Who could possibly be opposed to an $8 cap on credit card fees?

Other than credit card companies.

Trump Republicans, that's who -- because the credit card companies have paid them $8,000,000 to oppose the cap.

Trump claims the payments to Michael Cohen was for legal fees

But Cohen was IN-HOUSE! He was the general counsel of the Trump Organization. He had a salary.

You don’t pay “fees” to your salaried in-house counsel.

One more reason Trump’s excuse is garbage.

TODAY in the Trump trial

During the David Pecker testimony, jurors were on the edge of their seats, leaning forward, paying close attention, and taking notes.

Prosecution definitely won the week and got the trial off to a very good start.

TODAY: Trump’s ex-assistant Rhona Graff confirmed that Stormy Daniels visited Trump Tower — and that Trump had cell phone numbers for both Stormy and for Karen McDougal.

Melania is NOT the reason Trump covered up the hush money.

To hide from Melania, ZERO need to paper it as fake legal fees.

Melania has never had access to Trump’s business finances. They could’ve paid Stormy Daniels directly.

They were hiding it because of the ELECTION.

It is the CAMPAIGN COVER-UP CASE.

Here's the thing about Trump's demands for immunity.

The only other president to demand immunity was Nixon.

BREAKING: $DJT stock

Price keeps collapsing, now under $25 and still falling.

Stock was at $66.22 only 3 weeks ago.

This appears to be the “dump” part of the pump-and-dump cycle.

So Arizona applies an 1864 law to strip women’s rights and privilege rapists over women — and that’s apparently ok

But Colorado applied an 1866 constitutional amendment to remove an insurrectionist from the ballot — and that was apparently NOT ok?

Trump only uses police as props.

When his mob of violent militia assaulted the Capitol Police, he sat there and watched it on TV — and he NEVER met with those officers, or the families of fallen officers, afterward.

And today he stands with the J6 terrorists — NOT the police.

Trump targets women when he counterattacks:

  • Fani Willis
  • Letitia James
  • E. Jean Carroll
  • Robbie Kaplan
  • Judge Chutkan
  • Judge Engoron’s law clerk
  • Judge Merchan’s daughter

Misogyny is ALWAYS one of his weapons of choice.

And women will be the ones to take him down.

Donald Trump just posted an image of Joe Biden tied up in the back of a pickup as though he’d been kidnapped.

This has become a popular sticker for the backs of MAGA folks’ vehicles.

And in normal times, it would have resulted in a referral to the FBI — and the Secret Service.

Ronna McDaniel is a material witness in the January 6 cases against Trump — at best

  1. She’s not the DA. She’s the AG. Try reading a book or a newspaper sometime.
  2. Your use of “Peekaboo” is like George Allen’s use of “macaca” - it’s clearly a racial slur even if it’s an idiosyncratic one
  3. MOVING ASSETS AROUND VIOLATES THE COURT’S ORDER

About 19% of GOP voters in Florida and Ohio are refusing to vote for Trump.

If that many Republicans vote for Biden or stay home in November, Biden will WIN both Florida and Ohio.

Why is Trump suddenly hating on EVs at every rally now?

Maybe it’s because Trump asked Elon Musk for a loan — and Elon said no.
