The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.

The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

Legend! Nancy Leftenant-Colon, the first Black woman to join the U.S. Army Nurse Corps after military desegregation, has passed away Jan 8 2025 at the age of 104. A trailblazer, she quietly broke barriers during her career, serving in WWII, Korea, and the Vietnam War.

Looks like Trump is not the only one who feels humiliated by Congress' Epstein bill. Now Todd Blanche is livid in his role with Maxwell & going legally after Democrats who told the military not follow illegal orders, such as shooting YOU in the legs.

Pete Hogsex immediately fired all military JAGs.

“I felt like I was watching a propaganda video by one of our enemies trying to recruit the military to become spies,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Sean Hannity.

"Nigel Farage has been paid over £330,000 by GB News in the last year alone.

Farage is deep in the pockets of a company that aims to replace the BBC".

Punchy video from @eddavey.libdems.org.uk.
Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

Trump is absolutely cratering on economy in new Marquette poll:

Overall econ approval: 36-64
On tariffs: 37-63
On inflation/cost of living: 28-72 (!!!)

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

The rainforest the world forgot.

The Congo basin is the second largest rainforest on Earth, and a critical defence against climate breakdown and species loss.

Why then, is it so neglected?

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

What he's describing is called corruption. Quid pro quo. Pay-to-play. Whether it's foreign govs funding his co's "development" projects, or supposedly "investing" in US mfg, or his fake-ass currency and tacky af merch, it's all unethical, a conflict of interest, and possibly illegal, as well.

there were periods where you could have a part time service job that covered college classes and rent! so often i'd read about artists in the 60s and 70s who also paid for studio spaces they could stock with supplies, who had the leisure time to party and create their great works. robbed, i tell ya!

There wouldn't be millions of impoverished American dependent on insurance subsidies, food subsidies, rent subsidies, utiliy subsidies, et cetera if we forced companies to pay their employees a living wage.

But neither party wants to do that.

So here we are.
