Does anyone else feel like the mafia has taken over the white house?

Does anyone sane *not* feel like that?

That's because the mafia in fact has taken over the US. It started with Fred Trump. He started real estate projects with the mafia right after WWII. Donald literally inherited the job from him. All through the eighties, Trump was the legal facade of the Gambino family. That is, until Trump rather became a police informant and delivered John Gotti to prosecutor Rudy G. There's a reason he didn't go to prison then…

Of course the Russian mafia has taken over from the Italians in the nineties. See where this is going?

I'm not all that familiar with the history you mention, not least because I barely knew this particular guy existed until 2015. I didn't watch his garbage TV show, that's for sure. All I can say is that your narrative certainly sounds likely, and I hope it doesn't continue.

Tbh, it took a long time to get where I'm now.

I heard the first about Trump when media all over the world reported that Trump filed bankruptcy in 1990(?) and would have cut his expenditures to $10,000 per month (😱) and shortly afterwards that he'd get an expensive divorce from Ivana. I had no idea what Trump really did for a living.

Then I lost track of him. I learned how mich of a thing "The Apprentice" was after Trump had announced to run for president and media wouldn't stop gushing the triple lie. It didn't take long to find out that he was not self-made or a businessman or even an actual billionaire.

After I joined Twitter in September 2016, I found the information about his mafia ties, and things started to make sense.

I certainly left Twitter after Musik had taken over.

Now it's time for the US to come clean with its history, short-term (last ten years) and long-term (declaration of independence).

Sorry to hear you've been exposed to this brain-rot for so long.

Poor guy. Had to live on only $120K at some point 35-ish years ago? No wonder he's so angry all the time. No one should have to go through that. /s

No, he's not anything of the great things he claims to be, and worse, he's not a *good* person.

I don't keep pointing to this all because of Trump. By now everyone simply has to have recognized who he is but rather to point to the difference between what media will report on him and the truth. And it's become worse since 2015.

Yes I also feel if he’s not removed soon we could lose Our Democracy ASAP.

DJT is destroying our White House, our Country, has Divided Americans all for himself to stay in Power whatever He’s done to threaten GOP to stay in POWER or tell them he will cheat to stay Republican as long as he can. It’s PUTIN & ORBAN PLAYBOOK ORBAN visited DJT 4 times before election. You know they knew it was being rigged for Trump. To many piece were in place now he’s destroying America globally & inside. Will he use Elons hacker? Suing to get voter information from states why? Is he setting a deal with Putin to interfere in midterms?

The easiest would be to impeach DJT & VANCE BEFORE MIDTERMS. THEN REMOVE MAGA MIKE. Jefferies SH There must be away to remove Corrupt President and VP FROM OFFICE FOR THEIR CRIME AGAINST AMERICA. Republicans will be held accountable.

A strange dream came to me about a new President, VP & AG. Newsom P, VP MAYOR PETE AND AG WAS HARRIS!! Now I can only pray she should go after everyone of these Corrupt politicians and their enablers. Must be my hope.

Remove all DJT JUSTICES. PUT LAW & ORDER BACK IN PLACE AT SCOTUS DJT can be held accountable for his crime against humanity as well as Holman. Am I dreaming yes. Damn it we’re going backwards why are we not PROTESTING BOYCOTTING THESE CORRUPT COMPANIES, GAS, GROCERY STORE HOME DEPOT OWNER DJT FRIEND, GAS, also WHATEVER MEDIA ARE BACKING THIS CORRUPT ADMIN WHY? THIS ADMIN MUST BE STOPPED HELD ACCOUNTABLE. FOR GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN. DO YOU KNOW EVERY SHUT HAS BEEN ON REPUBLICANS AND HAS CAUSED OUT GLOBAL CREDIT AND CREDIBILITY TO DROP AS WELL AS STOCKTON MARKET TO DROP ALL ON REPUBLICANS. THIS IS TIME DEMOCRATS MUST STAND FRIM AGAINST BAILING REPUBLICANS OUT.

Do you agree? Why no Protesting? Are people just numb to WH Sickening Rhetoric? Are people waiting for someone to save USA? I am angry, disappointed in Americans who voted for this chaos that DJT thrives on.

Totally agree. It's horrifying and disgusting. I don't understand what it is about a lot of republiCRAPS. I believe many are "in the middle" or lean "on the edge" toward democrat views/beliefs. (Like freedom in general!) To me, there just HAS to be more of them than there are Dump supporters. You'd think that at least THEY would realize what's at stake and DO something about it.

I can't understand why so many are under Pedo Don's influence and complicit in his actions. There are so many layers to what's going on in our country: (1) Trump & his loyalists with business interests, (2) Vance & his tech bros, (3) the theocrats & Heritage Foundation. It's going to be up to we, the People, to take back our country and restore the rule of law.

Boycott Disney

Hurrah! A targeted boycott that worked. A good first step. But if you start boycotting all the corporations that are enabling the fascist takeover of the country, soon you’re at a general spending strike, which is a good thing. Let’s do it!

We, the People, can’t easily or safely withhold our tax dollars that are allowing this corrupt government to function. Our tax dollars fund the fascist takeover.

But as consumers we can indirectly withhold our tax dollars. Consumer spending is about 70% of the economy. That spending ends up as tax dollars. Stop unnecessary spending and the money funding the fascist takeover will disappear.

Uh oh…RFK jr and Trump are not saying this:

They are effectively blaming women who took Tylenol during pregnancy.

BUT

Increased risk: Studies have shown a significant association between advanced paternal age of sperm(e.g., over 40) and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder in offspring.

Contribution to Down syndrome:

Chromosome abnormalities: While less frequently discussed than autism, increased paternal age is also linked to an increased frequency of chromosome abnormalities in sperm.

Baron is on the spectrum due to Pedo Don's advanced age so he's placing that blame somewhere else

I can't stomach Trump or his wife, but with nothing official (to my knowledge) released about Baron being on the spectrum, stating so is unfounded and unkind. And, frankly, none of our business.

Also, studies were underway to evaluate chronic exposure to industrial chemicals, such as toluene, by parents working around them, with incidence of autism. Some promising results obtained and published but one of the first things Bobby did was to pull the plug on the follow up study being done and fire the scientists doing it. How does that make any sense?

I took Tylenol when pregnant with my son, and he is a genius. Of my friends who also had a Tylenol or two while pregnant, none had Autistic children. It's only a few data points, but since that's all you need these days, feel free to tell folks that there is evidence that taking Tylenol while pregnant can result in normal children and occasional geniuses.

Trump is failing, his polling is in the sewer, and the best he can do is cling to some rando dead man in the hopes of restoring the glory he never really had. He knows he’s going to lose the midterms, he knows he will die in prison. He is not strong. Never forget that.
