Maybe it is his love of the song YMCA. Maybe it is his dancing with the 2 handed jerk off motion. Maybe because he was checking out Jon Husted's ass. Maybe how he talked about Arnold Palmer's hog. Maybe he should just admit it and roll with it. Gives a different meaning to MAGA.

Dinesh D'Souza Born in Mumbai in 1961 and came to the US as an exchange student. 2014, D'Souza pleaded guilty to a felony count of making illegal contributions in the names of others. He got 5 years' probation, 8 months incarceration in a halfway house and a $30,000 fine. Deport HIS felonious ass!

Border czar Tom Homan said it is possible U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar be deported if she committed any wrongdoing. Lawyers for Omar have raised concerns over the raid of her residence and demanded the return of seized items in a letter sent to federal prosecutors on Friday.

Did we push Putin to invade Chechnya? Georgia? Crimea? To poison critics in other countries? Is that what we pushed the former KGB agent to do? I'm shocked that the GOP has become simps for Russia and Putin.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ron Johnson blames US for Putin invading Ukraine: "The way we treated Russia after we won the Cold War, how we pushed them. I'm not defending Putin, but we said we were not gonna move NATO one inch to the east. We brought it right to their doorstep basically. What did we think Putin was gonna do?"

Longest serving Republican speaker of the house and child rapist died at 84. We just need to get the rapist, both child and adult, out of the White House now. Release the Epstein Files!

Trump at the UN today basically said "I am the world's greatest peacemaker and I will commit mass genocide to prove it"

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.

Mike Johnson claims that the current Congress is "probably in the top three or four of all time" and is "almost unmatched in history" 🙃

It was a gift....a gift....a gi....a g.....a GRIFT. It was a grift. It was always a grift. Wonder who else helped fund Don Jr's wedding? Why didn't the Big Guy, his dad go?

CNN@cnn.com

President Donald Trump on Friday claimed his son, Donald Trump Jr., paid back the Russian billionaire who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund parts of Trump Jr.’s wedding celebration in the Bahamas.

No one, and I mean NO ONE, could have foreseen the Iranians shutting down the Strait of Hormuz or Iranian backed Houthis in Yemen shutting down the Red Sea when this, um, war Trump started. No one in the CIA, NSA, DIA, State Department, Department of Defense, ONI, various "think tanks",..........

What is causing RFK Jr to say these things? Is it the brain worm? Is he snorting coke off toilet seats again? Is he back shooting heroin into his veins? Why not all three! Craziest thing about RFK's statements is how often Trump is named in the Epstein files.

RFK Jr claims Trump is a man of "superior intelligence" and "empathy and compassion"

Oh yeah! Trump is going to definitely gonna send out those checks!

Elizabeth Warren@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social

Here's what I think about Trump's pledge to give everyone $5,000 if he wins the midterms: It's as real as Trump's promise to lower costs on Day 1. Check the receipts from Groundwork for the 15 times Trump promised Americans $$$. Remember the DOGE dividend?

Rattus Norvegicus reposted

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Trump: "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."

Cut back on the avocado toast also. Or maybe a company that thinks it's products may destroy humankind should just be allowed to go bankrupt.

Karly Kingsley@karlykingsley.bsky.social

Anthropic’s CEO says that the company needs hundreds of billions in revenue or they’re going to go bankrupt. Awww…Maybe he can only drink coffee at home, get a second job, and work a lot harder. Polluting the environment and creating societal nightmares must be so exhausting

These type of articles show she doesn't have any friends in the White House, except one. Shockingly, he has not come to her defense at all. Maybe DJT is not a trustworthy person to rely on for backup.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s closest aide, Natalie Harp, declined multiple times over more than a year to seek a routine security clearance normally obtained by West Wing staffers to work at the White House, sources tell MS NOW.

"Mr. Trump, you are the first president in American history to start and lose a war by yourself. You have made America more weak, more alone and less respected. Congress needs to take back the steering wheel from this impaired driver."

Maybe all those rules and regulations about food processing cleanliness were in place for a reason? To keep people from pooping themselves to death. Worldwide, diarrhea is a top 5 killer of children.

The year before, Trump was too chickenshit to withdraw from Afghanistan. He even invited the Taliban to Camp David, on Sept 11, to negotiate. All the press assailed Biden for doing the right thing.

Ian Bassin@ianbassin.bsky.social

Biden made the right decision with problematic execution pulling out of Afghanistan and he was savaged for it daily. Trump makes one of the worst strategic decisions in U.S. history with catastrophic consequences and somehow the reaction seems milder. Am I wrong about that?

According to the RAND Corporation, if the tax rates today were the same as 1975, the bottom 90 percent would have an additional $79 trillion. What could you do with that additional income? Ever had the feeling you've been cheated? www.rand.org/pubs/working...

There is a level of wealth at which your brain begins to rewire itself toward increasing and protecting the money above all other needs and desires. Folks below that line are no longer seen as fellow humans but beasts of burden and scumbag thieves who want your money

The Cybertruck is most likely the first vehicle that Elon designed himself. So of course it looks like a rolling dumpster. The man has no design sense whatsoever. Now, it will probably be one of the biggest flops in the automotive industry ever. Hey Elon, go fash, loose cash. You wanker!

I would like to remind everyone that Robert Mueller was 100% correct: Russia DID help Trump, repeatedly and illegally. His investigation produced 37 indictments, and seven guilty pleas or convictions. There is only one person committing widespread election fraud: Donald Trump.

Would not surprise me that Qatari Force One doesn't have the defensive capability of the old Air Force One planes. Not enough time to build that in an existing airframe. So he flies in the more capable and safer AF One before switching to the Qatari plane for a leg of the journey that is safe.

Reuters@reuters.com

President Trump made a stop at an air base in the United Kingdom, switching planes from an older model Air Force One to the newly-commissioned 747 gifted by the Qatari government.

Had a nice chat with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 minutes. We talked about gas prices, World Cup soccer matches, the Iran ceasefire. Well, I talked. He just sort of sat there saying nothing. It was a good talk though! (Actual photo of Mitch! Still alive, still kicking!)

McConnell only cares about the Republican party. I'm sure he didn't want the only president to be impeached and convicted to be a Republican. He hates Trump, but he loves his party even more than democracy, the country, or the Constitution. He would burn this country to the ground to save his party.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

This is Trump trashing the United States, again. The plane was built and outfitted in Seattle! Air Force One is meant to be a flying office, not a palace. Mr Moneybags there loves spending taxpayer money on himself though.

Shot 🍾 “Frankly,” he said, “we couldn’t build a plane like this because we wouldn’t be willing to spend the kind of money necessary. They spent top dollars.” Chaser 🍺 As Marina Dunbar of The Guardian noted, the plane is a retrofitted Boeing 747-8, built in the United States. Cheers, I guess 😵‍💫
