Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 9h

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

Almost like someone had advance notice from inside Trump’s inner circle. Truly the golden age of corruption.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Lies, deception and gaslighting. That's what Trump and his sycophants do best.

“Soros paid professional protesters”. FFS. The NeverEnding bullshit that only works if you’re a member of the ignorant, gullible MAGA cult.

This has to benefit Trump and his family. No other reason for it.

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?
