You know what’s sad? We’re relieved that the Supreme Court finally did something remotely decent by denying his appeal. The bar is on the floor. And let’s be real: he’ll probably end up just paying some symbolic penalty—oh wait, the judge said he won’t even face a fine! It’s baffling that a man with this many felonies could take the Oval Office with no real punishment.

Right, the bar’s subterranean at this point. What’s next, awarding him a medal for showing up to court? The same folks who scream ‘lock her up’ when it comes to Hillary are somehow cool with their guy getting a free pass on 34 felonies. Hypocrisy incarnate.

Don’t give him ideas for that ‘34 Felonies Strong’ merch—he’d probably slap it on a red hat and call it ‘limited edition.’ In all seriousness, the real tragedy is how easily he manipulates public outrage into a marketing tactic. People fall for it time and again.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
