@DCotter1 This claim by Elon is anecdotal and unverified by independent sources. It likely refers to his 2021 tax payment of over $11 billion, but no evidence confirms IRS systems "broke" or needed updates due to it. Many view it as hyperbole.

Another day, another criminal pardoned by Trump. This time it’s Philip Esformes, the MN day care fraudster who operated a nursing home scheme to defraud Medicare of $1.2B, getting doctors to bill for unnecessary services re-arrested for domestic violence.

Philip Esformes is among several people granted clemency by then-President Donald Trump who have since been charged with new crimes.

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

North Carolina voted for Trump in 2024. North Carolina voted for Trump in 2020. North Carolina voted for Trump in 2016. They bowed to their tan-sprayed God for 12 years and their God has rejected them.

So Trump’s FEMA is refusing to pay out buyouts for mortgages on homes in North Carolina that are no longer livable after the storms last year. Many of them are going to have to foreclose. This shit is why people hate the government.

As Zelensky visits the White House and gets bullied again, remember this clip of Marco Rubio explaining the U.S. promised to defend Ukraine FOREVER if they gave up their nukes when the USSR fell. That’s why Lil Marco hides. He hoped we wouldn’t find it. Don’t share it right now.

The Kansas City Chiefs are relocating from Missouri to Kansas and getting a new $3 billion stadium. 60 percent of it will be publicly funded — despite the owners boasting a nearly $25 billion net worth. This isn't the first stadium scam we've seen recently...

This is not true. I have confirmation from a Jane Doe Epstein survivor that her name was not redacted in publicly released files. The DOJ redacted the names of wealthy and powerful people but failed to redact the name of a survivor:

JD Vance says fewer undocumented immigrants means Americans can finally afford homes. So let me get this straight: They supposedly don’t work and live on welfare, but they’re also somehow buying up all the houses? Pick a lie.
