The Trump era is finally ending. Nothing the clown does is working. No one really understands why he attacked Iran, causing a worldwide oil shortages. Why he enacted inflationary tariffs raising grocery prices through the roof.
Why he needs a secret storm trooper army to attack Americans and immigrants in this country. Why he thinks it's "cute" to mess with science research, medical care and education. Why he's happy to accuse Democrats and the majority of Independents of being traitors
Why he's attacking the voting rights of minority Americans. Why he's looking for ever new ways to screw disadvantaged Americans. A majority of Americans don't just dislike or disapprove of the guy. The majority are disgusted by the guy and want him gone.
Today, the equities markets finally started to "adjust" to Trump's wildly inflationary economy.
If the investor class finally turns on Trump his approval ratings will drop into the low 30's and MAGA become a derogotory verb in America.
Let's all stand together for the Real America we have built and love over the past 50 years and STOP Trump's destruction before he destroys us.
How is the orange jesus era finally ending? He's got at least seven more months to go - and that's only if we have free and fair elections in November - and that is not at all assured.
As to the Iran war, I'm convinced he started that in order to enable American oil companies to raise their prices immediately, even though the US is self-sufficient, supposedly. They had no reason to raise gas prices on the first day or ever. To thank him for their windfalls, of course they are paying him huge kickbacks, don't you think?
We can only hope the "investor class" is smart enough to finally get how horrible this administration is. However, I'm not really hopeful because the top of that class is doing just fine and doesn't care at all about our country or "we the people." Witness what's happening to Thomas Massie for standing up to Trump regarding the Epstein Files. So much money is pouring for the R running against him, that Massie, as the incumbent standing up for the law, is polling lower. I guess it's what makes oligarchies so powerful. Money talks....
Seeing it all listed in one email is almost too much to bear. I can’t read it again because I did read it the first time around, all of it. But nonetheless I am grateful to you for keeping it all open and in front of our noses to keep our outrage flaring!
Thank you for summarizing and detailing the corruption and violations of law. Thank you also for your continued defensive legal efforts. Now, when the hell is Cogress (collectively) going to have had enough of this, take back some authority, and with the courts, lower the boom on Trump? How has he managed to break so many laws and keep getting away with it? We've had enough.
It's really hard to believe that anyone could call this the Republican Party any more. This iteration is called MAGA, and bears no resemblance to what came before. Even the words 'law and order' and 'familiy values' have disappeared from the party line. The Republican Party has not only been corrupted, it is indeed corrupt.
The answer to "when" may be never, especially if DJT's monied friends end up buying Thomas Massie's seat out from under him, as the polling suggest may happen.
Personally, I do not care to financially support anything this idiot wishes to spend our tax dollars on. Not a penny!! Is there a legal way for those of us who would like to withhold our federal tax dollars, to do so without penalty. I'm talking about a way for us to do the same as withholding rent monies until repairs are made to make a living space safe again. Perhaps to hold our tax dollars in a separate bank account until drumpf is removed from office. Then, and only then, would the money be released to the IRS. Is this doable??
I've wondered about the possibility of doing that. Following in Thoreau's footsteps. And I love the idea of the Black athletes not playing... Why not just all call in sick... Sick from the Jim Crow attack on Blacks, including the Black generals Trump fired early on... What about mailing books to Trump. He obviously is one of the dumbest people walking on the planet. His plans always cost American's more money with no value received. Maybe Oprah Winfrey should run for president? Someone think of something to break the wall around Trump that he has built using any scheme possible. One issue is that he thinks them up constantly and probably keeps our focus on all the different things going wrong. BUT OUR HOPE IS THAT ALL AMERICANS GET OUT AND VOTE THIS TIME. NO SITTING BACK AND THINKING YOU CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. We have to prove that each vote counts. No slackers this time.
Given Trump’s trying to steal billions from the Justice Department, does that mean the Epstein survivors should be able to sue the Justice Department for Trillions for irresponsibly releasing their PII?
Here's what I don't understand. Trump was required by law to share his tax returns. He refused and they were leaked. He was in violation of the law so how can he sue for their exposure and what was he hiding?
Isn't a settlement with the government a violation, in itself, of the Emoluments clause?
Look at the other multitude of violations of the Emoluments Clause that have seen no action and you can ask this? Note: That behemoth of a white elephant aircraft that Qtar saddled us with (and which we're still paying for) is just one example.
Of course not......not while in office. He's immune thx to SCOTUS. I've never seen a POTUS in my lifetime, so fragrantly and continually, violate our Constitution without a blip of a repercussion. He has no humility, no shame. My gosh, he accepted someone else's Nobel Peace Prize! Outrageous.
RE: Trump’s lawsuit v the IRS. Does this mean we can all sue all those companies that sell our personal information without our knowledge or permission? I think a $10Billion settlement may not be enough to compensate us for all the resulting ad harassment. Oh, and don’t forget the fraud resulting from data breaches as well from the companies’ inadequate protection of our personal data.
We pay the IRS extortion in every direction: we pay to sue, we pay to defend, we pay the judgment. We also pay the moral cost of allowing our money to go to the criminals who attacked our own Capitol on January 6th, Trump included. It is really more than I can bear.
Trump & Co project corruption & fraud everywhere. Of all Trump’s kleptocracy schemes, Trump’s $10 billion heist/shameless fleecing of the US Treasury/taxpayer funds is perhaps the most shameless. One of his criminal defense attorneys & now acting US Attorney General is proposing to “settle” Trump’s claims for Billions over leaking of his tax returns which other presidential candidates have released.
The Top 10 Lists should be compiled and sent to congressional Democrats when they are back in the majority, hopefully in 2027, and shared with the DOJ, when a Democratic president is back in office, hopefully in 2029, so investigations can be opened and the corruption can be exposed and prosecuted. This all needs to be stopped, on both sides of the aisle, and integrity and accountability be restored. I’m so sick of it!! I know I’m only one of the majority of Americans who want to be able to trust our institutions.
Finland again polls as being the happiest country in the world. Iceland and Denmark follow. It's been consistent. One of the things the people there say is that they feel safe; they trust their elected leaders to lead in their best interests; and they have a good standard of living. Can we say any of those things? We definitely don't poll in the top 10.

"If the investor class finally turns on Trump his approval ratings will drop into the low 30's and MAGA become a derogotory verb in America."
We can only hope. Unfortunately, the majority of the 30+% of his supporters are far below the investor class.

Er, what? Who doesn't understand why he attacked Iran? The worm is in the Lebanon side of the apple at the moment.

Half of that "investor class" is in bed with trump. Under threat of exposure.
Why? Money and power.

Agree, Pam B. No reason for the outrage to subside.
I keep asking: are Alito and Thomas biased or what?
What's happening with qui tam?
I'm exhausted by just trying to keep up with it all.
We in Canada don't want to lose a close friend to such overt criminality, racism and greed.
Good luck, America.
Ironic that The Don is protected from criminal charges by the corrupt Supremes, but he can sue the federal government as a private citizen.

Totally corrupt Republican Party!

Please keep up the pressure to deny Trump ill-gotten taxpayer funds via his disgusting corruption.
Once a thief, always a thief. The greed and "glory" and vengeance are why he sought this office.

Good question. Answer?
Given Trump’s trying to steal billions from the Justice Department, does that mean the Epstein survivors should be able to sue the Justice Department for Trillions for irresponsibly releasing their PII?
Hopefully!

I say the same thing every time! He's in violation, he's in contempt and he's been convicted and yet he's still standing! SHAMEFUL.
Has he ever been convicted of violating the Emoluments Clause? Convicted of other crimes, yes, but not that.
Of course not......not while in office. He's immune thx to SCOTUS. I've never seen a POTUS in my lifetime, so fragrantly and continually, violate our Constitution without a blip of a repercussion. He has no humility, no shame. My gosh, he accepted someone else's Nobel Peace Prize! Outrageous.

Is our government Making America Great Again? I think not.
Great stuff, Contrarian!
I liked things better when eggs were expensive and gasoline was cheap.
I could always cut back on eggs.
Bring Back Biden!
