By this logic, anyone receiving Social Security, Medicare, farm subsidies, tax credits, or government contracts should lose their vote too. Somehow “voting for your own financial interests” is only sinister when poor people do it.

"Kremlev, 43, is also involved in an org called Healthy Fatherland, run by his 23-year-old wife’s twin sister. The group — which promotes healthy eating & youth sports — is under Ukrainian sanctions for its alleged role in a program of abducting Ukrainian children and relocating them under the guise of “rehabilitation"
New: Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses at Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish wedding, including renting out a private island and paying for the fireworks show. propub.li/4xTBcxt

Ossoff: "Last week the broken old man threw a two day party in Texas while it costs more than ever to fill up your truck, stock your fridge, and power your home ... they spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

The headlines about Jon Husted's campaign keep minimizing this story by describing the neo-Nazi who posted a photo of SS soldiers as his profile picture as a "campaign staffer" or "campaign aide." He was not some low-level grunt. He was Husted's political director.

FACT 1
Absolutely no diesel fuel has been imported into the United States from Russia since 2022 zero, zilch, Nada
FACT 2
The sole reason diesel fuel has gone up 50% in the last six months is because of Donald Trump‘s war on Iran
What kind of a person would be fooled by Trump?

Did y'all hear about the woman in Iran who was sentenced to 12 years in prison because authorities believed her stillbirth was an abortion?
Sorry, my mistake....that happened in Oklahoma.

27 women accused him sexual assault
He bragged on tape about sexually assaulting women
He bragged about walking into Miss Teen USA changing rooms while girls were undressed
He was convicted of rape of E Jean Carroll
He cheated on his wife with a porn star
He's in the Epstein files 1M+ times
If you're blind to all this, its because you support it.

I dug through campaign finance records and the DOJ’s Epstein files. What I found: Donors named in the records have given nearly $4.7 million to Mike Rogers and groups supporting him. metrotimes.com/news/donors-n…

Katie Phang on a Russian oligarch bankrolling Don Jr.'s wedding: "They're so dumb. It's almost like you have to be grateful for their transparent stupidity because we see it happening in real time. Here's the fucking problem though, because there's no consequence, they keep on doing it. Because there's no consequence and there's no accountability, they just do it in the wide open."

Let me get this straight: Trump and his cronies are threatening to close the Kennedy Center unless his name is slapped on the building?
The Kennedy Center is a national institution for the arts and a living memorial to President Kennedy. It belongs to the American people — not any one president. It’s shameful that Trump is holding its future hostage to turn it into another monument to his own ego.

George Bush quit playing golf after starting the Iraq War. "I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf," he said.
"I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during war just sends the wrong signal."
Meanwhile, Trump started his war AT his Florida golf course and has spent every single weekend since on the links.
And WE foot the bill.
For both the war AND the golf.

NEWS: Trump wants his name on the Kennedy Center so badly he's letting it collapse to get it. Documents show the Center may declare bankruptcy as early as Tuesday — and Trump's offer to raise the rescue money comes with one condition: putting his name on the building again. He is a deeply pathetic and sad man.

I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete -- well into the future -- Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from Day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal grift; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as it should be remembered: "He put Trump Before America, facilitated by millions of idiots disguised as patriots."
His treachery, done for grandiosity and greed and powered by his cravings - including power, profit, legitimacy, revenge, and entitlement - will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
I have to add that a good deal of it - LOTS - would not have happened but for legacy media's consistent and widespread normalization of his disorders.

Scoop: The Flight 93 National Memorial changed their ceremony to the afternoon for the first time ever on Friday in order to accommodate a POTUS or VP visit and allow time for Secret Service checks.
But neither Trump nor Vance bothered to come.
Shameful, yet not surprising.

Since the birth of America's national parks, no administration has ever cared less about them than this one. From bulldozing Big Bend, to trying to turn over Yosemite to private equity, to bleeding staffing budgets at Joshua Tree dry, they've declared war on America's best idea.

Michigan Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers has received nearly $4,700,000 from 7 donors who appeared in the Epstein files since 2023.
Rogers has also previously said that some individuals named in the files should be protected.
