This is tough to defend
Joseph Schwartz was convicted of a $39M healthcare fraud and sentenced to 36-months in prison
His nursing home empire collapsed and he didn't pay over 15,000 employees
After serving 3 months in prison, Schwartz was pardon by President Trump and his obligation to pay $5 million in restitution to the government was erased
It's reported that Schwartz paid $1M to lobby the White House to influence their decision
“I'm really scratching my head because I voted Republican, and most of us in the fishing industry did, and we're not seeing the the positives come out of it, why we voted that way.”
“Safe America,” a so-called media company, was incorporated just 11 days before it was handed $143 million in taxpayer money to produce a propaganda campaign starring cosplay Barbie.
And the company’s listed address? The Virginia home of longtime Republican operative Michael McElwain.
Eleven days old.
No track record.
$143 million contract.
This isn’t government. It’s a taxpayer-funded cash grab for political insiders. While Americans struggle to pay rent and groceries, Trump’s circle is handing nine-figure checks to their friends and calling it patriotism.
Less than a month after being elected, Tim Sheehy traveled to Israel record an ad for AIPAC
He just broke Brian McGinnis' arm for saying "Nobody wants to fight for Israel."
@Acyn How is MAGA that claims to care about government spending ok with this. You really fought over Snap benefits when THIS is happening. 143M to a company incorporated 8 days before the contract. WTF
Neguse: Where is this company headquartered?
Noem: I don’t know.
Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out.
You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?
@krassenstein MAGA is still defending this. The same maga that claimed Kamala would be the worst strictly because of this exact scenario are defending this…. HOW.
BREAKING: An Iranian ballistic missile appears to have struck the headquarters of the US Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain.
How much money is this costing us as we defund food to starving children and Medicaid?
Don’t worry guys, the American Defense companies will make lots of money along with their shareholders as gasoline prices skyrocket.
A new report reveals the racist right-wing Twitter account “johnnymaga” is operated by a taxpayer-funded White House staffer named Garrett Wade.
Wade called Trump’s video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes a “masterpiece.”
Just when you think that it can’t get any dumber out here….RFK Jr. comes along claiming that a keto diet can cure schizophrenia and erase bipolar disorder
It's funny how the QAnon folks finally got themselves a real-life pedophile cabal made up of rich white guys... and they can't even celebrate... because they elected one of the ringleaders president.
I grew up Republican. Still am in many ways. But MAGA pushed the party so far right that I get called a liberal now.
Let me explain the difference:
Traditional Republicans believe in:
• Fiscal responsibility (balanced budgets, not exploding deficits for tax cuts)
• Limited government (actual small government, not big government that punishes your enemies)
• Strong institutions (courts, elections, constitutional norms matter)
• Personal responsibility (your actions have consequences)
• Free markets (not tariffs and trade wars)
• Strong alliances (NATO, international partnerships)
• Rule of law (no one is above it, including the president)
MAGA Republicans believe in:
• Whatever Trump says today (even if it contradicts yesterday)
• Loyalty tests (agree 100% or you're a traitor/RINO)
• Conspiracy theories over facts (stolen election, deep state, QAnon adjacent stuff)
• Grievance politics (owning the libs > actual policy)
• Personality cult (Trump loyalty above party, above country, above truth)
• Performative outrage (culture war theater instead of governance)
• Ends justify means (storm the Capitol, ignore election results, whatever it takes)
I didn't move left. The party moved off a cliff.
I still believe in conservative principles. But when you say "maybe we should respect election results" or "fiscal responsibility matters" or "rule of law applies to everyone," you get called a liberal.
That's not conservatism. That's a cult.
@disclosetv Ok, so anything about people he doesn’t like in the files is true, but the 38K mentions of him aren’t???? The scariest part is his base knows that’s Ridiculous and they just don’t care.
@Modern___Sage@jakeshieldsajj 😂😂😂 saying this in the same thread that you’re defending the 2020 stolen election claim is INSANITY. You have to be trolling or…
@jakeshieldsajj Leftist Playbook:
Is it true?: it doesn't matter.
Does it make Trump look bad?: Yes
Is the true version easily accessible?: Yes
So why put out falsehood?: our base is stupid or they are too deranged to care.
OKAY, PUBLISH IT!
MAGA now is the time for us patriots to stand behind our president
Just because he raped a few kids and had another killed doesn’t mean he isn’t still our god king
As a true MAGA Patriot I’ll always stand with Trump because Jesus died on that cross for our sins

I didn't ask a question—I was explaining based on reports. If there's a specific response I missed, link it. Updated: Videos (per CNN, ABC) show Pretti's gun removed before 10 shots fired; DHS claims brandishing, but contradicted. Probes by HSI, BCA ongoing; some Republicans call for deeper review.
Alex Pretti woke up and said "Im gonna go commit a crime today. Oh wait I forgot my gun. Im gonna need this"
Another CNN, MSNBC radicalized idiot dies..
ICE millions of Americans support what youre doing 🙏
>>>>>8 U.S.C. § 1324(a) <<<<<
Based on reports from WaPo, NYT, and Wikipedia, Alex Pretti was filming agents (generally legal under First Amendment) and intervened to help a woman pushed down, which could be seen as impeding officers (potential 18 U.S.C. § 111 violation). He didn't block traffic per se but directed it. Videos contradict DHS claims he brandished a gun; he had a permit. Accounts vary—recommend reviewing footage for context.
@ContractJames@SarahLongwell25 This is the most important part of everything that’s going on. They seem extremely confident in maintaining power for the foreseeable future.
Part of what strikes me about Trump, Noem, Bovino, Miller, et al and their willingness to lie in the face of overwhelming video evidence, is their absolute certainty in the tribal stupidity and cynicism of their supporters—especially on here—who will blindly repeat their lies.
