@DeanBaker13 They would have to tell him everyday.

Can't any of Trump's aides tell him that he doesn't want to be boasting about the fact that his doctors keep testing him for dementia?

Harry Truman left the White House with almost nothing. No large fortune. No presidential pension. No motorcade waiting to carry him into retirement. On January 20, 1953, Harry and Bess Truman climbed into their own Chrysler and drove themselves home to Independence, Missouri. His approval ratings were low. Critics called his presidency a failure. Much of Washington was relieved to see him leave office. What shocked many people later was how little money a former president actually received at the time. Truman’s only steady income came from a small Army pension worth just over one hundred dollars a month. Financial pressure became so serious that he reportedly needed bank loans simply to cover daily living expenses. The situation became so embarrassing for the country that Congress eventually created pensions for former presidents. But Truman never spent his retirement chasing sympathy or public praise. Back in Independence, he returned to a simple routine. He walked through town without heavy security. He answered his own telephone. He personally responded to letters from ordinary Americans. On his desk remained the famous sign: “The buck stops here.” While Truman lived quietly, the impact of his presidency continued growing. The Marshall Plan helped rebuild Europe after World War II. The Truman Doctrine became a foundation of American Cold War policy. In 1948, he ordered the desegregation of the United States military despite fierce political opposition. When General Douglas MacArthur publicly challenged presidential authority during the Korean War, Truman removed him from command, protecting civilian control of the military even though the decision damaged his popularity. Then history delivered one final moment of recognition. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson traveled to the Truman Library to sign Medicare into law. During the ceremony, Johnson handed the first Medicare cards to Harry and Bess Truman. It carried special meaning because Truman had pushed for national health insurance decades earlier and faced enormous backlash for it at the time. By the end of his life, public opinion had changed dramatically. The man once dismissed as weak and unpopular came to be viewed as one of the most consequential presidents of the twentieth century. Harry Truman never chased applause. He simply accepted responsibility for difficult decisions and lived long enough to see history reconsider them. Story based on historical records. This post is for educational purposes.

When the Feds got his phone, they discovered this guy was talking to another pedo about getting married and "adopting" a baby boy to "f*ck and groom." He also admitting to raping a little kid. People like this should be put to death in public as a warning to every pedophile.

An old feeble man who is up at 2 AM tweeting garbage, is unilaterally deciding the fate not only of our country, but with his three month old war, impact on the world.. Shame on you congressional Republicans!

@Villgecrazylady @merissahansen17 She was my Dad’s rep. Wouldn’t even answer an email requesting help as a senior.

Elise Stefanik is one of the most grossly corrupt politicians of the 21st Century. She is a fraud and a huckster who used illegal Smurf donations to her campaign committees to launder tens of millions of dollars to herself and her crony consultants during her time in office. In the 2 year 2024 cycle she “raised” over $26.2 million across her 4 campaign committees and spent over $13.4 million of it on everything from luxury hotels to private jets with millions spent on “consulting” for her race despite having no primary challengers and representing an R+12 house district. Her Democrat challenger raised just $149,000 total. Elise spent more than $250k from just one of her committees on “political strategy consulting.” She would be an absolute disaster as DNI and would be wholly under the control of Israel lobby- her biggest funders while she was in Congress.

It would be nice if, next time, Americans elected an adult as US President—and not a spoiled, narcissistic child who likes to act like a piece of shit in public.

Not getting enough attention: the one-page order from Todd Blanche to wipe out every audit of Donald Trump. Many experts believe it’s illegal, and here’s why. Federal law prohibits the President or his aides from directing or halting an IRS audit. Agents who carry out a politically motivated audit, or stop one at the direction of the White House, can face prison time. That is the statute on the books. Now look at what just happened. Todd Blanche, the Acting Attorney General and Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, signed a one-page order demanding the IRS drop every existing audit of Trump, his family, and their “affiliates.” One of those audits reportedly could have cost Trump more than $100 million. The Treasury Department’s top lawyer resigned over it. The acting top IRS lawyer had to recuse himself because he previously represented Trump in his tax cases. There is no precedent for an Attorney General ordering an end to audits of a group of taxpayers. Many experts say the Attorney General has no authority to do this. So we have a likely illegal order, signed by the President’s former lawyer, on behalf of the President, protecting the President. And the only people with jurisdiction to investigate it work for the President. I will fight this with every tool I have.

@Emolclause I’m sorry, what?

#BREAKING: Lawrence: “… so, Donald Trump is asked if he’s losing control of the Senate and his answer is I don’t know. So that means Donald Trump KNOWS he has completely lost control of the Republican Senate. And then he says, I don’t need money…for the ballroom. Remember when he said when he was first running for president in 2015…he promised he would not ask for a single campaign contribution because he was so rich, he would pay for his campaign himself, and he was collecting…contributions for his campaign the NEXT WEEK after that lie? I don’t need money, was Donald Trump’s lie of the day.”😂😳

@mehdirhasan They actually cheered… Ladies and gentlemen we’ve found the people who think network sitcoms are funny and laugh at talking baby commercials.

Kill. Me. Now.

We are witnessing the systematic purging of conscience from government. Charlie Kirk, MTG, Massie, Joe Kent, Tulsi Gabbard. Anyone who opposes the Iran war is getting eliminated or resigning for "family reasons." A very, very bad sign about what they're planning next.

It’s actually much worse. There are Epstein victims who want to provide evidence to DOJ but are not being allowed to. But Ghislaine Maxwell gets two days with Blanche personally and then moves to a camp. The cover up is massive.

MAGA and Trump became worse than the left. They primaried Massie, they are pushing warrantless FISA spying, mandating car kill switches, dragging us into a war with Iran, and justifying letting gas hit $5+. The only way to stop them is to brutally defeat them this November and permanently strip them of power. If they are not stopped, they will come for Rand Paul next.

The soul remembers what the mind forgets. In this beautiful moment, Yvon Kanters sings Ave Maria with Rudy, a tenor living with dementia. Dementia can take names, dates, and memories. But it cannot erase the music God planted deep in the soul. For a few minutes, suffering gives way to beauty. The room becomes a chapel. And grace reminds us: every human life is still sacred, still loved, and still capable of reflecting God. ❤️
