Trump inherited one of the strongest economies in the world, yet 33% of Americans still think he inherited a disaster. The power of right wing propaganda. #BlueWaveIn90Days

EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN! Professor Richardson takes us deeper into Epstein's finances and how banks, while making a fortune, ignored federal laws on money laundering.

On Friday night, a court filing from Capital One denied there was any political motivation behind the closure of more than 380 bank accounts in the names of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.

@brat2381.bsky.social don't forget "tax free weekends" or "tax holidays" heading toward back-to-school time to stock up on things like dishwasher detergent, personal care items, paper goods, etc. (as well as actual school supplies or needed "big ticket" items), depending on state of residence.
Trump on domestic abuser Max Miller: “He’s a good person.” Trump on trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well.” Trump on the Pope: “He needs to shut up!”
Incredibly well said. The assumption is always that other people will be more honorable than he is and that seems dumb. When you break the public trust and the social contract it tends to stay broken.
Experts argue this is not binding, so breaking it would not violate any rules. But your post brings up for me the larger point, Mr. Trump has benefitted enormously from people, companies, and institutions following the rules he himself never would avoid violating. He use asymmetric ethical warfare.
Guy I lived with took me out to dinner. Then fessed up he had been cheating.. I wish I had done this. Carol Burnett did a skit on that same thing. She grabbed the tablecloth and flipped everything all over the restaurant. Then shouted to everyone what he had done. I just walked out and started home.
No wonder he's insisting the Republicans install his mob fixer at the DOJ. What I wouldn't give for a few sleeper Rs to join Ds and ashcan Blanche.
The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.
This case may seem a trivial example of the weaponization  of the judiciary and corruption of the Felon regime, but it’s not. Full force of Federal Law used and top administration officials, including Sec Interior, were willing to lie to protect Trump’s fragile ego to persecute an innocent man.
SEVEN states had cyber attacks on their water systems. People, we are all sitting ducks. This is the future our sociopathic Plutocrats have decided for us.
Hmmm, va-va-boom, sheesh, einsteinium, DIY and New Left 🧐
Minnesota will return 1,376 hectares of forest to the Fond du Lac Nation of the Ojibwe people. The community will recover ancestral lands and combine traditional knowledge with modern science to manage forests and protect biodiversity.

Trump calls Democrats socialists and communists because they support Social Security and Medicare, unlike him cepr.net/publications...
Democrats are Socialists: They Support Social Security and Medicare
Republicans use socialism as a political attack, but many voters now associate it with Social Security, Medicare, and public services.

Rand Paul got the subpoena. He got the diaries. He got the hearing room, the cameras, and five years to prepare. He still walked out with nothing. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/fauci-just...

In world wired together for instant connection, people feel more disoriented, more isolated and more detached than ever.

Heroes like Anthony Fauci make Republicans look like criminals
So they tried to destroy his good name. That's the story.
editorialboard.com
Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.
"All of the GOP's allegations intend to smear Dr. Fauci's reputation, in effect stealing the esteem and respect that are rightfully his. Every Senate Republican is alive in part thanks to him, yet how do they repay him? With acts of perversion. They're trying to turn a hero into a villain."
