Trump Now Selling Watches @ $100,000 Each, Get Yours Today!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Trump hawks $100,000 watches as he leverages his candidacy for profit"

“These watches are truly special—you’re going to love them,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, the same social media site where he shares political messages with his supporters."

"Trump has netted millions of dollars selling new items featuring his name and likeness. For example, he last year made $7.2 million through a licensing deal with NFT INT, LLC, a company that is selling Trump digital NFT, or non-fungible token, “trading cards.”

"This week, he also launched “Trump Coins” – a 1oz .999% silver medallion with the former president’s face on one side and his signature on the White House on the back."

After Threatening John Deere, Trump Now Threatening Google!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Former President Trump threatened Friday to prosecute Google if elected in November, alleging the search engine was “only” showing “bad” stories about him and “good” articles about Vice President Harris." " I will request their prosecution, at the maximum levels, when I win the Election, and become President of the United States!”

“Both campaign websites consistently appear at the top of Search for relevant and common search queries,” a Google spokesperson said. “This report looked at a single rare search term on a single day a few weeks ago, and even for that search, both candidates’ websites ranked in the top results on Google.”

If anything Faux news and the like ought to draw that kind of criticism given the overt bias it demonstrates on a daily basis...

It takes facts and a brain to counter the facts of what the Biden administration has done.

It is your one and only ploy to make false assertions and then run and hide under your desk  (I have to say that if I was as inept as you are James in being able to support your arguments, I'd probably do as you do and hide under a desk.  wink)

But the facts remain that the ICE report is out there and it indicates that 13,000+ Convicted murderers were let into this nation along with 16,000+ rapists. 

Here's the report by Patrick J. Lechleitner, Deputy Director of ICE.

Never let facts get in the way of a Trump fanatic:

"Former President Donald Trump is wildly distorting new statistics on immigration and crime to attack Vice President Kamala Harris."

"Trump falsely claimed Friday and Saturday that the statistics are specifically about criminal offenders who entered the US during the Biden-Harris administration; in reality, the figures are about offenders who entered the US over multiple decades, including during the Trump administration. And Trump falsely claimed that the statistics are specifically about people who are now living freely in the US; the figures actually include people who are currently in jails and prisons serving criminal sentences."

"A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said in a Saturday email: “The data in this letter is being misinterpreted. The data goes back decades; it includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more, the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this Administration. It also includes many who are under the jurisdiction or currently incarcerated by federal, state or local law enforcement partners.”

Not even Fox is buying it:

"A reporter for Fox News, the right-wing outlet whose reporting on these statistics Trump repeatedly promoted on Friday, noted Friday evening on social media that “not all of these criminals entered during the Biden admin, as some are claiming” and that “some of these criminals go back many years across multiple administrations.”

After reading about Trump's nonsensical border outrage fuel for his base and Richie's response to factual information, it's no wonder the Republicans have stopped talking about cognitive testing for seventy-plus year olds or those exhibiting similar impairment...

Fun "JD" facts:

1. "According to text messages obtained by The Washington Post, in 2020 — shortly before the end of Trump’s time in office — Vance complained that “Trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism (excepting a disjointed China policy).”

"In the conversation, Vance predicted that Trump would lose the 2020 election. “I think Trump will probably lose,” he wrote in June of 2020."

"Vance has since become a staunch defender of Trump’s false claims of election fraud."


2. " In 2016, Vance suggested that Trump might be “America’s Hitler,” in text messages to a former roommate. In a 2016 op-ed in The New York Times, Vance wrote that then-candidate Trump was “unfit for our nation’s highest office.” That same year, Vance described himself as “a Never Trump guy.” 

“Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible. God wants better of us,” Vance wrote on X in October 2016."

3. "Ohio’s Vance is repeating Kremlin talking points on sanctions" "Asked repeatedly to comment on the accusation, Vance’s office declined to respond on the record."

From the article:  “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett in an exclusive interview on “Erin Burnett OutFront,” referring to 2,000-pound bombs that Biden paused shipments of last week.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden said.


And he did, which is a Constitutional violation, since the Congress approved the weapons transfer.

He has NO right to do that and he's violating the US Constitution, but then when did Biden ever let the US Constitution stand in the way of his dictatorial Presidency.

Just like he ignored the US Supreme Court when they told him he had no power under the Constitution, he still did it anyway after the US Supreme court gave their ruling.
And if you believe all that, you probably believe Trump when he said the whole thing would have never happened if he was president, and, if re-elected, he'd get it cleared up in a day, along with Ukraine...

Did you?  smile
No, I don't support the Putin caucus in congress or "JD"s "plan" to end the war in Ukraine by following and restating the talikng points of Putin's speech writer like YOU DO.

"Washington gives $3.8 billion in annual military assistance to Israel, its longtime ally. The United States has been rushing air defenses and munitions to Israel, but some Democrats and Arab American groups have criticized the Biden administration's steadfast support of Israel,..."

Got that, you Putin supporting Commie...
