Trump on Talking to Democrats Regarding the Shutdown

As of October 6, Karoline Leavitt said “His position is very clear,” Leavitt said of Trump, “There’s nothing to negotiate.” The White House and Republican talking points are lies when they say the Democrats have caused this shutdown in order to give federally funded health care to undocumented immigrants. How is this a lie? Well for starters, federal law prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving federally funded healthcare. (documentation on the above) The Republicans control both the House and the Senate, yet still can't pass a budget. The big issue is Democrats not wanting to get rid of tax credits which make health insurance affordable for many. The Democrats also are fighting for a reversal of Trump's cuts to Medicaid, a government healthcare programme used by millions of elderly, disabled and low-income people. The Republicans need to get rid of this healthcare spending to afford the tax cuts to the uber wealthy. Meanwhile the shutdown is costing the US economy $15 billion a day.

No Surprise- Trump and Lies Regarding Epstein Proof

The House Oversight committee released more documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate . Two are very damning. One is a birthday card from Trump to Epstein "May every day be another wonderful secret" and a picture with Epstein and a long time Mar a Lago member joking about selling a "fully depreciated" woman to Trump for $22,500. These are physical pieces of evidence from Epstein's estate. Trump is of course calling everything a lie- not his signature, etc. Facts- numerous pictures and much evidence prove the Trump-Epstein close friendship. Let's not forget Trump declaring on Jan. 23, 2016, while campaigning in Iowa "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Enough America. Who in their right mind would think this, much less say it at a campaign event? He truly believes he can get away with murder. Maxwell, Epstein's girlfiend, was convicted of child sex trafficking and ...

Trump Loses it

Image
Last night, this came across my X feed. I had to go to the White House's X account to make sure it is legitimate. Unfortunately, it is. Shocking. Disgusting. Shameful. President Trump does not have the legal power to strip away someone's citizenship. Why is this happening? It is because Rosie O'Donnell openly criticizes Trump . Murderous third world dictators and lawless autocrats (like Putin) pull moves like this, not leaders of the free world. This is the United States of America. Every one has the right to free speech. Trump cannot revoke Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship because he does not like the things she says. The first amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to exercise free speech This is deeply concerning. This is the logic of a 5 year old. How can this even be happening? Stupid is as stupid does. If you want to gage someone's intelligence, observe their actions. Congress has the Constitutional power over de-naturalization ...
