Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants.

According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet:

“These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”

🚨 HUMILIATION AT THE WORLD CUP: SENEGAL STARS TREATED LIKE CRIMINALS BY US BORDER THUGS

Senegal 🇸🇳 national team arrives in the US for #WorldCup2026 — and what do they get?

US authorities pulling them off the plane for aggressive bag searches, invasive checks, and public degradation right on the tarmac. Top African football giants disrespected like suspects.

This is not "security." This is racist arrogance from the host nation that lectures the world on fairness while treating African players like second-class humans.

Same America blocking referees, humiliating teams, and showing its true face to the Global South.

Senegal, Africa is with you. CAF and FIFA — speak up or remain useless puppets.

The World Cup belongs to the world, not to US ego and discrimination.

Expose this disgrace. Share widely.

@BenVerlander Ahh, while most casual fans are quick to talk about his outrageous pitching and hitting performances -- The man's true gifts are taken to legendary status given that during the 2024 season he also stole 50 bases while hitting 50 home runs...

There's an obvious reason why the Republican Supreme Court Justices sound so nervous. During their confirmation hearings, these justices sat under oath and promised that Roe v. Wade was settled law. They lied. They told us they were independent. Then they quietly accepted luxury mega-yacht vacations from right-wing billionaires, flew insurrectionist flags outside their homes, and used shadow dockets to dismantle decades of worker and environmental protections.
Now, trying to persuade the public that a Republican-controlled Court issuing Republican-friendly decisions is not a Republican body has never been more difficult.
Now that their public approval has cratered, they are showing up to fancy think tanks to complain that Americans are being unfair to them. They are desperately demanding to be treated like impartial umpires who simply call balls and strikes.
But, ultimately, you do not get to strip away the bodily autonomy of millions of women, pocket millions in undisclosed gifts from conservative mega-donors, and then cry about a lack of respect.

Please share this deleted tweet far and wide.

ABC News just suspended senior national correspondent Terry Moran for making it.

Вдумайтесь. Посол Америки в Украине ушла в отставку и открыто обвинила Трампа в заключении союза с Путиным.

Респект Бриджет Бринк. Смелая и честная женщина

Sort of curious, since GOP thinks SS & Medicare are Federal Benefits and rather than earned entitlements, why don't Democratic Candidates coalesce around a political platform that requires all individuals having more than $10M be ineligiblefor Social Security & Medicare benefits.

When Donald Trump heard Robert Mueller had died he posted “Good, I’m glad he’s dead”

When Donald Trump heard Robert Reiner had been brutally murdered along with his wife in his own home…
Trump said “I bet he died because he had Trump Derangement Syndrome”

When Donald Trump heard Paul Pelosi had been savagely attacked with a hammer, his skull fractured and almost died…
Trump got on stage, mocked the attack and everyone laughed.

Donald Trump accused 5 Congressional Democrats of Treason…

Trump said they should be “Put to Dearth”

Donald Trump accused his hand picked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley of treason…

Trump said General Milley should be executed.

Trump encouraged his followers to attack the Capitol on January 6th and overturn the election results.

His supporters attacked the Capitol, built a Gallow and looked to execute Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.

Trump stood by for 186 Minutes and let the violence ensue.

Hundreds of Capitol Police Officers were injured.

4 Capitol Police Officers Died.

Trump has encouraged his supporters to “Knock the hell out of them” referencing protestors at his rallies.

Trump even stated he pay their legal fees.

This is the same motherfucker calling for the firing of Jimmy Kimmel because of a comedy skit.

The same motherfucker who just had James Comey arrested for posting a meme on Twitter.

If anyone needs to tone down the rhetoric.

It’s this piece of shit.

Wow. The Pope was just asked his stance on migration. His answer is amazing:

“I would change the question: what is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate.”

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.

I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.

If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.

That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact).

And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.

Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.
But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!

Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
