I keep thinking about those missile strikes on the "go-fast" boats in the Caribbean. If those boats had been attacked and severely damaged by US surface vessels, would the US ship pick up survivors? Or would it be ok to just machine gun the people in the water until everyone was dead?

Trump is truly Making America Great Again - for white collar criminals, scam artists, drug kingpins, and sex offenders. Pardon Power!
Meanwhile he cripples regulators, DOJ, FBI, Inspectors General, and gives away favorable rulings to tech bros, crypto scammers, and cronies. Follow the money folks.

Coach leaves current football job for LSU - reportedly 7 year deal for $12M per year. Meanwhile, Trump attacks "woke" schools, e.g. Harvard, Columbia, Northwestern, withholds grants and research funds. Kills Dept of Ed.

He knows it's all falling apart. This is a clear reaction to that. He's going to be lashing out more and more as things get worse and worse for him. As I said in a previous post, it's called an 'extinction burst'...and it's happening now in real time.

At least 30 individual or corporations who have given over $116M to Trump and his super PAC have received regulatory favors from the Trump White House.

That includes Big Tobacco companies, Pharma giants, and crypto moguls like the Winklevoss twins.

Pay-to-play corruption.

Well, the alleged perpetrator should rest easy, knowing that he has a friend in the oval office. Maybe Trump will pull some strings with DeSantis and get this guy a pardon for his state charges?

Listen up Dems. Keep your pedal to the metal in pushing against Trump. DO NOT LET UP THE PRESSURE. He will come back at you as strongly as he can, using EVERY legal (and illegal) means he has to strike out at you. Keep exposing Trump for the criminal he is.

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations.

Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date.

Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term.

ALL WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS.

As Trump continues his perpetual lying and prevaricating, it's good to remember that his is the MOST corrupt and dishonest administration in US history.

I have to ask...why in the world is the news media still attending WH press briefings? They'd be better served sitting at their desks asking questions of a magic 8-ball.
Reporter: “The president posted on True Social that the voting underway in California is ‘rigged.’ What evidence does he have of that?”

Leavitt: “There’s fraud in California’s elections. It’s just a fact.”

Reporter: “What’s the evidence of that, though?”
