How much money did Trump grift out of his presidency?
Don't forget: Trump made a deal with the Russians and the Saudis to cut oil production to keep prices high. Republicans used to say deficit spending cases inflation. Trump added more to the debt than anyone in history.
Why is media NOT asking Trump about the $10 million he received while in White House from Egypt President? Why Jared left White House with $2 billion from Saudi. Why nobody asking yet? Looks like bribes.
How many Americans will vote for a convicted felon? It's a real flaw in the Constitution that a felon can even run 🤦♂️
That's why I have this "Prosecutor or Criminal 2024" shirt 👇
It pains me to admit that I voted for him in 2016, but with reservations as to what he might do. He exceeded my worst fears. I had always voted Republican and had not paid attention to the shifts within the party. I felt the framework of government would keep him in line. I never foresaw the enablers in either the Republican Party or the Supreme Court. Since 2016 I have voted straight ticket Democrat, and have responded to Republican emails with, "Until you purge the party of all Trumpsters and fascists, I will never vote for a Republican again unless he is an avowed anti-Trump candidate."
The new and social media platforms are mostly all owned by sycophants and billionaire buddies of the Drumpfster - they’re not going to report on anything like his fragile mental state (have you heard his new LISP in the talk with Elon Musk? WTAF?🤷🏻♀️)
But Hunter Biden tried to get a Ukranian business to invest in his company by hinting that his father might do favors. The current congress investigates that sort of thing so I'm sure they'll be right on this Egyptian donation.
Try using actual facts. France England and the USA were mad that the money they were giving to Ukraine was being stolen. Obama sent Biden to Ukraine to tell them to fire the corrupt, Putin loving thief who was supposed to be prosecuting corruption or their money would be cut off. Biden's son was on the Board and pulling a paycheck for a Ukrainian Company, which obviously they thought gave them some protection. It didn't. The corruption was eliminated. Putin was incised. And Putin tool Trump took over the fight. If you are upset about nepotism then check out Barr's son, Giuliani's son and probably all the kids whose parents are in Congress and the Judiciary. Don't ignore Jared and Ivanka either.
It would be great to have the names of their sons and daughters. Otherwise, we are unable to check out their activities. Can you post some names for us?
Well, it's called the internet, search away. Throw in the names of the some of the usual suspects on the MAGA side and see what you come up with. Just start with the tangerine turd's family and then take it from there.
Here's Giuliani's son: "Andrew was a special assistant to the President and associate director of the Office of Public Liaison during the administration of President Donald Trump. He has been a contributor for the conservative media channel Newsmax TV."
I was being sarcastic. Compared to Trump's sil comi g home from Saudi Arabia with a 2 billion check, that not one Republican even blinked an eye. And don't forget Ivanka's Chinese patents she received while visiting China with her daddy in the first trimester of his taking office. Againn, crickets from the Republicans
Hunter Biden is a fucked up drug addict who very stupidly used his father's name and accomplishments to make deals and guarantees that were doomed to fail. I'm really tired of hearing this comparison BS derail drivel when it is not even remotely in the same galaxy of evil that trump and his ilk travel in.
Hunter Biden is no angel for sure......but wow......The Morons Are Governing America got their diapers worth of deflection and shifing attention out of him!!! Donnibal Lector has been able to slither and slime his way through his dementia with the help of MTG..the tank-top tramp.......(at least we know there is something more than an orange sized mushroom down there) Has President Biden served up a pardon yet??? Case closed.........shut down the lap top and get a life.
Besides which, Hunter belong to a $35,000 a year group sex club, fucking his way through life. Okay so he has changed, but that albatross around his neck that will never go away.
Still not relevant here. The only people Hunter hurt were himself and his family.
The subject is TRUMP AND HIS CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, which has done possibly irreparable damage not only to this nation but others as well. Enough of Hunter already!
Everyone seems to neglect the facts; Hunter was a 3 y.o. toddler, brain - injured in the car accident, which killed his mother and sister, while also injuring his brother Bo..That baby saw / lived this. Do you not understand the life of PTSD, trauma and iner turmoil, he still suffers from?
Correction, he is a functioning SOBER drug addict. He's trying to right his wrongs which is more than I can say for most people that have never touched drugs or alcohol and continue to do fucked up shit without conscious. Hunter is doing the next right thing and I commend him for it.
Cite, please. Otherwise, if he weren't considered a "public figure," that comment, would be, without proper evidence, considered slanderous. The tangerine turd can speak to that. How much does he owe E Jean Carroll now?
Actually, the comment is defamatory. Since the purpose of the comment is to say nasty things about Hunter, I’d argue there is actual malice to it. Bingo—big damages!
Not in this lifetime. As long as it’s Trump doing the swindling nobody reports on it or seems to care. A sad commentary on the lowly state of news media these days.
Carroll, I honestly don't understand Trump's pull; he is mean, nasty, not attractive, unable to keep his thoughts straight, a terrible businessman, a cheat, a serial liar, an insurrectionist, a terrible president, and all those things just keep cycling in some form or another. What do people not counting his handlers, see in this bloated loud-mouthed fool. His handlers get to bathe in the power We the People have permitted Donald Trump to hold when he deserves none of it. What is the draw that millions would do almost anything for him when they no longer even listen to him? Ghastly!
Because a big majority of his followers have no clue what he has done or is doing. They are only glomming on to whatever their FB, Instagram, Tik Tok friends say. They do no research or critical thinking, they cannot give a coherent, reasonable opinion as to why they support him.
Ellen, don't you find that just too sad and pathetic. Trump has learned all his life how to use people who are vulnerable and are more comfortable in a bubble than fully functioning in the real world. I so wish there were areally strong pin that could break their bubbles, but I am not able to imagine where one might be found.
I seriously believe he s been connected to NYC mafia for years at least since the casinos in NJ and bankruptcies. Another reason Repubs in Congress so afraid to be on his bad side. He d silence them wo blinking!
Catherine, I do believe Trump and his cronies have something on everyone in congress, in most of the state legislatures and governor's offices, and business too. If what he has isn't real, it won't matter because people will believe it and the troops will stay silent, particularly the Republican ones. No courage! Liz Cheyney seemed as though she had some, but she stood for most of the things Trump does, but not the insurrection. I am glad she stood against Trump for that, but she learned how quickly Trump's minions came after her, just the way those super rich PACs went after members of the Squad who wouldn't shut up about Gaza and wanted Israel to stop the genocide. I hope and expect Harris, Walz, and the rest of the Democrats running up and down every ballot will stand strong, be honest with constituents, and stand for what is right despite threats, lies, and the character assassination that Republicans traffic in.
Yes and right after they investigate the ‘donation’ from Egypt the will get on the 2 billion Kushner received from Saudi Arabia! I won’t be holding my breath!
Yes! The only way to get out of this mess is to vote blue down ballot. If the Republicans hold the house or Senate, we will have more of the same chaos, because they will block everything, in service to their deer leader. Why isn’t anyone asking about the border bill he blocked? The media is the reason we had Trump in the first place, they didn’t push back on his lies then. They thought he was a joke.
We are in pretty serious danger of losing the Senate, so I'm advocating pushing resources there too. Our margins are just too slim to screw around and potentially lose anywhere this year. Republikkkans are not going away, and as long as they have tRump to collect around, they will be able to keep the majority of their politicians in line. All it took to defeat a REPUBLICAN-created border bill was one phone call from the Orange Malignancy.
They are beyond corrupt. We may not be able to keep the Senate. Unless Trump loses, and they realize he is not a force in their party anyone. But what is really worrisome is the Maga folks who have installed themselves in the voting apparatus in swing states. People who will refuse to certify the election if Trump does not win. It could snarl up the works. Especially with creepy Mikey as the Speaker.
I saw a middle aged white woman days ago at lunch wearing the “I’m voting for the convicted felon” shirt. People at the table next to her complimented her 🤦🤦
I think I may have to hunker down at home until after the election.
I think I’ve discovered a key to all this disunity. The US illiteracy rate is over 41% placing it 125th in the world. People who cannot read, are desperately poor and naive will believe whatever or whoever tells whatever untruth that makes it seem they might be elevated out of their deplorable existence. Enter the Orange Peril spouting saviour-like garbage as if he loves and wants to protect and nurture them and they are like ants on a glue trap. For Democratic words and act to pry anything off a glue trap is not easy.
I guess the only way is to demo the good being done and describe and broadcast it constantly pointing to evidence is the only hope.
I think Harris has the energy ang charisma to carry it.
Some people are fools. A girl with whom I went to high school told me she was voting for Trump because he was a Christian and displayed Christian values in his daily life.
Does that Christian behavior include screwing the porn star while Melania was home with a new-born? Or the time he buried his first wife on the grounds of his golf course so (1) he could save money and (2) he could take tax deduction for operating a cemetery .
Barbara, I think she was marveling that each day he was able to break at least 1 of the Ten Commandments" getting the whole ten before he died. It's also the hate he pumped out early every day to counter Jesus' message of love and caring. I guess she was seeing the mirror image of what a good christian is when she thought of her Baby Donnie. It does make one wonder what kind of christian that woman is, probably not much of one, just like the evangelicals and many Catholics that support Trump now.
Heather, no hunkering down until the election. Maybe that woman needs a comment like "Oh I see you are a "Law and Order" fan." Than move on. Maybe someone else in the place will get the message even if that woman can't.
I keep hearing this phrase continuously. In 2016, they were trained like house puppies to come running when called. If they actually asked questions, Trump would attack them followed by threats from his fan cult. Then he'd run to Fox and Twitter and play the victim. On top of that, he would ban them from Mar-a-lago or where ever else he was giving a speech. He was the most newsworthy thing in town. He promised every time he spoke to say something so ridiculous and so scandalous that legit news organization essentially became tabloids. Trump would have to learn that once he was actually President that he couldn't ban journalist he didn't like from the White House Press room on a whim but he was happy not to answer their questions if they were "too bias" against him.
Trump's act has gone stale. Few people actually care about his little press conferences of asininity anymore. Most people believe it would just be best if the media simply wouldn't come running to give him free air time. Yet 8 years later, they come running when the dog whistle is blown and still play by his rules of "ask not."
"That's why I have this "Prosecutor or Criminal 2024" shirt" FOR SALE HERE AT MY WEBSITE
You really are all over the place, aren't you? Hawking your shitty overpriced shirts while pretending to be a member of the community.
Folks, don't fall for old JP's bullshit. They are solely here to sell you stuff. I see them on lots of progressive sites and it's always the same old shit. Blend in and then hit you with a sales pitch. Truly craven behavior.
Now I understand why we had such an inflation problem. I wish that some of the financial reporters would have explained that (maybe they did and I just didn't hear it).
I suspect that the journalists these days are either greedy or lazy (or both), and the owners of the news outlets are counting on tRump lowering the taxes on the ultra-rich AGAIN. Apparently you can't be too rich. The few journalists who have scruples at all seem to have left for sites in which they aren't beholden to corporate masters (like here, social media and YouTube).
Carlye, I have to disagree with you somewhat. There are some very good journalists on MSNBC - Ali Velshi, Joy Reid, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Rachel Maddow (at a minimum) who do have scruples and do good reporting. Apart from that I agree with you about the MSM. As I understand it, money is an addiction for some people, just like drugs are for others.
Donible Lector must face a military tribunal. He is a traitor, commited crimes against humanty, child rapist, aided and abetted the enemy, stolen documents putting national security at risk...accepted bribes breaking international law.....threatened and degraded innocent citizens.
Conviction charges would start with life in solitary confinment............the tribunal would have to decide if the turncoat who betrayd his nation would need to be blindfolded
Let's look at the numbers.....he lost. He lost bigly, but the Electoral College, which should be removed, put him in office. An antiquated concept at best, a way to skew elections at worst.
🤔 everyone who is participating here…so you are saying some of us on this thread voted for Trump? Wow, not likely. And I say again, so did every else here and I clarify HERE on this thread.
I do know there is at least one trumpster that does read these, He posted on Twitter last month about something that was posted in these threads. In fact, I argued with him for a bit, then I muted him for his ignorance.
Not likely, but I didnt follow anyone to the polls. Awww NOW u clarify. Tad late innit. Smh. U really have to b the one who starts arguments for attention. Ur one of those who taught their kids to b entitled, privileged brats as well. It’s obvious by ur attitude.
I hope you were not replying to my statement. Because I am not the one who starts any arguments. And I couldn't care less about attention drawn to me, I speak my mind and do not care what others say, but when it comes to Con-Old, I do know a lot more than the ones I argue with, they are the ones who want to argue, because that is all they are online for.
SCOTUS needs to be answerable to Congress and there needs to be term limits, such as 18 years, NOT lifetime appointments. Plus, corrupt SCOTUS justices need to be impeachable ASAP!
Every Trump family member that was in his administration during his 1st and hopefully only time in office should be investigated for treason, bribery, and high crimes. Any Republican that cries foul needs to be included in the fray. Full stop. Tired of the 💩. Once a felon always a felon!
WELL, THAT WOULD BE ONLY IVANKA AND JARED,AS DJT JUNIOR AND ERIC WERE ONLY "WHISPERING" IN HIS EAR AND NOT ACTUALLY AIDES,ADVISORS OR APPOINTED CABINET MEMBERS..YES,EVERY REPUBLICAN WHO HAS PROMOTED AND PUSHED HIS AGENDA,STOP THE STEAL,LIES, AND OF COURSE RAN AWAY ON JANUARY 6TH,BUT CAME BACK KISSING THE ROYAL TRUMP RING,SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED..UNFORTUNTATELY, THAT IS WISHFUL THINKING AS PROSECUTION AND JAIL TIME HAS BEN AVOIDED BY LOTS OF THOSE FOLKS,AND MR TRUMP IS DOING THAT HIMSLF,WITH DELAYS,JUDGES LIKE CANNON, AND OF COURSE THE SCOTUS!BIL BARR WAS ONE OF THE WORST, AND YET HE "LAWYER TALKED"HIS WAY OUT OF ALL THE THINGS HE DID FOR TRUMP..
thank you marlene..its easy to do all caps and then halfway through say..oops..people should not be so preachy on that subject,when this is an adult conversation and caps or no caps,a position or a point is being made..the purpose of this blog is to read the truthful and "spot on" things mary trump has to say,and if we have an idea or an opinion,to voice it ...with all of the important things going on to comment on,correcting someone else should not be art of the discussion..
They’re giving the jerk way too much credit, adolescent? No, he’s still stuck in toddler temper tantrums. Level of ability to “think” is that level too, an overly bright toddler, never advanced much further, except to chatter way too much. The body kept growing, what a mess.
Well-spoken, Mary. Thanks for tying it all together. That needed doing. I am still appalled that this global south behavior is happening in America. I believed our checks and balances would hold our government and our country together and protect us from all this shit. But, no, it’s infected all three branches. And there we have it Bright blessings!
The checks & balances worked when Nixon was forced to step down. I had a strong belief in our republic and democracy then. Today? A corrupt SCOTUS and a corrupt Republican Party hell bent on grabbing power and destroying our country in the process. My dad was a Republican and he would be appalled at what has happened to the party today. He would have admired Sen. McCain and Sen. Romney. Not the sycophants who call themselves GOP today.
Hopefully there will be criminal charges filed during the Harris administration over this. No Presidential immunity applies to acts taken before the election.
No, we don't. That's called a slur. It takes 2/3s of the Senate to impeach. That's a pretty high bar. It was tried. The Democrats did their part, the MAGA party? They did what the felon told them to do.
Add this to the list of acts perpetrated by an amoral man whose main goals are to 1). Stay out of jail and 2) enrich himself as much as possible at the expense of our country. How did the old GOP come under the influence of such evil and become MAGA?
I know it's hard to believe, but they weren't innocent little lambs being led blindly to the slaughterhouse. They were and are fully complicit, and apparently prepared to swear an oath to Donald Trump instead of the Constitution. They also seem willing to sacrifice our Democracy for him. I guess the question is are their voters also prepared to do that?
For that answer read Heather Cox Richardson's book "Democracy Awakening " , it's a great reminder of Republican Criminality. Ford pardons Nixon, GW Bush follows AG Bill Barr's recommendation and the convicted Reagan operatives in the Iran-Contra affair. These are 2 of the best known crimes.
Thom Hartman did a Substack recently about this. The common denominator was William Barr. Barry was called in by Reagan to shut down the Iran- Contra debacle where his campaign bribed Iran to hold the hostages. This would keep Carter from getting the credit and threw the election. Barr again called by Bush in the Iraq deception and by Donald when he was being investigated by the DOJ for this Egypt bribe. You are correct... he's going to get worse.
Who in our government can prosecute Trump for bribery now?? How high in the government do we have to go to get justice for this thieving, lying scum. Will someone find that he had his ex-wife Ivanka murdered? Maybe she knew too much about more of his previous crimes. Who knows? She was found dead in her home with no witnesses. He is so shady and has no loyalty to anyone. His family covers and lies for him. Just so they can keep taking his money. Keep him away from our government!!!!
I knew the moment he had his slimy hands on that absurd globe with his wicked smirk that something very corrupt was going on and he knew he was getting away with it. Just like I knew when Bill Clinton was all charged up with that cigar in his mouth that that cigar was not just a cigar. I even told my sister, “theres something sexual going on with that cigar the way his eyes are lit and his whole body is laughing.”. My sister responded “You’ e always been able to zone in in those sexual vibes even as a child.” Yep. Its like a neon light flashing.
Funny, how some people keep coming back to Bill Clinton. Tell me, did it have anything to do with the running of the country? Did it effect our foreign policy. Did he hold secret meetings with one of our oldest enemies in the Oval Office without US translators? Did he steal documents?
To all of the above? The answer is NO. So I'm going to say what Shirley MacLaine said about JFK, "I don't care who the President f*cks, as long as he doesn't f*ck over the country." Can't say that about the turd or the MAGA party can we?
So maybe it's time we invoke the Tim Walz statement and apply it to Pres. Clinton and we mind our own damn business.
Turned out that many of the GOP House impeachment managers trying to crucify Clinton had had extramarital affairs themselves. GOP is hypocrisy blind, immune to irony, and is morally bankrupt.
In France (at least) extra-marital relationships are considered a normal perk of office. I agree with your sentiments as expressed by Tim Walz, “Mind your own damn business!” It’s worth reminding everyone that Clinton’s impeachment was straight-up political; it had nothing to do with running (or selling out) the country. The contrast with Don-old couldn’t be any starker.
At the time, Ken Starr was at the top of my most-wanted list for his authorship of the hit-job “Starr Report” that formed the basis for Clinton’s impeachment. What an evil man; ended up years later resigning in disgrace from the presidency and chancellorship of Baylor University for his mishandling of multiple sexual-assault allegations on campus, only to be picked up by Don-old as one of his defense attorneys during his first impeachment.
I’m not buying this. Clinton was stupid enough to fuck around with a young intern in the oval office and he tried to lie his way out of it. Had he resigned, as he should have, then Albert Gore would have been the president for about a year before the election. That year would have given Gore the time to build enough political strength to defeat GW Bush with sufficient margin to avoid handing the decision over to a corrupt Supreme Court. Had Gore been president, we wouldn’t have had the Iraq war. I hold Bill Clinton responsible for the Iraq war.
The Iraq war? The name you want is BUSH. Remember him? He was AWOL for 18 months during Viet Nam. Your entire premise lacks merit. Gore caused the question to go to the Supreme Court. My, such anger for something you have so misunderstood as to be.....sad.
If the American people are sufficiently stupid to elect a convicted felon, they deserve what they get. Personally I think the vast majority of the electorate are not that stupid. I expect Harris/Walz will win the popular vote by many millions of votes. My fear is that after the election is over, and Harris/Walz have won the maggots who wrote and have planned their response will force the vote to the House of Representatives and no matter which party is in control they will declare themselves the winner as planned.
Note: Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., was recently found guilty on all counts after being tried on charges of accepting substantial bribes from Egypt (and Quatar). He's resigning as senator. Is jail in his future? Seems a good precedent. Trump next?
Good Day. If there was anyone in law enforcement, government and civilian, that really gave a damn, Donald would have been in prison years ago. No One that matters has or will do anything about his crimes or his treason. Our Nation Appears To Be Terminal. Only if November Brings A Vaccination, Or Mother Nature Does Her Job.
Oh don’t worry, I added bribery to the list loonnnng ago. Around the same time I added narcissistic perverted lech

Yes! The only way to get out of this mess is to vote blue down ballot. If the Republicans hold the house or Senate, we will have more of the same chaos, because they will block everything, in service to their deer leader. Why isn’t anyone asking about the border bill he blocked? The media is the reason we had Trump in the first place, they didn’t push back on his lies then. They thought he was a joke.
We are in pretty serious danger of losing the Senate, so I'm advocating pushing resources there too. Our margins are just too slim to screw around and potentially lose anywhere this year. Republikkkans are not going away, and as long as they have tRump to collect around, they will be able to keep the majority of their politicians in line. All it took to defeat a REPUBLICAN-created border bill was one phone call from the Orange Malignancy.
They are beyond corrupt. We may not be able to keep the Senate. Unless Trump loses, and they realize he is not a force in their party anyone. But what is really worrisome is the Maga folks who have installed themselves in the voting apparatus in swing states. People who will refuse to certify the election if Trump does not win. It could snarl up the works. Especially with creepy Mikey as the Speaker.
There are now TShirts saying "I'm Voting For The Felon." !!!
Sad but true!
I saw a middle aged white woman days ago at lunch wearing the “I’m voting for the convicted felon” shirt. People at the table next to her complimented her 🤦🤦
I think I may have to hunker down at home until after the election.
That is awful. These people are sick fucked up cultists.
Can't decide if that's grossly stupid or terrifying. Both, I suppose.
Terrifying in that there are actual votes being wasted.
I think I’ve discovered a key to all this disunity. The US illiteracy rate is over 41% placing it 125th in the world. People who cannot read, are desperately poor and naive will believe whatever or whoever tells whatever untruth that makes it seem they might be elevated out of their deplorable existence. Enter the Orange Peril spouting saviour-like garbage as if he loves and wants to protect and nurture them and they are like ants on a glue trap. For Democratic words and act to pry anything off a glue trap is not easy.
I guess the only way is to demo the good being done and describe and broadcast it constantly pointing to evidence is the only hope.
I think Harris has the energy ang charisma to carry it.
Here’s hoping and praying……
Some people are fools. A girl with whom I went to high school told me she was voting for Trump because he was a Christian and displayed Christian values in his daily life.
Hard to believe anyone could lack the critical thinking to say that!
They’re all drinking orange Kool Aid
Did you go to the ER to have your whiplash x-rayed?
Does that Christian behavior include screwing the porn star while Melania was home with a new-born? Or the time he buried his first wife on the grounds of his golf course so (1) he could save money and (2) he could take tax deduction for operating a cemetery .
Her statement was so bizarre that I didn't know what to say.
Barbara, I think she was marveling that each day he was able to break at least 1 of the Ten Commandments" getting the whole ten before he died. It's also the hate he pumped out early every day to counter Jesus' message of love and caring. I guess she was seeing the mirror image of what a good christian is when she thought of her Baby Donnie. It does make one wonder what kind of christian that woman is, probably not much of one, just like the evangelicals and many Catholics that support Trump now.
LOL
As long as you mail in your ballot good and early or do the drop box!!
Heather, no hunkering down until the election. Maybe that woman needs a comment like "Oh I see you are a "Law and Order" fan." Than move on. Maybe someone else in the place will get the message even if that woman can't.
Heather,: You could always channel a trump tantrum and throw ketchup on the next one you see.
Sickkos, all of them.
No surprise whatsoever. If 100 IQ is average, HALF the people have an IQ below that.
Frightening.
That’s so wrong!
When American banks would no longer give him loans he turned to Germany's Deutsche Bank. They loaned him $2 Billion.
According to the New York Times, Deutsche Bank continued to loan him multi-millions until as late as 2015.
https://www.worldfinance.com/strategy/deutsche-bank-loaned-trump-2bn-despite-multiple-red-flags-new-report-claims
That is a flaw to be corrected. The electoral vote system is another.
"Why doesn't the media ask...."
I keep hearing this phrase continuously. In 2016, they were trained like house puppies to come running when called. If they actually asked questions, Trump would attack them followed by threats from his fan cult. Then he'd run to Fox and Twitter and play the victim. On top of that, he would ban them from Mar-a-lago or where ever else he was giving a speech. He was the most newsworthy thing in town. He promised every time he spoke to say something so ridiculous and so scandalous that legit news organization essentially became tabloids. Trump would have to learn that once he was actually President that he couldn't ban journalist he didn't like from the White House Press room on a whim but he was happy not to answer their questions if they were "too bias" against him.
Trump's act has gone stale. Few people actually care about his little press conferences of asininity anymore. Most people believe it would just be best if the media simply wouldn't come running to give him free air time. Yet 8 years later, they come running when the dog whistle is blown and still play by his rules of "ask not."
"That's why I have this "Prosecutor or Criminal 2024" shirt" FOR SALE HERE AT MY WEBSITE
You really are all over the place, aren't you? Hawking your shitty overpriced shirts while pretending to be a member of the community.
Folks, don't fall for old JP's bullshit. They are solely here to sell you stuff. I see them on lots of progressive sites and it's always the same old shit. Blend in and then hit you with a sales pitch. Truly craven behavior.
Now I understand why we had such an inflation problem. I wish that some of the financial reporters would have explained that (maybe they did and I just didn't hear it).
I suspect that the journalists these days are either greedy or lazy (or both), and the owners of the news outlets are counting on tRump lowering the taxes on the ultra-rich AGAIN. Apparently you can't be too rich. The few journalists who have scruples at all seem to have left for sites in which they aren't beholden to corporate masters (like here, social media and YouTube).
Carlye, I have to disagree with you somewhat. There are some very good journalists on MSNBC - Ali Velshi, Joy Reid, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Rachel Maddow (at a minimum) who do have scruples and do good reporting. Apart from that I agree with you about the MSM. As I understand it, money is an addiction for some people, just like drugs are for others.
Damn right!
Trump is the only president in your lifetime to have a net DECREASE of wealth during his presidency.
Donible Lector must face a military tribunal. He is a traitor, commited crimes against humanty, child rapist, aided and abetted the enemy, stolen documents putting national security at risk...accepted bribes breaking international law.....threatened and degraded innocent citizens.
Conviction charges would start with life in solitary confinment............the tribunal would have to decide if the turncoat who betrayd his nation would need to be blindfolded
THIS!!
So did everyone else
Not everyone. And there were those who voted him into office smh
Let's look at the numbers.....he lost. He lost bigly, but the Electoral College, which should be removed, put him in office. An antiquated concept at best, a way to skew elections at worst.
Oh I know n I’m glad, but folks still voted for him.
🤔 everyone who is participating here…so you are saying some of us on this thread voted for Trump? Wow, not likely. And I say again, so did every else here and I clarify HERE on this thread.
No, never, I am a born & bred Harlem child and follows Maya Angelu astute advice," WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS YOU WHO THEY ARE THE FIRST TIME, BELIEVE THEM ".
I LEARNED WHO/ WHAT he IS during NYC's WORLD FAIR, " COLORED =APPLICATION STRAIGHT INO THE GARBAGE PAIL.
I do know there is at least one trumpster that does read these, He posted on Twitter last month about something that was posted in these threads. In fact, I argued with him for a bit, then I muted him for his ignorance.
Not likely, but I didnt follow anyone to the polls. Awww NOW u clarify. Tad late innit. Smh. U really have to b the one who starts arguments for attention. Ur one of those who taught their kids to b entitled, privileged brats as well. It’s obvious by ur attitude.
I hope you were not replying to my statement. Because I am not the one who starts any arguments. And I couldn't care less about attention drawn to me, I speak my mind and do not care what others say, but when it comes to Con-Old, I do know a lot more than the ones I argue with, they are the ones who want to argue, because that is all they are online for.
lol no no I wasn’t replying to ur comment on that. I was replying to Marlene schuman. You’re fine. I knew u weren’t trying to cause trouble, Michael
I hope voters send Kamala and Tim to the White House, which will send Donald to the jailhouse. 😃
I also hope that Kamala as President sends Roberts, Thomas and Alito packing via 18 year term limits, so she can replace them with 3 liberal justices.
Thank you, Mary. 💙
I hope they send the 3 to prison for not recusing themselves and void their votes on the issues that they compromised with bribes and conflicts.
Roberts, Thomas, Barrett and Alito need to be trained, fully equipped, then sent to be the first ass-tronauts to land on the sun.
But at night, right, so they won't get burned?????? :-)
😂🤣🤣🤣
🤣 🤣 🤣
SCOTUS needs to be answerable to Congress and there needs to be term limits, such as 18 years, NOT lifetime appointments. Plus, corrupt SCOTUS justices need to be impeachable ASAP!
AOC and Jamie Raskin are trying to get it done
Every Trump family member that was in his administration during his 1st and hopefully only time in office should be investigated for treason, bribery, and high crimes. Any Republican that cries foul needs to be included in the fray. Full stop. Tired of the 💩. Once a felon always a felon!
And sent to Gitmo with Cuban guards.
WELL, THAT WOULD BE ONLY IVANKA AND JARED,AS DJT JUNIOR AND ERIC WERE ONLY "WHISPERING" IN HIS EAR AND NOT ACTUALLY AIDES,ADVISORS OR APPOINTED CABINET MEMBERS..YES,EVERY REPUBLICAN WHO HAS PROMOTED AND PUSHED HIS AGENDA,STOP THE STEAL,LIES, AND OF COURSE RAN AWAY ON JANUARY 6TH,BUT CAME BACK KISSING THE ROYAL TRUMP RING,SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED..UNFORTUNTATELY, THAT IS WISHFUL THINKING AS PROSECUTION AND JAIL TIME HAS BEN AVOIDED BY LOTS OF THOSE FOLKS,AND MR TRUMP IS DOING THAT HIMSLF,WITH DELAYS,JUDGES LIKE CANNON, AND OF COURSE THE SCOTUS!BIL BARR WAS ONE OF THE WORST, AND YET HE "LAWYER TALKED"HIS WAY OUT OF ALL THE THINGS HE DID FOR TRUMP..
Stop shouting!
Relax
I’m not shouting, I returned in kind.
Returning in kind
He says by shouting. 😉
To return my response in your FONT: WISHFUL THINKING IS ALL WE HAVE UNTIL THE ELECTION IS SAID AND DONE.
thank you marlene..its easy to do all caps and then halfway through say..oops..people should not be so preachy on that subject,when this is an adult conversation and caps or no caps,a position or a point is being made..the purpose of this blog is to read the truthful and "spot on" things mary trump has to say,and if we have an idea or an opinion,to voice it ...with all of the important things going on to comment on,correcting someone else should not be art of the discussion..
Caps lock is 1/32" inch to the left of the "A" key.
press it.
How about just a fair trial, then hang?
And is it true that he’s talking to Netanyahu to influence him to not accept ceasefire until after the elections. This is what republicans do.
Similarly to saint ronnie and the Iranian hostages.
Too sick for words.
Not tired of winning, donnie, tired of your whining.
Amen He whines more than a 13-year-old girl
Boys can whine too. Proof: Trump and most repugnants these days.
Sure they can, but I raised two girls ages 13 months apart, and I know whining!
Well, gee, I raised a boy and a girl seventeen months apart and neither of them hardly ever "whined."
Or boy. How about we just make it an adolescent who is bored?
They’re giving the jerk way too much credit, adolescent? No, he’s still stuck in toddler temper tantrums. Level of ability to “think” is that level too, an overly bright toddler, never advanced much further, except to chatter way too much. The body kept growing, what a mess.
Well-spoken, Mary. Thanks for tying it all together. That needed doing. I am still appalled that this global south behavior is happening in America. I believed our checks and balances would hold our government and our country together and protect us from all this shit. But, no, it’s infected all three branches. And there we have it Bright blessings!
The checks & balances worked when Nixon was forced to step down. I had a strong belief in our republic and democracy then. Today? A corrupt SCOTUS and a corrupt Republican Party hell bent on grabbing power and destroying our country in the process. My dad was a Republican and he would be appalled at what has happened to the party today. He would have admired Sen. McCain and Sen. Romney. Not the sycophants who call themselves GOP today.
Hopefully there will be criminal charges filed during the Harris administration over this. No Presidential immunity applies to acts taken before the election.
Or acts inconsistent with the oath of office (my take, anyway)
Nah. Democrats always decide to “move on” and “not look back” and just let republicans get away with everything.
No, we don't. That's called a slur. It takes 2/3s of the Senate to impeach. That's a pretty high bar. It was tried. The Democrats did their part, the MAGA party? They did what the felon told them to do.
We tried to impeach him. Twice. Look how MAGA lawmakers treated that.
Presidential immunity means that the president is above the law 🙄
oh so that’s why he touched the orb of evil
My very first thought was, holy shit. it's the eye of Sauron!
Add this to the list of acts perpetrated by an amoral man whose main goals are to 1). Stay out of jail and 2) enrich himself as much as possible at the expense of our country. How did the old GOP come under the influence of such evil and become MAGA?
I know it's hard to believe, but they weren't innocent little lambs being led blindly to the slaughterhouse. They were and are fully complicit, and apparently prepared to swear an oath to Donald Trump instead of the Constitution. They also seem willing to sacrifice our Democracy for him. I guess the question is are their voters also prepared to do that?
For that answer read Heather Cox Richardson's book "Democracy Awakening " , it's a great reminder of Republican Criminality. Ford pardons Nixon, GW Bush follows AG Bill Barr's recommendation and the convicted Reagan operatives in the Iran-Contra affair. These are 2 of the best known crimes.
I think I did read it, I’ll have to go back and re-read that part. It does sound familiar though. Thanks for the heads up.
Never discount stupidity as a reason
Careful there, you risk giving stupidity a bad name. 😉
Thom Hartman did a Substack recently about this. The common denominator was William Barr. Barry was called in by Reagan to shut down the Iran- Contra debacle where his campaign bribed Iran to hold the hostages. This would keep Carter from getting the credit and threw the election. Barr again called by Bush in the Iraq deception and by Donald when he was being investigated by the DOJ for this Egypt bribe. You are correct... he's going to get worse.
Barr managed to fool the press into deep sixing the mueller report.
Barr is still very active for Trump, defending some very corrupt people. It’s worth researching.
How does this Opus Dei member explain all this to "God?"
They imagine they know more than “God,” gets ‘em trouble every time.
Extreme Wealth and Criminals, Er, I mean, Politicians Are Always The RULE.
Who in our government can prosecute Trump for bribery now?? How high in the government do we have to go to get justice for this thieving, lying scum. Will someone find that he had his ex-wife Ivanka murdered? Maybe she knew too much about more of his previous crimes. Who knows? She was found dead in her home with no witnesses. He is so shady and has no loyalty to anyone. His family covers and lies for him. Just so they can keep taking his money. Keep him away from our government!!!!
I knew the moment he had his slimy hands on that absurd globe with his wicked smirk that something very corrupt was going on and he knew he was getting away with it. Just like I knew when Bill Clinton was all charged up with that cigar in his mouth that that cigar was not just a cigar. I even told my sister, “theres something sexual going on with that cigar the way his eyes are lit and his whole body is laughing.”. My sister responded “You’ e always been able to zone in in those sexual vibes even as a child.” Yep. Its like a neon light flashing.
Funny, how some people keep coming back to Bill Clinton. Tell me, did it have anything to do with the running of the country? Did it effect our foreign policy. Did he hold secret meetings with one of our oldest enemies in the Oval Office without US translators? Did he steal documents?
To all of the above? The answer is NO. So I'm going to say what Shirley MacLaine said about JFK, "I don't care who the President f*cks, as long as he doesn't f*ck over the country." Can't say that about the turd or the MAGA party can we?
So maybe it's time we invoke the Tim Walz statement and apply it to Pres. Clinton and we mind our own damn business.
Turned out that many of the GOP House impeachment managers trying to crucify Clinton had had extramarital affairs themselves. GOP is hypocrisy blind, immune to irony, and is morally bankrupt.
In France (at least) extra-marital relationships are considered a normal perk of office. I agree with your sentiments as expressed by Tim Walz, “Mind your own damn business!” It’s worth reminding everyone that Clinton’s impeachment was straight-up political; it had nothing to do with running (or selling out) the country. The contrast with Don-old couldn’t be any starker.
At the time, Ken Starr was at the top of my most-wanted list for his authorship of the hit-job “Starr Report” that formed the basis for Clinton’s impeachment. What an evil man; ended up years later resigning in disgrace from the presidency and chancellorship of Baylor University for his mishandling of multiple sexual-assault allegations on campus, only to be picked up by Don-old as one of his defense attorneys during his first impeachment.
“Only the best people.” —DJT
I’m not buying this. Clinton was stupid enough to fuck around with a young intern in the oval office and he tried to lie his way out of it. Had he resigned, as he should have, then Albert Gore would have been the president for about a year before the election. That year would have given Gore the time to build enough political strength to defeat GW Bush with sufficient margin to avoid handing the decision over to a corrupt Supreme Court. Had Gore been president, we wouldn’t have had the Iraq war. I hold Bill Clinton responsible for the Iraq war.
The Iraq war? The name you want is BUSH. Remember him? He was AWOL for 18 months during Viet Nam. Your entire premise lacks merit. Gore caused the question to go to the Supreme Court. My, such anger for something you have so misunderstood as to be.....sad.
And for soooooo long. Yikes
Ha Ha Sounds like a sister.
If the American people are sufficiently stupid to elect a convicted felon, they deserve what they get. Personally I think the vast majority of the electorate are not that stupid. I expect Harris/Walz will win the popular vote by many millions of votes. My fear is that after the election is over, and Harris/Walz have won the maggots who wrote and have planned their response will force the vote to the House of Representatives and no matter which party is in control they will declare themselves the winner as planned.
But the rest of the world doesn’t deserve a fascist America as bad as the rest may be! No one does!
SO WELL WRITTEN! Succinct, clear and to the point--no padding. Truth, kiddo! You're walking the walk!!
Note: Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., was recently found guilty on all counts after being tried on charges of accepting substantial bribes from Egypt (and Quatar). He's resigning as senator. Is jail in his future? Seems a good precedent. Trump next?
Finally. Jeez, I'm sick of hearing about his crimes. He's like another Santos.
Oh let’s hope so!!
Good Day. If there was anyone in law enforcement, government and civilian, that really gave a damn, Donald would have been in prison years ago. No One that matters has or will do anything about his crimes or his treason. Our Nation Appears To Be Terminal. Only if November Brings A Vaccination, Or Mother Nature Does Her Job.
