CBS: You campaigned with Hasan Piker during the primary. Dem Senate candidate, while images of Piker flash on the screen: I didn’t campaign with him, and I don’t know where that came from. CBS: Ah well… would you want to campaign with him in the general? Candidate: I don’t really know who he is.

Donald Trump is really exceptionally corrupt.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Jimmy Carter had to gave up his peanut farm to avoid any conflicts of interest while president. The Obamas were forbidden to refinance their home while he was in office. Donald Trump has made over 21,000 stock trades while in office, often using his office to manipulate markets.
