WHEN TRUMP DOES IT HE’S A DICTATOR, WHEN THEY DO IT IT’S FINE. “During the Obama administration they tapped the AP bureau’s phones and the phones of AP bureau reporters. They tapped their phones!”
Plus:
Maher chimed in: “Josh Earnest, he was in the Obama administration. He admitted it. He said: ‘The White House has demonstrated our willingness to exclude Fox News from news making interviews…. He said: ‘We’re going to treat them like we treat an opponent.’ This is exactly what I say about this country. Everybody’s like this is the worst thing in the world except when we do it. And then it’s always perfectly okay.'”
Yep.
JEFFREY CARTER: Why isn’t the market tanking? “The rule of thumb is that when inflation goes up and interest rates go up, stocks go down. That’s not happening, and no one can figure it out.”

Pretty much most the reasons people state for why they are upset about Trump is based on some fake news they read or were exposed to, whether that person is a dem or republican.

BUMP THOSE NUMBERS UP: Trump Cancels $810M for Illegal Immigrants, Race-Based Programs.
President Trump invoked a rare and legally contested power Friday to cancel $810 million in congressionally approved spending, targeting programs for illegal immigrants and a slate of federal initiatives explicitly organized around race and DEI.
The request hits 11 funding pools at seven departments and agencies. It also landed with just five days left in the fiscal year. That’s the point of the disputed “pocket rescission” maneuver: the money runs out before Congress gets its normal 45 days to consider the cuts.
The biggest piece is $567 million at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for services to refugees, asylees, unaccompanied minors, and other non-citizens.
The White House called them “pro-illegal immigration programs” and said the money is no longer needed because illegal border crossings have fallen sharply.
But immigration spending was only part of the package.
Several of the rescissions hit programs explicitly organized around race or ethnicity.
Well, good.

AMERICA HAS SENT GUNS TO BRITISH CITIZENS FIGHTING DICTATORS BEFORE:
When they pissed off this guy, they pissed off someone who has fought insurgencies, in Iraq and Afghanistan, knows how to run one, and knows the British counterinsurgency’s game from the inside.
They’ve succeeded in pissing off other British vets who know the same things.
What… https://t.co/BdLnvhSIXC

The prosecution of Danny Tommo is not a show of strength. It is a sign of weakness.

ROBERT SPENCER: The Latest Attempt to Impeach Trump Criminalizes Not Being a Leftist. “Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), an otherwise completely obscure far-left backbencher, has just made a bid not to slide into total oblivion once he finally skulks out of the Capitol for the last time. He has filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, and while many other quixotic leftists have done that, Cohen has distinguished himself in filing no less than 26 articles of impeachment against Trump, which has got to be a record.”
