🇺🇸🇪🇺 REPORT: FIVE EUROPEAN CHARITIES FUNNELED $2 BILLION INTO AMERICAN LEFT-WING GROUPS A new Americans for Public Trust (APT) report claims 5 foreign charities from the UK, Denmark, and Switzerland channeled nearly $2 billion into American left-wing NGOs since 2019, funding climate litigation, protests, and anti-Trump campaigns. The biggest players: Quadrature Climate Foundation (UK, $530M), Oak Foundation (Switzerland, $750M), and Children's Investment Fund Foundation (UK, $553M). Recipients include groups funding climate lawsuits, fossil fuel divestment campaigns, and activist organizations. While foreign nationals can't donate directly to US political candidates, they can pump billions into 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) nonprofits that fund protests, lobbying, and policy campaigns. APT calls it exploiting loopholes to push "extremist European vision for America." Source: ZeroHedge
Hahahaha! Americans for Public Trust is your source? You people really are stoopid!
Conway “In Trump’s mind, there is only him. He is everything. Everything is his. Everything is about him. Nothing else, no one else, matters. In his own mind, he is the law. Everyone must follow him. He is the only one who gets to say what is right and what is wrong. And what is right or wrong turns on how, at any given instant of time, it makes him feel, and upon how he thinks it affects him. This is textbook pathological narcissism. It is textbook sociopathy and psychopathy. These are textbook personality disorders. These are textbook psychiatric afflictions—indeed, an extreme illustration of them. Textbook mental illness. At this point, after all we have seen, there cannot be even the slightest doubt. And this leaves aside his seemingly apparent descent into the dementia that ended his father's life. Yet we, as a society and as a nation, largely refuse to discuss his mental condition—at least publicly. The accelerating destruction that he has wrought, and will continue to wreak, is on all of us—especially those who choose to look the other way.”
And Democrats wonder why their pleas about SNAP are failing..."An able-bodied woman on SNAP since George H.W. Bush was president. She has done nothing to wean herself off the government teat in 30 years"
Do you want men playing in women's sports or unrelentingly high crime? Are you opposed to massive energy cost reductions, large scale tax cuts, and basic common sense?
I don’t think you know much about common sense.
There needs to be a division in sports based on biology.
1. Trump is lying his face off. 2. Someone else is issuing Trumps pardons without his knowledge.
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Think about how difficult it must be to be a Trump lap dog in these days as his mental health deteriorates. His stooges in Congress are trying to spin a new propaganda campaign that all of Biden's pardons are invalid. Because of the "autopen". It is no doubt that they are doing this to please Trump and allow Trump to expand his retribution tour to Kinzinger, Cheney, Biden and others.
So Trump goes on national TeeVEE and sh!ts all over their efforts by saying he has absolutely no idea who he is pardoning. Kinda hard to spin that Biden narrative when Cheeto is publicly admitting he has no clue.
Next week’s Case on Tariffs is one of the most important in the History of the Country. If a President is not allowed to use Tariffs, we will be at a major disadvantage against all other Countries throughout the World, especially the “Majors.” In a true sense, we would be defenseless! Tariffs have brought us Great Wealth and National Security in the nine months that I have had the Honor to serve as President. The Stock Market has hit All Time Highs many times during my short time in Office, with virtually No Inflation, and National Security that is second to none. Our recent successful negotiation with China, and many others, put us in a strong position only because we had Tariffs with which to negotiate fair and sustainable Deals. If a President was not able to quickly and nimbly use the power of Tariffs, we would be defenseless, leading perhaps even to the ruination of our Nation. The only people fighting us are Foreign Countries who for years have taken advantage of us, those who hate our Country and, the Democrats, because our numbers are insurmountably good. I will not be going to the Court on Wednesday in that I do not want to distract from the importance of this Decision. It will be, in my opinion, one of the most important and consequential Decisions ever made by the United States Supreme Court. If we win, we will be the Richest, Most Secure Country anywhere in the World, BY FAR. If we lose, our Country could be reduced to almost Third World status — Pray to God that that doesn’t happen!
He forgot to thank us for our attention to this matter! I hope he is OK.
Here is a deeper dive into the case before the Court:
Updated on Oct. 31 at 8:42 a.m. On Nov. 5, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a pair of challenges to President Donald Trump’s power to impose sweeping […]
Judge Richard Taranto, an Obama appointee, wrote the dissenting opinion, which was joined by three other judges. He argued that “IEEPA’s language, as confirmed by its history, authorizes tariffs to regulate importation.”
That's an Obama appointee agreeing with Trump's position.
FantasyScotus, which predicts outcomes of Supreme Court cases, says "affirm" st 6-3. That means the lower court rulings, which state that Trump has exceeded his authority by imposing tariffs, will likely be upheld. Or, more directly, Trump is going to lose this one.
All are welcome to answer and thank you for doing so.
I could defend each of those cases on what I feel are their merits, as the charges were a tad more complex than how you explained them.
Instead I'm going to ask an asinine question, then explain why I think its irrelevant.
If Comey lied to Congress and James lied on her mortgage application, are their prosecutions valid?
I don't think so. I think they are politically motivated, and that the crimes, even if supported by evidence, should therefore not be prosecuted. I also think that Trump's prosecutions were political, and I'm in the minority here.
It's fine to be OK with political prosecutions, by the way. It's also fine to view Trump's four cases as non-political, and James and Comey's prosecutions as political. Again, thank you for answering my question.
Please defend Trump's cases on the Merits. I would love to read it.
Or for simplicity. Just pick one. The bathroom documents case.

If Biden (or any Democrat) did this, the right wing would have, rightfully, been calling for the 25th Amendment (if he really didn't know) or impeachment (if he did know and leveraged the Pardon power for another massive grift).
But instead we'll hear crickets. Or we'll hear whataboutism.

A week ago, a post had copies of three documents signed by Trump. From the beginning and end of term 1, and from a few months ago. The signatures were IDENTICAL. Trump has been using autopen for a very long time.

We won't know for quite some time.
You are clueless. Obama appointee agrees with LIMITED control WITH congressional oversight. Trump wants UNLIMITED control WITHOUT any oversight. Do you know what the difference is?
Very few should be on snap or any other benefits in the U.S. If you’re a Poor get a job or three. If you’re a Poor it’s probably not a good idea to have children. Why are so many people on benefits orca Fat? Haven’t missed too many meals. Reform needed, investigations into each case is needed. Too many able bodied people are gaming the system. Sugar should be very limited while using benefits, fatty snacks too. Get with it, have some self respect for yourself.
To argue that the bathroom documents case was biased political persecution means that you bought into Trump's BS narrative hook, line and sinker.
The national archives tried desperately to get these documents back without ANY fanfare. Multiple back and forth. Trump refused. Then they involved law enforcement to get those documents back and Trump refused. Then he lied. Then he lied again. Then his lawyers pleaded with him that he needed to return the documents. And he suggested that his lawyers lie more to the law enforcement and say they have them all. When his lawyers would not do that he obstructed his lawyers and lied to them. Then he hid the stuff from his lawyers that were charged with overseeing the return of the documents. Following this he enlisted his Mar A Lago employees to destroy evidence of his obstruction. When the FBI raided his home they gave him advance notice. They wore plain clothes. All to tone down the event. And they even missed a closet that they should have looked at in deference to the fact he was the President.
And during all of this, Trump was lying publicly giving all sorts of different versions of how he is right. Like he declassified the documents by thinking about them. He had no classified documents. All he had was personal memorabilia. The FBI planted the documents etc, etc.
How can you call that political weaponization? Trump's gross criminality brought case upon himself.

I am pleased that you realize that Trump won the 2020 election.
Please defend Trump's cases on the Merits. I would love to read it.

Be happy to grant your request...
Trump's defense was that the documents had been declassified and belonged to him. We will never know the answer, as the evidence was never presented in a court of law. Because the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith, which he did not have the authority to do.
Ancillary arguments that you should consider. Trump is not the only one accused of impropriety with classified documents. Hillary Clinton was accused, as was then-President Joe Biden. James Comey announced that he would not prosecute Clinton just before the 2016 election, and many feel that it cost us our first female President.
When Stephen Colbert announced Comey's firing by Trump, many in his Trump-hating audience cheered. Here's an article about it that has the clip, if you don't believe me:
Biden was interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Hur, who concluded that there was enough evidence to charge with him with a crime (not the same as "he is guilty of the crime"...an important distinction for anyone who thinks the evidence against Trump is "overwhelming"), but that a jury was unlikely to convict because he was:
Ben Hur? Oh, *Robert* Hur... wrote:
"...a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" with "diminished faculties in advancing age."
So there you have it. None of these cases went to trial. That's how guilt or innocence is determined in a court of law. A court of public opinion, of course, has a much looser standard.

He absolutely called up state officials in Georgia and asked them to find him the extra 12,000 votes he was short to win that state in the 2020 election.
What is wrong with asking to find lost votes?
Suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’
