Trump isn’t the problem. He is the result of the problem: the racism, ignorance, and selfishness of many people in the United States.

But first, we have to start with Trump. The rotten soil that gave him life will take much longer to fix.

Donald Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund isn’t just reparations for insurrectionists, it’s a downpayment on the next insurrection.

Trump endorses serial fraudster and habitual adulterer Ken Paxton for senate, because they have a lot in common.

Donald Trump is directing the DOJ-which he runs-to pay himself $1.7 billion He’ll use this money to pay off people like the MAGA criminals who attempted a coup on January 6 This sickening, unprecedented looting of America takes money that could be used for underfunded, life-saving programs instead

One of the reasons this isn’t a legal settlement is that a settlement of this nature requires transparency. This slush fund does the opposite by allowing for confidentiality.

After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime. Farewell, and thank you, Stephen. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/farewell-and-thank-you-stephen-colbert

Sad 😔 but true

Blanche: I am the Acting Attorney General! The fact that I used to be President Trump’s lawyer is just a fact. DON’T SAY THE PRESIDENT’S FORMER LAWYER WILL DO SOMETHING—SAY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL DO SOMETHING!

Honestly I was surprised it took 15 months for this to come out publicly.

Per Financial Times, while in Beijing, Trump proposed to Xi the idea that US, China and Russia should co-operate against the International Criminal Court.

Normally, you can't blame the president for high gas prices. But, when Trump starts a war that causes gas prices to soar because Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation, then yes, he gets all the blame. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Some history: The concepts of masculinity have changed over last few centuries. Men wore makeup, heels, wigs and dresses to convey status. #Pinks

Bad news for the solar sceptics- France just completed the world's largest agrivoltaic trial installing solar panel canopies above 2,400 hectares of Provence vineyards, cereal fields, and vegetable plots, generating 500 megawatts of clean electricity from the same land producing full agri output.

Only a dumbass would reduce the defence spending of a country when it borders one or more neighbouring countries known for invading others and avoiding international accountability; an even bigger dumbfuck would call national defence a Warhawk position.

Trump just put him in charge of the FDA. He has no medical background at all. But he does turkey hunt with Don Junior so ok. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Waste, fraud, and abuse in the flesh. Donald Trump wants to settle his joke lawsuit against his own IRS department to hand out $1.7 BILLION of OUR TAX DOLLARS to Jan. 6th insurrectionists and his cronies.

The Trump administration says it is going to go after fraud. It should redirect its attention to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Everything is a scam to get richer. He’s made $3 billion since coming back into office!

Georgia just made certain races in the Atlanta metropolitan area nonpartisan. A newly enacted bill strips party labels from ballots, likely making it easier to elect non-Democrats. Now, these counties plan to sue:

Trump brought the NVIDIA CEO on his trip to China to lobby Xi Jinping to buy advanced AI chips, even though it would create a U.S. national security threat. It turns out Trump also bought millions in NVIDIA's stock. The President's corruption is a national security disaster.

Kyrylo Budanov,head of Ukrainian Presidential Office,in an interview with Max Tucker for The Times: - While you were in military intelligence,the Kremlin has tried to assassinate you several times& now you are leading negotiations with the Russians.Are they still trying to kill you now? - So,what?

Amazon AMD Axon Boeing Microsoft Nvidia Palantir Just a few of the major corporations and government contractors Trump has bought stock in lately. Many of his trades directly coincided with regulatory decisions his administration made that affected their profits. Insider trader-in-chief.

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

Really? After the fake pictures of previous presidents bowing? 🙄

tRump’s approval rating has COLLAPSED to 34% — a new second-term low. Pew, NBC, Reuters all confirm: Americans are furious over his tanking economy, $6 gas, & endless Iran war. Even his base is bailing. Promises broken, lives harder. This is what failure looks like. mcsp.short.gy/9pKm

An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

To settle his suit with the IRS, Trump reportedly wants to create a $1.7 BILLION slush fund of taxpayer dollars that he can dole out to any of his loyalists who claim the Biden administration targeted them. He would oversee the fund’s commission. The corruption is breathtaking

The count on you being exhausted by the firehose of corruption and bullshit. But THIS. THIS is grounds to march on DC and demand the END of this mafia administration. This is the biggest middle finger to America.

This is why you don't put national secrets into a leaky dumpster.

Jesus fucking Christ, is it possible to die from the second-hand embarrassment

We're just a couple of fun-loving guys hanging out at the monkey bars during recess.

Q: Did you talk to Xi about the cyber attacks that he's done in the United States? TRUMP: I did. And he talked about attacks we did in China. You know, what they do, we do too. We spy like hell on them too. I told him, 'we do a lot of stuff to you that that you don't know about.'
