Jane Doe #4 had some very bad things to say about you Mr. President, so I think we need to take them very seriously.
Q: Amy Acton's mother has not cared for her in about 50 years after her step dad was indicted for raping her. Why should anymore listen to what the mother says? TRUMP: Well, I know nothing about it. All I know is the mother said very bad things about Acton. I think you have to take that seriously.

I couldn't agree more, but I think we can start calling Elon's hate platform by its real name, 'Ex'.
People are claiming that Elon Musk messed with Starlink in Ukraine because Trump asked him. I think a more likely reason is that Ukraine damaging Russian data centers embarrassed Elon by showing how many of his Twitter followers are nonexistent and how much traffic on Twitter is driven by bots.

Senator Schmitt may have made a complete fool of himself, but it accomplished what it had to; distract everyone from the fact that Jack Smith had evidence that trump 'engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the [election] results and prevent the lawful transfer of power'. thanks the real story.
Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"
okay, tommy tuberville might be competing with markwayne as the dullest tool in the GOP, but any reasonable inference into what he's saying brings us to 1930's Germany type solutions. ...meanwhile, Kash Patel now allows FBI recruits that have engaged in bestiality.
Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.
'Navatek was hungry for more government contracts in Maine. If they cut a big check, the CEO told [Scott Reed, head of the Collins super PAC], Navatek wanted Collins to guarantee tens of millions of dollars in additional federal funding.' Collins bribery and a Trump cover-up.
Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?
"In 1995, Bill Clinton drew a crowd of 80,000 in Dublin’s College Green. A similar reception greeted Barack Obama in the same location during his 2011 visit." ...what a pathetic loser. www.irishamerica.com/2025/08/iris...
Reporter: “Your approval rating is really low in Ireland, around 20%.” Trump: “The polls are fake. My approval rating in Ireland is good. My approval rating in the US is great.”
aside from AI data centers taking our jobs, electricity, clean water and clean air, while providing almost nothing in return except padding the wallets of billionaires, what's not to love? ...the only obvious answer is that push-back has to be from Chinese misinformation.
Scalise: "We are investigating whether China is behind a lot of this misinformation against data centers"
meanwhile, in the real world (not the reality show where Sean Duffy got his transportation experience), Iran is mopping the floor with trump.
Sean Duffy on Canada: "It's a country that doesn't have a military ... they have record high euthanasia rates. And so to think that they're gonna go to war with Donald Trump and actually win that war with the US, I think it's foolish on their part."

i wonder when trump will award himself a Medal of Honor for bravery in face of dating during the 80's. that segment of the Howard Stern show is sickening display. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Bruce Blakeman goes out of his way to point out trump's corruption for holding back aid to states that didn't vote for trump.
Bruce Blakeman on Trump's unpopularity in New York City: "There are a lot of people in New York who disagree with President Trump's policies, but I think they appreciate the fact they'll have a governor that can pick up the phone or talk to the president and get instant results."
trump has ushered in the 'Golden Age' for every wealthy Americans. ...for the rest of us, it's the 'Let Them Eat Cake Age'.
After the pandemic, real wages grew strongly across the board — and pay rose faster at the bottom and middle than at the top, by the widest margin on record. Under Trump, real wage growth has cratered, and the lowest-paid have fallen furthest behind.

Luke Bronin has a Problem with Working People -Taking money from billionaires who want to build more AI data-centers. -Backed by Republican donors trying to put a corporate Dem in this seat. ** Vote for: Rep. Larson who has been leading the charge to not just protect but enhance Social Security.
GOP sexual abuser rallies to the defense of a GOP domestic abuser. ...does the golden age refer to bruise marks?
Members of Trump's political team asked Ohio Republicans not to wage a public pressure campaign against embattled GOP Rep. Max Miller after they became convinced he wouldn't end his reelection bid. That came as Miller insists he has no plans to withdraw despite serious allegations of domestic abuse.
"The top 1% put the American Dream behind a paywall." James Talarico
The most powerful rising force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system. Corporate Democrats refuse to see how big money has corrupted America. They — and their billionaire donors — are some of the biggest enablers of Trump's neo-fascism.
we'll have 'the privilege' of seeing the first lady of U.S. on Amazon Prime if we pay Jeff Bezos his annual fee. James Talerico is right, 99% of us are living behind a pay wall.
A new documentary series focusing on Melania Trump is coming this fall, following the critical and box office flop that was the controversial 'Melania' movie.
wait a minute, so there were no vandals working "in the dark of night", using "box cutters or sharp knives" to slice a "350 foot gash" in his cheap pool liner? ...imagine my surprise.
FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"
yet another assault to the cost of living by trump, and yes, they want your Medicare. "That move will likely result in higher prescription costs and increase premiums for about half of [Medicare Part D] recipients, according to an administration official." abcnews.com/Health/trump...
each clip of this rambling, grievance filled plea for attention is worse than the last, all to an audience he loathes. but, as boring and embarrassing as it was, it'll never top the Guinness record of embarrassment of trying to make himself the center of attention at the World Cup trophy ceremony.
Trump: "I am pleased to announce my intention to run for a fourth term as President of the United States. I will be doing that. I won three times, now I'm going to do it again.”
per Google Gemini: For adults in their mid-80s who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest at home, the overall survival rate to hospital discharge is typically between 2% and 4%. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
I'll take 'Stupid Shit Trump Does' for $2000 Alex... and the answer is.. 'he thinks these can stop wildfire smoke from drifting into the U.S. from Canada'. what are tariffs? exactly!
It’s hard to single out one action by Trump for particular stupidity. But putting tariffs on Canada because their wildfire smoke invaded America? That “solution” is surely among the stupidest.
I wonder if he had that the same scowl on his face when he was raping E. Jean Carroll?
The final design for a $1 coin bearing President Donald Trump’s face, being released in the fall, was approved earlier this year by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by the president. https://to.pbs.org/44yrRxZ
is there a Guinness world record for embarrassing yourself? he was booed loudly as he took the field to present the trophy, then had to be ushered away from the celebration because he wanted to the center of attention. ...all in front of 1 billion viewers. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
