LOL you gotta hand it to South Korea for gifting Trump a Silla dynasty crown. For those that don't know; that dynasty fell to financial instability, incredibly high taxes, wealth inequality and widespread rebellion against their king. Trump is too dumb to understand this is a prophecy and President Lee is basking in this moment, deservedly.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Many will say this is wrong and claim Biden went after Trump. What those people are missing is Trump actually did crimes.

The cost of everything from groceries to utilities to health care is up.
My new bill is an emergency lifeline for seniors struggling to survive in Trump's economy.
They run the White House.
They run the Senate.
They run the House.
And some say, they run SCOTUS.
And now the governmentโs shut down.
Donโt let them gaslight you (and they are trying as hard as they can,) this isnโt anyone elseโs fault.
When you hold all the power, you own the consequences.
Trump and Republicans are illegally withholding SNAP benefits.
Millions of children could go hungry.
And this guy is shamefully playing golf.
This man was violently detained by ICE on his way home from work. He kept shouting that he wasnโt a criminal and that he only wanted to be with his family.
01.11.2025 15:14 โ ๐ 689 ๐ 519 ๐ฌ 84 ๐ 53Emails reveal that Jeffrey Epstein was investigated for money laundering.
A federal prosecutor requested that a grand jury issue subpoenas for "every financial transaction conducted by Epstein and his six businesses" dating to 2003.
She even called one of Epstein's most important clients.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.
To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesnโt realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAPโ14.6% of the stateโs population.
Where are all the MAGA cultists who ranted endlessly when egg prices went up under Biden? Theyโre quiet as a church mouse now โ even though grocery prices are up, housing costs are up, household furnishing costs are up, and electricity prices are through the roof.
Maybe it was never about prices? ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
