Corrupt absolutely, but there is no evidence his anywhere near that clever

Republicans need to stop pretending like they have integrity…or patriotism.

Finally someone who understands this!!!

I am so ignorant when it comes to the crypto crap. This had not occurred to me!

The GOP is also grifting. It is not only 🍊💩, and his family doing the grift. This is 1 of the reasons they are silent. They, too, are getting richer off of the poor.

Shouldn’t there be a reconciliation committee to go after the proceeds of the crime once, or if, Trump is out?

Or will it just be criminals keeping hundreds of billions in stolen money in exchange for five minutes of Chuck Schumer’s outrage?

June 14th a month away. If you can't go to DC, take everyone you know to a local "NO KINGS" rally. No more sitting on the sidelines. We can get out in numbers like no one has ever seen! Send a clear message.

PS: Pray that it rains "Cats and Dogs" on Trump's Military/Birthday Parade in DC that day.

marinazee.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I want to see so many people in DC that it clogs the parade route and staging areas. Can't arrest everyone for peaceful protest!

too bad you will never know who is funneling to who.
ps; already going on

This is also stupid beyond all belief.

Horrible economics and trade poicy buy, unless we stop Trumpy and make everyone involved pay, the greatest con in history.

He probably will not make a “diplomatic trip” to Europe this term. He will only go to whomever offers him a bribe.

His whole plan is to make as much money as he can at the expense of the country. The law and the constitution be damned.

Since they've fired all the watchdogs, hired only sycophants and stacked the supreme court, there is no corruption anymore unless they agree that it is so.

I hope Ds go with figurative language that gets at the primary symbolism of impurity, stain, and pollution

The impure stench from the cavern, etc

And he can keep the markets on a roller coaster for as long as the republican congress allows it. Each climb and dive is another chance to profit at the expense of the outsiders.

How is Trump still walking the streets?

What he might do is completely capsize capitalism itself. Whenever people realize that money is not the only thing that they need that would be good.

annieetheridge.bsky.social•14 hours ago

After capitalism is hypercapitalism, then after hypercaitalism (we already went through it) is fascism. We are here. This won’t last long. It will create a dictator. That can be bad for the rest of our lives and make our daughters cult or breed stock.
Unless a hero leadership shows up…

Why is he still living...

watched one of the most depressing segments on Rachel Maddow last night when the former CDC director explained that due to the wonders of pharmaceuticals (that he wants to deny to others) & perhaps ‘that fat shot’ that he is actually healthier than in 2019
