The Trump administration claims to be “ending the weaponization of government," but behind Trump's Orwellian day one executive order is a blueprint for turning the DOJ into his own personal political weapon. We’ve seen it used against judges and now, it’s being aimed at a sitting member of Congress.

Our grifter-in-chief got his shady benefactors to pump nearly $150 million into his worthless meme coin. Now he’s hosting them for a fancy country club dinner. Meanwhile, moms are getting ready to lose healthcare and kids will have less food in the fridge. What a disgrace.

I hope they do arrest James Comey for the photo of sea shells. It will vividly illustrate to Americans who ignore politics and political news until a couple months before elections how truly demented and autocratic these freaks are, because they are just getting started.

Unconfirmable creep Ed Martin now says he will use the Dept of Justice to “name and shame” people against whom he can’t prove a criminal case. That’s precisely what DOJ does not do. If you can’t make your case, you thank the agents, shut up and move on.

Always remember: Trump IS consistent about the only things that matter to him: 1) staying out of jail 2) revenge and 3) getting rich Tariffs are ultimately an excuse for him to get Fox News to fawn over his phony "deals" while he travels the globe collecting airplanes and family crypto bribes
