Funny how he always does Putin’s bidding—and America gets nothing in return. But what does Trump get?

The emergency powers Trump used to justify tariffs require a REAL crisis, like a natural disaster, a war, or a terrorist attack. No such emergency exists, so he invented an apocalyptic fantasy where nearly every nation on earth is our enemy. All this for what??? Just to tax the shit out of us?!? 😠
He’s a Nazi who looks like a Nazi.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Trump isn’t being “played” by Putin. Trump works for Putin.
Sadly, this SCOTUS is full of people who also feed at the Fox slop trough.
This has such Pyongyang vibes. Just disgusting public butt kissing.
They win by uniting all the anti-Trumpers. MAGA works at dividing us, we need all hands on deck (for every corner of opposition) to defeat Fascism.
Actually WWII was preceded by a famously poor “land for peace deal” over the Sudetenland. “Peace in our Time,” indeed. Ask Native Americans how land for peace deals work out.
If the Democrats had four or five Joe Manchins in the Senate from mostly conservative states like WV, then the fascist revolution we are living through today wouldn’t be happening. AOC couldn’t win in WV. Manchin couldn’t win in NYC. That’s fine. In a two-party system the parties should be broad.
Agreed. Homeless is also relatable and understandable. As a kid I heard/used those other terms until homeless became the standard in the 80s. (Which happened in part because mental health institutions were shut down and the homeless became visible.)
Homeless was the PC replace for uglier terms like vagrants, hoboes, or bums.
Be careful out there, Adam. Prayers for you and for others who dare to dissent.
Probably a press gaggle to announce some new egregious bit of fascism.
If you aren’t uncomfortable learning our country’s history, you are learning propaganda.
You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.
Both things can be true. Dear Leader has expedited our descent into fascism as deflection from Epstein files…but the plan hasn’t changed. Just the timing.
The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.
Trump announce he will be raising furniture prices for Americans
I guarantee you that none of the men who paid for sex with the girls Maxwell and Epstein trafficked were roofers looking for work at a Home Depot
Slavery. Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes. IT WAS BAD, YOU DUMB FUCKS.
Dear Leader has such a great track record with stocks. He took the first DJT to zero in the 1990s. The “new” DJT has lost about 65% of its peak valuation. What could go wrong?
1. She was offered immunity to discuss Epstein. Good for perjury? 2. She wants a pardon from Trump. 3. After the interview Trump already did her a lot of favors. Wonder why?? 4. If you believe anything this child sex trafficker says, unfollow me, you're either MAGA, or you've lost your goddamn mind.
Canyon, Texas. Cops taking down "Trump is on the Epstein List" banner. Release the unredacted #EpsteinFiles via u/PALERIDE155
Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck anyone who wants to erase slavery from American history. Fuck anyone who wants our museums to empathize the “good” aspects of slavery. Fuck anyone who can’t handle the truth about slavery. Slavery was bad. It was evil. And fuck anyone who disagrees.
Don't say "birthing person." Don't say "incarcerated person." Don't say "the unhoused." Don't say "chest feeding." Don't say "centering. Don't say "Latinx." When voters hear this, they think Democrats are out of touch crazy people. Just talk normal. Be normal.
Putin meets alone with Trump. A week later, US intelligence is gutted by Tulsi Gabbard. FBI goes after John Bolton. Had Putin ordered it through Amazon, could not have been more efficient.
Y'all recall when conservatives were all about a smaller Federal government? LOL Now they want the most powerful Federal gov't ever conceived. Something even the boldest of big government liberals from days past wouldn't have dreamed about. An all encompassing Fed gov't and all powerful President.
But “Communist” Mamdani wants to open 5 grocery stores in a city of 9.5 million people!! I don’t live in NYC and Mamdani isn’t my cup of tea…but the hypocrisy of today’s GOP knows no bounds.
Remember when the Tea Party cried about TARP bailing out banks? The vast majority of those “bailouts” were loans that were paid back with interest. There were limited cases of TARP funds being used to take equity (“Government Motors) but that was for big employers facing bankruptcy in a crisis.
The U.S. now owns 10% of INTEL. MAGA communism is real.
We haven’t had a conservative political party in America in a long time. GOP is just Christo-fascist authoritarians nowadays.
Chairman Mao touts his state-run economy
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
The thing about John Bolton is Donald Trump is all over the Epstein files.
Surprised the bone spurs allow such dangerous active duty.
🚨A judge called out the DOJ for not releasing the Epstein files. He said the DOJ could release 100K+ pages of interviews & warrants right now. No need for a judge to approve. You say you want transparency? Release. The. Epstein. Files.
Jeffrey Epstein survivor Jane Doe 15 shares her harrowing story when she was just a teen. Her account adds to the growing list of allegations against Epstein, highlighting the horrific manipulation and abuse he inflicted on children! Release the Epstein files!!
Btw, Newsom is mocking Trump. He’s not copying him.
This isn’t a manpower issue. Local PDs can’t prosecute homeless for what in the past was called vagrancy. SCOTUS overruled many local laws. It costs too much to imprison them, and the country lacks the resources/will to house them or provide mental health help. Trump just wants to Nazify cities.
Actually, our taxes only cover mandatory spending (SS, Medicare, Medicaid, interest, and govt/military pensions). The rest of the budget (as in all federal agencies and the military) and all that Nazi stuff you mentioned is paid for with more debt.
Conference of Champions
We've officially reached the "show me your papers" phase of Trump's fascist takeover.
Fewer consumers, fewer workers, fewer babies. A great recipe to shrink the GDP. What a bunch of morons.
Wow! Let me know where I can get a wrap for just $2.99 these days!
I remember when we had a conservative, limited-government party in the USA. It’s been a decade or more without one.
Can you describe the president's perspective on taking a stake on Intel in exchange for federal grants? Are we expecting to see the white house make similar arrangements with other companies? Leavitt: It is a creative idea that has never been done before China, Russia, NK… all are cry-laughing
I call on Putin to release the Epstein files.
In case anyone's confused, yes, slavery was bad.
Hmmm…Boston Coffee Party?
Museums, well known for having exhibits about the future
No wait…wasn’t it China?
Damn socialists!
Rubio talking about the war as if it just happened like a hurricane or earthquake. This was not an act of God—it was the act of an aggressor to whom Trump defers. Every. Single. Time.
As the needle was methodically applying the ink to this man’s belly—the inspiration he no doubt had was “one day I may be on MIB social media with this tat!” Mission accomplished!
Let him play 36 holes every day. He’s less dangerous on the golf course than in the White House!
Background in real estate is just perfect for negotiating cease fire agreements, peace treaties, etc. So thankful we don’t have trained negotiators with a background in military affairs and Eastern European politics and culture. It would be a disaster to have someone knowledgeable negotiating!
I wish he golfed with every damn day. He does less damage on the links than in he Oval.
Epstein clients arrested: 0
Missed on Biden—he’s a ‘Vette guy!
And these are the people advocating home schooling!
If you can’t take advice on election integrity from a Russian autocrat, to what higher authority can you go?
He is absolutely amoral. The crimes and immorality that you reference completely fail to register on a man with no moral compass.
Gotta impress the boss.
Is her drunkenness ever in question?
As the great philosopher Elihu Smails noted years ago, “It’s easy to grin when your ship’s come in…”
Is today Ghislaine Maxwell’s spa day or yoga class?
Note to Kristi Noem: It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.
Chance of meaningful penalty…zero point zero
Always has been. And he raped young girls.
And he’s working on it with Elizabeth Holmes.
Didn’t Oregon GOP legislators do the same thing in 2019? Also, what crime has been committed? The “arrest warrants” are civil warrants that compel the members to get to the capitol. They don’t face criminal charges or incarceration under TX law. How on earth would this justify FBI involvement?
No crime has been committed, much less a federal crime. Using state power to play politics is criminal - even if it won’t be prosecuted.
You can’t put a lid on science. The research and development will occur in Europe, UK and China while we continue with mid-20th century vaccine tech (which the anti-vaxxers don’t like either!).
Can the State of NY prosecute her after she is pardoned? Could they subpoena DOJ files and depose DOJ staff and former staff?

I’ve talked with local cops who report no increase in street prices or availability of narcotics since Trump admin sealed borders. Hmmmm, maybe it was just about keeping brown people out?
And they said it couldn’t be done!
Typical breaking “business” news on Faux Business network. Not sure how Hilary’s emails tie into this quarter’s earnings reports—but I’m sure they’ll tie together somehow…
The “pulling demand forward” story of pre-tariff purchasers doesn’t seem to explain the steep drop in consumer spending. And, that happened more on the wholesale side of the economy than the retail side. Stagflation appears to be coming. But…Dear Leader will claim victory when the Fed cuts rates.
Trump talks about tariffs as if they are “bringing in” money from overseas. Sadly, many morons believe that.
Revisions have always occurred. They’ve gotten more significant (in both directions) since COVID when many businesses stopped replying to surveys. The revisions are the reason NBER always seems so slow to call recessions. To get truly accurate data you need hard payroll data, not surveys.
Adversaries can just check Hegseth’s Signal account for the exact locations of Dear Leader is being too vague.
While I absolutely HATE gerrymandering (which leads to polarization in BOTH parties and underrepresents moderates); I think right now it’s the only chance to fight back against GOP authoritarianism. I say this knowing there is not a way to unwind it short (unlikely) of constitutional amendments.
Utah…
Today would be a good day to release the Epstein Files. Unredacted. In their entirety.
Have talked with small business owners in varied industries like structural steel and auto glass who buy from domestic suppliers. They report price increases in lockstep with tariffs as domestic suppliers raise prices in response to their foreign competitors being forced to raise prices. Predictable
We’ve never, ever had a president who lies as much as Donald Trump lies. Not even close. Trump lies as he breathes. By voting for him, Trump voters told the entire world that telling the truth doesn’t matter. Trump voters have given permission to all future candidates to lie at will. That’s too bad.
I’ve known Ted socially for about 25 years. Supported him early on when he was running for Senate. I thought he was smart and would be a thoughtful conservative who could harness some Tea Party energy to something useful. I was very wrong. I haven’t given him any money or other support in a decade.
What VV said….
It’s a real political crisis. But the half of voters who live in the Fox universe are blithely unaware of the rising authoritarianism. The folks who are rightly concerned about the attack on Democracy will turn out. Getting others to turn out is the key. If the Kitchen Table is the draw, so be it.
The 👏 president 👏 has 👏 neither 👏 statutory 👏 nor 👏 constitutional 👏 authority 👏 to 👏 unilaterally 👏 negotiate 👏 “trade deals”
And domestic manufacturers have raised prices through the protection offered by tariffs. Free trade for free people!
The economy is so strong…so we have to cut??? The illogic is really powerful with Trump.
He is known to lie. He’s also a rapist.
