Toady Blanche said no mo weaponization. Lied. Donny Trumpy said I'm a Golf Champ, i'm the ruler of the world & i want my money. 100% Trumpy thinks that $1.8 is his to do what he wants and he wants to keep it. All of it. He'll give the Proud Boys a few bucks, but 99% of will go to Trumpy. 100%.

NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom. GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.
The FIFA Peace Prize winner is taking part in a ceremony with Gianni -- and that right hand of his is looking pretty rough 😳
“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”
Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"
Trump: "I even had a conversation with Theodore Roosevelt. I said, 'What do you think about the Panama Canal? Do you consider that your greatest achievement and how do you feel about the fact that the Democrats gave the Panama Canal away to Panama for $1?'"
Republicans want to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, calling them “entitlements” that need to be fixed. Of course, they plan to do it after next year’s midterm elections.
George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe Supreme Court closed out its term with some blockbuster rulings that denied Trump some of the power he's demanded. But don't be fooled. This is still the same old MAGA Court, as it continues to shift the country far to the right. Guest contributor @importantmeagan.bsky.social connects the dots.
Yesterday’s back to back rulings by Chief Justice Roberts on the scope of executive power are inherently contradictory, and even the right-wing justices know it. The desired result comes first, then the justifications for it are back-filled. My write-up in link in replies.
Q: Critics say you're profiting off the presidency TRUMP: I'm profiting because the stock market is going up. Everybody is profiting. Thank you President Trump.

Rep. Brian Mast: "Ok, maybe they do end up getting $20 billion, let's say. Let's say we're still $300 to $500 billion ahead considering we destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force ... " (So American taxpayers paid both to bomb Iran and then for Iran's reconstruction ... )
DEVINE: Your tactics when you say something, and then change it -- people at home, sometimes I hear they feel anxious and confused TRUMP: That's good. That's good. If they're confused, then the Iranians are confused too.
Gen Mark Hertling: "[Hegseth is] substitut[ing] personal judgment for the military’s promotion system...a process specifically designed to insulate professional military advancement from politics while preserving appropriate civilian oversight." In other words, he hates women and Blacks.

Trump is a traitor to the United States and our allies. Trump and Netanyahu are war profiteers. Americans do not want another forever war. Trump did not get congressional approval to declare his personal war for personal gain. Republicans won't stop Trump so they are all complicit.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoDEVINE: What do you say to people who claim Netanyahu tricked you into going into Iran? TRUMP: They're the enemy. They're dumocrats. They want transgender mutilization of our children. He tricked me? I'm the one that started it. I'll tell you what- if there wasn't me, there'd be no Israel right now
The orange taint thinks he’s already a full-fledged dictator. This shows just how stupid he really is. He’s trying anything and everything to get us to Valent rise up.
George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social · 3mo agoA perfect metaphor.
BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement? BLANCHE: The Constitution IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

Trump makes the same corrupt authoritarian pitch to CA voters that he made to Hungarians: I will send lots of US taxpayer dollars to you if you vote for my guy.
Reporter: If the president's in such perfect health, why does he keep going back in for checkups? Oz: He likes the results. He does really well. Uh, he aces the test every single day
The MAGA movement is one of the worst things to happen to our country since World War II and the American Nazi Party.
