Almost exactly a year ago, Eric Trump made a similar statement: "When my father became commander in chief of this country, we got out of all international business."
Barely two weeks later, the Trump Organization tweeted this
NEW: A dark money group with no website, no employees and no apparent offices brought in $80 million in its first year of operation.
The group's sole trustee is Leonard Leo, the Trump judicial advisor who's tied to millions spent on judicial nominations citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
The filing vastly expands the amount of money known to be flowing into the growing constellation of dark money groups tied to Leo and provides new details about his role in a secretive firm that was responsible for a $1 million donation to Trump’s inaugural committee.
The only other people linked to the group, based on the sparse filing, are either longtime Federalist Society officials-turned-consultants like Leo, or operatives with a long history working behind the scenes on dark money groups tied to Leo.
According to NWS data, Charleston has had 1,067 "flood events" since 1953.
The last *five years* have seen 275 floods. In other words, 1-in-4 of all the floods in the last 67 years have been since Jan 2016, and it includes 2020 which isn't even done yet. weather.gov/chs/coastalflo…
All but two of Charleston's top 10 flood years are within the past decade.
The Trump campaign wants us to believe that Biden is a senile old man, but also that just a few years ago, he managed to co-opt the entire US foreign policy apparatus, the E.U., and the IMF in a secret ploy to protect his son without anyone knowing.
This is the weird thing about all Trump World conspiracies: For the theories to be feasible, the person at the center of them would have to be a genius, with unparalleled powers of manipulation and cunning
For example, with Uranium One, Hillary Clinton supposedly secured a unanimous vote from nine U.S. government agencies—without leaving any evidence of her involvement—for a deal that would benefit a Clinton Foundation donor who had sold his shares in the company 3 years earlier
The Drain the Swamp president is anything but... nyti.ms/3nC8P3e
This single paragraph -- showing the president selling access and influence to wealthy donors who are also personally enriching him -- would be the defining scandal of any other presidential administration
Then: "Elliot Broidy, a California businessman with a checkered past who had raised millions for the Trump campaign, joined Mar-a-Lago after the election. He told an associate that he viewed it as a way to increase access to the president."
Trump has tweeted three dozen times in the last two and a half hours -- dishing deep state conspiracy theories about the Russia investigation, mocking a Joe Biden ad about the death of his wife and children, and saying the FDA's intentionally slowing down the COVID vaccine
He's tweeted four more times since I wrote this tweet
Just a normal day in America, where the president of the United States is demanding that his attorney general arrest his political enemies
I read the first sentence of this tweet, and my stupid brain thought "Maybe he's going to encourage people to get flu shots to dull the impact of the winter COVID resurgence."
You sweet, stupid brain. You know better than that.
The last time the U.S. saw 100,000 from the flu, Donald Trump was getting Vietnam deferments for bone spurs from a tenant in one of his dad's buildings cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-r…
The worst flu season in 40 years was Trump's first flu season in office.
