Trump got caught on a hot mic saying he wants to deport U.S. citizens—insinuating to El Salvador’s president he intends to send “homegrown criminals” there.
Let’s be clear: He’s talking about Americans.
This isn’t tough talk. It’s dictator talk. He’d burn the Constitution if it got in his way.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point.
If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Someone needs to tell these assholes that no one cares about their feelings. They need to either leave the firm or shut up and accept the disgrace that comes with being affiliated with collaborating with Trump.

Now that Wall Street correctly believes, in light of his tariffs, that Trump is insane, is it really going to look with favor upon the law firms that shamelessly caved to him?

This is open grift and corruption from the President of the United States. And if you can’t admit that it’s a problem, you’re in the grip of a cult.
Every time he does this, he degrades our entire country. It’s also sad. Many Americans who trust him will lose their savings.

You know what the real scam of Social Security is?
If you make above $168,800/year, the government STOPS taxing you on every dollar above that.
Billionaires like Musk and Trump NEVER pay their fair share — and now they want to take OUR money away!!?!
