This is complete fantasy. Just an absurd made up lie. The EU is not giving Trump “$600 billion to invest anyway I want.” They aren’t giving him 1 dollar to invest. It is just astonishing that a president can go on a financial network and lie like this & it barely registers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump only got 56% of the vote in Texas this last election.
Romney got 57%
GWBush got 59% and 61%
Reagan got 63% in 1984
Nixon got 66% in 1972
LBJ got 63% in 1964
FDR got 88%, 87%, 80%, 71%
In the Solid South era, Dems routinely did >70%.

RFK Jr.'s Stunning Claim About Black People And Vaccines Sparks Concern From Medical Experts
Experts weigh in on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s controversial take and what they want everyone to know.
“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to whites, because their immune system is better than ours.”
This is from RFK Jr., HHS Secretary, speaking in 2021.
In case you are wondering, this is not true. It is a racist trope.

And why else would he repeatedly state to the press that he is “allowed” to do it? No reason whatsoever to state this other than to send a loud and clear message to her that that is what he will do.
And the Fox/Twitter propaganda machine will quickly make it go away.

Two of Epstein’s victims wrote letters—and they didn’t mince words about the Trump administration shielding Trump while not giving a damn about “transparency” or the victims.
📌 So of course, right on cue, Pam Bondi ordered the DOJ to launch an investigation into President Obama.

Trump And Miller Compel Colleges Not To Enroll International Students
Trump officials are using rules, policies and agreements to compel and discourage U.S. universities from enrolling international students.
Wow. Had not realized that Columbia’s settlement with Trump admin included a commitment to decrease international student enrollment. In what way does this help “combat antisemitism,” which is supposedly the administration’s objective?

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.

He has done the same thing with our entire health care/science apparatus, which I would argue was much more of a crown jewel. Wish this was talked about more.

All he has to do is deny. Fox/Newsmax/twitter/etc can make it go away. Plus, now with AI, who knows what we can believe. This is where we are now. Why it's a bad idea to elect a pathologically-lying, grossly corrupt treasonous egomaniac to the highest office in the land. Much less re-elect him.

He is now, with the power of the propaganda machine supporting him, where even if she later (after being pardoned) implicates Trump, he can just say "fake news", "witch hunt" and make the story go away. Or just not worry about it. He has the FBI, the DOJ, the DOD, all headed by his zealots.

He made it blatantly obvious with his "I'm allowed to give her a pardon" comment. Zero reason for him stating this except for the obvious, that he is sending her a message that he can and will. She would have to be an absolute imbecile to not read that loud and clear.

Honestly this is giving him way too much credit for thinking things through. She will make a statement exonerating him and pointing the finger at all of his various enemies, and he will pardon her, and the Fox/Twitter propaganda machine will go into overdrive quelling the outrage. Done.

Trump’s felony convictions were for making up numbers to make himself appear worth more than he was.
His 29 club championships in golf are because he makes up his own score.
No surprise he wants people in charge of government statistics who will make up the numbers he wants.

Agree with everything, except we should be talking A LOT more about an anti-vaxx, anti-science pathologically-lying lunatic dismantling our healthcare system and decimating it for generations to come. I can’t emphasize enough the severity of what he is doing.
