A lot of mortality talk for the heart of a 65 year old.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

It’s always weird to me how much other big media (other than MSNBC on occasion) shied away from the obvious effectiveness of Fox (and the lil Foxes) propagandizing. Wouldn’t want to uncircle those wagons from when Obama accurately called them out I guess.

Inflation was a factor, sure, but would it have been as big a factor if there was any other media as powerful as Fox downplaying it as effectively as they downplayed an insurrection, corruption, incompetence, and sexual assault?

Seeing another round of “How did Trump win?” speculation, I don’t see nearly enough weight given to Fox News deciding that even in light of January 6th, he’s their star and they have to stick with him. Not the first studio to cover for a performer they need, no matter how abhorrent their behavior.

When do they just quietly add an MRI or whatever it is Trump can only get at Walter Reed to the White House medical suite?

Not in the press as much as social media, the home of frenzied speculation.

Do Democrats ever get away with acting like the premise of a perfectly reasonable question is absurd to this degree? Whether Sunday morning shows or congressional hearings, Republicans have made it their go to tactic.

I’d feel better about this exchange if Stephanopoulos didn’t have a little voice in his head now repeating “fifteen million dollars, George.”

Vance is having an incredible morning on the Sunday shows doing "oh so now it's illegal to [mundane thing]?"

A real quote when Vance is asked about whether Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he got in a fast food bag: "Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services?"

I’m never sure with Trump’s mystery visits to Walter Reed if he just enjoys triggering everyone’s frenzied speculation.

Maybe Trump thinks it was the "Biden FBI" in 2021 even before he was inaugurated because he treated it like the Trump FBI before he was inaugurated this year.

Trump claims the “Biden FBI” placed 274 agents at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Trump was president on Jan. 6.

President Trump has made clear that he is eager to use the might of the American military and the resources of the federal government to crack down on what he sees as domestic threats: violent crime, illegal immigration and the antifa movement.
Trump deploys tactics and language of war against perceived domestic threats
It represents a dramatic shift in the use of the military, which has been focused for most of American history on threats from abroad.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Am I supposed to interpret that as "probably true but the US media is super cautious about any Barron story" or "probably false, because, British media."

Why are only British papers running this "Barron Trump Tik Tok board seat" rumor?

If you grow up the son of an accused war profiteer, patriotism isn’t exactly in your blood.

It’s no wonder that Trump has such a twisted view of war and sacrifice. And the utility of bribes.
Donald was seven years old, and his father was brought before a U.S. Senate committee investigating abuses in a housing program for war veterans and middle class families. President Eisenhower had been outraged to learn of the bribes that developers paid to bureaucrats and of the alleged profiteering practiced by Trump and others. Ike called them "sons of bitches."
As federal investigators had discovered, the elder Trump had collected an extra $1.7 million in rent-equivalent to $15 million today-before beginning to pay back his low-cost government loan. He was able to do this because a bureaucrat named Clyde Powell approved the paperwork.
Powell, who had never been paid more than a modest government salary, had mysteriously amassed a small fortune. (While it was clear Powell accepted bribes, the sources were never officially identified.) In addition to collecting the extra rent, Trump paid himself a substantial architect's fee. And he charged inflated rents based on an estimate of construction costs that was far greater than what he actually spent. All of this was legal, even if it did victimize taxpayers, veterans, and other renters.
