Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

We’ve seen enough to know decency isn’t what Trump stands for. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But we must never let his example define us. We can fight cruelty without losing our humanity and we can defend democracy without abandoning our values! 💪🏼 We can choose who WE are. 💙 #Pinks 🌸 #USDemocracy

equal concern for the people paying the bills. The presidency is supposed to be about public service, not cheering from the sidelines while powerful interests prosper. Donald Trump promised to put America first.

while the financial struggles of ordinary Americans are treated as an afterthought. There is nothing wrong with American businesses being profitable. But there is something profoundly wrong with a president celebrating those profits without demonstrating

not simply by how much money powerful industries are making. And this is precisely what has become so disturbing about today’s Republican Party. Too often, enormous corporate profits are celebrated as evidence of economic success

He anticipated headlines contrasting industry profits with consumer hardship and said it anyway. That isn’t leadership. That’s an astonishing display of indifference. A president should measure economic success by whether ordinary Americans can afford to live with dignity,

with the contrast between Americans suffering at the pump and the fortunes being made in the energy industry, his response was to celebrate the money. What makes this especially appalling is that Trump apparently understood exactly how his remarks would sound.

Certainly not the family trying to make ends meet. Not the single mother driving to work. Not the retiree watching prices rise faster than Social Security benefits. This is the same man who campaigned on lowering prices and making life affordable again. Yet when confronted

inconvenience. It’s another financial burden they can barely afford. And the president of the United States is boasting about how much money is being made. Made by whom, Mr. President?

Think about the extraordinary arrogance of that statement. Millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Retirees on fixed incomes watch every dollar. Working families struggle to afford groceries, housing, healthcare, and transportation. For many, filling the gas tank isn’t a minor

While Americans struggle with gasoline prices, higher living costs, and the financial pressures facing working families, Donald Trump is celebrating the fortunes being made in the oil and gas industry. And apparently, he doesn’t give a damn how that sounds.

There are moments when Donald Trump says something so revealing that no political analyst, commentator, or opposition politician could possibly explain his priorities any better than he does himself. This is one of those moments.

“I DON’T GIVE A DAMN. WE’RE MAKING A FREAKING FORTUNE.” — DONALD TRUMP By Murry Evans Yesterday, October 24, at a political rally in Perry, Georgia, Donald Trump made a statement that deserves considerably more attention than it has received.

The Grand Old Pedophiles Party #ABlueView It wasn't enough for the Grand Old Pedophiles to protect pedophiles; its next, brilliant, election-winning idea, is to use pedophile-enablers to attack the kids they allowed to be raped. #StandWithAmyActon #GOPProtectsPedophiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
