He makes ominous threats, and a minute later is begging people to vote Republican.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h agoTrump on the midterms: "We're going to elect a Republican House and a Republican Senate, stop the Dumocrats and the communists and we're gonna do a number like nobody has ever seen. They have a big surprise coming."
Trump: "It's interesting -- China makes the windmills, but try finding a wind farm in China. There is no such." (China has the largest wind power capacity in the world!)
a grandmotherly woman just got booted from the Trump rally for protesting, and she went out like a hero talking trash and flipping the double bird
Trump makes genocidal threats against Iran and then IMMEDIATELY pivots to whining about not winning the Nobel Peace Price. You can't make it up.
Footage from yesterday’s ICE shooting in the Bronx. You can see no agent was in front of the car. This is from @walitalks.bsky.social and @communalpress.bsky.social on ig.
The 5 year old now risks SA by ICE "agents" and trafficking.
Today, and every day, we stand with the Somali community.
This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
We're maybe a week away from a Trump official shouting "White Power!" at one of these conferences.

When I was a kid, I lived in a country (Syria) with public executions (hangings) and these are by definition not happy places.

How is owning/controlling all of this media NOT a violation of the Clayton Act? At least parts of it? The judge already ruled in one of the preliminary hearings that it did look as though the merger violates the Clayton Act. Then the theater owners suddenly changed their tune & approved the merger

Trump: "Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles on the way. You want to see a horror show? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. You want to see some bad things happen?"
He's still got this microboner for destroying major US cities. Probs should impeach this guy.

Trump: "I didn't say, 'Oh, I'll give you the pardons if you turn Republicans.' I could've done that very easily. But I thought there would be a good chance that Cueller might say, 'Wow, he did something really wonderful.'"
In this same clip this motherfucker lies once again about paying more under Biden and I'm sorry but this whole line about missiles hitting West Coast cities really needs closer examination

The President of the United States, in front of a crowd of his supporters, during a televised rally, admits to a Quid Pro Quo pardon, which is a felony and impeachable offence. And absolutely nothing will happen, because his party, which controls congress, are fascist collaborators and sycophants.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agomoments after saying he didn't expect anything in exchange for pardoning Cueller, Trump admits "I guess I expected maybe he wouldn't run or maybe he'd run as a Republican"
wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb
Ken Paxton: "Pray that we will be delivered from socialism and capitalis-- ahm, from communism"
If Democrats win, johnson will not be speaker at the point where they are swearing in the new Congress. They are sworn in by the speaker elect, who is chosen by the member elects

🚨BREAKING: Democrats are suing the Trump administration for using $20 million in taxpayer money on campaign-style TV ads promoting Trump. The ads carry explicit disclaimers saying they were paid for by the U.S. government, which the party argues violate federal law.
In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."
