David, trump really only cares about his tax immunity, not the slush fund. It was the distraction. That’s what we need to hammer home! No immunity from paying taxes and penalties for the trump family forevermore.

Karen, 100% agree with this. The tax immunity exception seems to keep getting ignored.

Crazy, isn’t it? It’s the money with trump. Always!

So the boss tells DOJ and IRS to cook up deal for tax immunity for the boss. Boss will then agree to the deal he ordered them to make. No way in hell can that pass muster. Trumps presidential immunity only covers his fake presidency, not his business dealings.

Still wondering why EJ Carol has not sued him again for still disparaging her. He is treating the $5.6 million payout as a temporary loan to her. It is none of his business what she does with the money.

And it seems like they will continue to cover up , come with excuses and lies in order to gaslight the American people as long as they see that they will gain on it and if it goes wrong they probably will start a new roundf of cover up excuses and lies and gaslighting because they know so very well that if they lose the power then hey might be in big trouble, And that is probably scaring the shit out of those of them who still can think more or less clearly and have started to see that Donald Trumps presidency could be a catastrophe for themselves if they wants to avoid ending in trouble or end in a prison cell

Maybe the Dems should point out that republicans project and that they've been trying to rig the election starting with trump wanting the red states to gerrymander in a way to get extra seats for repubs and how he said musk is good at manipulating the voting machines, and the SAVE Act and other ways trump and repubs are trying to disenfranchise voters. They don't need to make up lies, either. Just tell these truths and pound it into people's heads. Say it 3 times in ads as supposedly saying it in 3s helps people to plant it in their brains.

I don't know if three times in sequence is enough to enter their brains...is it?

The problem now is the Governor. He is a pansy. Typical Democrat, wringing his hands, perseverating, rather than taking bold decisive action. Just appoint a replacment see what they do. That's what McConnell himself would do. No, he will play the usual, we-sent-strong-letters game. It's so simple. Just go to the hospital. He's not there. NO ONE is hospitalized for 4 weeks in today's environment. Doesn't happen.

Martin Judd's avatar

Almost like Dems are afraid to find he is not there and have to do something about it.

What is seriously wrong with them?

Everyone should vote, straight Democratic in midterms, if you want to end this Dicktater era!

Why is no one commenting on the fact Elaine Chao looks many years younger in those photos, Google Photos of her it’s very evident! Maybe she has Benjamin Button syndrome or just the best plastic surgery in history.

Their heads and facial expressions are identical!!! Nobody can do that over time!! Stupid to believe he’s still working! SHOCKED none of the people with access haven’t snuck in a body cam to record how vigorous he is in PT or just in the rehab facility( are cop cars outside of that now instead of the hospital he isn’t in??)

Carole's avatar

Hopefully Musk plowing his ill gotten gains into anti democratic candidates will work as in WI

I know he can “afford” to lose tons without impacting his tax bracket or his standard of living but that loss will make our win SO much sweeter!! Blue wave

Don’t think any still picture proves anyone is alive at the time the picture was taken. Anyone who has seen a body in a casket knows that makeup does wonders.

Thanks David, what a shock that it wasn't vandals at the Reflecting Pool and the Slush Fund is not dead, Blanche and Trump are lying.

Laurie's avatar

David, Google Photos of Elaine Chao, those photos are most definitely old, Elaine Chao looks many years younger in those photos than she does in more recent photos!!

I don't know if you read these comments but I'll put this out there anyway. Concerning subscriptions- I spent all morning trying to clean out my subscriptions using my elderly ipad. I had two subscriptions to you (and others) on substack because I use two email addresses. One is paid, one is free. I cannot be the only one who found oneself in this situation. What I'm saying is many free subscribers aren't freeloaders! They might be supporting through a different email address.

They are not we saw the footage Mitch os dead. we all saw his dead foot in the car.

paulahik's avatar

I didn't see a foot in a car, but the supposedly "proof of life" photos look like those post mortem photos and paintings that were big in the early 19th Century. He looks propped up, wifey is holding him up and propping him with an arm behind his back. That smile is creepy as hell and is exactly the same in both photos. There doesn't seem to be life in those beady eyes.

Martin Judd's avatar

His smile is disgusting even when nearly dead. And no different when dead...
