Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants. According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet: “These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”

Turning Point sent seven buses with 350 people to the Capitol on January 6.

This man is a troll who says that any election won by Democrats is "stolen." He also oversees national election security for Homeland Security. He's been pushing the ridiculous "California fraud" narrative. He studied at Moscow State University. 1/

MAGA vets. Weigh in. With the recent ICE funding, ICE now has more money that the entire United States Marine Corps. There are 204,000 marines and 28,000 ICE personnel. ICE now has 85 billion. The entire marine budget is 54 billion. This is absolutely insane. What the holy hell is wrong with Congress. More importantly, what the hell did veterans vote for to give trump his own army?

Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed. Here's what happened: He signed an order converting ~8,000 of the most senior career officials in government into employees he can fire for any reason, or no reason at all. These aren't rando's. They're the directors, chiefs of staff, and the people who write the rules or decide who gets federal money, i.e. the lieutenants right below his political appointees. Until yesterday, they answered to the law. Now they answer to him. A president normally gets ~4,000 political appointees. People he can bring into government and fire at will. I was one of them at DHS. You serve at his pleasure, full stop -- so if you're gonna speak truth to power, you're prepared to quit (or get fired if he doesn't like it). The rest of the federal government is PROTECTED from firing if they tell the truth. But Trump just stripped those protections. Adding 8,000 more people to his personal army. Overnight. Without asking Congress. With the stroke of a pen, those people now serve at the pleasure of the president. They're "his" people, whether they like it or not. And the chilling effect is real. An official who can be fired this afternoon for "subversion of presidential directives" (the order's own words) doesn't need to be hand-picked to know what's expected of him or her. The threat does all the work. By the way, this order is illegal. The law only lets Trump reclassify jobs when "necessary" in exceptional circumstances. And this blows an 8,000-person hole in the merit hiring / firing system created by Congress. Without permission, Trump has created a whole new category of stormtroopers inside the Executive Branch. If this doesn't get challenged in court, you're going to see the U.S. government become a very different place. Here's the full story: bit.ly/4dQN5N2

Even the Iraq war was sold on the assumption that actual WMD stockpiles existed. But here Hegseth admits that Iran’s nuclear facilities were already “obliterated” and that all Iran had were “ambitions.” This confirms what we already knew, namely that Trump lied when he asserted that “if we didn’t hit within two weeks they would have had a nuclear weapon.” In 2008, Trump alleged that “Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction,” and he said that Bush should for this reason have been impeached. Trump’s own standards, applied consistently, would therefore entail that he should be impeached. You can be sure this will be in the minds of Democrats if they take control of Congress, and Trump has only himself to blame. His words also underline the injustice of the war, since just war criteria require that a war not be fought under false pretenses.

During DJT's first term, the Mueller investigation and the Senate Intelligence Committee found over 100 contacts between Team Trump and the Russians in 2016. They also found that Manafort shared battleground polling information with the Russians. It was no hoax.

Donald Trump is about to turn Jan 6 criminals into MILLIONAIRES. With your tax dollars. The people who smeared feces on the Capitol walls… …hunted Mike Pence through the halls of Congress… …assaulted cops. He’s creating a $1.7 billion apology fund for them. Disgusting.
