Trump posts as president of the United States but he's allowed to sell early access to his posts for more convenient insider trading. Just obscene vile corruption:
🤯 even Hassett can't spin hotter than expected inflation data: "It's a disappointing report … things have accelerated over the last three months … the trickle down from higher energy prices is definitely very palpable in the data"
BASH: Do you see it as your job as attorney general to represent anyone in the administration being investigated by Congress?BLANCHE: Wait, do I see it as my job? The Constitution sees it as my job!BASH: So if Hegseth faces impeachment, would you represent him?BLANCHE: Well, yeah
wow — Blanche on Fox News Sunday claims oversight from Dems is "not the way this country can survive or live with these ongoing threats … if you work in this administration, you have a lawyer. It's me."(Note that at the end even the Fox News host is a bit taken aback by Blanche's rhetoric … )
Blanche: "I understand there are people who have said they believe there is some sort of corruption. That's largely because the media and Democrats have highlighted any time there's any kind of success in this country that has to do with anybody in this administration, they call that corruption… "
BASH: Trump said Democratic lawmakers are 'extortionists and should be in prison.' Is that a possibility?BLANCHE: Well, it depends on what the crime is and what they've done
here's is full footage of the crashout Attorney General Todd Blanche just had on CNN, including him confirming he'll investigate Democrats on Trump's demand and leaving the door open to trying to imprison them
Todd Blanche was Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, and as Attorney General of the United States, he’s still acting like it. Blanche should be defending the Constitution, not threatening our Committee for doing our jobs.
BASH: You have signaled you intend to investigate the 'Trump crime family.' How far does that go? Do you want to include Don Jr and Jared Kushner?GARCIA: This is the most corrupt family to ever be in the White HouseBASH: So yes?GARCIA: Absolutely. They should be expected to answer questions

Q: If I said Joe Biden is the part owner of a company and it has all of these investments from the Middle East, you would say that sounds corrupt, right?
Trump: Well, he did have a lot of different things.
again, something of a banal observation, but i think contributing to the general feeling of powerlessness and rage in america today is the extent to which our elites engage in such flagrant, grotesque, even performative contempt for the rest of america
Also important to remember about Trump:He believes in NOTHING. He has now morals, values, principles, or firmly held beliefs. He has no ideology. People like Stephen Miller think they’ve found their man… while Trump can and will turn on them on a dime whenever it suits him.

But reading a book with a gay character in it is somehow harmful and OK to restrict. Show kids people dressed up as another gender is Ok to ban but not adictive features in social media. Get real people. Look at what some states call harmful to warrant banning it but big tech companies think they should be exempt from these same rules / laws. Hugs
We did the crime but now that the crime is done you can’t punish us for doing it; it is not the way the law is supposed to work. But it seems to be the tRump and crew operating mode. Same with the ballroom, the tree cutting on the golf course, and the many deportations they were ordered not to do. I hope the judge fines them or some kind of sanction. Hugs
The Trump administration says a lawsuit over its taxpayer-funded advertising campaign should be considered moot now that the midterm elections are over, arguing that a judge can no longer remedy any harm the ads might have caused.

But the action does not prevent future presidents from restyling the iconic office that Trump has filled to the brim with gold flourishes, nor does it prevent a successor from rolling back the proclamation itself. Trump himself has reversed national monument designations made by his predecessors.
