And giving $20 billion in our tax dollars to Argentina whose prez was performing on stage.

But, Trump will NOT pay:
Military
TSA workers
Air Traffic Controllers
All the people who make his food (which, IMO, would get paid first! I read "Bullwhip Days.")

Think I will recommend that book next.

He's using us, our money and military, to defend his $5.5 BILLION investment in Qatar for a Trump golf course and resort deal he made in April.

Trump's pact to defend Qatar could shake up or shore up a fragile region

The order vows to use the US military, if necessary, to defend the tiny energy-rich nation almost mirrors aspects of a Nato alliance.

When you wake up and discover the Nobel Peace Prize was given to a woman who fought against you- tooth and nail. But you can’t post your upset because you’re at Walter Reed and can’t remember why…
Congratulations, Maria! You deserve it🩵

There is no doubt Bondi lied under oath when she testified there was no enemies list. Two of the three trump named political enemies has been indicted by an illegal appointee within a week of each other at trump’s orders. @schumer.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @democrats-judiciary.house.gov

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Can’t wait for Alito to explain why you have a right to pray at midfield on public school property but should be shot in the head with “less” lethal ammo when you do it in front of an immigration detention facility

Why won’t Speaker Johnson allow Bondi to testify in the House Judiciary Committee?

The American people deserve transparency, and we should not be covering up disgraceful and dangerous crimes.

There is no one in the Eastern District of Virginia willing to prosecute the Comey BS case. So the corrupt tRump DOJ had to bring in prosecutors from another district.
