Only thing that matters to them is that trump will make them pay less taxes

He’s a useful tool

What’s weird is that ceos are enjoying record profits right now. Cut taxes even further? Why? So we can have even more debt? At some point we do need to like actually pay for stuff, right? It’s kinda hard to make record profits if you aren’t paying to maintain roads, some form of a social safety net, and military for security, right?

Horrible news! We’re in a Great Depression! What a hellscape. Better vote fascism

It’s interesting how no one in the media brings up how Trump’s rallies actually undermine his “America is on fire hellscape.” If we lived in a depression crime filled hell hole, no leader would be talking about sharks and batteries and no crowd would tolerate a leader ranting babble like that. Trump can be “Trump” and rant about weirdo stuff because America is so prosperous and life here is so unserious and boring.

Trump knows he can riff nonsense to his followers because they are all chumps in his mind. After all, they believed all his bs, how can he actually respect them? He has zero respect for his followers, and he shows it when he talks nonsense off the top to those followers.

Trump respects no one and expects ultimate and undying respect in return. Part of his megalomania.

Trump’s Campaign Was Just a Scammy Money Grab All Along

Donald Trump has funneled millions of dollars from his presidential campaign to his businesses.
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

As a candidate in 2016, Trump promised to divest from his business holdings if he were elected president. In January 2017, not two weeks before his inauguration, he reneged on that pledge.

Now Donald Trump has transferred $4.6 million of donations to his campaign into his businesses by charging the campaign for travel and food expenses, according to a new report from Forbes.

Federal Election Commission filings show that Trump’s aviation company, Tag Air, has charged the campaign $4.2 million since his 2024 bid kicked off. Secret Service flight costs—members are required to travel with Trump on the campaign trail—reportedly account for more than $800,000.

The campaign has also spent around $60,000 between the Trump National Doral golf resort in Florida and the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. And that’s to say nothing of the $332,000 the campaign has paid to host events at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s residence.


It’s not the first time Trump has pulled this kind of enrichment scheme: As president, he reportedly charged Secret Service agents “exorbitant” rates—sometimes five times the General Services Administration–mandated government rate—to stay at Trump-branded hotels in the United States, and untold millions at Trump properties abroad.

After losing the 2020 election, he solicited $250 million in supporter donations for his “election defense fund.” In the last six months of 2023, he spent $27 million of his supporters’ money on legal fees. And in the wake of several legal judgments against him—including a $450 million fine in his civil fraud case and an $83 million fine in the E. Jean Carroll defamation suit—he’s been forced to rely on unsavory, if not outright illegal, fundraising methods. Knight Speciality Insurance, the only surety willing to post Trump’s bond in the civil fraud case, famously lacked the assets to back the bond.

Orange God King Grifter. The grifting continues. Always.


In trumps defense, he is a criminal after all.
 
Of course
https://www.yahoo.com/news/conservative-media-uses-misleading-camera-202913162.html

Conservative media outlets selectively used a camera angle that left out important context to spread a claim Thursday and Friday that President Joe Biden wandered off from a meeting of world leaders, but the full video at another angle captured by NBC News tells a different story.
Instead of wandering off, Biden was walking toward a group of parachutists who had just landed in an Italian clearing and gave them two thumbs up.

The video is one of many that have circulated widely online in recent weeks attempting to cast relatively normal moments as gaffes or evidence that Biden is suffering from a mental decline.

Many of the deceptive videos went viral on X, which under owner Elon Musk has transformed into an increasingly influential media outlet in conservative circles — one that’s hostile to the Biden administration and where false stories spread with few checks by the platform.

The NBC News video angle clearly includes what the others did not: the group of kneeling parachutists who were only steps away from Biden. As they’re kneeling, Biden walks toward them, stops and gives them two thumbs up. At least one of them appears to acknowledge Biden by standing at attention.

Deceptive videos of Biden have become a common tactic during the 2024 presidential campaign, which features Biden and 78-year-old former President Donald Trump. Last year, conservative pundits used low-quality video to spread a false claim that Biden fell asleep during a memorial for wildfire victims in Hawaii.
 

Trump repeatedly quoted as wishing to "execute" people. The Rapist will have the Trumptards foaming at the mouth come election time. He'd be, as he said, "a dictator on day one". What do dictators do? They kill their enemies, either in a clandestine manner or through use of the military, even against their own people. The Rapist has all the best rhetoric like, "They're poisoning the blood of our country" , "radical left thugs who live like vermin", "In some cases they're not people... they're animals". If he's elected again he'll use the military(at least try very hard to) against his enemies. It'll be, as he conditioned his Trooptards, "a bloodbath".

Quite the cast of characters defending The Rapist:


"Former President Donald Trump defended himself in a recent interview against those who think he’s racist, saying he can’t be because he has “so many” friends who are Black.
“I have so many Black friends that if I were a racist, they wouldn’t be friends, they would know better than anybody, and fast,” he said in an interview with Semafor published Friday. “They would not be with me for two minutes if they thought I was racist — and I’m not racist!”

Several Black male celebrities came to his defense in separate interviews with the news outlet. Those men included heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, retired MLB slugger Darryl Strawberry, boxing promoter Don King, and former NFL star Herschel Walker, who lost a 2022 Senate race in Georgia.
 
But of course. It almost seems like being corrupt or criminal or controversial or scandalous is a huge benefit for republican politicians. (read another article today about Lauren Boebart vaping at a baseball game where vaping is prohibited)

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has roiled lawmakers in both parties by appointing a pair of hardline conservatives to the House Intelligence Committee.

Johnson tapped Perry and Jackson to replace former Reps. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) and Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), both of whom resigned midway through their terms.
The picks were bound to be inflammatory: Perry's phone was seized by the FBI as part of its Jan. 6 probe, while Jackson has faced allegations of drinking on duty and harassing staff when he was the White House physician.

One Republican member said of Perry, who has been a thorn in the side of GOP leadership: "Part of the problem is it is rewarding bad behavior."

The committee is charged with oversight of the intelligence community, and thus has access to highly classified information often not provided to other rank-and-file members of Congress.

It is also a select committee, allowing Johnson to make the appointments unilaterally without sign-off from the GOP's steering committee.

Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) was not looped in on the picks, according to Punchbowl News, nor was Ranking Member Jim Himes (D-Conn.), a source familiar with the matter told Axios.

Turner and Himes have worked to salvage the Intelligence Committee's longstanding reputation as a haven from Congress' usual divisiveness.

That distinction was blurred after Trump-era scandals drew the committee into repeated and public partisan warfare.

"The chairman and I have worked really, really hard to rebuild the committee into something non-partisan, and so this was obviously a concerning development," Himes told Axios.
 
Full court press for civil war. I am so disgusted with anyone who supports these pieces of **** who are trying to end democracy. Polls need to start swinging away from MAGA.

"He wants peace, and only a strong man can give us peace. Only a leader can give us peace," Bannon told the crowd.

But if trump doesn't give us peace then we want war and death lol. What a bitch

Biden is going downhill FAST due to age. We need him to withdraw from the 2024 election ASAP. What is the path forward if he does? Who would take his place?

White House Fumes at Trumpworld’s Latest ‘Cheap Fake’ Video

Less than a week after being derided for using a deceptively edited clip of President Joe Biden to suggest that he “wandered off” during a G7 economic summit in Italy, right-wing pundits and media outlets—including Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post—published another round of stories featuring a...

Please don't post anything negative about Trump. It's mean and toxic. Stop being a one sided ideologue. Biden is old and inflation. We need to vote for fascism. Trump is always taken out of context by the media and is in reality, a very peaceful not racist not felon. He just has the worst of luck of anyone. /s

Every day Trump says or does something that just further proves how unfit he is for office. Meanwhile, our media creates a horse race by emphasizing Biden’s age. As if that eliminates what his awesome record as president has been. That’s fine, dump Biden empower Trump. But then it won’t matter what your candidate’s age is in 2028, as we won’t have free and fair elections anymore

Let's pretend that Biden stepped down today and the party then needed to hold a convention.

How does anyone think that'll go down?

Does anyone actually think, especially with Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsome, Josh Shapiro, Mayor Pete, etc waiting in the wings and violence in Gaza, that this will go down peacefully? For a party that might already be struggling to keep its coalition of the left to never trump from white college educated to black males together? Dump Kamala right now, how will that go over with black women? What happens if Newsome wants to outflank the left and attacks Israel? Embrace (gay) Mayor Pete and how many Latinos and conservative never trumpers might that turn off? Meanwhile, as Democrats are attacking themselves, Trump gets to campaign and win voters over and sharpen his attacks on Democrats. Guys, we're in mid-June and the actual election is in November. Early voting will begin in October.

One would think that if the DOJ had been weaponized that this little weasel would’ve been thrown in the slammer a long time ago. I can’t think of more loathsome character than Gaetz. He’s disgusting and I have no idea how anyone in his district feels good voting for him
