Why isn't Fox reporting on Trump's corrupt self-dealing out of the office of the Presidency of the USA?

Senator Murphy lays out Trump's 1st 500 days of corrupt activity on a easy to follow timeline board. Read the COMPLETE transcript on the link if you don't have 32 minute to watch the facts from the congressional record that Fox won't report.

"I DISAGREE WITH MY SENATE REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES' DECISION TO LARGELY REMAIN SILENT IN THE FACE OF THIS MISCONDUCT. IT IS TRUE THAT NOT A SINGLE SENATOR ON EITHER SIDE OF THE AISLE ENGAGES IN THE BEHAVIOR THAT OUR PRESIDENT DOES. SENATORS, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS DO NOT TRADE OUR VOTES FOR CASH OR FOR POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

WE DON'T RUN SIDE HUSTLES LIKE CRYPTO COMPANIES. SENATORS DON'T GIVE CONTRACTS TO THEIR KIDS JUST BECAUSE WE CAN.

AND NO PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY HAS DONE WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS DONE.

NO PRESIDENT HAS DONE 5% OF THE SELF-DEALING THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS DONE IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.

THIS MOMENT IS EXCEPTIONAL. IT IS A ONE-OF-ONE MOMENT.

AND IF IT BECOMES NORMAL, IF PEOPLE STOP BEING OUTRAGED AT WHAT HE IS DOING TO ENRICH HIMSELF, THEN I FEAR THERE IS NO GOING BACK. THE WHITE HOUSE WILL JUST BECOME A PLACE TO GET RICH.

SO, I THINK IT'S TIME TO PULL BACK AND SEE THE FULL PICTURE, TO NOT VIEW THIS AS JUST ONE ISOLATED SCANDAL AFTER ANOTHER, EVERY SINGLE ONE POPPING UP EACH WEEK OR EVERY FEW DAYS, BUT TO UNDERSTAND THE FULL SCOPE OF THIS ILLEGALITY... DONALD TRUMP'S MIND-BLOWING CORRUPTION."

Why didn't "the guys" who 'run' Trump's money make him fabulously wealthy BEFORE he was reelected in 2024?

Today journalists asked Trump about his $2BILLION dollars in gains since he was reelected.
Trump responded that he was a very successful businessman who made a lot of money that he put in a blind trust.... and that he never talks to the guys "who run his money."
Trump was in financial difficulties as he lost major lawsuits in court.... said he couldn't afford to pay the settlements and fines.

So.... Why didn't "the guys" who 'run' Trump's money make him fabulously wealthy BEFORE he was reelected in 2024?
What's changed that now they all of a sudden know the right stocks to buy just before big deals are announced? (TKO, Paramount, tech cos, mining deals, defense contracts, etc?)

Is anybody seeing this story? Does anybody care about blatant conflicts of interest anymore?

"Trump, Lutnick’s sons stand to gain big profits from billion-dollar mining deal"

AMAZINGLY CORRUPT

The sons of President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stand to see a big windfall after businesses tied to the families helped secure a $1.6 billion mining deal in Kazakhstan, .

After Trump and Lutnick closed a deal for an American company called Kaz Resources to mine one of the world’s largest untapped reserves of tungsten last November, records indicate that firms tied to their sons saw financial gain from the contract.

Do MAGAs really believe Democrats are communists?

The messaging from MAGA central (Trump, Miller, Fox) convinces some MAGAs to say 'all Democrats, liberals, etc, are communists and need to be eliminated.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-tries-out-midterms-message-that-focuses-on-communists/ar-AA26DzeE
Do the majority of MAGAs really believe that? How could they be so brainwashed as to believe that obvious lie in an information age where informed people know what communism is and that Democrats are not communists?
If all MAGAs don't believe the "D = Communist" lie, why do they keep repeating it? Which subset of MAGAs are actually 'buying' the lie?

Since cryptocurrency has dropped 52% since last October, how wise are Trump's efforts to push the US Treasury into cryptocurrency? ?

On March 6, 2025, Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve. The executive order establishes:

  • A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
  • A U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile
  • A requirement for all agencies to fully account for their digital asset holdings to Treasury and the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets.

A 52% drop since October 2025. So much winning!

Cafaro is Trump's Palm Beach buddy who has donated hundreds of thousands to Trump over the years, including a $250,000 donation in 2020 and a $100,000 donation in 2024."

In 2021, he pleaded guilty to bribing former Congressman James Traficant Jr. In 2020, he pleaded guilty to a campaign finance crime.

Trump described Cafaro as a "man who made a lot of money in Cleveland, does a good job and is a fantastic man", and so awarded him the no-bid contract to rehab the reflecting pool. Birds of a feather.

Can Republicans or MAGAs name one concession Iran gave that didn’t exist before the war? Just one ?

It shouldn't be too much of a challenge for MAGAs and Republicans, since we've defeated Iran 29 times and won Trump's 'war that isn't a war', what... 40 times?

Just one.

Ways to deal with South Bay Blvd delays ?

Driving between Los Osos and Morro Bay on South Bay Blvd, one never knows if the bridge construction is going to create a 5/10/20 minute delay.

How much could it cost for a big contractor to put up a couple solar powered web cams so people could look at the road to know if they need to leave :20 minutes earlier to get to work on time?

"The South Bay Boulevard Bridge over Los Osos Creek is the primary link between Los Osos and Morro Bay and is a principal Diablo Canyon Power Plant evacuation route. Once the new bridge is complete, the existing bridge will be removed, and the area restored to its natural habitat. Construction will last two years and began in the spring of 2026."

Is it true that if you drink enough orange koolaid, the DC reflecting pool looks blue? ?

Having wasted millions of taxpayer's dollars on no-bid contracts, Trump's reflecting pool is a reflection of his regime; a swamp; exactly as mossy as it was before the orange felon wasted our taxpayers $$$$$.

Many people are saying that if you drink enough orange koolaid, the pool looks blue.
How much of the orange stuff does one gotta swallow to see Trump's swamp look blue?
RFK Jr sez, "C'mon in. The water's fine."

Word games

Which word games in the NYT are best for preserving acuity as one ages? I like Spelling Bee and Crosswords. Wordle, not so much.
Seems to me one learns tricks to finish grids, but maybe there are better ways to expand/maintain one's vocabulary.

Or is this a question better directed toward a different subreddit?

Where's my $1.8 billion settlement from the IRS? ?

405,427 taxpayers' returns were leaked by Trump's IRS in the 2020 IRS breach.

As plaintiff, Trump sued his IRS. Since he was also the defendant, he agreed to settle with himself, rewarding himself with $1.8 billion taxpayer's dollars from the US Treasury. BOOM!

Neat trick, being both defendant and plaintiff.

What is he doing for the other 405,426 people whose returns were leaked in 2020 by Trump's IRS? Diddlysquat?

A $1.8 billion personal slush fund (Trump’s “payout pot for punks,” as Sen. Tillis (R-NC) so colorfully put it) , bupkis for the rest of us?

Don't we deserve protection against IRS audits as well?

Is Trump gonna go Jim Jones on us? ?

Some folks are saying Trump is like Jim Jones; a man at the end of his rope writing the country into his suicide note. Is there anybody in his regime that can be trusted to stop Trump in the event he can find no other off ramp from the damaging road he's dragged the nation down?

"Forensic psychiatry keeps a long file on killers who taunt. David Berkowitz wrote letters to police and press, and signed them Son of Sam, and named his victims. Berkowitz left clues on purpose, because he wanted the public to experience acute fear. Clinical literature treats this communication as part of the killing ritual. Taunt is rehearsal in language, and image is rehearsal in form. Trump has been leaving the country clues for months.
On the weekend of May 17, thousands gathered for a prayer rally Trump had endorsed. He skipped the event and posted AI images instead. The pictures showed him in a space station, pressing a red button to launch nuclear weapons worldwide. Trump captioned them "Space Force." The office he holds carries the actual launch codes. He spent the weekend producing cartoons of a sitting president using the arsenal.
Six days earlier, on Monday night, May 11, Trump opened Truth Social at 10:14 p.m., and did not stop until 1:12 a.m. He fired off fifty-five posts in three hours, one every three minutes. He railed against Barack Obama and reposted Catturd2 calling the former president a traitor, and ranted about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and imagined his face on the hundred-dollar bill.
People call this news. I call it a man at the end of his rope writing the country into his suicide note.
Trump's pathology is genuinely worsening, and the country that should have wrapped him in a straitjacket stopped paying attention to the acute threat the world faces. Both truths sit side by side. The decline continues, and the straitjacket waits in a closet no one will open."

Here we have a felon who is married to an immigrant complaining that criminals and immigrants are the problem... yet he's bringing in tens of thousands of Boers (the people responsible for apartheid in South Africa) ... and we taxpayers are paying to fund his importation program.

Apparently there's no indignity they won't suffer. How embarrassing for MAGA ?

*"*An estimated 590,000 consumers paid $100 each to Trump Mobile to pre-order the T1 Phone, meaning $59 million has been paid for a product that may or may not exist.
As of May 2026, not a single confirmed customer has received the device. No firm release date has been provided, and Trump Mobile has not responded to repeated media requests for comment.

*"*Trump Mobile also changed its “Preorder Deposit Terms and Conditions” on April 6, 2026, which now makes clear that a preorder deposit “provides only a conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale.”

The terms continue, “A deposit is not a purchase, does not constitute acceptance of an order, does not create a contract for sale, does not transfer ownership or title interest, does not allocate or reserve specific inventory, and does not guarantee that a Device will be produced or made available for purchase."

Whap! Thank you, sir... may we have another!

Hantavirus incoming! Who remembers this gem: ""It's one person, coming in from China," "It's going to be just fine." ????? ?

Who remembers this gem from Felon45?

Jan. 24 - "“We have it totally under control. It's one person, coming in from China," Trump said. "It's going to be just fine."

Feb. 15 - FEB. 7 “You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flus.”

FEB. 26 - “The 15 (case count in the U.S.) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. ... This is a flu. This is like a flu.”

Mar MARCH 7 - “No, I’m not concerned at all. No, I’m not. No, we’ve done a great job.”

Felon Trump45 fired our CDC scientists -our "forward eyes"- in Asia because he said he could rehire scientists for the CDC if there was a need for epidemiology expertise.

Then Covid happened and the stupidity ramped up in Trump's head, resulting in hundreds of thousands more deaths than if we'd had an intelligent POTUS.
