We don’t and I share your concern. I’m not convinced that Trump actually won the 2024 election. The last 3 or so weeks of the campaign Trump seemed pretty nonchalant about how things were going despite getting killed by Harris in their debate and her having much larger crowds at her rallies.

Unfucking believable. Building a Qatari Air Force base in Idaho. What nonsense. Is this what Qataris got for giving the Fuhrer a used jet? On American land no less. Lock these corrupt assholes up and throw away the key.

I prefer to think of him as the guy with a Dick tattoo on his back

That about sums up all his traits

a shirtless man with a tattoo of a man 's face on his back is standing next to a car .

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

I listen to POTUS on SiriusXM during the day. Occasionally in the early evening I hear The Real Clear Politics segment. The segment purports to be non-partisan, but let’s get real. These hosts are clearly Trump-leaning right wingers to the point that I have to change the channel to not gag. 🙄

Is this the smoking gun?

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

Fascinating. Oh, and why would there be rioting in Utah because someone murdered charlie kirk?

You could confront people with this and they'd shrug, but if they consider a flipped scenario: Gavin Newsom said "I was praying that it would be a Christian MAGA from Utah because that would make it so much easier for me." Not so great, huh?
