Hunter Biden getting $30K/mo to sit on the Burisma board was a media obsession for YEARS. Meanwhile the Trumps recently made $5 billion in a single day via one of their crypto scams, and shit like this happens all the time, and there are practically zero headlines or cable news segments about it.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made +$192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

the administration is laser-focused on making sure Americans don't get clean energy, so Saudi Arabia (Trump's paymaster) has someone to sell their oil to in 10 years when the rest of the world has moved on to solar+batteries

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Some dickwad billionaire will just invent his own peace prize and award it to Trump. The Freedom Society Peace Prize or some other bullshit. And then Trump will post incessantly about how it's a very special and very sacred honor that no other president has ever won.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Jake Tapper, who eviscerated Biden for the sin of growing older, has done everything but help install a chair lift in the White House to cover up Trump's deepening dementia and utter feebleness.

Kevin Elliott @kjephd.bsky.social · 5d

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president — not any of his aides — who authored the written responses to his questions.

He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly.

The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity.

He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings.

Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Carl, at some point doesn't it become embarrassing that no one on CNBC is willing to ask Lutnick about Epstein - who was his neighbor for two decades? Clearly he has a lot to say about the guy.

Lutnick on Epstein:

Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it?

Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

Jake Tapper letting this sack of shit right off the hook simply by saying he hadn't seen Trump's AI video is typical Tappering. Pretending to ask tough questions to Republicans but in reality just rolling over like an obedient puppy.

Mmmm, yes, heartening that the generals will feel conflicted as they inevitably fold and order drone strikes on Democrats' houses.

In this Ohio Starbucks, customers sip Charlie Kirk's signature Mint Majesty tea with two honeys as they compile lists of their Democrat neighbors for the military to wage war against. But now the woke mob wants to take that away.

And generously, neither of the CNBC hosts pressed him on this. Just accepted it at face value, even though they know for a fucking FACT that he's lying. CNBC is OAN with a stock ticker.
