Trump's legal issues have not been cheap. Enter the richest man in the world. Ole Donny may not have much time left in this world, but I'm sure he wants to leave the rest of his kids well taken care off.
"Stop hating on the billionaires that's trying to dismantle unions and go to war with labor!! You have to be nice to the billionaires!!!" Utterly pathetic. Get off your knees
You dont care for billionaires? Dude Elon musk is running the government right now. Hes stealing billions and canceling legal issues he had with the government and installing loyalists in power. MAGA has you brainwashed with culture war bullshit while they steal from ordinary americans to enrich themseles. The billionaires and the oligarchs are stealing from us in open sight.
Federal prosecutors withdraw from investigation targeting GOP’s Andy Ogles *** Last week, the congressman unveiled a proposal to allow Trump to run for a third term. This week, he’s no longer under investigation. *** Jan. 31, 2025, 12:54 PM EST By Steve Benen When Republican Rep. Andy Ogles unveiled a proposal last week to allow Donald Trump to run for a third term, it was a rather obvious partisan stunt. There was, however, a nagging question hanging over the Tennessee congressman’s motivations. After all, Ogles isn’t just another far-right member of Congress (of which there are many). He’s also the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. Indeed, it was roughly five months ago when the GOP lawmaker publicly disclosed that the FBI had seized his cellphone and personal email as part of an apparent probe into his finances. In other words, it was possible that Ogles introduced an absurd proposal to empower Trump to run again in 2028 because of his affection for the president, knowing full well it will never become law. But it was also possible that he was trying to flatter Trump and get his attention amid an investigation that might lead to a criminal indictment. Just eight days after Ogles unveiled his measure, it appears there’s some news out of Tennessee. WTVF, the CBS affiliate in Nashville, reported: Let’s pause to review how we arrived at this point. Ogles was already a scandal-plagued congressman when WTVF reported in late 2023 that the congressman’s financial reports showed he had made a $320,000 personal loan to his 2022 campaign. That might not have been especially problematic — candidates often make such loans — were it not for the fact that Ogles’ financial disclosures suggested he didn’t have $320,000. Months later, the Republican effectively conceded that his earlier claims weren’t true. He said he’d actually loaned his campaign $20,000, not $320,000, though it remained an open question as to who or what provided Ogles with the rest of the money. This has become the subject of an intensifying congressional ethics investigation, but perhaps more alarming to the congressman, federal law enforcement took an interest in the matter, too. The investigation was ongoing when there was a dispute between Ogles’ lawyers and the U.S. attorney’s office over access to evidence on his phone. That matter ended up in court, but before it could be fully adjudicated, federal prosecutors withdrew from the case, raising questions about whether the investigation will continue as Trump and his team take control of federal law enforcement.

Trump literally is weaponizing government against his detractors - he is once again doing what he blames others for doing, and it looks like they stole the damned election. DD
They are attempting the greatest wealth transfer in history. Elon and Trump are robbing the country blind.
Its genuinely insane. Elons folks are controlling treasury payment tools and the tariff income of 25% on imported goods is going to be sent to the treasury where elons folks will have their hands over. Its the biggest bank heist in history. It's insane
If we import more goods than anyone else in the world, and then begin paying more for imports our exports will have to be made and sold at a higher cost. It seems to me that other countries will find cheaper products elsewhere. It seems like a no win situation to me.
I find it disturbing that Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth deflected from answering a direct question of whether they would refuse an illegal order from Trump. They all refused to answer it directly by simply saying that yes, they would refuse an illegal order. It's not a tough question, and makes me question whether they would put Trump loyalty above all else.
They are literally robbing the US Government blind. DOGE is a completely made up group that has no authority from congress.
The first place you go to get a grip on a failing business is to look at the disbursements. Stack them up and prioritize the largest ones first. Don't let anyone send money out without a review of each item. It's the basics of managing a turnaround. And it's being applied to our fat, bloated, wasteful, inefficient government. It's a beautiful thing to see. Stop wasting our tax dollars! Trump is bringing efficiency and reform to government. GOOD DAY
The Democrats let government spending SOAR to levels that many never thought possible. We were not on a sustainable path (during Democrat rule) -- we were on a suicidal fiscal path that would create a massive national security threat, as the government issues T-bills to finance ever-increasing budget deficits. DOGE (spending cuts) and economic growth are the pathways out. This will lead to prosperity and strengthen our standing versus countries (China) who own our debt. This was a major issue in the 2024 election and why so many fiscal conservatives voted for Trump/Vance/Musk. GOOD DAY
