Trump says ‘Joe Buden disinformates and misinformates’ in social post

I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief when I read the latest social media post from Trump, claiming that Joe Buden “disinformates and misinformates.” The irony of a man who has made a plethora of spelling and grammar errors throughout his time in the public eye trying to take a jab at someone else’s intelligence is truly astounding. It’s almost like the pot calling the kettle black.

What strikes me most about this comment is the sheer audacity and lack of self-awareness displayed by Trump. This is a man who tried to overthrow the government, put his own vice president’s life at risk, and incited violence against law enforcement officers.… Continue reading

Trump Bond Slashed 68% to $175 Million as He Appeals NY Fine

As I read about Trump’s bond being slashed by 68% to $175 million as he appeals a fine in New York, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of frustration wash over me. It seems that once again, the wealthy and powerful are receiving preferential treatment in our justice system. While many of us struggle to make ends meet, Trump continues to dodge consequences for his actions.

What enrages me the most is the blatant double standard that exists. If an average person like myself were unable to pay a fine, we would likely face immediate repercussions. But for Trump, it appears that the rules are different.… Continue reading

Appeals Court puts 10-day pause on Trump’s payment, lowers bond to $175M.

As I sit and process the recent news regarding the Appeals Court putting a 10-day pause on Trump’s payment and lowering the bond to $175 million, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of frustration and disillusionment. The blatant double standard that exists within our justice system is glaringly evident in this decision. How is it possible that someone who claimed to have $500 million in cash just two days ago is given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to delay payment and lower the bond amount?

The fact that Trump is being given special treatment, with no clear rationale provided by the court, speaks volumes about the state of our legal system.… Continue reading

Trump Might Be Too Broke for a $175 Million Bond, Too

It’s ridiculous how the justice system is treating Trump with kid gloves yet again. He was given another 10 days to come up with $175 million for a bond, and it feels like a slap in the face to justice. The appellate court didn’t even bother to explain why they significantly reduced the bond. This leniency towards Trump, who clearly incited a violent attack on our democracy, is a clear example of unequal justice in this country.

The fact that the number of $175 million seems like a negotiated amount with Trump’s lawyers only adds to the frustration. It’s another blatant example of the multiple justice systems in place – one for the wealthy and one for the rest of us.… Continue reading

Murkowski, done with Trump, won’t rule out leaving GOP

It’s fascinating to witness the recent shift in political dynamics within the GOP, with Senator Lisa Murkowski making headlines for her bold statement expressing her discontent with former President Trump and not ruling out leaving the Republican Party. This declaration has undoubtedly sparked a wave of speculation and anticipation about the potential repercussions on the future of the GOP.

Having a prominent figure like Murkowski, who has demonstrated a level of independence within the Republican Party, consider the possibility of leaving is a significant development. Her track record of occasionally siding with Democrats on key issues and voting against Trump in his second Senate trial only adds to the intrigue surrounding her next steps.… Continue reading

Republicans Who Do Not Regularly Watch Fox Are Less Likely to Back Trump

As a Republican who does not regularly watch Fox, I can confirm that my lack of support for Trump aligns with the notion that Republicans who avoid Fox News are less likely to back the former president. It’s no secret that Fox, along with other right-wing media outlets, has a significant impact on shaping the beliefs and opinions of their viewers. The constant stream of pro-Trump propaganda and disinformation perpetuated by these outlets works to create a bubble around their audience, shielding them from differing perspectives and factual information.

The idea that Fox News was created with the intention of providing biased coverage in favor of the administration is not surprising.… Continue reading

Already $91 Million in the Hole, Trump Decides to Defame E. Jean Carroll Some More

Already $91 million in the hole, and what does Trump decide to do? Defame E. Jean Carroll some more. It’s truly mind-boggling to witness the lengths this man will go to in order to try and escape accountability for his actions. Despite a jury finding that he forcibly penetrated her vagina against her will, Trump continues to deny any knowledge of E. Jean Carroll, let alone the accusations she has made against him. It’s a sad state of affairs when the leader of a nation, let alone a human being, stoops to such levels of depravity and dishonesty.

To add insult to injury, Trump proudly boasts about posting a $91.6 million bond to defend himself against Carroll’s defamation lawsuit.… Continue reading

Trump threatened Pence in phone call before Jan 6 riot, new transcript shows

The transcript of the phone call between Trump and Pence before the Jan 6 riot reveals a truly chilling revelation. Trump, in a desperate attempt to cling to power, resorted to outright threats against Pence, warning him that refusing to overturn the election results would be a “political career killer.” This blatant act of coercion, aimed at the Vice President of the United States, is nothing short of a betrayal of democracy and an attack on the very foundations of our nation.

It is alarming to think that Trump, a man who took an oath to defend the Constitution, would stoop to such despicable acts in order to maintain his grip on power.… Continue reading

I got my own Trump document dump — and it makes clear why his election interference case is delayed

I got my own Trump document dump — and it makes clear why his election interference case is delayed. The revelations that have come to light concerning the manipulation of information, the delay tactics employed, and the clear bias towards Trump within the government are truly eye-opening. It’s apparent that there are forces at play that are actively working to shield Trump from accountability and public scrutiny. The fact that the press, who are meant to be the watchdogs of democracy, have played a role in aiding Trump is deeply troubling. The media’s thirst for sensationalism and ad revenue has led them to prioritize outrage over facts, contributing to the perpetuation of Trump’s narrative.… Continue reading

Trump is selling ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles for $59.99 as he faces mounting legal bills

When I first heard that Trump was selling ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles for $59.99, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. This guy, who has shamelessly violated numerous commandments, is now trying to peddle Bibles? It’s both absurd and tragically fitting in the twisted narrative of Trump’s presidency.

The audacity in Trump’s statements promoting these Bibles is almost comical. He talks about making America pray again, endorsing a Bible that is supposedly the only one approved by him. It’s ironic how someone who has displayed such questionable moral character suddenly wants to champion faith and spirituality. The level of hypocrisy is truly astounding.… Continue reading
