California has 27.7% of the US Homeless population. It also has the highest supplemental poverty rate in the country (13.2%, national average is 9.8%). In terms of those receiving public assistance, California has 15.8% of the US total. So the truth is in the middle.
Real Obvi - just got owned. Taken out to the woodshed. OUCH!
People are giving Trump a hard time for seemingly getting bored and burnt out on the campaign trail.
But think of this. This guy has been running for President for the last 10 years of his life. And that’s not including his 2012 campaign.
It’s fucqing pathetic.
I've gotten a tiny bit of satisfaction out of the idea that Trump laughs at the mouth breathers who support him.
But I don't think that it ever fully dawned on me until just now JUST HOW pathetic it is that a very rich old man needs visit poor red America and bathe in the adulation of people he has nothing in common with, and has zero respect for? How bizzare and massively insecure is that?

Trump has done so many great thing, you can't even begin to count them.
Perfect - the singular self-own.
Yes, he did in fact do ONE decent thing and endorsed the COVID vaccine. But then he later waffled and backtracked on even that. The man has never met something he couldn't screw up... or at least try to screw.
Even that is too kind. I obviously don't know the exact ratio of his pro- to anti-vaccine comments and actions (although his at-least-partially hiding his own vaccination is a huge anti-vaccine data point), but we know the net result VERY clearly. Much greater vaccine avoidance among Rs, and much greater death.
Since, as Agip says, 100% of other presidents would have green-lighted Warp Speed, I think that that "accomplishment" pales in comparison to his net anti-vax actions. He gets an F+ or D- on Covid vaccines. And overall on Covid, a straight F.
Fired the pandemic response team and allowed Covid to ravage the country
Laughed off the podium at the UN
Bent over for Putin
Saluted a North Korean general
Grifted hundreds of millions in federal tax dollars through his golf properties
Stole military secrets
Incited an insurrection.
Failed to build a wall, Failed to balance the budget, Failed to give us new healthcare, Failed to deliver in infrastructure. Failed to deliver on every single one of his campaign promises.
He was an abject failure.
The list goes on an on. You've seen it before.
That's just about silly style points. His POLICIES are awesome.
What specific Trump policies do you like so much and how do they effect your life?
If I recall correctly, AITR/Winston was blaming America and Britain for WWII a few weeks ago.
What the fvck happened to these MAG@ people? How can an adult mind flip so backwards and demented in such a short period without even realizing it? Never seen or heard of anything like it.
Looks like Musk was for this before he was against it. Maybe being full-on German Nazi apologist isn't ready for MAG@ prime time yet.

But 9 years later, still at it.
I agree.
But I think he has no choice, because he may very well be being manipulated by someone who has dirt on him or he owes money to, etc., and that may be a Putin or someone else in power somewhere.
It is also likely that he does this to stay out of jail (self-pardon if he gets elected, and immunity from prosecution). And it is also likely that he does it to further his brand, for the profit of Trump enerprises and his family.
“The sanctuary city law is pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s crazy,” Jim Quinn, a veteran ex prosecutor at the Queens Districts Attorney’s office, told The Post.

Keep in mind that Trump knows all the crimes he has committed. Even the many that he wasn’t indicted for.
I believe that if Trump knew he would not be indicted he wouldn’t have run for President again. But everyone around him was being subpoenaed and he knew why they were being subpoenaed. Because he knew the indictments were coming he needed to go back to being president or at least a candidate to claim it was all election interference. None of that would fly if he was a private citizen. Also the fundraising grift needed him to announce.
Case Name Court of Jurisdiction Charges/Counts Status of co-defendants Expected trial date Indictment United States of America v. Donald J. Trump, Waltine Nauta, and Carlos De Oliveira United States District Court, Southern District of Florida Willful Retention of National Defense Information (18 U.S.C. § 793(e)); Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice (18 U.S.C. §1512(k)); Withholding a Document or Record (18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(b)(2)(A), 2); Corruptly Concealing a Document or Record (18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(c)(1), 2); Concealing a Document in a Federal Investigation (18 U.S.C. §§ 1519, 2); Scheme to Conceal (18 U.S.C. §§ 1001(a)(1), 2); False Statements and Representations (18 U.S.C. §§ 1001(a)(2), 2). Illegally mishandling several classified records after leaving the presidency, taking them to and storing them at his personal estate at Mar-a-Lago. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon set specific parameters for how and when Trump can review the evidence, as well as barring him from publicly discussing sensitive material. Walt Nauta, a valet to Trump, is a co-defendant charged in the scheme to conceal classified government documents from federal investigators. Carlos De Oliveira, a Mar-a-Lago property manager, is a co-defendant. According to the indictment, he told an employee at Mar-a-Lago that "the boss" wanted security video deleted after federal investigators requested the recordings from Trump's attorneys. He is also accused of making false statements to the government. Indefinitely postponed. Originally scheduled for May 20, 2024, Judge Cannon indefinitely postponed the trial claiming that setting a trial date at this point “would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court.” Link The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump Supreme Court of the State of New York Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree (N.Y. Penal §175.10) Falsifying business records by labeling hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels made through attorney Michael Cohen as legal expenses, when they were not. Cohen paid Daniels, and then Trump repaid Cohen, classifying the payment to Cohen as part of a retainer agreement, when in fact it was not. Judge Merchan imposed a gag order in March 2024, in advance of the April trial date, that bars Trump from publicly commenting on court staff and prosecution lawyers other than Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg if the comments are meant to significantly interfere with their work in the case. Judge Merchan extended that protection to the family members of staff and lawyers as well, and he blocked Trump from making any public comments about prospective and actual jurors. In April 2024, the Judge also extended the gag order to cover both the judge and the district attorney's families, citing recent attacks against Judge Merchan's daughter, rejecting Trump’s argument that his statements were “core political speech.” Trump does not have co-defendant(s) in this case, but a key witness in the case is Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen. Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts on May 30, 2024. He is set to be sentenced on July 11, 2024. Link The State of Georgia v. Donald J. Trump, et al. Fulton County Superior Court Violation of GA RICO (O.C.G.A. §16-14-4(c); Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings (O.C.G.A. §16-4-8 and O.C.G.A. §16-10-20); Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree (O.C.G.A. §16-4-8 and O.C.G.A. §16-9-1(b)); Conspiracy to Committ Filing False Documents (O.C.G.A. §16-4-8 and O.C.G.A. §16-10-20.1(b)(1)); Filing False Documents (O.C.G.A. §16-10-20.1(b)(1)); False Statements and Writings (O.C.G.A. §16-10-20) Trump and 18 other individuals were indicted in a 41-count indictment in August 2023. The indictment alleges that Trump and 18 other individuals acted as part of a coordinated effort to pressure Georgia state officials to change the election outcome. The charges against Trump include soliciation of a violation of an oath by a public officer, citing Trump's infamous call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Trump pushed him to "find" votes and reverse his loss in the state. Trump and his co-conspirators are accused of violating the state's RICO Act, bringing in election subversion efforts such as the efforts to copy election data in Coffee County and hearings designed to convince lawmakers to throw out certified results were also part of the criminal enterprise. In March 2024, Judge McAfee dismissed the three solicitation charges against Trump due to lack of sufficient detail as to the nature of the solicitation. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has not yet issued a gag order in this case, but has ordered that parties in the case are barred from disclosing the names, addresses, telephone numbers or identifying employment information of the jury or any prospective jurors. The judge also barred videos, photographs, or any other images -- including drawings made "in a realistic or otherwise identifable manner" -- of those jurors. The order came on the heels of Trump supporters posting online the names and addresses of members of the grand jury that voted to return an indictment against the former president (the names of grand jury members is public under Georgia law). Former Trump attorneys Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, and bail bondsman Scott Hall have all entered guilty pleas, after agreeing to testify in any trials related to the case. Ongoing. Trump has appealed to the Georgia Court of Appeals to have Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis removed from prosecuting the case. The Court of Appeals has set a tentative date of October 4, 2024 for oral arguments. The case in the trial court is able to proceed while this appeal happens, but no trial date has been set. Link United States of America v. Donald J. Trump District Court for the District of Columbia Conspiracy to Defraud the United States (18 USC §371); Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding (18 USC §1512(k)); Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding (18 USC §1512(c)(2), 2); Conspiracy Against Rights (18 USC §241) The charges relate to Trump's attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, culminating in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed a narrow gag order on Trump, prohibiting him from making public statements attacking prosecutors, court staff, and potential witnesses. The order does not prohibit Trump from generally disparaging the Biden administration, the DOJ, and the trial venue, and is still able to argue that the case is politically motivated. The indictment lists six "unnamed co-conspirators" but the names of these co-conspirators have not been disclosed to the public, despite the indictment alleging that these six individuals served crucial roles in the alleged conspiracy. The unnamed co-conspirators have not been criminally charged or officially named by prosecutors. Ongoing. The original trial date of March 4, 2024 was postponed as Trump appeals to the Supreme Court on whether presidential immunity shields him from prosecution.
