Just so FOX news could find video footage of him being bareheaded at some other transfer ceremony and then "accidently" publish it instead of the footage of him so disrespectfully wearing the baseball cap. When Fox was caught, they were so sorry for the inadvertent booboo. 🙄

Trump is crowing about a new refinery coming to Brownsville. There’s a fully permitted refinery on the books for Yuma that could be under construction this morning if investors were interested. In the fifteen years since the permits were approved, investors haven’t seen fit to put their money into a new refinery.

I saw Wright on TV boasting about how it was going to bring down gas prices. Awesome how cabinet secretaries just go on and fucking lie point blank to the nation on what is now an almost hourly basis.

Well duh, the current run them at capacity and then take advantage of sport shortages to spike prices when downtime is needed approach makes far more money.

Replace the workers with AI-powered robots that can’t unionize and won’t file OSHA lawsuits and problem solved! Nearby residents *might* have some questions though…
 
LOL, Trump’s business interests may have inadvertently funded Iranian-linked terror groups. Whoopsie! Maybe next time, get to know the guy you’re pardoning BEFORE you issue the pardon.

Binance sues WSJ, panicked by gov’t probes into sanctioned crypto transfers

Binance’s lawsuit accusing WSJ of defamation unlikely to stall government probes.
arstechnica.com arstechnica.com
Binance is hoping that suing The Wall Street Journal for defamation might help shake off a fresh round of government probes into how the cryptocurrency exchange failed to detect $1.7 billion in transfers to a network that was funding Iran-backed terror groups….Binance’s role in the large-scale violation of US sanctions laws is currently being investigated by the Justice and Treasury Departments. Congress members also took notice, including Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), who launched an additional inquiry.

…After Donald Trump controversially pardoned Binance founder Zhao for his 2023 crypto crimes, the president admitted that “I don’t know who he is.” Alarmed by the pardon, some lawmakers like Blumenthal are concerned that “instead of actually preventing illicit use, Binance has sought to evade accountability and influence the White House through lobbying and a financial partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the cryptocurrency firm owned by the sons of President Trump and his special envoy Steve Witkoff.”

According to Blumenthal, Binance is now a “vital engine” of Trump’s family business, as “about 85 percent of WLFI’s stablecoins (USD1) are held in Binance accounts.”

To ensure that Binance isn’t using its potential influence to dodge accountability for its role in allowing “the illicit use of cryptocurrencies, including by Iranian and Russian entities, to bypass US sanctions,” Blumenthal is seeking a wide range of records. Despite shedding some light on why Binance claims it fired its compliance staff, Binance’s complaint, which seems to depend on the court making the same inferences from WSJ’s report as the exchange does, most likely will not satisfy the senator’s inquiry.

In truth Trump could probably care less even if the iranian-linked terror group bomb american targets; as long as he gets his $$$ cut.

Sadly they are worse then snowflakes given the damage they are causing both nationally and internationally. Pity they won't just melt away like snow flakes.
 
I'm wondering as an American what is most difficult to come to terms with: Living with Trump as president or that so many of your fellow citizens thought that was the best candidate?

A plurality of our moron voters getting caught up in the global anti-incumbency wave after COVID is disappointing but not shocking. Trump was a known pile of shit and the results would be shit so no surprise there either. However swing Trump voters who now do regret their moronic decision with "how could we know" or "we didn't vote for that" produce a nearly uncontrollable urge in me to kick them in the genitals, repeatedly.

Plenty of voters approach voting like being a consumer too, which is a moronic way to approach politics. You're choosing who is going to exercise power for the next X years, not picking out a friend or making a statement about your internal morals; if you abstain, you're giving up your power. And further, as a country with a government ostensibly "of the people, by the people, and for the people", actions the government takes, regardless of who you voted for, are in some ways a reflection on us all: there is no way to be morally pure.

If you consider that half the country is below the average intelligent quotient, it explains the numbers that correlate to the number of Trump voters. These folks voted for lower gas prices so they could continue to drive their monster trucks and buy eggs and beer, and against Harris because they didn't like the way she laughed. Once you throw in the fact that Trump was going to deport illegals and make sure your daughter doesn't lose to a trans person in a junior high school swimming match it all makes sense.

I'd love to kick them in the nuts, punch all the Dem establishment pols in the face, and throw every MAGA voter into a pit of vipers.

People will always be dumb and hopeless, but part of the reason a bunch of voters are dumb is because of a long-game plan by the right to use media in various forms, and their leadership, to put us here, and melt their minds.

The Dem establishment had zero long game, did not counter any of this, was oblivious about so many things really, and the mainstream media is also complicit completely, and the Dems for not calling their shameful asses out because the Dems were clueless and focusing more on suppressing actual progressives than stopping the right.

And also have zero balls.
