The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Thread on CDC shooting👇...
Good morning.
Yesterday, after hours of hiding, trying not to make a sound, we stepped outside and saw massive bullet holes in our office windows.
Those weren’t random shots. That was a high-powered weapon no civilian should ever own.

Hearing Trump speak is often like hearing the voices of enslavers echoing down the centuries.
Trump on undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people do it naturally. Naturally ... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

Hassett’s claim that routine revisions are “hard evidence” of rigging is a fabricated argument aimed at convincing the simplest minds. Revisions are normal and expected. It’s basic statistics. Turning this into “proof” of fraud is just cynical spin designed to mislead the MAGA base.

Hassett says the economy is good if you just ignore the jobs report: "While the jobs numbers had this big kind of mysterious revision, if they didn't have the revision, then the jobs numbers were fully consistent with the 3% GDP growth we also saw last week."
