This is one week of Popinfo. One week of corruption beyond belief coupled with a lack of interest by our government to feed starving children in Africa - believable - but in our own communities? How low can we go? Your investigations are fire, and I bet you never imagined that in one week, you could cover more garbage than most administrations could not muster in eight years.
What we are fighting right now is not the corruption but the normalization of corruption. And the belief by some who are not making money, and the absolute belief by those who are that Twump is a hero, not the sick perverted despot that he is and always has been. How the f did we get here, Pogo?
Yup. This guy isn’t running again so I guess he figures running his mouth doesn’t matter. But his twin brother is running for his House seat. Not content to brag he added an insult for 60% of the population.
Texas has a literal good vs evil choice this November. Paxton, a despicable opportunist criminal or Tallarico who is empathetic, intelligent, and with a glow about him.
If some one had told me ten years ago that many of the complaints found in our Declaration of Independence listed against King George - his army deporting and firing on colonial inhabitants, stopping vital immigration, abusing local government and killing his own citizens, to name just a few - are now the everyday actions of the real estate mob boss posing as President and his selfempretzling sycophants, I would have hopefully reminded everyone that the future is not predetermined and failure of the democratic experiment will instead be a result of the character of its inhabitants to put up with such corruption, capriciousness, carelessness and chaos.
Well, here we are. Not at the end of it all, but at the crossroads of democracy and dictatorship, at the middle of the collapse. How hopeful can I still be?
Thank you for the reminder that our responsibility to our democracy is to continue to serve its ideals no matter how hopeless we feel. But some mornings, it’s just all so tiring. What gives me strength is my kids. I am reminded that being accountable to my daughter and son and their futures is priority one, because when I am accountable to them, I am accountable to every child.
He talked a lot but he never went to Ft Knox which is roughly an hour from where I live. “Missing gold” was one of the things he’s said that the Dept of Treasury has never endorsed. Maybe he’s too busy crazy gluing gaudy gold on the walls of the WH.
$68 Million (that we know about) for the state fair and a handful of people attend. Yellow gunk oozing from the replica of the arch he plans. There then is the cheap printed vinyl that has wrinkled over the warping cheap plywood. People are calling it “the Temu Arch”.
Dear Judd,

Great picture: notice how well crowd control is working on the Mall during the Great American State Fair.
👍
A large piece of the stage fell. I don’t think that will encourage crowds or performers.

Happy Fourth of July.
One should never lose hope. I will continue making phone calls, attending rallies and bridge standouts (it was hot yesterday), writing postcards, etc.
Worst case, I can look my kids in the eye and say: "I tried."

Bingo!
Thank you.
Thanks for the summary of the week in Trump regime’s corruption. It’s to hard to keep up with all his dirty deals$ and pay to pay-
Bottom line: if he & his crime family aren’t making millions - they aren’t doing it.
& hope after he’s gone - the next admin- tears down the arch, all his gaudy baubles in the Oval, the ballroom & etc
Remember when he wanted to “audit” Fort Knox? Did he remove all the gold m? He doesn’t mention it anymore. 🤨 please investigate. TY
He talked a lot but he never went to Ft Knox which is roughly an hour from where I live. “Missing gold” was one of the things he’s said that the Dept of Treasury has never endorsed. Maybe he’s too busy crazy gluing gaudy gold on the walls of the WH.
Trump & Co corruption & criminality on an epic scale:
In 12 Months Your President Made $1.4 Billion.
