Congressman Jeffries seems to be an intelligent man of convictions. I appreciate him. But I'd appreciate him more if he was out on the road fighting for hearts and minds in red districts.
Then urges everyone to buy. I thought market manipulation was illegal.
But he gutted the FTC
So convenient.
America’s Hitler doing Hitler things.
Trump sold himself as a racist. People don't want to admit this, so they claim it is his business acumen that attracted them. Do his voters want to bankrupt America? No, but they are more concerned about black and brown people moving to their neighborhood.
It's likely the tariffs are a scheme to either make money by damaging the stock market to buy stocks at today damaged price than two days ago or it's a scheme to reduce or eliminate income tax on the ultra wealthy proclaiming they are collecting the money from the tariffs which redistributes
wealthy from the average American to the ultra wealthy. If you made a million dollars, you'd rather pay the same nat'l sales tax indirectly with all other Americans than pay income tax on your income. Or this damage is intended because of Trump loyalty to Putin & other non democracies.
Johnson and Thune could put a stop to this.
With such a slim margin and incumbent unpopularity, I do not see how control of the House does not change next year. This dude isn’t Speaker material, however. He has been lackluster in moments when it’s mattered. Someone really needs to step up and challenge him when the time comes.
Blah, blah, blah. We all know this. What's going to be done about it?
Mark Burnett (who made "The Apprentice") bears huge responsibility for the fact that many Americans believe the "Trump is a good businessman" fiction.
trump will give it, his best shot.
Do you think it’s his mission sent by Putin to accomplish? Either he is that stupid or that seditious, either way Congress needs to stop him, today!!
A little louder for the people in back!!
🤬 #fdt
Can we please get him out and put Kamala Harris in???? There has to be a way, some way. He’s burning our whole country down.
No we can’t. Sorry. There’s no way except for impeachment. GOP has already shown they don’t have the spine to convict him. We get to sit, watch, & be hurt. Maybe just maybe the GOP might start to stand up against him. At that point maybe impeachment will succeed. Until then we watch the country burn
That business model does not work in government. Who is going to pull us out of bankruptcy besides the most devious person in the world? His plan is not for us & we need to hit the reset button.
Would be interesting to see how many cabinet members, GOP Congressmen and DJT’s family and associates dumping stock prior to the announcement. Hope some investigative journalist (if any left and not nuted) will get onto it.
The cruelty has always been the point. At first it was hurt the libs, then hurt the immigrants. Now Trump has found a way to hurt the whole world. He must be so happy with himself.
💯 He LOVES hurting everyone, anyone and anything!!
This has been evident since the '80's.
To King Joffrey! Long may he reign!!
Oh… Now you want to Cory Booker. Took you long enough.
I think it’s because of the fake edited TV world of The Apprentice. MAGA can’t tell make believe from reality.
Ok. Bill Clinton signed NAFTA and closed 90K manufacturing plants and Obama bailed out the banks not Americans. Stop fucking working for the 1%.
Trying???
Do something already!
They are. When will you get a clue? How the fuck is teamwork supposed to work if it's April and you can't use the internet?
Jeffries can suck my dick
If Israel tells him to he will
Donnie Don’t Economy
Wow, Jeffries finally caught on to what has been going on, huh? Wait until he figures out that Trump is stealing money from the Treasury at the same time. Millions, 100s of millions.
Felon47 belongs in prison not the Whitehouse..
The casinos didn't go bankrupt, his mob partners made him their useful idiot and busted them out Goodfellows style. "It's a fucking shame".
* Bandy Lee DOCTOR OF MEDICINE MASTER OF DIVINITY * One of the earliest to issue warnings about the Trump presidency, the editor of ‘The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump’ says now the dangers are greater than ever: * bsky.app/profile/band...
I'd be happy if this came from my neighbors, but disappointed in this from democratic leadership, lacks passion and will only resonate with the already convinced
Get rid of the flags as backdrop please. It looks fascist.
the boy has his marching orders. The problem is the orders didn't come from us
Did Jeffries just landed on earth or was this recorded in 2017?
Can we please stop putting Jeffries in front of a camera already.
Spoken just like I would expect Nancy's handpicked leader would handle things. Tired of the leadership of this party. If you can't figure it out, step aside and let someone else at least try. Biden literally did it, and he was president. It feels like they want to be losers forever.
Dr. Steven Hassan has stated that the magas have been in a hypnotic state after all the decades of fox media and others. So what’s the antidote?
Reminds me of DeNiro in “The King Of Comedy”
The thing about the bankruptcies is unpersuasive to a lot of people because the dude is obviously rich. Better to point out that he was given the inflation-adjusted equivalent of half a billion dollars. He is not the self-made man and business genius depicted on “The Apprentice.”
You know, Harris wouldn’t have destroyed our retirement accounts, but my god can you imagine what a distraction her pantsuits would’ve been! I’ll take the former any day.
THOSE PENGUINS BETTER PAY UP!!!!!!
“There will be blood” one analyst say’s Impeach the M..f@&k
Conned by a con man
Somehow? Shows how out of touch Democratic leadership is if they don’t recognize that reality TV and The Apprentice are largely responsible for giving Trump credibility (and bailing him out financially)
The US was given much and now it's coming around to its Consequences ( what it did to Black and Native peoples and the oppression of Black and Native peoples that still goes on today
And white people this is Not for you you're NOT Oppressed you have Never been Oppressed you have had Everything handed to you in the US and throughout the World for Generations but you Spewed Hatred and Bigotry ( Everywhere you went)
He’s not ‘trying’
Russia is in the inside now! Wake up folks. This is NOT A DRILL!
Anyone regrouping and mobilizing to stop him and this madness?
He’s really good at recaps.
Hillary said this during the debates in 2015
Can’t we get the market to close tomorrow?
YES, Trump sees political/$ gain in running the US economy into the ground: those who grant him favors like contributing to his coffers will have their tariffs/EOs lifted. Corruption impure & simple.
Imagine the dirt that Putin has on Trump. It has to be extremely awful. Way worse that anybody could imagine.
President Convicted Felon is a Putin hack and an immediate 5 ALARM 🔥 🚨 🔥 he’s not trying to destroy America, he’s bent on it. Disappear 🫠 this criminal.
…all true, he did up-sell himself…but maybe we need to understand and fix why Americans were in the market to buy?
I'm tired of the fucking whining ...goddamit....do something...do something...for fucks sake.
Holy shit, you mean this son of a bitch was just pitching us amway the whole damn time! And here we thougth we were getting the businss opportunity of a lifetime. Instead we have a closet full of bullshit books and tapes. Next we'll be told we cant use the timeshare.
bsky.app/profile/book...
The failure of the press and democrats for 10 years to get that point to sink in with voters is astounding. They keep on saying ‘he’s failed’ ‘bankruptcy’ but people don’t get it because they see him in a mansion but they never try a different tactic.
Wow. Tough talk. Instead, maybe do something. Organize Democratic politicians so that the message is aligned and cohesive.
Jeffries needs to resign and let someone with a backbone take his place. 😡
Nobody cares what you say now asshole
I expect he will!!!
Bankruptcy laws need to change.
Say it in three sentences and we will have something
Why didn't you make this pitch 10 or 20 times a day during 2024?
What about the Gold Card?!?! $5M for citizen ship because yeah people who can afford this are automatically good for our country…puh-lease!!
He's a man who is lucky he got out of grade school.
There is nothing to speculate here. Without The Apprentice, Trump would never have been elected.
I was telling people this in early 2016. News media is corrupt.
I appreciate that Hakeem Jeffries and others, are doing interviews for MeidasTouch
They're finally starting to figure out we don't trust the mainstream media anymore.
🇺🇸
He is not "trying"! He is doing it!
he is also a failed president, a failed husband, and a con
Takes a special kind of stupid to fall for that one.
And you are going to do about this??? I don't need mansplaining. I need some kind of action. Impeachment, anyone? I know there is a lawsuit now, but crashing the market is an act of war against the American people. He is a domestic terrorist!
Those of us who aren’t morons knew this!
While the old trope about Nero fiddlin' whilst Rome burned isn't true, the convicted felon Donald Krasnov Trump is golfin' while he craters the economy and ruins the greatest country on the face of the planet because he is Putin's bitch. If this nation survives they won't need to hear about Nero
this can be seen from outerspace... but, thanks.
And what do you do about that
Jeffries has weekly press conferences where he details House Democratic plans. I post a breakdown of them each week on my feed. That's one place to find the info.
Sure wish Jeffries had an anger setting higher than "do not resuscitate"
I love Jeffries! Too bad he’s bought and paid for by AIPAC! Does he have our best interest or is it his cover?
"Give Trump some credit"; his diet is leverage. "Give Trump a break;" you can't expect monogamy. "Give Trump forgiveness;" the bizarro-Christ demands it.
Yes. Obviously
Doing a pretty good job of it too.
yeah... Jeffries hasn't done "America" any favors, either. i am so god-damned tired of hearing "we MUST do something" and then all i hear is excuses as to why nothing can be done. in 4 years, there was not ONE piece of legislation passed to prevent the things happening today. not the first piece.
Jeffries CONSTANTLY in catch-up mode, only to put something out that's 8 years out-of-date. Pathetic
We need to stop saying he’s a failed businessman and realize that bankruptcy is his business. It’s the business model. Talk a big game-Get funding-hire a bunch of workers-light a match-file bankruptcy-slide out with all the cash. And now we’re his business. 😥
Please convince enough H R's to remove his highness, immediately and then enough S R's. Thank you.
We are so fed up of this stupidity. Unnecessary boring stupidity
You give him too much credit. I don't think he's even trying. It's simply what he does best: FAILS.
MAGA is insulated from reality. We the People are not. THIS, is your work.
He’s always operated this way. The history is there -it’s always been there. Follow the money.
Impeach trump.
The tariffs, economic crash, systemic dysfunction, default, and collapse are means to a far more hideous end for dark MAGA: putting an end to democracy, which they see as outdated and unfit-for-purpose, and replacing it with technofeudalism, where they make all the rules, and Christian nationalism.
He is bigly successful at bankrupting!
This all proves that Trump is truely not well in his mind! He should be taken out of the Whitehouse immediately for our Democracy to be saved! His despicable decisions are phycologicaly unstable! For him to listen to a toxic conspiracy theorist proves he's unfit to be our President! 🤬😬
Even successful businessmen should not be allowed to run the government.
Because then when things are in tatters it's a fire sale for him, he can buy everything up.
Pretty much he has for regular Americans watch his billionaires scoop up the stock market bargains
Damn straight Trump and his Oligarch friends are profiting off of this tragedy.
Stop trump from ruining MY country!
Our country needs to unplug from "Reality TV" Nothing real about it.
Yes, so now what.
Quit complaining and DO something about it, Congressman! The power of the purse resides solely in the HOUSE, a coequal branch of government. Imposing tariffs is a CONGRESSIONAL power.
Jeffries needs to do something other than just talk. Try something within the powers of congress - Republicans were able to stop things when they were in the minority. Do something please!
The right is cooking up a surprising legal fight against Trump’s tariffs www.vox.com/scotus/40719...
Trump Airlines Trump Steaks Trump Casino's Trump University Trump Mortgage To name a few 🤨
Not going to happen. We have weak leaders
Find me the GOP House members who will vote to bring the articles of impeachment and the GOP Senate members who will vote to convict. They already had two chances to do so and well...
The casino was a public company and here is how his stock did compared to the others in the industry. His bad management bankrupted the company and all the shareholders lost their money.
We New Yorkers knew this all along. It's the cult followers who drank the freaking poison.
Did everyone forget what happened last time he was President? He bankrupted the country and gave us all a weird disease 🦠
He sold them on hate. Thinking he “convinced voters” of anything other than hating the same people is a fool’s errand. Recognize the battle you are fighting: mobilized grievances aimed at scapegoats. Again: MAGAts love to eat shit. We love ice cream. We can’t convince them to switch. Facts. Sad!
Seems to track along Trump's downward trajectory when it comes to businesses.
He's a failed businessman who was bailed out by Russians. See the connection.
Massive layoff's around the Nation and the worlds American supply chain. Counter Tariffs, New Trade alliances against us. The stock Market s still in freefall... Four Americans soldiers died in Lithuania... And Nero is Golfing

I've known since the mid-80s that he's not as rich as he claims when his plane got impounded for not paying the hangar rent.
And if that wasn't bad enough, he's arguably the least intelligent person in the fucking universe. Oh, and he's orange. So...there's that.
Who Voted for the trumpa-loompa? How do you like him Now? So Much BETTER then Biden isn't he? Hows your Job? Hows your Retirement Account? How are Your INVESTMENTS? How's INFLATION going You Got what you Voted For. Nice Job Owning the Libs you Fucking MORONS. In the Words of My Mother... FUCK YOU!
While the country burns Donald Trump is getting ready for the release party for his $5M gold cards for any international criminals who want to become Americans citizens.
Today, I lost $30,000 in my retirement funds. DOGE & Musk make noises about taking away social security. The seething anger at Republicans in Congress for not standing up to this madness is beyond appalling. Do something, say something, be something. Time 4 serious, sustained civil action NOW. 👊🏻
Jeffries: wrapped up in four flags, doing nothing as usual. Captain Complacency sitting on his well feathered nest until the midterms. What a bitch.
Cory Booker just supported a genocide. Again. But boy he can talk a looong time give him a medal.
Not trying but succeeding. Get him out immediately. Take back the tariffs. He had no power to impose them. Reverse them immediately. Then impeach him or Amendment 25 him. When people lose hope you get the French Revolution. The May replace Spence’s name for Trump.
without his dad's money and the rigged-for-rich-white-men american justice system, Trump would be in jail most of his life
vile pig. just so vile. put him on a train. take all his clothes and belongings. Shave his head and bend him over and then look up his arse. And then...after that humiliation, send him to a shower where there isn't any water...just the fumes of the dangerous and deadly gases filling his nostrils
And he's doing an admirable job. Ask Vlad.
Donald J.Trump is not a Business Man, he's a Grifter, Con Man .
This is true. I see Trump supporters convinced Trump is a savvy businessman who would do the same thing for the US. They don't believe that he declared bankruptcy six times. All they see is the star of "The Apprentice."
It's his hobby, like golf.
Somehow?
Next time, DNC. Don't hand pick your leaders. It never works out.
DNC has been just one big party that we paid for. $2bn in funding them parties since 2016. Fire them all.
He's a shitty and corrupt business man!
Yeah we know. Unless you have a concrete plan to combat all of this STFU and resign @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. @aoc.bsky.social is already in the house and we the people would prefer her leadership to your feckless shit.
Jeffries is a MAGA bitch
Every fucking time there's a Jeffries post there's a swarm of trolls and the "do something!" nutcases. And I hope to fucking god that they are all trolls because it is unimaginable for it to be 2025 w/ folks completely incapable of learning basic sh!t after over 8wks.
Jeffries has weekly press conferences. Democrats have youtube channels that anyone can subscribe to. Schiff, Crockett, Whitehouse and others have presentations in numerous places throughout social media where they teach people about what's going on and what the Dems are doing.
There is NO fucking excuse to be obliviousAF other than to cause trouble and sabotage the fight against Fascism. I hold you and anyone who can't get a clue accountable for failing to do your due diligence. It is April, not January. Inexcusable unless you were in a coma.
I had no idea Jeffries was doing these I’ll be documenting them from this point forward so there’s clarity behind his position. Instead of just catching him on podcasts if he’s covered. open.substack.com/pub/aleister...
Oh cool, thanks! I also do a weekly write-up, but it is good to have multiple perspectives on the same material for sure. 🫡
I will check it out. I definitely learned a ton of useful strategic info from tuning in each week. He's been doing some of that "Shadow Cabinet" Fake News debunking, too--which is great.
It’s just a recap of the press conference so people can get clarity of where Jeffries is at. We need to push for the fairness doctrine to be re-instated so fake news doesn’t profit off of nuking the minds of Americans and giving us what we have now.
Thank you for the work you do and the awareness you bring I don’t want to step on any toes just to help in this fight.
You are welcome to step on my toes however much you like. I'm not a champion of the concept of "ego." 🫠 Moreover, I think it is helpful to have multiple perspectives because my way of doing things usually does not have broad, far-reaching, popular appeal.
Some people work better from other formats and other frames, presentation styles--and so on.
I think we desperately need to start teaching civics in school again. People have no idea how government works. And they are lazy AF. No one reads, no one checks facts, they want to be spoon fed everything. Actually, that is how Trump got elected. Thank you.
YES yes and YES!!
Jeffries is a coward.
Fine. He's really fucked up. Now WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO? I'm tired of the handwringing. Start talking to your colleagues on the other side of the aisle and come up with a plan.
Jeffries “colleagues on the other side of the aisle” are afraid of Trump and MAGA constituents and won’t stand up to either. They also out number Jeffries’ side of the aisle and don’t even have to talk to Jeffries let alone “come up with a plan.” Question, can you share ideas for what you want done?
Then make it worth their while. Negotiate. Do your fucking job, Jeffries. And they barely outnumber the Dems…
It's difficult to fight a dictator. Y'all should have listened to Harris and Obama when they warned you about Trump, the con and felon.
It's time senators try to create dialog amongst each other. The Dems should sit with the people in C-suites of major corporations and illustrate what could happen when the congress flips...and it will flip. tRump is not going to be the godfather past 2026.
He’s just using his career experience. There are likely not many people as qualified as him to bankrupt the largest economy in history. They say that you should always do what you know well 🤷🏻♂️
He is not trying to actually. But being stupid, uninformed and surrounded by a cult that will be the result. The people around him will never tell him the truth and in his own eyes this is working out great. Now watch this drive….
How can anyone believe a word Trump says?
Trump's followers will chase any limousine down the street as long as the penny candy being tossed out the windows and onto the street keep coming.
We know all that Jeffries--EFFING DO SOMETHING TO STOP HIM--NOW.
In other words, WATER IS WET. Thank you for pointing the obvious, Sherlock!
Someone has to say it! For those in the back with the red hats.
He bankrupted a casino. A casino! That’s quite an achievement 🤣
And now he intends to do the same to the US.
Multiple times!!
Yes he is. And we need to ask ourselves why? Is it tied to Putin?
Somehow there is money to send to Israel?!!! Do something dammit!
Too bad a significant portion of US voters never listened to anything factual about the felonious psychopathic rapist over the past decades(s) and voted for him based on moronic fantasy. His crimes have not been hidden from the public and span decades.
My mom said, "yeah, but he always lands on his feet." 🙄. Why can't she realize it's always at someone else's expense?
He’s gotta be working for the Russians!
Not "somehow". This false image of the felon was created by those who came up with his lame "reality" show, pushing him as some kind of business genius. Smart businessmen do not repeatedly file for bankruptcy.
And buy the dip
thank you for this video i needed something to help me sleep
Too many words. Make it simple. "Trump doesn't know what he's doing and he's crashing our economy to help his donors " that's all you need.
Oh yes House Minority Speaker Obvious and Senate Minority Leader Obvious. Always on the spot with their statements that are Fucking Obvious, all the while doing absolutely nothing to combat what's going on. Resign Immediately @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov
-9 Trillion $
Thank all of your friends and family for having X, iPhone, Amazon, Tesla and facebooking us out of office
🎯🎯🎯💯💯
Putin helped Fox News helped Oligarchs helped He’s had plenty of help.
That he won the popular vote indicates the country is morally and spiritually bankrupt. And absolutely fucking stupid.
We already know this. Please convince your Republican colleagues.
The bankruptcy king is not only taking the US economy down..he's taking the world's economy down..the idiot has put tariffs on uninhabited islands, oceans & the Sahara desert...Go MAGA...your king is a total fuckup..AGAIN! Just say no to inbreeding republicans..
These Dems just can’t be bold & direct in all their speech. These times call for it! Prime example here: WEAK SPEECH: “and now DT is trying to literally bankrupt America.” BOLD SPEECH: “President Trump IS bankrupting America.”
When you order Obama from Temu
The proof of his business failures was well documented before even 2016.
He also sold himself to some of the scions of Wall Street. Jamie Dimond comes to mind.!
i think bankrupting America makes Trump eligible for tax write offs in Russia.
Do something.
Stop reporting the news, dems!! We're all kind of up to date already. DO SOMETHING!!
dude has weekly press conferences. You can learn what they are doing easily. It's 2025. Get a clue.
He says trying like Trump isn’t already succeeding. If there’s one thing Trump is good at, it’s failing Americans.
Because people believed that The Apprentice was real.
He wants to rob the treasury
Every success Hitler had gave him power and made him feel righteous. He was given this power by people who sat around and did nothing. Trump is the same. Everyday he escapes public scrutiny and responsibility he feels more righteous about his actions.
Have you read his “beautiful bill”? Some points there are literally new “Ermächtigungsgesetz“ or „Enabling Act“. I understand why Germany moved that way. But I can’t explain why the US did it. No war lost, no hyperinflation, growing economic, friends all over the world. Are the people just dumb AF?
Cambridge Analytica took our data to purge voters strategically in 2016 which gave him a win. They recreated the purge for the last election using data from Elon/Twitter/FB and billionaires. I don’t believe he won fairly. They just know where to purge voters.
Sure it wasn’t fair at all. People vote blue for Senate, but red for President??? That’s the same as if I buy me a Mustang, but tank it diesel because it’s cheaper.
Truly, he doesn’t care, because the people backstopping him are such old money and power, that he has very little fear of anyone doing anything to him, under their protection. demodirge.substack.com/p/meet-the-m...

Why are GOP Senators sitting on their hands and giving away their oversight power? None of the potential answers are good: 1) Dark Money via Citizens United (foreign & domestic) 2) Fear of MAGA extremist threats (tacit or spoken) 3) To keep their seat (what’s the point if enabling authoritarianism?)

You’re Absolutely Right!! My father told me All about it as he lived in Germany during the 2ndWW and then i read about it until i had nightmares.
And thinks of more of what he can do to make our lives suffer & more stressful. He is far from righteousness - He is evil!
