These were suppose to be lessons not the play book

This McConnell thing is like you already know what you got for Christmas but you have to act surprised when you finally unwrap it.

The reason we know this is not a coincidence is that Trump has repeatedly said across years and years that Abraham Lincoln is the only U.S. president even arguably better than him, which is exactly why it was predictable that he'd try to desecrate the Lincoln Memorial in some way

I would not rule this out

Every election needs a referee… someone neutral, making sure the game is fair. Yesterday, Trump fired the referee. Here's what that actually means for the midterms… in plain English. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Not surprisingly, the shallow and callow Pete Hegseth has been completely obsessed with imagery over substance. Who knows how many effective members of the military have been forced out because they don't fit with this pathetic manchild's imagination of What Warfighters Should Be?

"This was a landmark housing bill. Trump refusing to sign it is going to reflect poorly on Republicans. I was talking to a Senate GOP aide who told me, 'Never in my lifetime have I seen a president so deliberately attempt to lose majorities for his own party.'"

Platner playing games and waiting until the Monday deadline to file the paperwork to withdraw is totally unacceptable. No reason he couldn’t file it today or tomorrow. He has shown in every conceivable way what a piece of garbage he is. Can’t even get out with any decency.

So not only did an ICE agent shoot an unarmed man in the back of a van and lie about it, they’ve detained three eyewitnesses and are pressuring them to self-deport so they don’t testify. This is horrifying shit.

Trump adopted JD like a son. JD is now realizing Trump hates his sons.

📌Trump brutally attacked our NATO allies today — countries that have stood with us for decades — then tried to clean it up in a completely unhinged press conference hours later. I cannot imagine how badly Biden would have been assaulted if he had done this. The double standards are absurd.

Joe Biden would've had a senator of either party in this postion on the phone laughing if said senator was conscious, and if not he would've certainly called their family and stayed in touch and asked to be updated.

A despicably arrogant, defiant, full blown Trumpian response by Graham Platner as he disgracefully exits the race. He blamed everyone but himself for his failures. Not atypical of toxic behavior.

Media tip: when you’re responding to accusations of assault that include descriptions of your angry soulless eyes don’t respond to them with same look.

Trump on the sexual assault allegations against Graham Platner: “It’s really a question of whether or not you believe the woman. A lot of people say big falsehoods.”

Every day during the entire history of the US we’ve had merchants offer sales, people start new businesses, companies expand, foreigners invest in US enterprises & buy products from the US. But until now we’ve never had a president claim that every bit of it was because of him.

I probably shouldn’t have to explain this but there was never gonna be a real peace agreement with Iran, Trump & his kids are making too much money off of market manipulation and the war itself, his aim is to get the press to stop paying attention to it.

It seems relevant that the 84-year-old senior senator from Kentucky is missing and rumored to be brain-dead, while the 80-year-old current president of the United States can’t remember the name of the nation he’s been waging war against for almost five months.

ALERT: Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) asks Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to provide a health update to him and to all Kentuckians

NEW: The Treasury Department has scrapped its decade-old plan to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Meanwhile, the same Treasury plans to put Trump’s signature on future U.S. currency and is reportedly preparing a proposed $250 bill featuring his portrait

JUST IN: Over 1,200 former DOJ employees just signed a letter urging the Senate to REJECT Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General.

Can’t make this up

NO! 🤬 l.smartnews.com/p-83tWzb0s/f...

Platner is quickly losing key endorsements in the Maine Senate race

WABC owner John Catsimatidis said Cohen & Trump have smoothed things over: “I checked with the WH and they had no objection.” Cohen: “I was told the president gave me a glowing recommendation for this gig because he believes I’m going to be the next Rush Limbaugh.”

Jimmy Carter had to gave up his peanut farm to avoid any conflicts of interest while president. The Obamas were forbidden to refinance their home while he was in office. Donald Trump has made over 21,000 stock trades while in office, often using his office to manipulate markets.

I can’t find a link on BlueSky, but I would encourage everyone to listen to Obama’s Fourth of July remarks from today. Then, compare them to the absolute bile you’re going to hear from Trump tonight. Our government doesn’t have to be a walking clown show. Vote accordingly.

I won’t post the image but yes it’s disgustingly racist trash I’m used to seeing from this man. He is a bigot, a fascist and a convicted criminal. When this is over, we will rip his name down off everything.

Listen, if you don’t know the difference between Democratic socialism and communism, I’m not engaging with you. Crack a book.

Remember how I wrote in my event thread last night that I could tell Trump was absolutely livid the moment his face first appeared on camera before he began speaking? Well... *yep*.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

Another huge victory for the birthright citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment

Hypocrisy IS A CORNERSTONE OF THE GOP.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What in the Jim Crow is this? Rosa Parks didn’t refuse to give up her seat so white supremacists could take over the whole damn train. This is what America looks like on its 250th birthday when a white nationalist sits in the Oval Office.

Trump traveled all the way to South Dakota to read a half-baked red scare speech straight out of 1950

Watching a New Year’s Eve-style countdown that’s just obsessed with Taylor Swift’s wedding following barely intelligible rantings from the decaying president in front of Mt. Rushmore is probably exactly the right way to ring in the 250th birthday of this country in free fall.

Just look at the amount of $$$ the 🍊💩 has made while in office. All the while the American people are struggling.

Holy shit. This is Fox reporting on the “Trump family: biggest grift of all time.” For once, they accidentally wandered into the truth.

🎊🎉💗🍾💃🕺

It’s the world’s dumbest cult.

Trump Fair update.

To all the victims of totalitarian Marxist oppression in NYC under a communist mayor who has the audacity to ask you nicely to set your AC voluntarily to 78 degrees - We can’t truly know what’s it’s like without living under this tyranny ourselves, but we feel your pain.

America’s 250th birthday has been ruined, yall. Ruined I say!

The president plans to roll back rules on mailing guns. His son has an ownership interest in GrabAGun, seeking to be the “Amazon of guns” through on-line sales: wapo.st/3QwDSRm

Looking forward to all the Hunter Biden critics weighing in. Especially on Fox.

The most dangerous date on the calendar isn't Election Day. It's September 30th. And almost nobody is talking about it. New piece: www.jackhopkinsnow.com

👇🏽Underrated clip. Vance complains Dems aren’t working with Republicans to lower housing costs when in reality a bipartisan bill passed and Trump refused to sign it. Really sums up J.D. Vance perfectly - slick arrogance even as he gets something completely wrong.

Hey Lindsey: On February 18, 2025, the Governor of South Carolina issued a similar request for residents to conserve electricity by lowering the thermostats on their heaters during an extreme cold snap. So, apparently, your WOKE state beat New York to become socialist! Congratulations.
