So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Russian defense and security firms are using supply chains in India to import thousands of security-linked goods originally made in Europe, new data tracking the scale of the trade shared with POLITICO shows.

Just really feeling appreciative today that Donald John Trump rushed the Covid vaccine through and took it himself and told everyone to. Good job Trump MAKING THE COVID VACCINE
If Trump wanted to help Ukraine, he could right now. He could send weapons such as Patriot interceptors, he could sanction Russian companies and those who do business with them--immediately. There is nothing stopping him except for the fact that he doesnt want to. Why is that?
This CBS News story reports Trump’s SCOTUS appeal on mail-in voting as just a garden-variety legal move. It doesn’t even make a nod toward noting that there’s zero evidence of fraud in the procedure. And that’s the subtle, gradual way you degrade a news org. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...
Trump asks Supreme Court to step into dispute over mail-in voting executive order

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.
People embracing a racist who trashes US democracy because she also now supports Ukraine need to understand what they are supporting. You must own this as well. There is one side in support of freedom and the rule of law, and this is not on that side.
The same would happen in the Soviet Union under the dictator Stalin. This is so profoundly un-American. Under Trump, the United States has fallen so far, so fast.

Trump talks toughest to America's allies—and most carefully to America's adversaries. Canada gets tariffs and insults. Zelensky gets public humiliation. Putin gets deference. Xi gets an off-ramp. That's not "America First." open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
Trump Bullies Allies Because He Thinks They Won’t Hit Back

Embarrassing, while attending an #EU Foreign Affairs Committee meeting, Lynn Boylan complained about not being allowed to use her own language. When other attendees pointed out that she was entirely free to speak Irish, she quickly shifted gears, conceding, "I wasn’t prepared, so I’ll use English."
MAGA: 2016 was fair! (Obama was President) 2020 was rigged! (Trump was President) 2024 was fair! (Biden was President) They’re going to rig 2026! (Trump is President) Why is Donald Trump so fucking bad at securing elections according to MAGA?
Lindsay died to cover up the fact that they won't say if McConnell is alive to confirm whether Iran has been totally defeated which keeps you from asking about the Epstien files.
The longer we allow grandpa to rage post to distract from the EPSTEIN Files, the more danger he creates for the safety & security of the world. Any doubt he would use nuclear weapons in a heartbeat if he thought it would benefit himself? I'm with Maj. Jason Watson: IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE 🇺🇸

Trump took another cognitive test and had another physical at Walter Reed. Has it even been two months since his last physical? There’s a massive coverup surrounding the President’s health happening right now.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 4w agoWow: Trump says he just finished yet another physical at Walter Reed and has requested another cognitive exam as rumors and evidence continue to pile up about his declining health and mental state.

Yet another MAGA influencer is facing sexual allegations involving a minor. Former actor James Woods allegedly invited a 16-year-old girl on a private trip to Las Vegas. After she told him she was 16, he allegedly replied: “Even better.” His tweets are now protected.

I’d love to hear the rational behind this. It certainly looks like another Trump effort to subvert the election. It’s going to fail, but that’s what it looks like.
