Need for FEMA

 Trump finally figured out he needs FEMA. Though unfortunately he is using approvals as a weapon.

Imagine if a DEM President did that?

The AI Priest

 If you are a Trump supporter who wants a Priest who will reassure you that FOX, Newsmax and Trump are wonderful and truthful...

You can listen to Father Thomas Letter. Of coure, he is not a Priest or apparently even a Human.

Tariff Impact

 For those foolish people who believed Trump when he said that higher tariffs are not paid for by the US consumers... Trump has apparently changed his mind...

Respect Women

 rump was found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman, the appeals court ruled against him and now he is trying to plead immunity to SCOTUS...

And yet Fathers around the country vote for support this sexual predator. Hypocrisy is alive and thriving in MAGA world.

Sexual Abuser Acceptance

Same question I always ask. Why would people support a man who would force themselves upon their Mother, Sister, Daughter? Reminder this is not just an allegation, a jury looked at the evidence and found him liable.

Mega Corruption

 It amazes me that people who were horrified by Pelosi and Hunter Biden's "self dealing" are silent about the Trump Families cons and corruption that is worth Billions?

I mean he accepted a $400 million plane from a foreign country, spent hundreds of millions more in tax dollars improving it and he plans to keep it... If Biden had done that they would have FREAKED...
