I encourage you to point and laugh at anyone who claims Trump ever needed justification to abuse his pardon power.

Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.

Hey, CNN! Wanna know why we’re sick of corporate media? This is why. Y’all are bitching about Biden, who is leaving office soon & will be out of politics, “reneging on a promise” about pardoning his son instead of focusing the extremely dangerous naming of Kash Patel as FBI Director. Ridiculous

It’s a mistake to ask this question because it assumes Trump’s rationality.
He wants to do this because it makes him feel powerful. He doesn’t care if the effects are good or bad. Indeed, the more destruction he causes, or the more people fear destruction he may cause, the more powerful he feels.

A question I've been debating with economist friends is what Trump is trying to accomplish with his tariffs. I mean, he can't be demanding that Canada and Mexico — with whom we have a free trade agreement! — open their markets. Now he says it's about immigration and drugs 2/

So sad. And we could have prevented it, but noooo. Y’all wanted cheaper eggs and hate instead. 😕
In 55 days, this building will become the epicenter of corruption on our planet.

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).

Truths about healthcare:
The ACA and Obamacare are the same thing
Medicare is run by the federal government
Biden and the Democrats used Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for everyone, including $35/month insulin and inhalers

EFF you so much, drumph voters for 🦆ing with my mom’s healthcare and income. If you think you’re safe from this, too bad. You’ll be 🦆ed too. 🤬
Happy to summarize this for everyone: Donald Trump and his agents are going to kill poor people to slide a lot more money into the pockets of billionaires.
They will do it proudly, with eyes wide open, and without any shame whatsoever, because fundamentally they hate the poor and idolize the rich.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.
You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
