One day we will look back and wonโ€™t believe what this country let Trump get away with. Nothing can ever be the same after this.

I thought he was good in the beginning of his series and then something happened to him to turn him more sour and angry.

With these kinds of political decisions, the networks are demonstrating their increasing irrelevance except for sports.

Trumpโ€˜s business partners canโ€™t survive without government handouts.

The lobbyists have always trying to influence policies about spending, taxes, and property rights. Since Citizens United they can effectively take over the media platforms and buy the policies with algorithms and distortions.

I want to remind folks of something thatโ€™s still raw for me. After the 2024 loss, most Dems in Congress went quiet. You remember the silence. It was deafening.

Jasmine Crockett did the opposite. She stepped up early, got loud, and was never afraid to take on Trump.

Damn. She is good. Very, very good at this. And she clearly has amazingly good memory and staff support. We need her in leadership of this battle. Thank you Rep. Crockett.

He was a part of the business. No? Enjoying his little โ€œsecretโ€ with Jeffrey and getting kompromat on so many elites who then worked with him or underwrite his loans. He was recruiting โ€œtalentโ€ for the Island. The Calendar Girls. Beauty contests. Gold toilets. Unreal.

Thatโ€™s a failure of market driven, capitalist democracies to deliver - not all democracies.

Business projects of Donald Trump in Russia - Wikipedia

...individual Russians have invested heavily in Trump properties, &, following Trump's bankruptcies in the 1990s, he borrowed money from Russian sources. Both DT Jr. and Eric Trump have said that Russia was an important source of money for the Trump businesses.

We need to be able to network labor and distribution for smaller, local, cooperatively owned, and governed Enterprises. The land should be shared.

Capitalism starts to fail in the kinds of returns investors expect after land, people and resources to be plundered become more scarce.

So what weโ€™re all saying is that Epstein lured powerful men with cute girls, and kept tapes as bribes. Trump got off on the power and sex with kids. He recruited for the honeytraps and got caught. Russian loans helped him avoid bankruptcy and he became an asset in ~2015 who might be President?

I think it is fair to say that this is a direct result of our corporate, health insurance, claims driven model of health care.

He was certainly working with Epstein to plan fintech/crypto investments with Russian backing and proposals to Putin to avoid bank reporting and Russian sanctions. Now heโ€™s got his face on the tokens!

Please get back in DC to do what you do so very well with this โ€ฆ Trump was recruiting for Epstein. We need more public outrage to continue to shame the GOP enablers.

Listen. There is NO DOUBT that trump did unthinkable things to little children. Boys and girls. There's even an accusation that these children were tortured and even killed.
