They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.
These are the people who are willing to go on the record.

This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy.

These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6.

They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".
Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021?

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol.

Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

Posting this one too.

My senior Senator did a masterful job in calmly and methodically exposing the cult-like commitment Trump judicial nominees have to lying through their teeth in order to please their beloved leader.

Just a sad, embarrassing display.
PAINFUL to watch. There’s a clear Trump judicial nominee loyalty test.

They must forever deny, deny, deny that he lost the 2020 presidential election.

Fragile.

Brain swelling, which necessitates regular MRI’s, and tiredness are main side effects of the Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi, administered intravenously through the hand. — So, is Trump secretly taking Alzheimer’s medication?

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang just said, "The whole world would've fallen apart" if $NVDA has a bad quarter and missed earnings expectations.

Do you realize what's happening?

The "picks and shovel" phase of this gold rush over. Nvidia sold the tools but miners are struggling to find gold.

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.
