"The Epstein files and illegal boat strikes aren’t the only coverups taking place right now in the White House. There’s also something clearly wrong with the president’s health that the administration is trying to conceal from the public."
CNN put together a supercut of Trump calling affordability a "Democrat hoax" and "con job"

Who is Elon trying to scam and why?
The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency.
Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people.
Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

Lost elections are rigged, won elections are fair. Good job numbers are real, bad ones are fake. Sex trafficking is bad, unless the traffickers will blame your enemies. Crime is bad, unless the criminals are pro-Trump. This isn't 4D chess, or even tic-tac-toe, just Autocracy 101.

The 14th Amendment says that all people born in America, regardless of race are citizens and have a right to equal protection under the law. For SCOTUS to be remotely confused on that text speaks to their racism, not the Constitution (1/3) www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

Trump has quietly gutted the endangered species act. He does not care about any animals that will now die off and become extinct.

03.12.2025 23:21 — 👍 3415 🔁 1181 💬 96 📌 44It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.
03.12.2025 04:00 — 👍 5779 🔁 1366 💬 75 📌 45That's WHY this President and administration think that it's a con job; it benefits people who are not them. The only thing that's not a con job to these people are things that ONLY benefit them. Literally all these people care about is money, power, & notoriety.
That's why they're fucking cowards!
Does anybody else feel the same way?
04.12.2025 22:13 — 👍 5085 🔁 734 💬 451 📌 71The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.
What the... Just what?
How would the CEO feel if it were HIS family that were victims of war crimes? HE would want retribution, right?
See where I'm going with this? I wish HE would.
No. Thanks for asking.

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

"The Republican Party of today, embodied as it is in Donald Trump and the administration he leads, is no longer so worried about being called racist, because it has unashamedly taken white supremacy as its cause."
