President Donald J. Trump is always wide awake and has never nodded off during a press conference or cabinet meeting. Anyone who says as such is FAKE NEWS. I've compiled EVIDENCE of his alertness and vigor! No clip is looped. Music - "Ice Dancer"
A nation of laws covers everyone EXCEPT trump & family. Total bs. No one is above the law.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoActing AG Todd Blanche says he's working to install "roadblocks" to prevent Democrats from prosecuting Trump and his associates in the future
Time to flood SCOTUS with one statement: keep mifepristone available thru telehealth & mail delivery.
Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe administrative stay in the mifepristone case ends Monday. Unless SCOTUS issues an order regarding whether the injunction should stay in place while the litigation proceeds, the Fifth Circuit’s ban on obtaining the abortion drug via telehealth goes into effect. substack.com/home/post/p-...
The moron identifies himself :-)
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 4mo agoThat would be bad if that ever happened.
In spite of Kennedy's education, he is still ignorant.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoSen. John Kennedy: "The president has Iran by the ying yang. There's nothing going in and there's nothing coming out."
When Putin shows up, will we arrest him for invading Ukraine?
Frank Figliuzzi@frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social · 4mo agoTrump is inviting Putin to the G20 Summit at Trump’s Doral Golf Resort. You know, the guy who’s helping Iran target us during war. My thoughts on Substack here: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...
Why, yes! We respect the Iranians so much we'll bomb them into oblivion. So much bullpucky from these maga stalwarts.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoJoe Kernen to Trump: "I know how much you respect and admire and are concerned with the Iranian people. This is in large degree one of the reasons you decided to embark on this whole thing."
Sit down Mike Johnson. Sit the eff down.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoMike Johnson on the Pope: "If you wade into political waters, you should expect some political response & the Pope has received some. Frankly I was taken a bit aback by him saying something about 'those who engage in war, Jesus doesn't hear their prayers' or something. There's 'just war' doctrine.'"
Translation: we own CBS. They'll do as they are told.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoFCC Chair Brendan Carr: "I'm pleased with some of the changes we're seeing at CBS. They're trying something different."
Hope is not a strategy. Get to work on policies that deliver.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoRandi Weingarten to @patrioticmillionaires.org: "We have to make it easy for somebody to see hope and light. Whether you call them fascists, authoritarians, or feudalistic lords like Peter Thiel, they rely on fear, division, apathy, and isolation. It's really hate vs. hope."
Translation: US installs puppet govt in cuba.
Edward Wong@ewong.bsky.social · 5mo agoNEW: The Trump administration is seeking to oust the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, in its talks with Cuban political leaders. It plans to allow the Castro family to keep power if they agree to economic changes, creating a client state for the US. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/w...
Translation: Trump says" I'm wonderful; no one solves every problem like me; economy up, jobless rates down; $ from tariffs pouring in. Oh! Look! Squirrel"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5mo agoTrump is delulu: "Jobs are coming in through the roof and we have factories being built all over the country. We've taken in $18 trillion plus in 11 months."
Translation: this govt is too stupid to know when theyre being had.
Grudgie the Whale@grudgie.bsky.social · 6mo agoRussia is the one thing that can attack the US in countless ways and Trump never ever ever responds
Yeah, we get $3.50 gas while we pound another nation into submission. Is it worth it given all the lies?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoKudlow: "$3.50 gasoline -- people are talking like this is the end of the world. No, it's not. In return for what? In return for completely rewriting history favorably to the United States."
America strangles other countries, then demands cooperation. How mafia of us.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoSen. Rick Scott: "Iran is evil. China is evil. North Korea is evil. Communist China is evil. So we're got at least four now. Maybe we'll be down to less now with Venezuela changing and with what Trump is doing in Cuba. Hopefully we'll have more people cooperating."
Thank you, Trump, for gridlocking congress until the midterms! Now, let's make sure the GOP is voted out up and down the ballot!
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 6mo agoPresident Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The man wouldn't even remove his merchandise from his head so, no, he wasn't "grieving".
Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com · 6mo agoPresident Donald Trump on Saturday joined grieving families at Dover Air Force Base at the dignified transfer for the six U.S. soldiers killed in the war in the Middle East.
Please advise what Hassett is smoking to provide context for these predictions.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoKevin Hassett is just trying to gaslight his way through it: "With 4 percent growth this year, which is about what I expect we're gonna see, then there will be so much activity that everybody is gonna be able to find a job that wants one."
All the major departments in this administration are led by corporate shills. Their whole focus is corporate advantage over people.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoEnergy Secretary Chris Wright: "The politics of the climate cult was, 'We can't have any more hydrocarbons! 'We can't have any more hydrocarbons!' They stand in the way of stuff and just make it more expensive. It's really crazy."
Time to vote the GOP out, up and down the ballot in 2026.
The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us · 6mo agoListen to this guy...something is seriously wrong that they're not telling us.
When you finally realize Trump works for putin, you'll understand why he's driving the US into bankruptcy.
Truthout@truthout.org · 6mo agoTrump has ominously said that the U.S. has the weaponry to fight “forever,” as the administration’s refusal to state a definitive timeline or end goals for its war on Iran sparks worries of yet another prolonged, disastrous U.S. conflict in the Middle East.
Its time to vote these crazy people out of office. DHS is a renegade organization violating the civil rights of immigrants & citizens alike.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoRep. Randy Fine: "The idea the Democrats will keep DHS closed -- it's as close to an act of treason as I can imagine"
Translation: we have $$$ & we're going to waste it revetting people because we can.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoKristi Noem: "We're going back and re-vetting all of those individuals and making sure that we know that if someone is here in this country, that they love America"
Tuberville continues to expound on another subject he knows nothing about.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoTuberville on a mass shooting in Texas in March 2026: "Opening up this war in Iran is really gonna open up more serious thoughts of possibly having things happen like happened in Austin the other night. It's coming because Joe Biden and the Democrats let these people across the border."
