Their outbursts have all the trappings of a genuine tantrum *shouldn’t be fooled by the meaning of it. Chief purposes: consolidating R support for #TFG, limiting swing-vote defections +to head-fake Dems into believing TFG’s convictions are somehow bad news for them. “The intensity of the screaming is directly proportional to intensity of fear & danger they feel over what happened. To imagine otherwise is to fall for yet another Trump con."
Paulson -made his fortune during the FIN crisis running a hedge fund that bet agst the US housing market, should know what TFG's says about TFG's record is a lie. But in recent weeks, a growing number of billionaires have come out in support of him incl. Blackstone Inc. co-fndr S Schwarzman, Citadel founder K Griffin, Oracle Corp co-fndr & CHM L Ellison, H Lutnick, H Hamm & B Marcus. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-06-10/in-biden-vs-trump-billionaires-choose-selective-memory
RUTHLESS: If our democratic system dies -primary cause: Fox News owner R Murdoch -most devious & damaging of a group of media moguls who made our society more divisive & helped dishonest demagogues achieve pol power.
TRUTHLESS: Professional liars & careerists, eg: J Watters
There's Imminent danger with a compromised SC, #fossilfuel companies may win:
Groups linked to Leonard Leo, who seems to have ties to Chevron, have launched a stunning & unprecedented campaign for the SC to intervene in lawsuits that could cost billions.
Some of the groups behind the campaign have ties to Leo, the architect of the RW takeover of the SC who helped select #TFG’s SC nominees.
Honolulu is one of 40 cities & states suing big oil.
Trump endorsed against the group’s CHM, Rep Good. Now snr HFC members are openly criticizing his endorsement strategy in other GOP primaries.
He's supported incumbents who've been critical of Freedom Caucus members: A Scott & W Timmons +endorsed the GOP campaign arm’s preferred mod. candidates in key races: fmr Rep Rogers in MI & Sheehy in MT.
“He's endorsing moderates in most races if there’s a conservative in the race."
How many newspapers' editorial boards will join the Philadelphia Inquirer?
The former president’s criminal conviction and broadsides aimed at the legal system further demonstrate why he is unfit for any office, let alone the Oval Office, writes The Inquirer Editorial Board.
We should amplify the CEOs & business executives who are supporting Pres Biden's campaign.
LinkedIn's CEO Reid Hoffman: My view on which candidate in the US election is best for American business: Joe Biden.
On idiocy of fellow CEOs backing Trump, Reid Hoffman nicely summarizes why corporate leaders have historically empowered fascists & sometimes lived to regret it.
The Biden administration is delivering for American workers, creating jobs that blows away those generated in #TFG’s & the Bushes’ administrations, combined: “In May 272,000 jobs were created in US, far exceeding expectations. Wage growth was robust. My job tracker now comes in at:
33.8m jobs - 16 yrs Clinton, Obama
15.6m jobs - 3+ yrs Biden
1.9m jobs - 16 yrs 2 Bushes, Trump
Even Bloomberg agrees, #TFG's immigration 'crackdown' solution would be disastrous. But Bloomberg also unfairly accuses Pres Biden of causing the current debacle. It's Republicans, that for decades, who have thwarted all attempts to pass a comprehensive immigration bill that solves many of the problems:
"The former president’s policies would maximize chaos & cruelty while doing little to address the underlying problem."
RW #Media & groups step up the lies & #disinformation, but thankfully for Dems, they're losing their touch. Their judgement is misguided. Dolly is universally beloved, esp. by Gen X & seniors & Gen Z & millennials are concerned about #climatechange. Defending #TFG is⬆️fraught.
The Federalist on 6/6:
"Dolly’s right that all should be treated with love & kindness, but when we refuse to label sin a sin, we’re doing more harm than good."
"Fed Judge Caught Stumping For Biden’s Green Agenda In MT."
"In 2021, C Palihapitiya -Dem Party megadonor -considered running for CA gov. on a mod.-sounding platform. He's gone full #MAGA -funding convicted FELON Trump -is BIZARRE & EXTREME. SF tech leader G Tan is closely aligned with B Srinivasan, who wants to purge Dems. Tan has depicted YC, where he’s CEO, as part of Srinivasan’s “NET state” mvt. -nightmarishly authoritarian." @gilduran https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/donald-trump-san-francisco-19495231.php
#Netanyahu has escalated his attacks. He has no regard for Pres Biden, will continue the war through yearend, esp. if his wish comes true, that #TFG wins... The famine is worse, there's a lack of water, not enough #humanitarianaid, #warcrimes & #IHL violations are more frequent...
MSF: "MIL strikes continued last night in the Middle Area, Al-Aqsa hospital is barely coping with the influx of patients and dead people. “It’s a scene of devastation. This hospital is a sinking ship.”
🚨"Trump to speak at private CEOs meeting, after conviction."
Although COS Zients will attend (Pres Biden *at G7), #TFG will be there. Hopefully attendees understand that Pres Biden is better for business.
The meeting could draw all of the Business Roundtable’s members *>200 CEOs. It could prove to be a pivotal moment for TFG, who's been trying to reel in bus leaders to support & donate to his campaign -touting the idea of tax cuts-.
Disrespect for the law is spreading from #TFG & MOC to state legislators. Many Republicans now believe #J6 insurrectionists are pol prisoners & that LE officers who don't support TFG, shouldn't be respected.
On Wed, several Republicans in the PA House walked out of the chamber when 2 US CAP officers were being honored.
The officers honored were Sgts. H Dunn & A Gonell. Both defended the Capitol bldg on J6. St Rep Kenyatta reported some Rs booing & hissing.
Sen Rubio -top R on Intel CMTE: Pres Biden was “a demented man propped up by wicked & deranged ppl” -it was now time to “fight fire with fire” *flame emojis to rep. the fire. Seeking retribution thru the justice system is hardly a new concept for #TFG.
It's as if #TFG is president, given the current #nationalsecurity threats. These two Reps shouldn't have been able to run for reelection, they & #MAGAMike were part of the sedition caucus. The DOJ hasn't held them accountable for their actions.
SOH Johnson has named Reps Scott Perry & Ronny Jackson to the House Intel. CMTE.
The Intel CMTE oversees the entire intelligence community & gets some of the most sensitive intelligence about the US & its allies.
