Anyone who lived in NY in the ‘90s knew Trump was a con artist & a two-bit hustler who bankrupted businesses over and over. There’s a reason 9 out of 10 people in Manhattan didn’t vote for him. But Mark Burnett convinced millions of reality TV-watching Americans he was a successful businessman.

Have the Trump psychotics found the leader of antifa yet? Are they aware that Gen Eisenhower, that noted anti-fascist, is no longer with us and can’t be arrested? Perhaps they can dig up Winston Churchill & bring him to ICE HQ?

People keep saying that Trump is prosecuting his political enemies but that’s not what this is.

She’s not a political enemy, she’s a prosecutor who charged and tried a criminal. The criminal got away and now has the power to exact revenge. A mobster ordering a hit. That’s all this is!

It’s hard to overstate how grotesque is the prosecution of Letitia James. I hope John Roberts—who unleashed this malignant, vengeful career criminal on our beloved country—is enjoying Trump’s utter abuse of power and trashing of justice and the rule of law.

There’s America and then there’s Trump’s America (that depends on lying propagandists like these). You can hate what the latter is doing to America exactly as an expression of love for the former, our beloved country.

Still true!

Trump can’t:

take away our anger
stop us from using our minds
stop us from reading & writing
hide his fraudulence
make us hate a free America
convince us our allies are our enemies
make us stop loving
stop us from using our collective power

Elected Republicans are getting desperate. Their lies are getting more ridiculous. They’re now trying to discourage protest by claiming No Kings will be a hate rally with terrorists. Millions of Americans have the chance to demonstrate how wrong they are.

Let’s not forget that every single Republican who stands by and enables Donald Trump could stop this recklessness today, tomorrow or any damn day of the week. Their failure—their refusal—to do so makes them complicit in his crimes and the crimes of his corrupt, lawless regime.

The fact there’s a man in our White House who constantly expresses his hatred for half of the country and makes clear his desire to strip away programs supported by Democrats should tell millions & millions why they need to be a part of the No Kings protest if they still believe in America.

This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean.

I broke down the “Antifa Roundtable”—which amounted to an immersive horror experience to entertain one person: Donald Trump.

One look at Steve Witkoff’s portfolio and itinerary makes it clear: a shadow trilateral is forming between Trump, Putin, and the Emir of Qatar.

The goal is to isolate Europe, rehabilitate Putin, and use Qatari wealth to fill Trump’s pockets.
