It’s not paid twice only once. Still a crime though. Almost as if they planned it.

When you add other cuts and funding restrictions it may be closer to 75%

Because they were souvenirs I think mostly but now that I think about it could be more nefarious

Very little loyal to the man who appointed them. Pretty much says it all. 

Always thought that was the case. Glad to hear it confirmed.

It’s the next small step in the steady decline of the USD as the world’s most relied on reserve currency, a transition which eventually will have dire consequences for our economy.

Which Iran denies. What times we live in when I am inclined to believe the Ayatollah over our president.

Thanks for pointing me to the book. I’ll add that I was starting to doubt that fact, based on movies I’ve seen lol.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸

THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Don’t worry. US sanctions relief will get them back on their feet soon.

Trump personally intervenes to pause prosecution at Erdogan’s request

Last month, Trump's DOJ inexplicably dropped the prosecution in the largest ($20 billion!) Iran sanctions violations case ever:

Now one month later, they're bragging about how they're going to so so so sooooo prosecute Iran sanctions:

Nicely put.

So tired of antivax lies that there are no placebo controlled studies of vaccines. Here is a list of 1600 such studies of commonly used vaccines that Jake Scott at Stanford has compiled. Enjoy. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bX4SAJwM...

More massive insider trading whenever Trump makes a statement with a sudden unexpected change in policy.

Trump planning to give himself 10 billion because there is no separation of powers any more.

"I'm a Christian. And Donald Trump does something to trash the teachings of my faith every day. But this latest thing, well, I just might object to. That's how strongly I feel about my faith."

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

DOJ pushing to not just commute and pardon, which was already done, but to expunge their records with prejudice, the convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, after which they will sue and receive multimillion dollar settlements as Flynn has and as other J6 defendants are.

Nice Subsrack about what Todd Blanche is doing to the DOJ, taking it to new lows. open.substack.com/pub/harrylitman/p/meet-t...

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.

He’s a thug.

When a thug gets power, he’s going to go after anyone who’s ever held him to account.

America has become a mafia state.

Happy Tax Day! IRS, already understaffed and underfunded from two decades of cuts and unable to collect $600 billion a year from mostly wealthy people has had all its modernization funds clawed back then 25% of employees fired. Also free file program canceled.

Next round funding of NIH grants will have 75% fewer grants, only 30% of grant applications will even be reviewed, and there are additional disadvantageous changes in funding structure. Top US talent in many fields moving overseas where their work can be funded.

The ultra wealthy pay less than ever under Trump's tax policies. You pay more through hidden mechanisms like tariffs and eliminated health credits. This system extracts from workers to fund billionaire slush funds. #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn
