FT: “.. Wherever you look in financial markets, you see signs that global investors are going out of their way to avoid Donald Trump’s America.”

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.

For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

If a Democratic president ever said something like this about Republicans in a State of the Union speech, the corporate media would be up in arms. I doubt this will even register because we’ve normalized it so completely when it comes from Trump.

After pointing at Democrats and saying they are "crazy," Trump says, "We’re lucky we have a country, with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we stopped it, just in the nick of time."
Just insanely destructive. Indefensible — but Republicans stood and clapped.

The man does not believe in the legitimate opposition and he never has, and never will.

fucking stockholm syndrome to listen to this and be like "yep nothing i can do but just sit here and take it"

He’s pro-bribery.

trump going on about corruption and then slandering somali-americans makes my blood boil

Richmond County’s own Nicole Malliotakis giving off the same energy as one of the white people protesting southern school integration in photos from the 50s

Big smeagol vibes

The President who just took $10b from the Treasury for his personal slush fund is going to find all the fraud.

CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

This is unbelievable. Everyone of these slack-witted sycophants is proud of the fact that they stand when Trump tells them too. My dog has more independence than these clowns.

I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure I have PTSD from this. I still wake up thinking about the article I need to write to save USAID.

Holy shit balls. What blows foam here is establishment Dems could see/point to this as a reason to keep playing it safe instead of it being a referendum on the psychotic shit normies are seeing from the American Gestapo on social media every day. Take the big swings you need to take!

The grifter-in-chief is so predictable.

Trump's media company is directing viewers to his own commercial platform to watch a government address.

Trump & his family made almost $4 BILLION off of the presidency last year -- and he's still got 3 more to go.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

"Democrats are trying to take your hamburgers" was an entire agenda item Republicans ran on like, two years ago. This isn't to call out hypocrisy, as that's pointless, more to reflect on how everything continues to be stupid all the time.

The thing about elected Democrats attending the State of the Union is that Donald Trump used social media to call for the execution of elected Democrats mere months ago, like, if you're calling for my execution, I'm not attending your lie-filled speech. That's the only way to project dignity here.

surprised it took 4 months since I made this

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Why?

There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

People really need to come to grips with the likelihood the President raped teen girls and what it says about the country and particularly his party that he’s continuing to serve and cover it up.

This explains why I just got a fundraising email from Hakeem Jeffries asking if I could spare "just one day's worth of lunch money" to donate to Donald Trump

This may not be shit. But here are some investigations the GOP spent years on:

1. The Clintons losing money in a real estate deal
2. Hunter Biden spiraling into addiction after losing his brother, awakening the trauma of surviving, with that brother, the car accident that killed his mom and sister

Swing voters see Trump as a fascist dictator and the Democrats as spineless losers.

They’re pretty-cleared eyed and correct!

Outbursts would at least show these mythical swing voters that Democrats don’t like the Epstein file cover-up, tariffs, ICE, not giving a shit about cost of living, etc.

Were they looking at poll numbers for a different guy? Because the guy speaking at the SOTU is really unpopular, to the point where clapping politely could lose you votes
