@RadioFreeTom Trump is definitely reshaping the Middle East, but it's all bad for us. Generations of Americans will pay the price for this.
This is what we get for electing an unserious, narcissistic, mentally ill person to lead the most powerful country on the planet.
I have carefully reviewed Todd Blanche’s qualifications to be Attorney General. This includes his record and responses to questions from Senators at the Department of Justice Appropriations hearing, his confirmation hearing, and in the weeks that followed.
While I believe Mr. Blanche is a capable lawyer, the Department of Justice has become increasingly political.
Mr. Blanche has taken several actions that have further eroded the Department’s independence, and that is the basis for my vote to oppose his confirmation:
Mr. Blanche approved an order to shield the President, his sons, and the family business from IRS audits, protections unavailable to other American taxpayers.
He approved the creation of a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund.
He promised an anti-abortion organization that he would seek to prohibit the mailing of abortion medication to women nationwide.
Under his leadership, the Department attempted to indict Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin over their ill-advised, but constitutionally protected, videos encouraging resistance to unlawful orders.
More than 1,200 former Department of Justice employees have opposed his nomination, arguing that he has undermined the institution.
For these reasons, I will vote against this nomination.
Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks?
TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
Democrats should put together their own voter ID bill.
It contains ONE thing... it demands that all voters have a specific ID that is free of charge and easily accessible. Nothing else appears in the bill... just the ID.
Why? Because watch Republicans reject it 100%. It's not just about IDs, folks. It's about the two dozen other provisions in those bills. Show the public that the ID part is pure theater.
Trump has so fucked this whole thing up. He launches a war and doesn’t know why, he’s fucked it up every step along the way, he doesn’t know how to get out of it, and Iran will end up even stronger & more dangerous. This is what happens when you put an idiot in the White House.👇
Look: here’s the core of the issue with the USA. Even if the next US President, as he should, comes crawling back to the world on his knees, begging for forgiveness, no other country can rely on a USA whose electorate is stupid and malleable enough to elect Donald Trump twice.
@BuckyChubb@benpershing Nothing says “for the people” like making money off of selling faster access to market-moving information to high frequency traders who will exploit it at the expense of everyday investors.
World Liberty Financial has been the biggest crypto cash cow for the Trumps.
It follows a familiar “pump-and-dump” pattern that delivered $1.1 billion for the family.

The emoluments clause is supposed to prevent the President from receiving foreign bribes.
That hasn’t stopped Trump’s family from receiving about $13 billion in “investments” from foreign governments, especially in the Middle East.

Reuters analysis found that the Trumps have raked in $2.3 billion from 4 different crypto ventures.
Through the same schemes, their investors lost $2.3 billion.

@JDVance you are a pathetic opportunist... history and your children will correctly judge you for this terrible shit you are doing. It's worse b/c you know it's bullshit...
Trump: Look at what happened in this Spencer Pratt thing. Hundreds of thousands, probably millions of votes gone where he didn't make the runoff, he was so far ahead of third place, it was ridiculous. Maybe ahead of first place. Had the US attorney not started an investigation, they would have gotten Steve Hilton out too. We're a third world country in some states with respect to voting.
.@piersmorgan recounts his Russell Brand interview to @Timodc: " If you were a genuine born-again Christian... you would probably remember the verse that you're talking about, which was the one that was most important to you in your hour of darkness...he couldn't remember where the hell it was in the Bible."
