And neither is the wheat producer or seller, or the bank that accepts or processes the franc… or so many others… 🙄Still waiting on that “Trump family 60%” source—crickets. 🦗 Reposting false and unverified allegations isn’t insight. It’s misinformation.Not corruption. Comprehension failure. I can onl ...

So, who here will read the headline of a news article and then go and tell someone, "Oh, yeah. I saw that on the news." I'm sure there are more than a few guilty parties here. And no judgment, it doesn't even seem like the wrong thing to do.

Breaking news on Donald Trump's growing unchecked power and the judiciary that is failing to reign him in. A federal appeals court just ruled that the president can send National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon against the state's wishes. Two Trump appointed judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the man who appointed them, arguing that the deployment is justified because quote, "State and local law enforcement have been unable or unwilling to assist the government's efforts to protect t ...
