Biden's popular-vote win (4.5 points) was 3 points larger than Trump's (1.5).

But Americans say Trump's was bigger, by a 21-point margin. (Even 26% of Dems say this.)

Part of this is recency. But part of it is that both Trump and Dems are treating it like a shellacking.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

At her confirmation, Pam Bondi suggested Trump wouldn’t pardon J6rs who acted violently.

“I’m not going to speak for the president, but the president does not like people who abuse police officers either.”

Tonight he pardoned ppl who committed both violent/nonviolent crimes.

Donald Trump just pardoned Keith Packer, a man known for wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" hoodie on January 6th

"If you committed violence on that day [Jan. 6] obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. And there is a little bit of gray area there." -- JD Vance, eight days ago.

NEW: With a stroke of his pen, Donald Trump laid waste to the four-year effort to punish the people who stormed the Capitol in his name on Jan. 6, 2021.

Among the 1,500 pardoned: People convicted of brutal assaults on police and seditious conspiracy.

Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena.

“Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said before putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the “Sieg Heil” used by Nazis at their victory rallies.

“It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," Musk said.

Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency," an outside commission aimed at identifying federal programs and spending to cut. After Trump was sworn in, multiple lawsuits were filed against the Trump administration claiming that the move violates federal transparency laws.

A leaked House Budget Committee doc reveals that Republicans will pursue big cuts Medicaid and other vital programs. Why?

To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

How can it be legal for a president to launch a cryptocurrency days before he moves in to the white house? This is a lifelong criminal that stole Americas secrets last time and sold them. The entire presidency was a fraud. The presidency in America is now a criminal enterprise..

Remember saying this regarding Trump’s last inauguration?

This may well be the last mass protest effort that won’t be subject to Trump invoking the insurrection act or using military force.

The order will come. The open question is what the rest of the system will do when it does.

Trump has quadrupled his net worth in 12 hours with an unregulated commodity and not one major news outlet has even mentioned it.

Unfuckingbelievable.
