So gratuitously and pointlessly spiteful and petty.

This scene perfectly encapsulates the relationship between Trump and corporate CEOs in Trump 2.0. He engages in vehement racist rants, and they chuckle and nod in agreement.

The Trump Family is doing much more than enriching themselves, they're robbing the government and everyone else blind.

It was a squeaker, but Trump managed to win the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize over runner up, John Barron.

Yes, the Supreme Court has failed to protect us from Trump. But it’s worse than that: The Supreme Court is imposing its own fascism. It invented presidential immunity. It has gutted the Voting Rights Act, passed by a bipartisan Congress. It’s as bad as Trump, and moving in the same direction.

How nice that today the current occupant of the White House got his very own participation prize. All of the pathetic sycophantic children in the White House must be so proud of daddy.

Trump says he'll have ICE-stapo kidnappers at FIFA games.

Maybe they'll get the ever living shit kicked out of them.

Soccer hooligans, you know your assignment.

Make sure everyone you know hears about #ICELawlessness & knows the story of US CITIZEN & IRAQ WAR VETERAN, George Retes.

"ICE officers used tear gas, broke his car window, and applied physical force, including kneeling on him, while he complied with their instructions."

Is this freedom?

America hired a serial bakrupt man and allowed him to put Stephen Miller in charge of policy.

His economic advisors are rewarded for sycophancy, and as a result, he started a trade war with China that backfired YUGELY.

Let's talk about the viability of their "security strategy," shall we?

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lordsβ€”a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

Agriculture Dept. Threatens to Withhold Food Stamps From Democratic States

This is where we are now. Families are starving in the wealthiest nation in the world.

Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him.

It's not just immoral β€” it's un-American.

COLLINS: You're expected to get the FIFA peace prize. What you say to people who say it conflicts with your pledge to strike Venezuela?

TRUMP: I've settled 8 wars. I don't know that I'm getting it. I've been hearing about a peace prize and I'm here to represent our country. But I did settle 8 wars.
