And the guy came to his big event and paid a bundle. Trump knows
Money. If in the moment he is
Clueless that should Worry us tremendously. More than the fact he is a habitual liar, which is worrisome enough.

A crypto billionaire pled guilty to money laundering.

Trump then pardoned him, but said "I know nothing about the guy" and that he has "no idea who he is."

Is he lying or clueless? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

WHAT KIND OF SHITHOLE FUCKWIT THROWS A "GREAT GATSBY" PARTY AFTER DENYING SNAP BENEFITS TO NEEDY FAMILIES? SPOILER ALERT: THE DONNY CONVICT KIND. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POWERFUL POST IN WHICH I COIN THE PHRASE "THE GREAT FATSBY" — YOU'RE WELCOME, AMERICA! LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4qWwqwf

it’s nighttime in America. our government has been shuttered for a month. millions of Americans have just lost their jobs, and millions more just lost their assistance benefits. prices of goods and services keep rising with no end in sight, and the cost of healthcare is about to skyrocket.

We the People are hurting — badly.

meanwhile, down in his vulgar Florida golf motel, a 34-criminal-count narcoleptic fart factory is hosting a party for his rich fuckwad friends who get off on destroying everything around them.

the theme of the party? some book about rich fuckwads who get off on destroying everything around them.

Depends on the food bank. I give food to one that does not take money but send $$ to one I used to volunteer with. They take food and $$ donations. The need is certainly greater than ever. Maybe Srs can consider donations with their RMDs coming up.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

“It’s We the People in whom all power resides,“ former federal @judgeluttig.bsky.social‬ says. “If the Supreme Court will not come to the aid of the country, then all that’s left is for we, the people, to take back the country through elections and protests. We have no choice.“ #Velshi

Judge Luttig: “We the People” are the final backstop for American democracy

While the Supreme Court has largely enabled Trump’s power grab, lower-court judges have risen to the moment, calling out government lies and defending the Constitution under historic pressure. Former federal judge Michael Luttig notes that, in the absence of a Supreme Court willing to confront Trump’s abuses, lower courts have taken the extraordinary step of speaking directly to the American people through their opinions— breaking with centuries of judicial tradition — because, as he puts it, it is a paramount obligation of federal judges ”to condemn what’s happening in America today.” If the Supreme Court fails to meet the moment, Luttig is blunt about who is left to defend democracy: “It’s we the people in whom all power resides,“ he says. “If the Supreme Court will not come to the aid of the country, then all that’s left is for we, the people, to take back the country through elections and protests. We have no choice.“

It’s time for EVERY American to shed their politics and confront our grim reality.

Donald Trump is a mentally unhinged authoritarian.

He wants to burn down everything good and decent in our Republic for daring to hold him accountable.

He is a threat to America…and the world.

In hindsight, it was probably a bad idea for voters to put the full force of the US state apparatus and military in the hands of a guy who bragged that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any support, and who was also granted immunity by the Supreme Court before taking office.
