Trump Social Media App COLLAPSES, 93% Decline in Signups
Donald Trump’s new social media venture “Truth Social” is not off to a strong start. Rather than seeing a precipitous increase in signups since the launch date, there’s been a 93% collapse in new users on the platform. The total installations for the app is sitting at 1.2 million, which is super underwhelming for something that was supposed to be a Twitter killer and put together by a former president. The site was plagued with tech issues from its launch with many people who wanted to make accounts resorting to the waitlist. Now that a few weeks have passed, not too many people care enough to go back to it. Trump’s kids are doing their best to resuscitate the app but even that’s not working. Truth Social may simultaneously end up being the latest failed business venture by Donald Trump and the latest failed conservative alternative social media network.
There Actually IS an Investigation Into Hunter Biden
A federal investigation is underway into Hunter Biden, the president’s son, for suspected crimes connected to his business dealings in foreign countries. Specifically, investigators are looking at whether Hunter and some of his associates violated money laundering, tax and foreign lobbying laws. He has so far not been charged with any crimes and has denied any wrongdoing. Joe Biden is not being investigated as part of the probe but this has not stopped right wingers from drawing a connection between the two Bidens on this matter. If Hunter Biden did commit crimes, he should be prosecuted as is true for everybody else. Unlike the Trump kids however, Hunter has played no role in his father’s political campaign or administration so it would be unfair to extend culpability to the president himself on this. Many in conservative circles are acting like this is a moment to be celebrated, but without a connection to Joe Biden, there’s really not much of a presidential scandal here.
From yesterday’s show:
Absolutely Shameless Ted Cruz Appears on Fox News
Ted Cruz went on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show earlier this week and offered a textbook example of Republican projection. The Texas Senator made the claim that Democrats, if they lose in the 2022 midterms elections, will claim the races were rigged. He said, “they know they’re going to lose and Nancy Pelosi’s not going to go quietly. She’s going to scream, she’s already preparing to scream ‘the election was stolen.’ And by the way, what she means by stolen is people showed up to vote against Democrats. That’s what stealing the election is. Remember, Democrats don’t believe in democracy.” It’s stunning that Ted Cruz could make these remarks with a straight face. What he described is exactly what Donald Trump and his followers did after losing the 2020 election. Cruz himself was at the forefront of an attempt to throw out electoral votes from states that Joe Biden won. Ted should be ashamed of himself for such obvious lies and projection but this is standard practice for him.

LOL: Fox Anchor CALLS OUT Lying Republican Senator on Live TV
Florida Senator Rick Scott went on Fox News last Sunday to talk about his eleven-point plan to save America and it did not go particularly well for him. Host John Roberts didn’t let Scott get away with bragging about his bill while leaving out some of its more disastrous elements. Roberts pointed out that Scott’s bill would have all federal legislation sunset in five years in order to make programs be renewed if they’re considered “worth keeping.” The Fox host asked, “that would raise taxes on half of Americans and potentially sunset programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Why would you propose something like that in an election year?” Rick Scott was apparently not prepared to get an adversarial question on Fox News and he tried to write off Roberts’ question as a “Democratic talking point.” This promoted Roberts to interrupt him and say while laughing, “no, no, it’s in the plan!” Clearly Scott can’t defend his own legislation and it’s such as ridiculous plan that even Fox News hosts and other Republican senators can’t get behind it.
