Attorney Kurt Olsen once worked to try to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss in court and was later sanctioned by judges for making baseless allegations about Arizona elections. He is now Trump’s director of election security and integrity.

propublica.org8 Things You Should Know About Trump’s Effort to “Take Over” the Midterm ElectionsFrom dismantling guardrails that upheld the integrity of past elections to gutting federal agencies and installing allies who supported Trump’s claim that the 2020 vote was stolen, here are the key ta...

6x bankrupt witless buffoon in charge: How it started: Due to trade deficit and drugs, I need to invoke special emergency powers to impose tariffs (i.e., taxes on Americans) without the consent of Congress. How it's going 10-11 months later right before SCt declared these actions unconstitutional:

As I've said many times, if the South would have won the Civil War or if Trump were living in 1860, he'd be a plantation owner with over 100 slaves and zero moral qualms about it. No doubt about it in my mind.

Dear Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: You may not be aware of this, but it actually matters to the American public whether Donald Trump (1) has the intellect and temperament of a five-year old, (b) is a racist cretin, or (c) as seems most likely, both. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The majority of the leadership team inside Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney’s Office resigned Tuesday in protest of directives from federal officials in the wake of the killing of Renee Good, according to sources familiar with the decision.

A proverbial 'can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit' case. What little cred the Trump DoJ has will be shredded after Comey walks in the end. Prediction: this laughable case will get dismissed by judge, as long as it isn't some Trump appointed lapdog who get assigned to it. #abuseofprocess

Trump-pardoned convict plead guilty but that doesn't matter. Seems like they're just going to loot the treasury using bogus "settlement" claims for convicted Trump supporters including for Trump himself. 'Drain the swamp' and Mexico will pay for the wall, the maga dupes use to chant..

The New Republic@newrepublic.com

The move mirrors Trump’s attempt to get $240M from the DOJ to settle his own claims of politically motivated prosecution. trib.al/AV96klJ Flynn notoriously lasted only 22 days in Trump’s first administration. Since then, Flynn has been one of the leading evangelists of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Remember 2016 when Trump would make speeches about how Hillary would be a "pay for play" President and he wouldn't bc he was rich and financing his own campaign? Every Trump accusation of impropriety and illegality is a projection about himself. Corruption personified. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641. As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570. (Published July with @texastribune.org)

Wretched lady who abruptly dropped FL investigation of Trump Univ. after she got a 5 figure check from him and who turned DoJ into Trump's law firm by firing and replacing career prosecutors with Trump 'personal loyalty' lawyers gonna meet with Ghiz to get the truth while holding key to her cell. 🙄

This just REEKS of corruption.

Why? Probably bc you (Trump) got your lawyers to intervene as a "John Doe" to get the court to seal or redact all mentions of Donald Trump. www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump...

businessinsider.comThe newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents have Donald Trump's name all over them. He had been secretly disguised as 'Doe 174.'Former President Donald Trump may have fought to keep his name redacted in court documents before a judge ordered it unsealed.

No problem, once Trump hears about repercussions from his actions I'm sure he'll take time off from his busy day of golf to invite the J6 mob over to Vegas after he blames Canada and tells them that Vegas has been "treated very, very unfairly" by Canadians.

Las Vegas Review-Journal@reviewjournal.com

May was expected to be the first month of possible passenger declines due to Canadian consumer dissatisfaction with the proposed annexation of the country as the 51st U.S. state by President Trump and ongoing debates over tariffs.

Someone came up with the perfect analogy: The Republicans are the Uvalde shooter. The Democrats are the Uvalde police. Yes, the shooter is the problem. But it’s the cops we expect to defend us and act on our behalf, and not just stand around being cowards. That’s why we’re mad at those cops.

Netanyahu has been claiming that Iran was 2 to "3 weeks away" from a nuclear bomb since around the Bush admin. trying to get a US potus to do his dirty work of bombing Iran. Of course, Trump was the only sucker who took the bait and put the county at risk for war and terror attacks on US interests.

Very likely a sign of things to come through 2028 and possibly beyond.
