We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better. snyder.substack.com/p/the-ne…

BREAKING: Trump gets caught funneling $620 million to Don Jr. with a record loan to his investment firm — and it’s all about those magnets that Drowsy Don doesn’t understand. In the latest episode of the never-ending MAGA money machine, Donald Trump Jr. just scored yet another massive government payday — this time a jaw-dropping $620 million Defense Department loan — thanks to a rare-earths start-up quietly backed by his own venture firm. That’s right: while President Donald Trump rambles on national television about how “nobody knows what a magnet is,” his son is cashing in on them like they’re the secret to eternal life. Vulcan Elements, the barely known company boosted by Trump Jr.’s 1789 Capital in August, is suddenly getting the largest loan the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital has ever issued. And — surprise! — it’s only the newest in a string of fat government contracts funneled to firms connected to Trump Jr.’s portfolio. Four of them have already raked in $735 million since the president returned to office in January. Ethics experts are sounding the alarm, warning that presidents are supposed to avoid even the appearance of funneling taxpayer money into their own family’s pockets. But this administration has blown straight past “appearance” and into full-blown “walking conflict of interest in broad daylight.” And if it weren’t so corrupt, it would almost be funny: President Trump spent November insisting on Fox News that magnets are mysterious forces nobody understands — apparently unaware that scientists cracked that code two centuries ago. Critics couldn’t help but note the uncanny similarity to Insane Clown Posse’s legendary line, “F---ing magnets, how do they work?” Turns out it’s pretty simple — when your dad runs the government, magnets work extremely well — especially for your bank account. Please like and share to spread the news!

I can't be the only one who wants Biden to ask Ivanka Trump to be his Senior Advisor and then at her oath ceremony, swipe the bible out from under her hand and go "honey I was kidding"

Reports that Cipollone and others told Trump he should not pardon himself, his family or any GOP lawmakers in a prospective manner UNLESS HE WAS PREPARED TO LIST SPECIFIC CRIMES. i.e they understand the legal vulnerability of a "blanket" pardon for any and all crimes.

Unfocused, rambling, meandering... Watching this after the magnificent speech by Joe Biden is like watching a bad hemorrhoid commercial right after The Godfather.

Who exactly is the federal stockpile for if not the states that comprise the Union?
Replying to @atrupar
JARED KUSHNER: "The notion of the federal stockpile was it's supposed to be our stockpile. It's not supposed to be states stockpiles that they then use."

Thanks to @CNN and @MSNBC for starting to not air parts of Trump’s coronavirus press conferences. But it’s not good enough. We need networks to stop covering Trump live, and only recap what doctor’s say. No more lying politicians. Raise your hand if you agree. #StopAiringTrumpNow

Trump didn’t even respond to Putin’s threat against the US yesterday. He didn’t condemn the terrorist who was planning an attack on Democrats. He did take the time to attack Democrats, the press, FBI and DoJ. Trump will be the greatest threat to America, until he leaves the WH.

"The greatest tragedy isn't that the person supposedly leading our country lacks a single benevolent impulse, is impervious to compassion, incapable of nobility, and mortally allergic to simple kindness." It's that you approve of him." johnpavlovitz.com/2018/12/13…

Stephen Hawking was asked one time about his IQ and his response defines his greatness: “I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers.” Did you catch that @realDonaldTrump?

#BREAKING - Per @Variety, the nation's largest radio company has filed for bankruptcy protection. In a statement, iHeartMedia said it had reached a deal with the holders of more than $10 billion of its debt. Shouldn't have a noticeable effect on company’s day-to-day operations.
