"Johnson noted that Congressional salaries have been frozen since 2009 while speaking to press on Wednesday. 'When you adjust for inflation...Congress today is making 31% less than they made in that year. It goes down every year,' he said."

Who wants to tell him about the minimum wage??

Or how much pain and death his policies will needlessly cause working class MAGAs?

Keep talking Mike. Keep talking.

The #ConvictedFelon in the WH thinks it is perfectly fine for another country to "gift" him a $400 Million dollar plane for his personal use that he says America "would be a fool to refuse".

So WHERE DOES HE DRAW THE LINE? Would giving him a BRIEFCASE containing $400M in cash be acceptable?

No?

Then just buy $400M worth of his "T**** branded #crypto meme coins". Apparently, THAT'S just fine too. NO CASH. All #Emoluments must be #laundered first.

This is a gigantic emolu-f*ing-ment. Any member of Congress - including Speaker Johnson - who claims to be a Constitutional scholar and defender of same who blocks Congressional oversight of POTUS is lying to you about their skills & morals. nytimes.com/2025/05/13/us/poli

"The choice of the three Middle East nations was intentional, of course. Trump & his family have extensive business ties with each of these oil-rich states, and Trump saw an opportunity to bring his top corporate donors and big petrol dollars together. …

This vulgar sucking up to wealthy Arab states—along with shady transactions that lack transparency and line the pockets of Trump and his friends—directly threatens our national security."

BREAKING: #Sanctions on Syria—lifted.
The catch? Their new leader, a former #AlQaeda militant tied to U.S. troop deaths, just offered #Trump a golden carrot: Trump Tower Damascus.

A known #terrorist dangles real estate and suddenly decades of U.S. foreign policy vanish.

Corruption this blatant shouldn’t even be possible.

Je sais que j’ai très peu de chances d’avoir une réponse mais je tente quand même n’ayant plus mon groupe de profs qui est sur FB.

@AlliFlowers @jchyip You're so right! Trump cherishes loyalty to him, but doesn't gives a damn about those, who loyally cooperated with & worked for U.S. forces in Afghanistan pre-renewed Taliban takeover sped up by Trump's pressure on the then-Ghani government to release 5,000 jailed Taliban fighters.

For Trump, any foreign gift is a good gift—no matter what the Constitution says

But we can hold him accountable

I tell you how in my new @nytimes essay w Virginia Canter & @rwpusa - TN

They should considering the majority of departments in the government have a LONG list of stocks they CAN'T buy.

Take $MSFT for example.

The two current aircraft used as Air Force One (military variants of the Boeing 747) have the same dimensions as the 747-8 the Qataris bribed you with, you fucking sorry sonofabitch.

“President Trump said he thinks the U.S. ‘should have the most impressive plane’ compared to aircraft used by other world leaders and described the existing Air Force One as ‘much smaller’ and ‘much less impressive’ than planes other countries have.” - Elizabeth Crisp
