Trump:

72 years ago, SCOTUS unanimously decided Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark decision that declared racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. 3 years later, Eisenhower proposed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 protecting the right of Black Americans to vote, overruling state laws.

OMG, this will never stand up in a court of law…

. “You’re Getting Robbed. By Trump. In Broad Daylight. But don’t worry, it’s going to a good cause: a slush fund for January 6ers.”

"If this sort of looting of the public coffers at the president’s behest and for his personal gain and that of his allies isn’t an impeachable offense, then the term has truly lost all meaning." On the IRS lawsuit settlement:

Straight-up admitting it’s all for show. Unbelievable stuff.

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

MAGA is just too damned easy to swindle. Donny and his sons made a fake web site for a nonexistent 'Trump Phone" and got their brain-dead cultists to send them SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS. I explain it all in today's post, thank you for your attention to this matter. link is here: bit.ly/4cZPlBg

Q: After today's strikes, is the ceasefire with Iran still on? TRUMP: Yeah it is. They trifled with us today. We blew them away. If there's no ceasefire, you'll see one big glow coming out of Iran. They better sign an agreement fast.

Trump to military moms: "We'll see whether or not they're agreeing. And if they don't agree, they'll end up agreeing shortly thereafter. That's the way it is."

Strictly speaking, we ARE doing "unbelievably well," in the sense that us doing well in Iran is unbelievable.
