JUST IN: Trump to covert Reflecting Pool into a drag race track.
Mary Trump: “Donald never actually made any money in his life. He inherited a lot of money. Lost a lot of money. And has since figured out how to leverage the power of the presidency to grift."
Talarico: Paxton gave an Epstein-style sweetheart deal to an admitted child predator, was reported to FBI for bribery by his own staff, became a multi-millionaire on a government salary & now own 15 homes on the public's dime. He should have to answer the public's questions. Let's get busy! vote.org

Michele Fiore raised more than $70,000 for a memorial statue honoring Las Vegas police officer Alyn Beck, who was killed in the line of duty. She used the funds for cosmetic surgery, rent, and her daughter’s wedding. A jury convicted her in two hours. Trump pardoned her before she was sentenced.

Citizens received federal passports bearing the president's face, unannounced and unavoidable. Treasury then issued a press release equating the ruler with the state. The Founders rejected this exact monarchical impulse in 1792. They are no longer around.
The President Is Not the Country
At 250, the United States let one living president stamp his face and signature across the documents and symbols that belong to everyone.
