We know the Trump distraction cycle. Say something crazy and everyone chases it while we caution not to fall for the distractions. Followed by being told not to ignore them as distractions. But what if it's all just misdirection for the really evil plans? My latest: open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Uneffingbelievable!

Billionaires are quite the snowflakes, aren’t they?

Maybe because subconsciously, they KNOW it’s evil to hoard more resources than many countries have, while condemning the rest of us as expendable?

1. Media outlets have show little interest in an $18 million payment from Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted by the SEC for fraud, to President-elect Trump

It wasn't always this way

Consider how the NYT covered the alleged influence of foreign cash on then-candidate Hillary Clinton

I’m not sure how this got swept under the carpet, but President Biden’s efforts to combat junk fees will likely save Americans more than $20 billion annually. 👀

Ford pardoned Nixon. GHWB pardoned the Iran-Contra crew. Clinton pardoned Marc Rich and his half brother. Trump pardoned Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, and Charles Fucking Kushner!

Joe Biden pardoning his own son doesn't come close to any of those truly controversial pardons. Get a grip.

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people.

It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/

A Trump Judge Just Nixed Overtime Pay for Millions—and Media Yawned

Democrats are amazing

They can commit electoral fraud in an election when they're not in power, but won't commit fraud when they are in power.
Mike Johnson brags that there was no serious fraud in the 2024 election.

Funny how that works.
