So he took the bribe money, he got appointed to a new White House job presumably requiring a high security clearance that he shouldn't have received for being under investigation for taking bribe money, and then presumably he didn't report the bribe money on his income taxes. Three potential crimes.

Blaming the layoffs on the Democrats is like blaming Sophie for making a choice.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

In the summer of 2020, TikTok helped amplify and disseminate the murder of George Floyd by Derek Chauvin.

Look at how TikTok has now become a right wing platform that censors anything that offends MAGA snowflakes.

Exactly! One was even set in a garage, no where near a war zone, where it was snowing. Hell, even the American flags that show up in a lot of these have the wrong numbers of stars. It's not hard to tell if it is AI.

There is a bunch of MAGA morons making these AI videos of soldiers going "I am on the front line, fighting for America. I support Donald Trump..." Blah blah blah. And they are all obviously AI. And they are all over TikTok right now.
