… The theme of the day was MAGA backlash against three of Trump’s latest policy announcements - admission of 600,000 students from China, his flag burning order, and govt taking an ownership stake in private businesses.
The way I see it, the invasion of one state by another is a call to arms. I see an armed clash of National Guards. Also, the gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook. The old rules have been struck down by the Supreme Court. We need to change the gears here as fast as possible for deadly preemptive strikes. Newsom has moved out on this already. Who is next? Hochul. Where are you? Pritzker. What are you doing?
Pritzker has talked about redistricting, but admits there isn't much opportunity in Illinois as most districts are already D. He did give a pretty fiery speech yesterday about Trump sending the National Guard to Chicago.
Those districts are largely rural and take up most of the physical area of the state. They are sparsely populated in comparison to the metro Chicago area. You think things are gerrymandered now? The districts would end up looking like an octopus' tentacles. LOL
I’ve think that same thing forever the ones who so love the flags are decimating the flag with that ugly face on it. I have one in my neighborhood and I puke every time I see it. I wanna go to the house and punch the guy in the face, but I’m not a violent person egads this country I love is in the outhouse I’m so ashamed of what trump has done to her he’s the rapist and fraud but yet he condemns and uses people like the military and police officers to run American citizens out and throw them in El Salvador prison when he’s the one that should be in there holy God the oxymoron going on in this country is incredible. Wake me up when it’s over.
The nut bag here , signs all over his house ,car, flags, etc. More than ones says, if you are still a Democrat you are a pedophile. He is disruptive and crazy . Drives around screaming thru a bullhorn.
OMG! That's really crazy! They're everywhere. There's a house in town my daughter drove me by that's painted all over kind of like you describe. I feel for the neighbors.
A guest on Shrinking Trump a few weeks ago said he takes down the address of houses with Trump flags and writes them an anonymous letter. I think the theme in his situation was asking them how the girls in the neighborhood would feel about them supporting an adjuticated sex offender and Jeffrey Epstein friend. It seems like you could use the idea for your purpose. Maybe include the flag code.
The same ones like the neighbor with a giant red "MAGA COUNTRY" flag attached to his pickup bed along with a rotating assortment of other offensive slogans. He drives around town looking like a nut case with all kinds of weird graffiti painted on every surface and window of the truck. Skeery folk!
Trump certainly would not last one day in the CECOT prison in El Salvador. In fact, I don't think he'd last a day in the cushiest of prison camps in the US.
It’s also against the Code of the Flag. Most of the things people are doing with flags these days violate the code. I’m old, and don’t know how to share it, but it’s in my copy of the U. S. Constitution, along with the Declaration of Independence.
Yeah, the same freak noted above (across the street from me) has a flag glued across the hood of his Trumped-out pickup and I looked it up to see that is specifically against the U.S. Flag Code. Ignorant is as ignorant does.
Especially paragraph 4: 4 U.S. Code § 3 - Use of flag for advertising purposes; mutilation of flag
Putting a picture of trump on the flag counts as mutilation of the flag.
Do a web search for "flag with trump face" and you will find plenty of flags that would be suitable for burning since they do not meet the restrictions of use of the US Flag. But, you should not do it since you would have pay for them and I do not want to enrich these sellers.
All so true. Id love to see one of them stand up and tell the truth. Say , Trump, you are wrong about everything. Your policies are insane. You are destroying all normalcy in America. The majority of people hate you. Here and around the world. It looks like a whorehouse in the Oval office . You lie too much. Cheat. Steal. Make no sense. Terrorists invented by you, attacking our citizens. You bully and insult everyone, and cant take criticism or responsibility. Last. You stink. This room stinks. Bigly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Oooh Ramona.....😂. I wrote they should put "Take your head out of Trump's ass" on t-shirts like that man from Missouri yesterday but now I think "thank you for your attention to this matter" should be added with it. LOL. I dare Bezos to sell them on Amazon!
To what reputation are you referring? There is not one of those cabinet secretaries with any reputation to damage. They are all incompetents who got put into their positions by being suckholes to Trump.
You recently said you were surprised at how much we all missed you Ron, when you were on vacation because you have to dish out so much “bad” news daily. But it is sprinkled with your fabulous humor, just the right amount, which makes a huge difference. Really appreciating you even more since you returned, but glad you are still taking some breaks - especially to see your children!!!!
Trump, Miller, and Noem are all lying about the restaurants in DC closing because people fear for their safety. They are reporting decreased reservations because people don't feel safe with all the gun carrying military o the streets. I love that Chef Jose Andres spoke up and called them out on their lies. Imagine Trump living in DC all these years and never eating out once. What a loser.
trump wouldn't know fine food if it jumped off the plate and slapped him in the face. French cooking is "foreign food" to him, and don't even get me started on ethnic foods.
He lost me when I learned he liked well-done steak with ketchup! Gag, I would choose not to have the steak if that was the only way I could have it. He has the worst taste in all categories. Decorating, please! Cheap faux gold crap everywhere. His palate is akin to some demon-possessed entity searching the trash dump for something, anything to consume. His state of dress is simply abysmal. He could have someone tailor his suits and do better. Add in his personality, and he is one of the most repulsive people I've ever been unfortunate enough to know about.
To each their own. My sister and another dear friend only eat well done steak with ketchup and there is a lot of food I wouldn't touch. I despise him, but his "palate" is the least of our problems.
Some have been interviewed on MSNBC contradicting his lies. Like one bar owner said since a Humvee has been parked near or in front of his establishment it tends to discourage customers.
We were vacationing in Dominican Republic in 1984. My husband won the trip through work. There were riots in Santa Domingo over food prices,(?) I think. Armed military were placed in the Gulf Western owned resort. It was disconcerting and a bit scary to see these men, who never smiled, walking around with weapons of war. I wouldn't venture out in DC either with armed and masked military, especially knowing many are maga cult members and will tackle you to the ground, smash your face into the pavement for the "crime" of eating in public.
trump is quickly destroying our country. I get daily notifications from international small businesses that they will no longer be selling/shipping to the US. Why this isn't a screaming headline in the msm, or even here at MT, is beyond comprehension. It's death by a thousand cuts yet it's "just Tuesday" for our national press. I know there is a lot to cover but seems some trivial item about a celebrity could be pulled to make "room" for this.
I was a collector and used to be a huge eBay buyer for 20 years...especially from Europe and Canada. I have friends who are sellers and dealers there too. This will kill their businesses. He is destroying us.
NEVER trust a man who hates animals. I watch and follow that podcast and substack with the 2 Southern women that I love and now can't think of the name but they call him "Canks" and "Tittybaby".
In my lifetime we went from JFK and Jackie Kennedy to Juan and Evita Peron. A Dictator and " First Hooker".
OMG. A shooting in Minneapolis at a Catholic School. 2 children dead. 17 injured. Let's see them.try to spin this and their 2nd Amendment rights. Of course JD Vance said "we're.monitoring this at the WH and praying". I am sick to my stomach.
Your sentiments are so heartfelt as I'm waking up every day in a state of despair, dreading the day's next disturbing news like this morning with children being killed while at Catholic Mass. These are the real victims of the pervasive violence permeating our society while Cabinet members compete drooling over the dictator and military are picking up trash in our occupied national capital. The madness grows worse. I was in Mexico a few years ago when squads of military marched through the streets in the dead of night and also were present at the airport when I left, thinking at the time how glad I was to be coming home to the safety and protection of our Bill of Rights. So much for that. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Thank you Lisa Cook: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
So MAGA’s pissed, huh? This could get interesting. MAGA doesn’t do irony, and MAGA has guns, and MAGA likes to threaten violence at the drop of a hat. Hold that thought. The dictator’s cabinet just spent the better part of the day kissing the ass of a madman. If there was any doubt he’s not insane, today should have put that to rest. This cabinet holds the key to removing him from office because it’s clear he’s lost the ability to think straight, but it won’t. Ever. So back to MAGA and their guns and irony. MAGA, which put him in office, which up to now, pre-Epstein, pre-tariffs, pre-flag burning, pre-Chinese students backed him to the hilt, is starting to boil. And it’s entirely possible, if one of them gets pissed enough, takes matters into his own hands and does violently what the cabinet should be doing legally and peacefully. At that point I think we could say that MAGA does indeed do irony.
Did you know that "Coward Buttlick" (as I heard Anthony Scaramucci on a podcast last week call him) lived next door to Epstein's house in NYC? I'm sure he knows plenty.
I call him Howeird Nutlick, but he is definitely no innocent. Anyone around him that close is no accident. Keeping him close, because his enemies are many
"a builder who loves labor, who loves the men and women who built this country, the people who sweat. You know them very well because you worked with them - all those great Trump projects". WTAF? This is the guy who drove numerous contractors out of business or to the brink, by refusing to pay them for work they did on Trump Tower and his casinos. Yeah, they were sweating alright, wondering if they would ever be able to make payroll again, including for themselves.
hi, the reason he’s letting 600,000 Chinese students to come into this country is both the $5 billion that they’re gonna spend in higher education cause they’re gonna pay the full rate and two he’s probably gonna find some way to charge him $15,000 to come into this country for a legal visa I wouldn’t be surprised if it was handled by the Trump travel agency for which he might get a 50% cut or some other stupid grift and he’s gonna claim that this is a victory for America
I also was thinking there must be a financial Trump angle in the 600k Chinese students. I bet he is gonna run a scam where Chinese buy his dumb vapor coin, and Trump gets them into the university of their choice.
I laugh at Scott Bessent because he knows better than the lies he tells. The irony is that he would neither have a husband nor his adopted children if it were up to the Republican Party he supports. It vote both gay marriage and the ability of gays to adopt.
I just read today in WAPO or someplace about the openly out gays in Trump's regime to the point that the single.women are having a hard time meeting guys in DC. You do know that the gay hook up app GRINDR crashed twice during the RNC convention? Ric Grenell that phony Christian hypocrite is gay and married. So is Peter Thiel of Planatir, who bought JD Vance his Senate seat and.the VP seat and sued the old,.fantastic GAWKER.website years ago for "outing" him (and I have family and many gay friends and I still think that is a personal choice) but he is another phony Christian hypocrite white Nazi who is a naturalized citizen who is married (got.married in Europe) and has children born by surrogates.
To those who t/rump said prefer a dictator for reasons of safety. Benjamin Franklin once wrote something about those who surrendered precious liberty for safety, DESERVE NEITHER. I might also add the people of East Germany, back in the day, enjoyed a low rate of crime. They enjoyed this status so much, they risked their lives to escape over the Berlin Wall. Per usual the moron t/rump shows a complete ignorance concerning everything about the ideals of this country.
He is so full of shit ,everytime he opens his mouth some spills out. He thinks he is so smart by saying some people want X Y OR z. Or they said, or a large man with tears in his eyes calling him sir said. ALL BS. projection for What he is going to do. Or what HE WANTS. He would be a terrible poker player. He has more tells than a child lying.
All the idiocy that is there to print to paraphrase Walter Cronkite. 600,000 Chinese students admitted to US Colleges. That means 600,000 US students denied seats. Trump is deeply insane. Just one of these events would have had a past President up before Congress.
Students aren't denied seats. They are not given the opportunity to get a seat at the university of their dream choice. That's the difference. There are almost 20,000,000 available seats in US colleges and universities. Fewer than 4 million seniors graduate from HS each year. It's about money.
If the seat you want is taken by a Trump selectee, then your seat is gone. In reality there are only x number of entries per class. This is horrific. These seats must be available on merit only from any applicant American or globally not just 600,000 granted by Trump to China. Plus, his remarks about China being "the smartest" is an insult to our Country.
“You talked about abuses in the Medicare and Medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the Medicaid system for $1.3 billion.”
Rick Scott was the $1.7 billion Medicare-Medicaid fraudster who got off basically resigning as CEO of his criminal syndicate. I believe Philip Esformes is the $1.3 billion Florida Medicaid-Medicare fraudster sentenced to 20 years whom DT pardoned in 2020. The most recent clemency DT granted on May 28, 2025 was for Lawrence Duran, sentenced to 50 years for $87 million Medicare mental health fraudulent charges. Geez, wonder who else might be responsible for all the waste, fraud, and abuse perpetrated on the American tax-payers?
Rick Scott was the worst Governor that Florida has ever had! As a 41.7 year State of Florida worker, no raises under him. Asshole son of a bitchin' thief!!!
Richest man in the Senate and Florida keeps electing him as he pontificates about Medicare-Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse to cut social services to the most needy, aged, indigent, and disabled among us. Broligarch career white-collar criminals are in control of our government and our future.
Sean Duffy: “Mr. President, it is pretty great to celebrate Labor Day with a builder who loves labor, who loves the men and women who built this country, the people who sweat. You know them very well because you worked with them - all those great Trump projects.”
No, he remembers them well because he stiffed them and didn't pay his bills. A lot of them were the very immigrants he's persecuting daily. He's trying to erase our history of enslaving people so he can reinstate slavery and claim it was a genius idea to honor "people who sweat" for which he deserves the Nobel Peace prize.
Yes, I read that story this morning and still have chills running down my spine. It's a terrifying wholesale theft of all our most sacred data as U.S. citizens just up for grabs and the highest bidder out there in the ethernet.
IMHO, desecrating Americans flags by superimposing Trump's face on it is worse than burning one.
The entire Trump administration is so STUPID that they don’t know the proper way to dispose of a damaged flag is to burn it.
Very few Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts in that crew.
Since you mention it who else has done more to damage our flag than the WH goons?
This right here!👆👆👆👆👆🎯💯
The way I see it, the invasion of one state by another is a call to arms. I see an armed clash of National Guards. Also, the gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook.

Pritzker has talked about redistricting, but admits there isn't much opportunity in Illinois as most districts are already D. He did give a pretty fiery speech yesterday about Trump sending the National Guard to Chicago.
I just checked Illinois only sends 3 Republicans to the House
14 seats are already Democrat
Dilute those 3 districts then.
Those districts are largely rural and take up most of the physical area of the state. They are sparsely populated in comparison to the metro Chicago area. You think things are gerrymandered now? The districts would end up looking like an octopus' tentacles. LOL
Did you not see Pritzker yesterday?
It was epic!
Inform yourself ... Pritzker has done a lot.
I’ve think that same thing forever the ones who so love the flags are decimating the flag with that ugly face on it. I have one in my neighborhood and I puke every time I see it.

Wake me up when it’s over.
I have one of "those" freaks living across the street from me! Makes me sick!
Maybe Newsom can sell a flag with his face on it and you can troll ur neighbor😉😅🤣😂 I'd pay to see their reaction.
Great idea, but he's goofy enough he might bring out weapons! He has a DT "Chosen By God" yard sign and another "Recall Newsom Save California."
Sounds like you need to steer clear of him. Stay safe 💛
Believe you me, I do indeed. Makes me sad he's a veteran too, just like me, but our ideologies are in complete opposition. I lay low.
The nut bag here , signs all over his house ,car, flags, etc. More than ones says, if you are still a Democrat you are a pedophile. He is disruptive and crazy . Drives around screaming thru a bullhorn.

It seems like you could use the idea for your purpose. Maybe include the flag code.
Love this idea, I have many I can write to 🙏🏻
I want to figure out appropriate polite wording for neighbors with a Christian flag, an unknown flag and a Trump Won flag. Such hypocrisy!
The same ones like the neighbor with a giant red "MAGA COUNTRY" flag attached to his pickup bed along with a rotating assortment of other offensive slogans. He drives around town looking like a nut case with all kinds of weird graffiti painted on every surface and window of the truck. Skeery folk!
Trump certainly would not last one day in the CECOT prison in El Salvador. In fact, I don't think he'd last a day in the cushiest of prison camps in the US.
It’s also against the Code of the Flag. Most of the things people are doing with flags these days violate the code. I’m old, and don’t know how to share it, but it’s in my copy of the U. S. Constitution, along with the Declaration of Independence.

Not least wearing them them. Check any NASCAR crowd.
The American Legion has a good summary of the US flag code:
https://www.legion.org/advocacy/flag-advocacy/flag-code
For details see US Code Title 4, Chapter 1: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/1
Especially paragraph 4: 4 U.S. Code § 3 - Use of flag for advertising purposes; mutilation of flag
Putting a picture of trump on the flag counts as mutilation of the flag.
Do a web search for "flag with trump face" and you will find plenty of flags that would be suitable for burning since they do not meet the restrictions of use of the US Flag. But, you should not do it since you would have pay for them and I do not want to enrich these sellers.
There's no flag code in either the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence (which was written before the U.S. or its flag existed).
It’s in the booklet containing the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Code of the Flag. I’m sorry if I misstated the information.
Those are the ones that should be burned.
also illegal
TOTALLY, Diane!!!
As far as the cabinet meeting goes, where’s the vomit button?
Seriously. Beyond that, it's like North Korean level bizarre propaganda. There aren't enough words to describe the blatant lies.
How do they go home and look their kids in the eye or face into a mirror? Maybe at this point they have no reflection.
I think about that all the time. We're at Hitler, Third Reich level.
I am glad that I live by different values and love of humanity
All so true. Id love to see one of them stand up and tell the truth. Say , Trump, you are wrong about everything. Your policies are insane. You are destroying all normalcy in America. The majority of people hate you. Here and around the world. It looks like a whorehouse in the Oval office . You lie too much. Cheat. Steal. Make no sense. Terrorists invented by you, attacking our citizens. You bully and insult everyone, and cant take criticism or responsibility. Last. You stink. This room stinks. Bigly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Great logo for a t-shirt or hat, "TRUMP WAS WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING".
You pretty much covered in truth all that matters!
Brava! 🙏😂
Wouldn't you love to hear this! Lol 😆 😆
Oooh Ramona.....😂. I wrote they should put "Take your head out of Trump's ass" on t-shirts like that man from Missouri yesterday but now I think "thank you for your attention to this matter" should be added with it. LOL. I dare Bezos to sell them on Amazon!
I think so too Rita.
Dear Leader territory
No kidding. Revolting is too kind a label. 🤮
Clown show
I wonder how much Trump is paying these clowns to praise him on national tv and ruin their reputations?
To what reputation are you referring? There is not one of those cabinet secretaries with any reputation to damage. They are all incompetents who got put into their positions by being suckholes to Trump.
So, they ARE holding up their reputations. Of being losers and kiss ass enablers to a dictator . Who can't do anything right. ✌️
Don’t know where the vomit button is, but they sure hit the North Korea button!!😱
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
All the bathrooms in the building were filled with people vigorously brushing their teeth after that.
I guess this is the access the press wanted 🤷? I wonder when anyone works, but maybe it’s better that they don’t because they’ll just fuck it up more.
I think the Kool-aid was over spiked! 🤪
That is exactly what I thought
At least there’s the vomit emoji! 🤮
You recently said you were surprised at how much we all missed you Ron, when you were on vacation because you have to dish out so much “bad” news daily. But it is sprinkled with your fabulous humor, just the right amount, which makes a huge difference. Really appreciating you even more since you returned, but glad you are still taking some breaks - especially to see your children!!!!
You nailed it!
Can’t we program AI to do the bulletin while you’re gone? Kidding
Trump, Miller, and Noem are all lying about the restaurants in DC closing because people fear for their safety. They are reporting decreased reservations because people don't feel safe with all the gun carrying military o the streets. I love that Chef Jose Andres spoke up and called them out on their lies. Imagine Trump living in DC all these years and never eating out once. What a loser.
And since Tom Cotton is all in on the occupation, let's send troops to Arkansas.
He has always been afraid that restaurant workers will spit on his food in the kitchen before they serve him.
That is why he likes fast food drive up windows, you are not identified when you order through the intercom.
trump wouldn't know fine food if it jumped off the plate and slapped him in the face. French cooking is "foreign food" to him, and don't even get me started on ethnic foods.
If it isn't on a McDonald's menu Trump doesn't know what it is
He lost me when I learned he liked well-done steak with ketchup! Gag, I would choose not to have the steak if that was the only way I could have it. He has the worst taste in all categories.

Bet Melania never cooked him a Slovenian dish, either. At least, not the food kind.
Melanoma , cook ? Seriously.
Trust me on this. The kitchen is not Melania's "best" room. She got an "Epstein" visa, not an "Einstein" visa.
Hilarious 😂
I've miss you 😂
Ditto. Sister.
Yes where’s the DC restaurant association? It would be great to hear from them! Combat the lies.
Some have been interviewed on MSNBC contradicting his lies. Like one bar owner said since a Humvee has been parked near or in front of his establishment it tends to discourage customers.
They passed a law that is supposed to help Atlantic City air quality . No smoking ,outside. Have to go into a casino to smoke.
OK. How does that help air quality for patrons inside of a building. ???.
AC is next to crash on tourism.
Makes no sense.
I have seen several reports that state the decline in reservations since the occupation. Would guess they will continue to report intermittently.
We were vacationing in Dominican Republic in 1984. My husband won the trip through work. There were riots in Santa Domingo over food prices,(?) I think. Armed military were placed in the Gulf Western owned resort. It was disconcerting and a bit scary to see these men, who never smiled, walking around with weapons of war.

Just wait til those of you getting your drugs shipped from Canada are hit with the $45-200 tariffs since the de minimis rule ends on the 29th.
I was a collector and used to be a huge eBay buyer for 20 years...especially from Europe and Canada. I have friends who are sellers and dealers there too. This will kill their businesses. He is destroying us.
He wants us all to be miserable, sad and scared. No fun is to be had with him around. No art, comedy, movies, sports, unless violence is involved.
Hates animals . He is a narcissistic ghoul of a man baby
NEVER trust a man who hates animals. I watch and follow that podcast and substack with the 2 Southern women that I love and now can't think of the name but they call him "Canks" and "Tittybaby".
In my lifetime we went from JFK and Jackie Kennedy to Juan and Evita Peron. A Dictator and " First Hooker".

That's horrible. Offer them thoughts and prayers, again. What evil 😈 . This is where we are thanks to Don the felon and his cast of haters. WTF
It's all a concerted attack on the five pillars of society: media, law, universities, science, and the arts.

You're trying to make me happy!
I'll admit. I smiled through most of it. Just the visual was quite good. Thanks John
Rita, shame on you 🫢
I plan to get the tee shirt that says "Is he dead yet?"
😂 Now you can get one "Take your head out of Trump's ass". Let's see Etsy and Amazon sell those!
Id buy one in a second
"...if one of them get's pissed enough..." SAD!
thank you for your attention to this matter.
what's howie nutlick know about epstein?
there is an unintended upside to his cabinet mtg... they had to sit through 3.5 hours of his gaseousness. glee abounds!!!!!
Did you know that "Coward Buttlick" (as I heard Anthony Scaramucci on a podcast last week call him) lived next door to Epstein's house in NYC? I'm sure he knows plenty.
I call him Howeird Nutlick, but he is definitely no innocent. Anyone around him that close is no accident. Keeping him close, because his enemies are many
Yes, another J6 but this time on this administration would indeed be sweet irony!!! 😂🙏🤩🥳
Irony? Irony? They can't even spell it!
My relevant fave from a Bluesky post last night: "I hope it's on live TV!"

"a builder who loves labor, who loves the men and women who built this country, the people who sweat. You know them very well because you worked with them - all those great Trump projects". WTAF? This is the guy who drove numerous contractors out of business or to the brink, by refusing to pay them for work they did on Trump Tower and his casinos. Yeah, they were sweating alright, wondering if they would ever be able to make payroll again, including for themselves.
And some to suicide 😭 😡
hi, the reason he’s letting 600,000 Chinese students to come into this country is both the $5 billion that they’re gonna spend in higher education cause they’re gonna pay the full rate and two he’s probably gonna find some way to charge him $15,000 to come into this country for a legal visa I wouldn’t be surprised if it was handled by the Trump travel agency for which he might get a 50% cut or some other stupid grift and he’s gonna claim that this is a victory for America
🎯 With this guy, always follow the money. He's all about the grift, the whole grift and nothing but the grift, so help me God 🙄
He'll be charging them for a "trump visa" in order to go to college here - it'll go right into his pocket.
I also was thinking there must be a financial Trump angle in the 600k Chinese students. I bet he is gonna run a scam where Chinese buy his dumb vapor coin, and Trump gets them into the university of their choice.
The number of students is less than half that.
I laugh at Scott Bessent because he knows better than the lies he tells. The irony is that he would neither have a husband nor his adopted children if it were up to the Republican Party he supports. It vote both gay marriage and the ability of gays to adopt.
I can’t believe his husband would have any respect for him! The lack of resist can destroy a marriage fast!
Meant to say lack of respect
I just read today in WAPO or someplace about the openly out gays in Trump's regime to the point that the single.women are having a hard time meeting guys in DC. You do know that the gay hook up app GRINDR crashed twice during the RNC convention? Ric Grenell that phony Christian hypocrite is gay and married. So is Peter Thiel of Planatir, who bought JD Vance his Senate seat and.the VP seat and sued the old,.fantastic GAWKER.website years ago for "outing" him (and I have family and many gay friends and I still think that is a personal choice) but he is another phony Christian hypocrite white Nazi who is a naturalized citizen who is married (got.married in Europe) and has children born by surrogates.
They are above the bullshit they peddle every day.
To those who t/rump said prefer a dictator for reasons of safety. Benjamin Franklin once wrote something about those who surrendered precious liberty for safety, DESERVE NEITHER. I might also add the people of East Germany, back in the day, enjoyed a low rate of crime. They enjoyed this status so much, they risked their lives to escape over the Berlin Wall. Per usual the moron t/rump shows a complete ignorance concerning everything about the ideals of this country.
He is so full of shit ,everytime he opens his mouth some spills out. He thinks he is so smart by saying some people want X Y OR z. Or they said, or a large man with tears in his eyes calling him sir said. ALL BS. projection for What he is going to do. Or what HE WANTS. He would be a terrible poker player. He has more tells than a child lying.
All the idiocy that is there to print to paraphrase Walter Cronkite. 600,000 Chinese students admitted to US Colleges. That means 600,000 US students denied seats. Trump is deeply insane. Just one of these events would have had a past President up before Congress.
Students aren't denied seats. They are not given the opportunity to get a seat at the university of their dream choice. That's the difference. There are almost 20,000,000 available seats in US colleges and universities. Fewer than 4 million seniors graduate from HS each year. It's about money.
If the seat you want is taken by a Trump selectee, then your seat is gone. In reality there are only x number of entries per class. This is horrific. These seats must be available on merit only from any applicant American or globally not just 600,000 granted by Trump to China. Plus, his remarks about China being "the smartest" is an insult to our Country.
As shameful as it is to admit, Senator Tom Cotton is from Arkansas not Kentucky. And we are doing our best to vote that sorry piece of crap out.
Kentucky's Senators are bad all by themselves, thanks. Arkansas can keep Tom Cotton.
“You talked about abuses in the Medicare and Medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the Medicaid system for $1.3 billion.”
Rick Scott?
Rick Scott was the $1.7 billion Medicare-Medicaid fraudster who got off basically resigning as CEO of his criminal syndicate. I believe Philip Esformes is the $1.3 billion Florida Medicaid-Medicare fraudster sentenced to 20 years whom DT pardoned in 2020. The most recent clemency DT granted on May 28, 2025 was for Lawrence Duran, sentenced to 50 years for $87 million Medicare mental health fraudulent charges. Geez, wonder who else might be responsible for all the waste, fraud, and abuse perpetrated on the American tax-payers?
Rick Scott was the worst Governor that Florida has ever had! As a 41.7 year State of Florida worker, no raises under him. Asshole son of a bitchin' thief!!!
Richest man in the Senate and Florida keeps electing him as he pontificates about Medicare-Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse to cut social services to the most needy, aged, indigent, and disabled among us. Broligarch career white-collar criminals are in control of our government and our future.
He ditched our high speed rail system too which would have been a huge boost to the Florida economy! POS!
Seriously, I'm feeling like I'm in the Upside Down 🙃
Sean Duffy: “Mr. President, it is pretty great to celebrate Labor Day with a builder who loves labor, who loves the men and women who built this country, the people who sweat. You know them very well because you worked with them - all those great Trump projects.”
No, he remembers them well because he stiffed them and didn't pay his bills. A lot of them were the very immigrants he's persecuting daily. He's trying to erase our history of enslaving people so he can reinstate slavery and claim it was a genius idea to honor "people who sweat" for which he deserves the Nobel Peace prize.
Truly a very Twisted human and the only human to truly disgrace the Oval Office to this level
Whistleblower says DOGE put Social Security numbers at risk

Yes, I read that story this morning and still have chills running down my spine. It's a terrifying wholesale theft of all our most sacred data as U.S. citizens just up for grabs and the highest bidder out there in the ethernet.
