@robin16633 @JamesTate121 Try actually reading the replies.

I've recently been corrected by a bunch of people that I made a mistake with this post. I find it funny that all they could do is try to belittle me and talk bad about Pres. Trump. Maybe if the Dems taught the technique of constructively criticizing we could all get better instead of more arguing.

A new watchdog report from the Government Accountability Oversight Project alleges that President Donald Trump directed $3 billion in federal funds toward his own properties and political allies. The report claims this was achieved through a series of classified security agreements and no-bid contracts authorized during his final year in office. Investigators suggest that emergency national security designations allowed these properties to receive federal payments at rates significantly higher than market value. The most substantial allegation involves a $1.2 billion security agreement at Mar-a-Lago, an amount that reportedly exceeds the security budget of any private residence in U.S. history. While the Trump legal team has dismissed these findings as a partisan attack, federal investigators are currently reviewing the data. If verified, this would represent the largest alleged self-dealing scheme by a president in the history of the United States. Critics have noted that the funds in question were drawn from the national treasury, which traditionally supports essential services such as veterans' hospitals and disaster relief. While no formal charges have been filed, the scale of the alleged diverted funds has sparked intense debate over executive accountability. The Government Accountability Office has yet to issue a formal comment on the specific findings of the report.

@BasedMikeLee @AAGDhillon Mike, this is fascinating! I can't wait for you to tell us exactly how Harmeet "reviewed" all those files (What does a voter registration file actually look like? How about a sample?) and ferreted out the non-citizens. How many files did she read to find "tens of thousands?"

“Noncitizens don’t vote,” they told us And then @AAGDhillon started reviewing voter rolls After examining only about a third of all voter-registration files, she’s found tens of thousands of noncitizens registered to vote There are many more We need the SAVE America Act

@FederalDiamonds @BernieSanders Points taken. If you believed in medicare for all funded by increasing taxes on the rich and Bernie hired you as his PR guy, how would you make his case?

$0 in taxes. 20% premium hike. 1,800 jobs cut. $21M CEO pay. $6.57B profit. Five facts, listed in sequence, presented as a single indictment. The list does the arguing the logic doesn’t. A company can pay $0 in federal income taxes through legal deductions in a loss year, raise premiums for actuarial reasons, cut jobs for operational ones, and still post profits. None of that requires the others. Listing them together implies a single extractive mechanism without demonstrating the connection. That’s evidence laundering through list formatting: verified facts sharing visual weight with unverified causal claims. “Yes. We must tax the rich and enact Medicare for All” completes it. One company’s financial profile becomes proof that the entire system requires a complete overhaul. The policy conclusion was already written. The CVS data just got recruited to support it.

This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like: Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 billion in profit. Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All.

@DanCampbel44604 @ImBreckWorsham Do you seriously believe Trump has qualms about bystanders being shot?

@ImBreckWorsham No way Trump agreed to have bystanders shot just so you could post some BS. Focus.

I worked for years as a victims rights advocate and Officer of the Court. Butler was staged. How do I know? Never once in all my time in that role did a victim of a violent crime come forth and request the investigation be closed.

@BuzzPatterson The top 2 candidates for California governor are Republicans? By what criteria? I'm going to vomit. I think most of the California electorate will join me.

This is absolutely hysterical! Democrats have used the jungle primary in California for 14 years requiring the top 2 candidates, regardless of party, to move forward to the general election. It has served them well. So well, in fact, that if a Republican even wins a primary, it’s been considered a “win.” Now, Republicans have gained the upper hand and have THE top 2 candidates for governor. As it stands, 2 Republicans will advance to the general and shut out the Dems. How do Democrats react? They demand an end to the jungle primary. 🤣🤣🤣 So predictable.

@NateAFischer Catholic nuns don't fund anything, you fucking nitwit. Polish up your bullshit talking points or get the fuck off my feed.

It may seem absurd that Rhodes, who tried for years with Obama to force Catholic nuns to fund abortions, believes Trump faces a greater conflict with the Catholic Church over immigration and foreign policy. But maybe he’s right: perhaps the Catholic establishment never really cared about the Little Sisters of the Poor, and will fight far harder against Republicans than they ever would against Dems.

@BK_McCallum @Katnuss72 @briantylercohen Review the history of this war to date. Trump's the one who "postures." What the Iranians say, you can pretty much take to the bank.

@brianskeptical @Katnuss72 @briantylercohen Simply posturing. The reality is we control it.

At least 13 dead Americans, 400 wounded, near-record high gas prices, and $50+ billion spent all so that we could be in the same exact position as when this war started.

@BK_McCallum @Katnuss72 @briantylercohen Bullshit. kyivindependent.com/iran-threatens…

@brianskeptical @Katnuss72 @briantylercohen No. I didn't notice because it's not true. We control the Strait. We decide who can transit, not Iran.

@BK_McCallum @Katnuss72 @briantylercohen That's not what Iran says. And they're there; you're not.

@BK_McCallum @Katnuss72 @briantylercohen You didn't notice that Iran is in solid control of the Strait?

@Katnuss72 @briantylercohen How has Iran positioned strengthened?

@EricLDaugh When was the last time Trump's announcement of an agreement turned out to be accurate? I'll wait.

🚨 BREAKING: Iran has agreed to NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS and they will HAND OVER the nuclear dust, per President Trump This is a monumental win! "Very important is that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon and they've agreed to that! Iran's agreed to that and they've agreed to it very powerfully." "They've agreed to give us back the nuclear dust that's way underground because of the attack we made with the B-2 bombers." "So we have a lot of agreement with Iran and I think something's going to happen very positively."

@marklevinshow Your manufactured cause and effect relationship seems tragically flawed.

President Trump’s blockade is working. It’s breaking Iran. That’s why they’re pressure from Europe and elsewhere to lift it.

@APBIOonly @KDbyProxy @brianbeutler Predictable response from the intellectually challenged.

@brianskeptical @KDbyProxy @brianbeutler If you can’t figure it out. I can’t help you

1. The new MAGA line on Orban—“if your entrenched ruling party can lose everything in a wave election, you are not living in an authoritarian state”—is fallacious, and something they plainly don’t believe. Unless maybe they’re prepared to abide Trump-style abuses turned on them.

@APBIOonly @KDbyProxy @brianbeutler Why, exactly, is this an "lol?" Use your words.

@KDbyProxy @brianbeutler lol 😂

@YouWishUwere4US @AzRepGillette Having "broken in," did you: 1. cast a fraudulent vote 2. Change the votes of others 3. Delete votes before they were counted ? If you didn't do any of these things, why should I credit your implied contention that you could have?

@brianskeptical @AzRepGillette Broke into our electronic tabulators. How did you not know that yet?

This is why we need the SAVE ACT passes today! We are getting these from across the state.

@RepPatHarrigan When was the last time Trump said someone had agreed to something and it turned out to be true? I'll wait.

Hope it is true, but China made the same promise about Russia, denied arming them at every turn, and 80% of the critical components found in Russian drones ended up being Chinese. A verbal commitment from Beijing is a starting point, not a guarantee, and we better be watching closely. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

@YouWishUwere4US @AzRepGillette Define "got into."

You are speaking out of ignorance. I got into our election system with my iPhone and so did hundreds of other people in the same room with me hundreds of miles away from the machines. If you actually really CARE about your vote, you would check it out and try to secure it. If you WANT to see how, let me know and I’ll share.

@Gr8PlainsRises @omaha_scanner @MmHabitual @OmahaPolice MAGAs' inability to stay on topic is jaw dropping.

@omaha_scanner @MmHabitual @OmahaPolice Rest in Piss to that piece of shit foreigner who has no right to be here in the first place

.@OmahaPolice have provided an update regarding the officer-involved shooting at 1606 S 72nd Street earlier today. The suspect was identified as Noemi Guzman, 31. The Omaha Police Department is asking any independent witnesses who may have observed or recorded any actions of Ms. Guzman during this incident to please contact the department directly at 402-444-4877. Please reference Report Number: AA31063 when calling. Your information could be valuable to the ongoing investigation. (1/2)

@YouWishUwere4US @AzRepGillette Never saw a reply so riddled with unsubstantiated rumor and inuendo (and likely outright bullshit).

Representative John Gillette, would you please keep in mind that even if the save act passes those electronic voting machines are arrogant there is an open door back door. There is a way to flip the votes and they have and we have shown patterns and we’ve shown interruptions we’ve shown where they have gotten into our elections and yes where they’ve literally flipped the votes live on television. You’re gonna have to get around that even if they say act passes, be prepared cause we’ve got a fight coming onto you.

@vasalex93 @z_e_silver Nonsense. Ukraine is producing large numbers of the most effective drones designed to date, for example.

@z_e_silver They have no weapons. Everything they have is provided to them free of charge by western tax payers. The only people that should be idolized are Western tax payers. Every Ukrainian every second should be praising the West. We don’t need Ukraine but they need us.

If the United States wasn’t so polarized, this man would be (rightfully) lionized and idolized as a one of the greatest world leaders of the 21st Century. I pray one day he will get his due.
