But sure a white guy who actually bet on his sport was treated unfairly and should be in the hall of fame but black guy, no such luck.

Scott Bessent has at least $500 million based on his financial disclosure form. But sure he feels the pain of soybean farmers. The tRump administration couldn’t care less about the average person, only about how it can corruptly benefit his uber-wealthy friends.

New York Times article reads: "Mr. Zhao had pleaded guilty to money-laundering violations in 2023 and served four months in federal prison, after a yearslong investigation by financial regulators and U.S. prosecutors.

β€œPresident Trump exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration in their war on cryptocurrency,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement on Thursday. β€œThe Biden administration’s war on crypto is over.”

The pardon was the latest example of how high-profile business partners of Mr. Trump and his family have benefited from his rollback of the wide-ranging crypto crackdown orchestrated by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. To seek the pardon, Mr. Zhao hired lawyers and lobbyists with ties to the Trump administration, while Binance struck a business deal with World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypto start-up."

I’ve read the @nytimes.com my entire life but I am doubting its commitment to journalistic integrity and one example is the assigning the largest protest since at least 1970 to a small mention in today’s paper.

@usatoday.com you’d think you might also mention that he dumps sh*t from his plane on Americans?! If any one hates America, it’s Trump.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump.

Your cowardice is showing β€” weak men seek revenge on powerful women who hold them to account.

But NY’rs don’t play. Our AG has been a fierce warrior for our rights, time & again. You better believe we’ll be there for hers.

I love how Johnson is doing all these mainstream DC shows to obscure the fact he has the rest of the Republican caucus in the witness protection program.

He knows that if his people are in DC getting questions on health care and Epstein, instead of hiding, they will break.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

Pynchon-heads, This One’s for Us Shadow Ticket is about rising fascism. It’s his most urgent novel yet.

Pynchon's new novel, Shadow Ticket maintains his distinctive style but looks looks more accessible, grounding "the reading experience, giving us a through-line amid the chaos." I look forward to reading it soon, but attached is a review from the best writer!!

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
