We never forget that Trump is a liar. And this time he’s lying by omission.

Let’s just be real, the Jewish Nazi, Stephen Miller, is the one manipulating the trump website and the horrid policies he is enacting. Trump is merely being propped up, like in the “Bernie” movie. I prefer listening to Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift eviscerate these schmucks. Fascists and racists make up the 1% and we cannot allow them to take our country, our democracy away from us!

Bribe: to persuade someone to act in ones favor, typically illegally/dishonestly, by a gift of money/other inducement.

Corruption: dishonest/fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

Both definitions fit Trump taking that Quatari jet.

Now, the Congress has 3 choices:

1 - They can vote to accept the convicted felon's plane.

2 - They can begin impeachment proceedings for the bribe.

3 - They can crawl back under their rocks and ignore the bribe.

The last will be easy for Republicans because they lost their spines years ago!

Most corrupt administration in the history of the United States.

As Bruce Springsteen said: "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration."

I saw the best bumper sticker. This "Don't blame me, I voted for her" 👇

I read it will also cost US taxpayers over a billion to completely disassembe and reassemble (to make sure there aren't any bombs on board) and goldify it to Trump's taste.

Actually , the Media isn't covering he GENIUS Act, which would make it easier for U.S. companies to deal in a type of cryptocurrency known as stablecoin. After advocating for passage of the bill, the Trump family crypto company started issuing its own stablecoin and became one of the biggest issuers in the world. Although TMTG has been a loser, according to many sources like CBS News, the Trump family's net worth has increased by $2.9 billion in the last six months, largely due to cryptocurrency investments and ventures like the $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins, and a stake in the World Liberty Financial crypto exchange

Through "diplomacy" Trump resorts are springing up in places like Oman, Saudi Arabia, Serbia...even Viet Nam. When I was there it was at the Iron, not a Golden triangle.

Please read Jerry Weiss' Feathers of hope. https://jerryweiss.substack.com/

The committee was stacked. We only need a few Congressional Republicans to have shared government.

We need to encourage Don Bacon R. NE. and other Republicans who are standing up to Trump and MAGA Mike. He and Reps. David Valadao, R-Calif., Don Bacon, R-Neb., Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Rob Bresnahan Jr., R-Pa., Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., Jen Kiggans, R-Va., Young Kim, R-Calif., Robert Wittman, R-Va., Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., and Jeff Hurd, R-Colo signed a letter:

“Many hospitals — particularly in rural and underserved areas — rely heavily on Medicaid funding, with some receiving over half their revenue from the program alone,” the representatives wrote. “Providers in these areas are especially at risk of closure, with many unable to recover. When hospitals close, it affects all constituents, regardless of healthcare coverage.”

Besides the Medicaid issue, Republican Reps have called out Trump/Musk on national security and tariffs.

On MSNBC Saturday, Velshi asked Bacon about tariffs. He said, in essence, any Reagan Republican would remove Trump tariff authority. To do that, they need all of the House Dems.

Plus Bacon said Trump has a "moral blindscape" re Ukraine. Retired General. Russia is not a superpower. Mexico with nuclear weapons.

Says anyone who served has to oppose Hegseth, SIGNAL.

Says we are better than any other country in agriculture. Says Trump has broken free trade. In essence, we are losing the trade war.

In just 4 months he committed violations of market manipulation with insider trading, profiting and accepting gifts from foreign governments, arrests without due process, media censorship and all of the above crypto and RE transactions. Brazen corruption yet still in control of the levers of government. Vote out every politician who didn't stand against this insanity.

JD Vance and Pope Bob

“We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity. Our movement is Christian.” Adolph Hitler 1928

True to the propaganda the far right throws out there, Vance was in Rome to show his support for Christian ideology But Vance was there to advance politically his own type of Christian philosophy, that of the fascist Christian Nationalist(CN) movement supported by the Hungarian dictator Orban and promoted by the far right organization CPAC

But Pope Bob was completely aware of the PR stunt Vance was pulling, knowing full well of the CN policy of white supremacy and crimes against humanity The Pope had little time for the couch lover and Pope killer essentially giving him a fleeting glance while chatting it up with others in attendance of his inauguration Mass

Vance is a thirsty power mongering politician backed by billionaires who wants to carry the banner of the CN movement and “use the Pope” as a propaganda tool Pope Bob wasn’t having it

Everyone knows, or should know by now, Trump blinded by ego. The “gold”carpet treatment he received in each of these countries stroked that ego. His diplomatic skills are nil. He lives off the grift—give me money to build my hotels/golf courses, and I’ll look the other way as you suppress human rights and kill innocents. They all know his game and play it.

Deliberately omitting unflattering parts of an article when re-posting is SO Trump-ian. There’s more than one way to lie or to distort the truth. Trump has mastered multiple ways to deceive us! I’m glad we have Meidas to call him out on his deception.

Thanks, Betsy. I was only making a point that their double standard (he edits, ghost writes, and lies every time he opens his yap, but nobody else can edit for time). He sued CBS for 20 billion, but--you're right--it hasn't gone to court yet.

Trump has no problem with human rights violations. He has been committing them since he authorized ICE to abduct innocent people off the street and send them to El Salvador without due process. He fits right in with these middle eastern leaders. They only focus on making more money off the backs of the people they govern. They have no shame. Trump doesn't care that these countries are financing terrorist groups including the one that attacked the U.S. He's such a horrible human being and I can't wait until he's gone for good.
