Biden gives blistering answer to Trump's very dumb question
I killed people & I'm the victim - Kyle Rottenhouse
I defamed mass murder victims & I'm the victim - Alex Jones
I bought Twitter & made it a hate pit & I'm the victim - Elon MuskRAT
I lie & commit crimes a LOT & I'm the victim - broke-assed cheetotoddler
“[Trump Media & Technology Group, DJT] is grossly overvalued, It qualifies as a meme stock for which the price is divorced from fundamental value…Meme stock investors are usually buying on the basis of the greater fool theory of investing: It is overvalued today, but I hope to make money selling it to an even greater fool tomorrow at an even higher price.”

One ironic reason Trump is not able secure a bond"...is... fraudulently valuing his properties, no person or company who can put up the bond can trust that his properties will be adequate collateral.

To keep people interested in watching the games NCAA must come up with rules that allow the game to be settled on the court. They review trivial calls but not crucial calls?!
@th3j35t3r If an individual in severe financial distress with access to classified information were applying for a government job that required a Top Secret (TS) or Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) clearance, they would likely face significant challenges in obtaining and maintaining the necessary security clearance. Financial difficulties are one of the factors considered in the security clearance process, as they can raise concerns about susceptibility to coercion, influence, or compromise. When applying for a government job that requires a security clearance, applicants are typically required to complete a thorough background investigation, including a review of their financial history. This process may involve scrutinizing the individual's credit history, debt levels, outstanding judgments or liens, and other financial indicators. Having severe financial distress could raise red flags during the security clearance process and potentially lead to concerns about the individual's ability to protect classified information and make sound judgments under pressure. Adverse financial circumstances may be viewed as a potential risk factor for security clearance eligibility, depending on the severity of the situation and the individual's willingness and ability to address and mitigate the financial issues. Ultimately, the determination of whether an individual with severe financial distress would be successful in obtaining a TS/SCI clearance for a government job would depend on the specific circumstances, the mitigating factors presented by the applicant, and the overall assessment of the individual's trustworthiness, reliability, and suitability for access to sensitive information.
Lev Parnas testified that Giuliani knew the source of the info that he was spreading was Russian disinformation and didn’t care. He was only interested in getting Trump reelected & was willing to sell out his country to get Trump 4 more years.

We have 3 more days before Congress goes for a two-week recess.
35 House Democrats and most House Republicans haven't signed the discharge petition to bring the Ukraine aid bill the floor for a vote
A discharge petition will FORCE Mike Johnson to put the Ukraine funding bill on the floor, he' required to. If we accomplish this, IT WILL PASS.
Call your Congressman/woman now, and save #Ukraine

Something for MAGA supporters to consider should they succeed in returning Putin's pawn to the White House, abandoning Ukraine, and igniting war with NATO.

Starting to make sense why Trump had to pay Stormy Daniels in installments (the Lay Away plan 😉). And why he’s not paid Giuliani. And why the kids are out begging passerby’s for $. And why top secret documents were stolen. And why his makeup looks so cheap.
But as long as Jared’s got $3B then Trump has hope. “Borrow” a little of the Saudi’s $ quietly & slip it back later, before Jared gets chopped up. Or just let Jared get chopped…it’s all about the $ and Trump, f*ck Jared.

Alexander Hamilton, writing in 1792 to George Washington: "The only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion... When a man unprincipled in private life[,] desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper... is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity ... #politics #AssWaffle
TFG condemns "trying to determine good from bad" (i.e., in presidential actions) because this would cause "years of trauma."
Telling good from bad is exactly the job of a judiciary interpreting a body of law. They've been doing it for 235 years, I think they've got the hang of it now.

Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.
