Trump pardoned Dem Henry Cuella last week. Already, that sounds weird, right?

Well, Cuellar announcement that he’s running for office & Trump is super pissed.

Uhm, 🤔 …why? Was a quid pro quo connected to this pardon?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Aww, well isn’t that too bad.

Trump is getting all pissy behind the scenes bcz ppl are talking abt him not being to stay awake at meetings.

Yeah, the guy who calls Pres Biden “Sleepy Joe”, in print and live, all the time, can’t take the heat when he’s called out for falling asleep *on camera*!!

It’s disgusting that SCOTUS is hearing this case. 😡

Seriously-They know wht the constitution says. And, it’s been in place over 100 yrs. The prob? Too many POC.

That said, look up ‘birth tourism’. It’s been a ‘thing’ for yrs in Miami. 🤬

And, wait! Is tht Jesse Watters sitting next to her?

I still haven’t figured out how Jessica Tarlov keeps her job on Fox. She always seems to call out all of the BS.

Any clues? What have I missed?

GOOD LUCK, Marc!!

On Dec 9th, Marc will argue his 5th case before the SCOTUS. This one involves a core provision of federal campaign finance law that is being challenged by the national Republican Party.

Marc will represent the Democratic Party.

Damn him!

Trump has renamed the US Institute of Peace. 🤬

The WH has previously said tht his work on diplomacy is more impressive thn tht of the USIOP, which the WH has called a “bloated, useless entity. Months ago, he fired most of the staff & gutted the org. 🤨

Trump is trying to obtain our voter info. He’s already suing 14 Democratic-controlled states for access.

Why? Bcz they’re looking for ways to discredit voters, unregister voters, etc…any way they can reduce the #s of D voters.

Our voter info is private! It MUST stay that way.
BREAKING: The DOJ sued six more states to force them to hand over unredacted voter rolls with the information of millions of voters.

Fourteen states have now been sued by the DOJ over their voter rolls. No case has yet succeeded.

1/2—Yes. It makes a LOT of sense.

The admiral saw the handwriting on the wall, knew wht Hegseth & the Ch’rman of the Joint Chiefs wanted him to do was illegal, & told thm ‘I’m not your man for this. Get some1 else to do your dirty work’

As mentioned in another post, I hope Congr reaches out to him
This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.

He served for 37 years.
December 3, 2025 at 6:20 PM
Of course he did.

Why? Bcz they are birds of a feather.

Plus, there is no way Trump pardoned him w/out getting something out of it. Think former-Mayor Eric Adams. T doesn’t do things out of the goodness of his heart.

I’ve got it! T lost ~$1B in a crypto crash. Maybe a contribution frm Henry?

The Nodfather….asleep while Marco Rubio speaks at Trump’s Cabinet mtg today.

And, this wasn’t a one-off. I’ve watched clips of several ppl speaking during this mtg & Trump just cannot keep his 👀 open. 🫩😴

Perhaps he shouldn’t hve stayed up last night sending 150 posts on Truth Social.🤨
Rubio is talking about Americans dying and Trump is literally asleep. This isn’t a slip. It’s who he is.

Yep. There he goes. Falling asleep *again*.😴

This happened TODAY at his Cab mtg. Several ppl spoke, but he kept nodding off. When he caught himself, he nodded as if he heard them.🙄

He even slept as Rubio, sitting nxt to him, spoke loudly. But, it didn’t wake him.
