“By the time he had become a reality show star, Trump had blown through his $400 million inheritance and bankrupted most of his businesses; he needed the NBC pay check and so did his kids. That’s why they all ended up on the show. Think about how many children of actual billionaires are appearing on game shows judging which celebrity has a better pop-up shop in Times Square? They’re usually riding dressage horses or sailing catamarans in Monaco - enjoying the fruits of their trust funds. Trump brought his kids to work and made sure they got paid, down to daily cash per diems. This was my first clue that they were nowhere near the billionaires they claimed to be - and the TV show was essentially going along with a fraud. Even the furniture in his Trump Tower office was so threadbare that Mark Burnett had to rent furniture for the taping of the show. The famous boardroom was a set recreated on a soundstage. DJT’s kids were like ‘Succession’ without the actual success. Sure, they possessed all the arrogance and entitlement but they had never truly struck pay dirt until now. And once again, they are ALL getting in on the act. The world is already paying a huge price for their unbridled greed. The money they are stealing belongs to all of us. Even Barron Trump was taken out of NYU and moved into the family quarters at the White House where he silently and out of sight places bets on oil futures and his father’s military maneuvers. They needed someone who could react in minutes, without any sort of paper trail or phone or text communication, before his father’s social media posts - that in these tumultuous times have the power to move markets in an instant. They are making a killing while our military does the actual killing. Innocent lives are being lost so one family can lie and cheat and trade on their access to enrich and engorge themselves on the spoils of war. Not a thought for the suffering and misery caused by their unbridled greed and the actions of their incompetent, immoral and completely corrupt father. When I worked around the Trump family, I observed a people so detached from their father’s wickedness, so accustomed to his misdeeds and malfeasance, that they carried themselves with the smug air of both indifference and incredulity for those that would call them out on their family’s wretched ways. They are unequivocally the most dangerous people on the planet right now. I do not say this lightly but with the acknowledgment that Trump not only let Putin continue his murderous rampage in Ukraine but allowed Netanyahu, as execrable a leader as we have seen emerge through the smoke of war, and one who will justifiably go down in history as one of the world’s awful villains, guile him into a war in Iran. This is not to say POTUS doesn’t deserve to be held fully responsible for his actions, he very much does, but he let his own greed goad him into an awful miscalculation for which he is now apparently stuck.” open.substack.com/pub/noelca…

This is insane: FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr announced that they will be hiring a "bias monitor" at CBS "who would report directly to the President." State run TV is officially here. Make sure everyone sees this.

Rubio on Russia-Ukraine: "It's not our war. It's a war on another continent."

Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."
