I think I've seen DJT supporters literally crying over the Epstein story and DJT. I don't think DJT would be able to overcome this particular crime. MAGA is leaving him!!

A new report estimates the Trump family earned about $3.4 billion…..with $2.37 dollars from cryptocurrency ventures launched before his second term. $2.37 dollars? Billion?

The word "Earned" is incorrect. Donald Trump has never actually "Earned" anything in his life.

"Pilfered", "Embezzled", "Stole", "Amassed", "Grafted", "Grifted", "Extorted" all work --

(Please try again. :-)

Oh, good luck on banning Nudies, Donnie. Nudies will breed, duplicate, and saturate the earth as they always have. Might as well try to ban air.

Jeanine Pirro said she was “not concerned” with why people commit crimes.

What an idiotic thing to say. Like continuing to replace a car battery because the headlights won't turn off. Yeah, good luck with that. That's authoritarianism for you.

Yeah they're not concerned with why people commit crimes and certainly not concerned with doing anything about the root causes

That's why anything they ever label the "war on" something never actually gets solved... or won, if you will

The trump family grifted and strong armed their monetary income. Big balls IS NOT a hero. He is a hacker. He is suffering from Jamie Smolent syndrome. He messed with 2 kids and a girl, see nicknames, and they beat him up, maybe.

Have you ever thought how DJT has brainwashed his supporters and all Repukelicans? I think I know how he did it. Thru his Apprentice show and brainwashing its viewers. I know it's illegal to do that but what is this crook not been able to do? View his Apprentice episodes.

Yes, that is exactly right. There is a lot written on this.

The short version is: The Network Television shows needed to cut production costs --( hiring stars and actual performers was too expensive). They invented "Reality TV" because the "Talent" (that word means anyone who appears before camera, nothing more) would appear for free. Network Television immediately saved millions of dollars.

The whole buildup of an incompetent little "businessman" , (who had already sunk all 4 of his companies in Bankruptcy, companies that Daddy, plus the Russians, had bought him), would present Donald Trump as the world's greatest businessman.

The Networks got sky high ratings and made lots of money from this show, titled it "The Apprentice". It was all hogwash, of course, and a big inside-joke in Television Production circles.

But people believe what they see, and even today a huge number of people do not realize Donald Trump is a moron, without ANY business ability whatsoever. He is brash, loud, entertaining (some think), and has found a handy persona, which, unbelievably to anyone who knows the facts, continues to present himself as a genius "Businessman". What Donald Trump is, is a FRAUD. And a world-class Con-Man. You can look up all this -- it is in various posts on the internet. (PS I worked in Television Production, Film Production, and Public Relations among other things).

Regarding the "Medal of Freedom", you might compare this to Horst Wessel. Everyregime needs its martyred heros.

Awesome overview! 🙌 A comment about the deployment of the National Guard and police takeover. It’s gut-wrenching to think about the position some troops are placed in when asked to follow Trump’s orders even when those directives run counter to the values of honor, service, and integrity they pledged to uphold. For those who wear the uniform, loyalty to country should come before loyalty to any one man, yet this dynamic forces many to wrestle with moral conflicts that no leader should impose on the people sworn to defend the nation.
