She knows how to sell a product, but that product is not "news"

She's not afraid to take on a mob, but that "mob" is "most Americans who are not billionaires she constantly flatters"

She's an entrepreneur, if that's a synonym for grifter.

Imagine being "amazed" at the hostile reaction to all that

Trump was POTUS on J6.

It was Trump’s FBI.

Biden’s win had not even been certified yet.

Trump’s lies are beyond insane.

Allegations of corruption and other impropriety have surfaced repeatedly during Paxton’s career. The GOP-majority Texas House voted to impeach him in 2023 over allegations that he abused his office to aid a campaign donor. The TX Senate acquitted and returned him to office after a two-week trial.

"Paxton went from being a middle-class lawyer to a multimillionaire during his two decades on a public official’s salary, according to thousands of pages of previously unreported documents that shed new light on the personal finances of one of the Republican Party’s most-watched midterm candidates."

Trump’s new demands on Justice Department raise alarm among prosecutors The president is rapidly intensifying the pressure he’s putting on federal prosecutors, prompting some observers to questions whether their traditional independence can survive.

President Trump has spent months chipping away at the barriers that have long protected the Justice Department from political interference.

Federal prosecutors are bracing for what comes next as he escalates that effort rapidly.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Wall Street banks and tech companies big and small were scrambling on Saturday to figure out how their tens of thousands of employees would be affected by President Trump’s proclamation imposing a $100,000 fee for visas granted to skilled foreign workers.

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

According to 6 justices, β€œreasonable suspicion” = brown skin + work boots.

The new legal test after today: Are you brown in the wrong ZIP code? Then you’re suspicious.

The Court didn’t rule on law. They ruled on appearance.

In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.

Parker was shot in the head back in June.

She spent weeks in the hospital with a broken skull and a blood clot in her brain.

Now she’s back in Los Angeles protesting Trump’s illegal immigration policies not far from where she was shot.

Why?

Because people shouldn’t be taken.
