Trump calls his opponents “communists,” but he’s the one turning private companies into government-owed businesses.

You know why it looked so disingenuous to me?

Because Chuck Schumer backed Janet Mills.

Democrat leadership has been so weak that my default setting at this point is: if Chuck Schumer supports it, don't trust it.

If I made a mistake, fine. How do you propose I issue a correction?

WTF are you talking about?

I don't sit in front of social media all day.

Thank you for the link. It looks like I didn't know he was aware of the skull & crossbones he tattooed on himself. I'll read you link later - thank you 🙏 - and I will delete my post if it is the way it looks.

Yeah, hard to look when I’m driving you know?

Thanks

StevieVanWailin @stevievanwailin.bsky.social · 14h

i haven’t seen that.

Can you provide a link please?

Thanks.

This is a disingenuous post.

He has a skull & crossbones tattoo not a swastica. Reasonable that he didn't realize it was Nazi skull & crossbones.

Where was all this Dem outrage when Trump promoted THIS guy as a "martyr" at his rallies and had hime speak at TWO Bedminster fundraisers last year??

Respectfully, you are wrong

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are the ones attacking Mamdani by not endorsing him and expressing "reservations"

Chuck Schumer is the one who inserted Janet Mills in to this race

I don't recall Schumer or Jeffries saying jack sh*t about Trump openly promoting Hitler

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

But it gets worse. According to the New York Times, the DOJ does not “require a public announcement of settlements made for administrative claims before they become lawsuits.”

That means the DOJ could pay Trump $230 million in complete secrecy.

Donald Trump is reportedly demanding that the DOJ pay him $230 million in damages related to the criminal cases it brought against him in 2023.

This is a particularly outrageous government ethics issue—even for Trump. Let’s break it down 🧵

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

The longest government shut down was during Trump's first term.

It's too bad Democrats do not call out Donald Trump like this for literally promoting Adolf Hitler at his rallies and Bedminster fundraisers.

Trump promoted THS guy as a "martyr" and had him to Bedminster to speak - twice - at fundraisers. Where is the action and investigations in to THAT???

This isn't just a nazi symbol, it's the symbol of the Holocaust. It was often the last thing hundreds of thousands of people saw before they were murdered by the SS. This isn't some obscure esoteric symbol, it was the insignia of the SS! It's unforgivable to get this as a tattoo.

Someday historians will marvel at the fact that a major political party and millions of Americans enabled the rule of law’s demise in the U.S. … all for this crude, tacky, greedy man in the pink tie, seen here partying with his close friend, a serial abuser and pedophile.
