๐ŸšจTESTIMONY OF THE YEAR: A Texas voter just torched Donald Trump and Greg Abbott during a redistricting hearing - and it was BRUTAL:

โ€œHe cheated on the golf courseโ€ฆ
He cheated on his taxesโ€ฆ
He cheated on his wivesโ€ฆ
He cheated on democracyโ€ฆโ€

But then came the mic drop ๐Ÿ‘‡

When you deploy the military against protesters, disregard court orders, attack press freedom by threatening media licenses and suing outlets, and fire people for telling the truth...

...it's no longer just a meme.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.ย 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

There are only 3 options here:
1) Heโ€™s just making shit up and lying to everyone
2) He is dumb as a stump and doesnโ€™t understand any of this
3) Both

Trump is a Liar and or Stupid, why is anyone supporting him?

Trump Admin Plans to Burn Around $10M Worth of Contraceptives Meant for Aid A nonprofit says the administration rejected its offer to buy the birth control.

The Trump administration is planning to burn almost $10 million worth of contraceptives that were supposed to be sent to people in low-income countries. Destroying the contraceptives will reportedly cost U.S. taxpayers over $160,000.

Beyond the 60 Minutes payoff & Colbert cancelation, an unprecedented capitulation: as part of merger agreement, new parent company agrees to install an official to "monitor bias" at CBSโ€™s news division. CBS news will essentially be state controlled media.

This is what you voted forโ‰๏ธ

Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies.

Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

The official White House rapid response account is just blatant lying. No taxes on Social Security is not in the bill.
