#Trump campaigned extensively last year on a promise to exact #revenge on his political adversaries & frequently spread #ConspiracyTheories about Democratic fundraising.
In a memo Thurs, Trump alleged that “online fundraising platforms have been willing participants in schemes to launder excessive & prohibited contributions to political candidates & committees.”
The real #WeaponizationOfGovernment:
#Trump & #GOP ramp up investigations of #Democrats
Trump directed his AG to investigate fundraising platforms such as #ActBlue, the central fundraising apparatus of the #DemocraticParty — escalating his effort to use his power to target political opponents & —in this case — the core machinery of his opposition.

In his statement, #Trump accused #Zelensky of making “inflammatory” statements that he claimed would prolong the war [#gaslighting #lies #projection]
“If he wants #Crimea, why didn’t they fight for it 11 years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired?” Trump [moronically] wrote. “The statement made by Zelenskyy today will do nothing but prolong the “killing field,” & nobody wants that!”
I just found out my doctor has been gaslighting other patients. I thought I was special.

@todymotmot @benroyce @FranceskaMann @profdc9 Good to know when the DNC sees itself as a bulwark against any intrusion of public enterprise into whatever is at issue and what they will inevitably call a "market".
The anti-purity refrains used to uphold 100% pure private enterprise policies got us here as surely as surely as anything else did.
I'm done with this Orwellian SHIT. If you want a mixed economy, then field some actual public (non-profit) enterprises for a change. #gaslighting
Only answer this poll if you're also #ActuallyAutistic - please refrain from answering if you're not autistic - thank-you.
Do you always know when someone isn't being completely truthful with you & have you experienced gaslighting from the ones that you knew weren't being fully honest?
I was watching corporate news when a "reporter" ---in reference to a Trump statement---said, "That, of course, is factually incorrect."
What's wrong with "That statement is a lie?" "Factually incorrect" is passive voice. People don't HEAR "factually incorrect." It's #Sanewashing and #Gaslighting.
Just once, I'd like to hear a corporate news reporter say, "Trump lied today..."
It’s *possible* as some are saying that whoever altered the photo did so to explain the tattoos.
1. If that is the case, I doubt #Trump realized it.
2. MS-13 is notorious for boldly displaying the gang’s name in their tats. They don’t use code.
3. The neo-Nazi that came up w/this tattoo theory claims the cross & the skull are covering what used to be a 1 & a 3. That skull for sure was not a 3.
#Trump posted a photo of himself holding up a picture claiming to show #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s tattoos that prove he’s MS-13.
The picture he’s holding has obviously been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13.
The source of this BS is a neo-Nazi X user who claims the tattoos are code for “MS-13.”
This is why you try people in court of #law & not on social media.
Gaslighting Teil 1: Was ist #Gaslighting und wie sieht die #Manipulation aus?
Gaslighting – diesen Begriff hört man häufig, wenn es um toxische Beziehungen, narzisstischen Missbrauch und emotionale Manipulation geht.Aber was verbirgt sich https://bit.ly/4lEp0Li #psychotHHerapie #Abgrenzung #ToxischeBeziehung
"Some scholars argue that we now inhabit a “culture of offense,” a way of turning a claim that some behavior or statement is offensive into, in effect, a right to be offended, which creates a further claim of victimhood. I expect that we can all think of examples of how this culture can be used as a cudgel to disingenuously keep disfavored views and voices out of the public realm."

I hadn’t seen that the #DOJ actually submitted a transcript of the #Trump / #Bukele presser to the court as part of their status update. Absolutely ridiculous.

‘Alien Enemies’ or Innocent Men? Inside Trump’s Rushed Effort to Deport 238 Migrants
The #Trump admin sent them to a prison in #ElSalvador under a wartime act, calling
them members of a Venezuelan gang. But a NYT investigation found little evidence of criminal backgrounds or links to the gang.

What-the-ever-loving-fuck? #Trump propagandist Karoline Leavitt is inventing shit out of whole cloth here!
Never, has there ever been even a mention of human trafficking in #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s past. Never. Not ever.
(He’s also not M-13, nor a terrorist)

#JDVance is making the ludicrous claim that retrieving #KilmarAbregoGarcia is tantamount to invading El Salvador.
The United States literally contracted #ElSalvador to house the *deportees*.
Does he think even the MAGA supporters are stupid enough to believe this?
That or he actually thinks the #UnitedStates is so weak that it cannot ask a political & financial partner to help them rectify an error.
Idiocy! Lies!
#Elsalvador is being used by tRump like pUtin is using #Belarus; two #NarcissisticPsychopath-ic #dictators driving global citizens to follow #Fascist ideology through #gaslighting, #manipulation and #CoerciveControl, which will end in global #CollectiveGenocide if we don't fight back.

Trump’s #Tariffs Are as Bad as Bidenomics
“Not since Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff has a president chosen to disregard a larger body of informed opinion than President #Trump did when he instituted his protectionist trade policy.
Based on a series of verifiably false grievances [or #Gaslighting]—wages haven’t grown in 50 years, manufacturing has been hollowed out by imports, countries with trade surpluses are “ripping us off”—Mr. Trump used constitutionally questionable powers to abrogate congressionally approved trade agreements and undermine the world’s trading system.”
