Fred is FED UP!

Once Democrats control the House and start investigations, @realDonaldTrump will become the ultimate pissbaby #trumpisapissbaby

This is the BEST, most hilarious breakdown I have seen of the absurd rationales I have heard trying to justify trump's idiotic war. BRILLIANT! 👏👏👏

Iran drops another one.

The flagrant corruption in Washington is so extreme and outrageous. The Trump White House passed an executive order, which Wall Street had lobbied for, promoting private equity and private credit firms, cynically framing it as "democratizing access to alternative assets for 401(K) investors". In reality, Washington did this so wealthy investors in illiquid private credit funds, which made bad loans to struggling companies on the verge of default, could have exit liquidity, thereby leaving retirees and pension funds holding the bag. Now we learn that the US regime has been in bed with one of the worst culprits in the private credit industry, Blue Owl, and at least 33 members of the Trump administration have invested in Blue Owl’s funds. Blue Owl's stock crashed 40% in the first three months of 2026, after it limited withdrawals amid a private credit crisis. This comes just a few months after the White House tried to dump these garbage investments on retirees and pension funds. This should be a huge scandal, but unfortunately it's just a drop in the ocean of extreme corruption, shady financial schemes, and rampant insider trading in the US.

Trump got played by Iran. He is literally the worst negotiator in the history of the world.

But not a strategic success, the thing you're supposed to get at the end of a war

A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak. This is not a talented trader. "We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row. That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research. That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes. Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses. There are only two explanations and both should terrify you. Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime. Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse. This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call. While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings. You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

It’s in the 10 point plan, but sure.

This is unreal: "As tensions escalated, one U.S. official went so far as to invoke the Avignon Papacy, the period in the 1300s when the French Crown leveraged its military power to dominate the papal authority. The Department of Defense and the Nunciature did not respond to requests for comment."

@TheRickWilson @LynnNelson58491 I'd like to see him try, said the Pope.

@TheRickWilson Unbelievable. Threatening the Vatican and the Pope? It's an assault on the Catholic Church and Catholics everywhere. A president making threats is committing a crime. IMPEACH HIM.

@DavidAFrench @JenniferEValent My God, the Trump official threatening the Pope sounds like such a drama queen. The reference to the Avignon Papacy is totally over the top!

@DavidAFrench Not unreal for the Trump regime. The world fails to see what the US is well on its way to becoming: a hyperpower that will force the world to submit to it—or else.

Tapper: The statement from Iran's supreme national security council did not fit the messaging that the Trump administration wanted to project. And instead of calling out the Iranian regime, President Trump attacked CNN by falsely claiming we made it up. We didn't make it up.

After spiking oil prices, taking sanctions off Iran, Russia and Belarus AND depleting US air defense missiles to the point that Ukraine is likely cut off, Putin's wishlist nears completion. Just one more for good measure.. Trump to discuss withdrawing US from NATO with Rutte.

Hey Maga 👋 Explain why Trump would fire Pam Bondi, rush her out of D.C, & then tell her not to testify about the Epstein files. That screams guilt where we're from.
