Speaking as a former Californian with continuing deep ties to the state: Go ahead and be Florida's problem, you greedy fascist fuckwaddles
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.

Donald Trump is objectively one of the worst humans to have ever poisoned the planet.
Good people don't support him.
They simply don't.
His supporters need to be rejected by decent human beings.

In 1993, Trump signed mortgages for 2 homes in Florida, claiming each as his principal residence.
He does not appear to have ever lived in either, let alone used them as a principal residence. They were investment properties & rented out.
Yet he accuses others of fraud?

Yes, but not for that reason. He's reversing his position & taking credit for it as his idea because he either knows that anything incriminating him has been "removed," or, much more likely, he knows the files will not be released (DOJ - "the files can't be released bc of an ongoing investigation").
Keep in mind this is Trump reversing his position that he has held for many months because House Republicans were going to vote to release the files.
Now he’s going to make it his idea.
Now he’s going to make it his idea.
President Trump on the Epstein files:
“House Republicans should vote to release the files because we have nothing to hide.”

Most definitely. Will work for him in keeping the files from being released as they will continue the "investigation" in perpetuity. Won't work for him politically, and would result in him losing the House next year. But Part B of the plan is creating some disaster and calling off the election.
How it probably happened:
Trump: I can’t make this Epstein mess go away. Even some republicans are starting to cave. Ungrateful cowards. What would they do without me and my rich friends?
Bondi: It will not come to that.

Also, House reopens & Congresswoman-elect Grijalva presumably gets sworn in. Huge win as presumably a vote on releasing Epstein files soon follows. It is key that this happens before the TN special election in early December. For this reason, I think Trump manufactures a reason not to sign any deal.
This promise is worthless but I understand the politics of it. This leaves all the damage at the feet of Republicans going into the midterms. Well played Democrats. Well played.
The deal would include a promised vote on extending Obamacare tax credits in December, the sources said. It could also include some kind of language to help federal workers who have been laid off under the shutdown.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.
Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.
No one should have that much.

At Menards hardware store in Cicero, IL
It's a major hardware chain throughout the Midwest.
Look at Trump's masked thugs shattering the truck windows and dragging a man off to an unmarked car.
Menards told employees to delete any videos they took of the ICE raid—or they would be fired.
