No Lame Duck

Behind the Curtain: Trump, alone

from Axios

“Trump, a top adviser emphasized, is no lame duck: "Discount Trump at your peril."

• "He wields enormous power in the party, in politics and culturally," the adviser said. "Anyone who thinks he's going to retreat into the shadows is either stupid or has bad political instincts."

The bottom line: Trump insiders calculate they lived by Trump and so will die by Trump, rather than break with Trump.

• "He's going to remain the dominant political figure even after his term ends," the adviser said. "And everybody knows it."”

From The Peaceful Solution:

Those of us in The Resistance must think beyond the midterms, about how to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of the country.

Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending. Stop the fascist takeover.

Probably crypto, which he thinks is cash

Yes, and it's illegal.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Right. He doesn't give a fuck though. He has absolute immunity. He is taking full advantage and committing crimes in plain sight for all of us to see.

AI is going to kill us all? Yes, it was predictable. These oligarchs don't care about us. It's just all about money, money, money and more money! Hang them all!

I won’t name names but there are a while lot of Republicans in this article who can just go FUCK OFF! ! !

But seriously, this whole Middle East fiasco, and the jump in gas and food prices, is all on Donald J. Trump. Things were rolling along rather smoothly until he decided he had to show Iran how tough he was and start this stupid war. Now things get worse day-by-day and he has no solution. Zero, zip, nada. And his Republican lemmings just sit there and don’t do a thing about it. I just hope the people in this country wake up and vote them all out in November. Then someone can start holding these people accountable. Right now it’s just chaos led by an old, demented, psychotic man who lies to us everyday and expects us to buy his BS.

Yes, Fred! They can fuck the fuck off! 🖕

Congrats to Luke, being relentless with Homan and that's the way all reporters should be. Don't let these bastards off when they digress. Which is what they learn to do in Government 101.

Over 800 injured or killed and the man plays golf!

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

I am sure the numbers of lives list are much higher, and those severely injured are much higher. When will the truth reveal just how criminal and currupt these vile , morons are

Prison for all

"The payments likely violate federal law".

How quaint.

Lynda Willis's avatar

Headlines on AI taking out humanity but nobody explains how in language people understand and that can be analyzed. What exactly do they expect to happen? How would it happen? How would humanity go extinct? Or even be taken over. What would the world look like?

Good question!!

All the news is unfit to print, to paraphrase the Gray Lady…

Thank god for Meidas. Ben and team, your competence and diligence is greatly appreciated.

Jon Stolley's avatar

Being in this country illegally with no criminal record is a civil crime, not a violation of the criminal code. Tom Homan is such a liar , along with ICE.

I'm so glad that he's having a bad day

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Now if he would drop dead, we would have a great day.

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

Yes yes yes

We are praying for that every day for almost 2 years

Today would be a fantastic day

"Trump Gave Aides $45,000 Cash Gifts................

New financial disclosures show Trump personally handed out 45,000 dollars in cash gifts to three young female aides, Natalie Harp, Margo Martin and Chamberlain Harris, each amount equal to nearly a third of their salaries. A former Bush ethics lawyer says the payments likely violate federal law. "

News reports say it was personal money of DJT and not tax money. Of course, these useless workers are paid large salaries with tax money.

I note also that when any gift in excess of $17,000 is made, the donor (the person who give the gift) owes something called "gift tax" which I suppose is noted on the annual tax return for the year in which the gift was given. The donor must file a schedule 709 form.

The donee (the person who gets the gift) does not pay tax on it.

JPoo's avatar

I guess we’ll never know if he claims it or not

Dennis W.'s avatar

I really don't think we have much time to somehow get rid of DJT and his regime; I think our allies and non-allies will not wait, if you will. 🤔😱

With crude going over $100, it might soon be time for trump to go short and then announce another ceasefire.

A flipping mess … but anything tramp touches is a mess. All could have been avoided if rapeublican leaders had done their job. Now they can be first to the line- cannon fodder.
