Experts alarmed by Trumps’ crypto meme coins: ‘America voted for corruption’ excerpt: “There are shameful and major conflicts of interest with respect to his family business benefiting from his cryptocurrency policies,” said James Thurber, the founder and former director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies. Trump “does not seem to worry about the public interest with respect to cryptocurrency”, added Thurber. “He seems to be driven by profit and wanting to be a major part of the billionaire class in the US.”

My mom works for the federal government. She got a memo today asking for the names of all employees on probation--people hired in the last 12 months--as well as people with any complaints about them. They are all scheduled to be fired. Most politicians brag about creating and saving jobs, but this motherfucker...
The prick does not have a shred of decency in him. The episcopal lady that asked him to have mercy on those that are scared-( because of him) got called stupid among other things. Trump wants an apology for being told the truth. AS I said before--you do NOT confront a sick ,narcissistic prick in any way shape or form , especially if he has great power. They WILL NOT stand for it. And in turn--republicans have handed their nut sacks to trump to keep them aware of what he wants with a little squeeze now and then. Disgusting bastards!!

Trump in a fantasy world. ‘Very minor incidents’: Trump defends January 6 pardons in Hannity interview excerpt: "Vice-president JD Vance has previously stated that those who committed violence on January 6 “obviously” should not receive pardons. But media accounts suggest that Trump lost patience with the idea of going through the cases individually and wanted maximum impact on his first day in office. The Axios website reported: “Trump just said: ‘F--k it: Release ’em all,’” an adviser familiar with the discussions said.” Those pardoned include more than 250 people who were convicted of assault charges, some having attacked police with makeshift weapons such as flagpoles, a hockey stick and a crutch. Many of the attacks were captured on surveillance or body camera footage that showed rioters engaging in hand-to-hand combat with police as officers desperately fought to beat back the angry crowd. Yet in his interview with Hannity, Trump claimed: “Some of those people with the police – true – but they were very minor incidents, OK, you know, they get built up by that couple of fake guys that are on CNN all the time. They were very minor incidents and it was time.”"

Sen. Collins concerned about FBI report on Hegseth that reportedly omitted references to his personal problems such as drinking. Susan Collins: ‘Troubling’ that Hegseth FBI report omitted key information
Collins could always end up voting to confirm Hegseth anyway to run the military by saying that she believes, like she did with Trump's first impeachment, that Hegseth has learned his lesson and won't be a bad boy anymore. In the mean time, she will go through her usual mental anguish routine about how she is so stressed at having to decide whether or not to confirm Hegseth.
How Trump's proposed tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada (and now Russia?) could affect you excerpt: Either way, economists have been clear about the risks ahead. “The 2018-to-2019 trade war was immensely damaging, and [Trump’s universal tariff plan] would go so far beyond that it’s hard to even compare,” Erica York, senior economist at the Tax Foundation, a right-leaning think tank that opposes the tariffs, told the Washington Post earlier this year. “This threatens to upend and fragment global trade to an extent we haven’t seen in centuries.”
Much worse than damaged federal property, Trump's rioters caused hundreds of injuries, four deaths of his rioters, the death of police officer the next day, and the deaths by suicide of four police officers and four of his rioters in the weeks and months that followed the riot. A total of 13 people died.
