Pro-Putin, 91 times indicted, 34 times a felon, failed US coup leader, malignant narcissist, junk food abuser, hair spray enthusiast, tenaciously dumb…
Heck of a platform to run on.
PabloReports: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund—
Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.
June 1, 1933: The "Fund of German Trade and Industry" is created, a huge slush fund administered by Martin Bormann in the Führer's name. The regime used the funds to compensate SA Stormtroopers who committed street violence, subsidize the SS, and enrich Nazi party officials.
If you honestly believe that any of the violent 1,600 rioters that stormed the Capitol and beat cops with flagpoles and fire extinguishers on January 6th deserves ONE CENT of our hard-earned tax dollars, you are a DISGRACE and an asshole.
The MAGA victory lap on getting Massie out when they had to spend 35 million and won by 10 in a Trump 35 district seems misguided.
Trump has a 34% approval rating. He’s -18 with Independents and Democrats are up 11 for the midterms. Plus, he just endorsed Ken Paxton who is so bad even his own party impeached him.
Plus, Trump’s campaign platform boils down to I don’t care about your finances, I’m going to trade stocks and make billions, use your money to pay J6ers, and get immunity from an audit for me and my family in perpetuity.
I think Democrats can work with that.
Bruce Springsteen appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show tonight and COOKED Trump and his goons
“I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke…. and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. Stephen, these are small minded people. They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about”
@hissgoescobra Another facet of the fealty these guys have for the authoritarian leader, like the question of who won the 2020 election. They know if they answer honestly, Trump will boot them.
Complete lack of integrity, courage, or honor. It’s especially disappointing coming from an officer.
“They” didn’t leak Trump’s tax returns. An IRS contractor did - along with thousands of other tax returns - during Trump’s first term.
Biden’s DOJ prosecuted the contractor, who got the max: 5 years in prison.
This is shameful spin from SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.
NEW: Records released tonight show that Reynolds, makers of Vuse vapes, gave $5 Million to MAGA Inc. days before the FDA wrote a policy that could allow them to make millions selling flavored vapes.

The slush fund.
The ballroom.
The IRS get-out-of-jail-free card.
Donald Trump isn’t serving the American people — he’s serving himself. And he thinks you’re dumb enough to fall for it.
BTC: "Neither one of you think that the Epstein files had anything to do with Trump turning on Thomas Massie?"
Both: "No! Brian, no!"
BTC: "I understand everybody on the right has to pretend the Epstein files are not a thing anymore, but everybody watching is going to know how clownish all of this is, that you are both pretending like the Epstein files had nothing to do with this, when the people Trump has turned on, he's done as a direct result of their support for the Epstein files!"
I can't believe we are still doing this.
Underage voters: This is flatly false. Georgia's Secretary of State investigated this claim by comparing the full list of people who voted against their birthdays. The audit revealed there were zero underage voters in the 2020 election. Raffensperger stated directly: "They said there were 66,000 underage voters. There were zero."
Dead voters: Vastly overstated. State officials investigated this and found a total of two instances of a deceased person's name being used to cast a ballot. "Usually, that's somebody who died recently, and a family member votes with [the name]," a state official noted, adding that such a handful of cases is consistent with every election.
Felons illegally voting: Significantly exaggerated. The Trump campaign alleged 2,056 felons voted illegally. Georgia officials said they were investigating a total of 74 potential felons who may have cast ballots. When Georgia's State Election Board referred cases for prosecution, among them were just four incidents of felons voting or registering to vote in the 2020 general election.
2,423 not registered to vote: Also false. Raffensperger specifically addressed this: "They said that there were 2,423 non-registered voters. There were zero."
1,043 voted via PO box: This claim conflates voter registration addresses with actual fraud. Having a P.O. box associated with a registration record is not itself illegal, and investigators found no evidence of fraudulent voting tied to P.O. boxes. A state audit examining this issue found no proof of fraudulent ballots.
4,926 voted after registration: This claim has also been investigated and found to be based on data mismatches — primarily clerical errors in dates, data entry issues, or voters who were already on the rolls and whose records were updated after the election. No credible evidence of people actually voting before being registered was found.
395 voted multiple states: This claim was based on matching names and partial data across state lines — a notoriously unreliable method that generates false positives. Investigators found no substantiated cases of double-voting that would have affected the outcome.
40,279 voted after moving counties: This one has the most merit and actually is the hardest to part, but it's largely a misunderstanding of the law. Georgia election officials have repeatedly said they found no credible examples of election fraud related to address changes. Critically, federal law is directly relevant here: the National Voter Registration Act explicitly states that a state cannot remove a voter from the rolls on the ground that they changed residence unless the registrant confirms in writing that they moved outside the jurisdiction. In other words, voters who have moved but haven't updated their registration are often still legally entitled to cast a ballot in their former jurisdiction under federal law.
Sworn affidavits: Yes, they exist. Affidavits allege but do not prove. The point of an affidavit is for a court to review it. Courts reviewed these extensively. Trump's legal team's challenges were repeatedly rejected in court, with one judge writing that plaintiffs presented "strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations... unsupported by evidence."
So, yes, cool list. All B.S. Also, btw, all super old (we knew most of this 4-6 years ago).
The Trump legal team's 66,248 underage voter figure came from their own flawed data cross-match of Georgia voter rolls (presented Dec. 3, 2020).
Georgia SOS officials reviewed the actual voter database—which includes birthdates—and found **zero** underage voters on Election Day. There were 4 cases where people requested absentee ballots before turning 18 but reached legal age by Nov. 3, so their votes were legal.
The gap was due to matching errors/false positives in the team's analysis. Officials explained this publicly at the time (e.g., Ryan Germany, Gabriel Sterling).
@HQNewsNow@DickBlumenthal The question that should be asked, just to get under the cult leader’s skin, is:
WHO LOST THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?
That question is a little harder to evade 😁
