Trump hasn’t been seen for a week. I hope he’s not ok. I hope he does headline his own America 250 celebration and once again become a target (for ridicule of course 😉)

Emmet Oz is bending over backwards to glorify tRump. This man has swallowed the orange kool aid

PleaseMakeItStopPlease's avatar

Oz will do anything for a buck, or a $250 bill with Trump’s face on it.

Richard Waddell's avatar

Acing a cognitive test - that never before was a point to brag about.

Might as well claim to have passed a urine test.

Oz is a

HUGE disappointment to Americans and to his profession

Sara Mogil's avatar

At one time Oz was a good doctor and inventor of practical medical instruments. The Hippocratic Oath was put by the wayside when he realized he could bamboozle people with unproven wellness products and make more money. It’s all about the money for this creep.

Denise's avatar

Trump likes his results? I picture a 5 year old jumping up and down after they get their first gold star sticker. Let’s see, he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations, is “bored” with Iran and the never-materializing peace talks….yawn. Truly Nero, fiddle harder and faster. He’s in a sandbox and has broken all his toys, having a meltdown, while screaming for new toys.

bending over frontwards more like!

Gloria C.'s avatar

I was just wondering why he still has a license to practice.

Touchstone's avatar

Sad that someone like Oz who could afford to give Trump the figurative finger, bows down and kisses the, ah...."ring." But then, he's shown his ethics by pushing unproven health remedies.

S. A. Linden's avatar

He needs to have his medical license revoked.

JulieB's avatar

Oz and Dr Phil have done well .. thank you Oprah.

Liga H's avatar

I used to like the guy. 🤦‍♀️🙄

CaptObveeUs's avatar

Just take my word “we are not moving forward with the fund”

Pat's avatar

DR Oz is a disgrace to medical professionals, to the American people and to humanity over-all.

Suzanne Dallimore's avatar

It's already veing reported that the Cip-Bwater Fund is nNOT dead, $$ us moving.

Also reported the Tax Audit forever get out of jail free card deal is in effect. Blanche signed for YSA.

Goid evidence.

Blanche = a. aider + a better to larceny. Co-Conspirator to a fraud on the United States.

Oz and Dr Phil have done well .. thank you Oprah.

He should have his medical license taken away!

I watched the entire hearing and Blanche is definitely Trumps personal attorney. He confirmed he is standing behind the immunity of Trump and his family. He never wanted that part public. He also admitted he sees absolutely nothing wrong with the profit that the Trump family is benefiting from the war and pay to play. He admitted he wouldn’t even adding assign a special prosecutor to look into anything. He also tried to blow off the Epstein Files with more bs and thinks everyone is going to believe his bs. The last bribes for pardons is just the icing on the cake. So keep paying Donnie off… and you are free. I’m so sad tonight…

Linda Harris's avatar

Is it just me or what? Where are all the questions about the Epstein Files and about why Ghislaine Maxwell got a sweetheart deal and is in Club Fed. And why the last 3 million files haven't been released and why the redactions occurred and no written explanation was give for who was redacted and why survivors names were not redacted and on and on.

Rebecca Clark's avatar

And why does Acting Attorney General Blanche feel there is no one to prosecute in the Epstein files and that the case is done? No more releases of documents. Does he feel he is above the law requiring the release of these documents?

Carol Gamm's avatar

Protection for Trump’s allies. As long as Republicans protect them, they feel safe.

Kathryn Zaremski's avatar

YES, Acting AG Blanche DOES think he’s above the LAW. He thinks he IS the law. And Trump is directing his every despicable move. The 250 pardons on the 250th birthday of our once-great country will likely include Blanche. You KNOW Trump’s days are numbered now, so he better give cover to his favs while he still can. God knows they’ll all NEED a pardon after what they’ve all done in Trump’s behalf!

PleaseMakeItStopPlease's avatar

That’s why the war was started, to distract from those things and wash out the news cycle and it’s working g unfortunately.

Richard Waddell's avatar

Every crisis has come into being to distract attention from THE EPSTEIN FILES...and the files are lurking in many places, in many people's closets...

Touchstone's avatar

It's not just you. Why hasn't anyone been prosecuted in the DOJ for breaking the law for not releasing ALL the Epstein files by the December deadline????

Linda Harris's avatar

Patel, bondi and blanche have been in contempt since 12/19/25. The Epsteing Transparency Act is so succinct. Release all of the files by 12/19 Redact the survivors' names unless there is a written explanation for the redaction. That's it. They haven't followed it at all. Are they not allowed to ask Epstein questions and only budget questions?

Kathryn Zaremski's avatar

GOOD Question! But did you really have to ask it? The DOJ is supposed to be the agency to investigate and prosecute and since THEY are the criminal in this case, what do you think the chances are they will do their job? ZERO!

Kathryn Zaremski's avatar

Katie Phang just filed a lawsuit to get to those very questions. Yay Katie!

Linda Harris's avatar

And the courts for once are not taking their time, it will be heard on 6/12 so that is quite fast. Just love her.

dfieldman's avatar

The outrageous Epstein scandal cover-up is camouflaged by Trump's continued malfeasance, bribery, grifting, the war in Iran and the ME, Ukraine, the extrajudicial murders of fishermen off the coast of Venezuela, the failed 250 National Mall smash, Reflecting Pool "Blue," the ballroom fiasco, East Wing, appointments of unqualified and doubtful appointees, state elections, invasion of Cuba, etc.

Linda Harris's avatar

Don't forget that God awful arch.

PleaseMakeItStopPlease's avatar

Blanche has been Trump’s personal attorney for a long time. He’s of course profiting from the presidency just like anyone else that is kissing trump’s ass (besides the uneducated bafoons that actually still wear maga hats).

Denise's avatar

I just noticed your name and thought good God isn’t it the truth. The SCOTUS Just ruled Alabama can redraw their maps but Virginia ignores its own citizens. 🙄 Seriously, MAKE IT STOP. 🛑

S. A. Linden's avatar

I think that there ought to be a LOT more news and controversy about Gov. Kay Ivey invalidating/canceling out a previous election in Alabama. Votes had been counted and winners declared.

As well as La. suspending their election.

If that is going to be a precedent, then this isn't a democracy anymore.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

"Nothing wrong"? It's literally in the Constitution. If we didn't have a cowering GOP Congress, he'd be long gone and all his riches stripped from him.

Buckeyechick's avatar

Betting there is something in it for him…Trump making it worth his while, at least for now. Blanche will get thrown under the bus like everyone else if stuff goes south.

S. A. Linden's avatar

Blanche knows where the bodies are buried. Trump would be just stupid enough to get rid of him anyway.

S Bennett (Bennett)'s avatar

He would honestly be idolized so much more if he was. 🙄 Just another Kirk situation. I truly think his own mind should take him. Dementia is cruel punishment enough for a man that says only his own morality can stop him. Plus it just feels like karma.

Patti Campbell's avatar

Dementia takes too long.

Debra Banks's avatar

Let that start right now! Oh wait - IT HAS ALREADY STARTED!! LOL

Where they usually are - licking his boots.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Running away so they don't have to deal with Trump's displeasure.

Patti Campbell's avatar

What sane person cares if the old sicko hasn't been seen in public for a few days? I count that as a blessing. I cannot tolerate seeing his despicable ugly face or hear his whining voice. Personally, I wish he would just disappear from the face of the earth - sorta' like the Wicked Witch of the West collapsed into a puddle of liquid fat. Maybe he'll get so furious about how things are not going his way that he actually blows a gasket.

PleaseMakeItStopPlease's avatar

Or ……. Maybe he’ll be dressed like Jesus, I mean a doctor 😅

Suede67's avatar

Or......maybe he'll keep it real and dress like the asshole he actually is.😝

PleaseMakeItStopPlease's avatar

In his cheap Temu suit that is probably tailored for frequent incontinence

Suede67's avatar

lol, I think you might be on to something.👍

Debra Banks's avatar

Or the target idea won’t be about ridicule! 😳

I know, but I’m not gonna be the one to spell it out. I’m already in deep water.

I read that he went to his golf course in VA Saturday but did not play golf. He was pictured in his armored car looking very bad indeed.

Important Update: Weaponization Fund is Dead,

that could mean djt is in decline and debating in his team who will kicked out of his backstabbers team ,Massie was all ready out , the next will be ....

but the epstein files are still open

Trump Health Questions: by Democrats ?

here the think: every product has an expire date !!! product cumm to djt expire date is 2026.08.15 , and so close...

Maria K.'s avatar

Blanche is such a POS! Idiot, she is asking you to PUT DOWN IN WRITING that no other fund of this type will ever be set up again. What's so confusing about it? Because now, without them putting it in writing and signing it, they can still set up something else similar, call it differently, and proceed with the same course of action, despite the opposition from the constituents.

Tena 401year Isle Center World's avatar

all this gangsters telling are lies lies deadly flies , like difficult bills which harm every taxpayer named friendly , how long can we take this B.S.

btw it seems djt is on vacation he is already a week not seen ,meaby he is drawind that childies pictures of his trausers full of poop

Touchstone's avatar

Not completely dead--especially the part where Trump and his family can't be prosecuted by the IRS. THAT tells you there are definitely things to prosecute!

Richard Waddell's avatar

and THAT is why the formal request to Mr. T. Blanche for the specifics of the fund's demise to be documented AND SIGNED by the appropriate people...and he says, in so many words, his "word" is good enough after having mouthed it several times. Seems to me that any lie repeated over and over REMAINS A LIE, and NEVER become the truth.

Paul  Kayen's avatar

Hope he’s fk’n dead

Hopefully they roll him out in an open casket for proof he’s not going to do that perverse dance to the YMCA.

He's having heart surgery. If they can find it.

Don’t think he’s EVER been ok… but at least he was able to hide it better!

Tena 401year Isle Center World's avatar

djt is slowly the dummy head for the trump family gangsters ,he is like that pinup girl just only that domm blond ,without being a racist to myself as women , on the cover of the blackbox ,he yelt all lies because he understands nothing about politics these republicans are in charge and his billionaires, he is just that puppet on that string !!!!

And don’t forget Dr. Phil. That list of hers: must buy if you have $$$? She is an insufferable narcissist, too.

I used to watch his show and am now regretting it. Had I known he was such an a** kisser to Trump I wouldn’t have watched him.

Terri's avatar

If I was sick at home instead of at work, I, too watched her show. It didn’t start out the way it’s been for the last 20 years. It was pretty good in the beginning. But she evolved with the devil. MONEY. And MORE MONEY.

Josh's avatar

Who in this administration isn’t?

Kelly Duncan's avatar

The slush fund, in that form, is gone. They will not stop. They also did not stop his IRS immunity.

Linda Harris's avatar

Scott MacFarlane reported just awhile ago that no one (both sides) believes that this fund is dead regardless of what blanche stated. They want it eliminated completely so it does not come back again in any form.

Kay Romeo's avatar

He said about 3 minutes later that they reserved the right to appeal. So it is not dead.

Lynette Mason's avatar

This version may be done, but another scam is waiting in the wings

Jeanie Bowman Hill's avatar

True story! Blanche’s fake indignation that anyone would doubt his word is so disgusting!!!

Dotty's avatar

It's buried deep in these bills . Just like our military now compromised with Isreal ...hidden way back in tiny tiny lettering under a ink spot on pg 1001 .More money for foreign influence . Trumo wasn't a dino or Rino hes clearly Russian /Isreal with CIA /FBI ties and no ones stopping him

J. Lintecume's avatar

Blanche said that that it wasn’t immunity for IRS investigations. So, can I get that same thing if it isn’t immunity?

Kelly Duncan's avatar

He also said the past, where the legal papers definitely say past, present, and future.

Kay Romeo's avatar

The purple hair lady was not having that bs answer

The Magpie Chronicles's avatar

Agreed. That Blanche wouldn’t provide a legal document to that effect makes it clear. The legal cases in VA and FL are still in effect and I believe THIS is why they are pulling the fund. They’re in some legal trouble on this.

LMCT's avatar

What about amnesty? If he won’t put their withdrawal in a written revocation, I won’t believe it. I doubt I’d believe it then.

And a 25 year old insurrectionist in charge of counterterrorism, they truly don’t care about our safety.

S. A. Linden's avatar

Trump wants people who take orders. People they can push around. They're at the point where they're taking teenagers.

Tena 401year Isle Center World's avatar

they are very sick persons in the eyes of we the people , and they are being over protected by the US laws secret service , they set trends so in the US all man who are going abuse on minors are ok the president himself is ok its real ok , so what do we get ? a very sick sad society .

Lizziebeth's avatar

That IRS immunity scam needs to be 86d.

Andrea Dorn's avatar

No, not gone, just sleeping like a dragon.

Jamie Wolf's avatar

they will keep his corpse around just for their agenda. who knows what the truth is anymore from this regime.

Toni's avatar

It's giving “Weekend at Bernie's” vibes

Anthony Rupert's avatar

Trump can’t be found? Hey, Donnie, to quote Maroon 5: “If I never see your face again, I don’t mind.”

Linda Harris's avatar

The maggots won't accept a normal death, so if he dies of old age, a heart attack etc. they cannot make a martyr of him. So I am sure repubs and the rest of his regime will cook something up if he is truly dead. Like a fake assassination that works this time. Then he becomes a martyr and they will want his name on literally everything. And he will be praised as the man who gave his life to America and all that other BS. I have officially gone over to the dark side with conspiracists.

Patti Campbell's avatar

I feel your pain! The despicable donnie the draft dodger cannot become a martyr.

Nancy Endersby's avatar

Totally agree with you and Linda!

Michele Cler's avatar

Please continue to keep the whole “payments for pardons” coverage in the forefront. Thanks Aaron.

Jeanie Bowman Hill's avatar

yes!! 🙌🏻 I love that they’re calling things as they really are!! 🙌🏻

S. A. Linden's avatar

Boy that Glenn Ivey could match Blanche point for point. I looked up his credentials and they are *very* impressive.

Dawna Swan's avatar

Todd Blanche is up to something that is why he won’t sign anything that says the fund is off the plate completely and won’t be brought back in some other plan.

Mary Beth Jones's avatar

He refused specifically to write anything about it. He outright said NO I WONT PUT IT IN WRITING

Adam Stoler's avatar

Oz (his MD degree is in real doubt) is now a fucking stand up comic. What bullshit. And they all think WE'RE stupid.

srsk's avatar

so the DOJ is "not moving forward with the fund". Firstly, Blanche's careful use of this singular phrase is worryingly specific. Additionally, are they moving forward with the part about never being able to audit the president and his family/ businesses? If they are, was the fund just a diversion to make it seem like the American people won something, while the true intent of protecting the family from prosecution remains?

Kit's avatar

I think that was part of the original IRS suit. This was like a counter suit for the 1776 money. I think when Trump said we'll drop all the IRS $10B investigation if you won’t audit me my family, or my companies for a certain amount of time and give me the 1.776 billion lush fund. I'm still trying to figure out why everyone truly believes that Trump was going to give any that money away to anyone other than himself and his family.

Donna McGill's avatar

Looks like we'll find out since the Senate just signed a bill - at 4 a.m. - that funds it after all and with no limitations.

Wendy Miessler's avatar

TY Aaron for consistent reporting!

Stef's avatar

How is this J6 pos getting a clear background clearance?? This undermines so many highly regarded government employees with impeccable backgrounds. I hate this government behavior right now

BethS's avatar

Do you honestly believe they are doing background clearance checks? Many reports of Trump halting them. https://abcnews.com/Politics/white-house-orders-halt-fbi-background-checks-senior/story?id=119735530

The only test anyone in the government needs to pass is the loyalty test. Other than that, no standards at all.

Dotty's avatar

Or being either a certified felon, a embezzeling conman or a pervert . That's has to be on your resume or your not a real Gop

BethS's avatar

More like they don’t care about a person’s criminal history or moral character. They just aren’t factors because Trump fully believes that he and anyone that is wealthy and anyone that idolizes him are above the law. Their purpose is to serve only him by any means possible.

Bert Rutherford's avatar

They were pardoned. It never happened.

Kit's avatar

They're still convicted of what they were convicted of. It's still on their records. All trump did was pardon the time that they have to serve for the crime that they committed. Otherwise, if they got charged with a felony and convicted by a jury or a judge, then they are still technically felon. Just like their big papa, Trump.

BethS's avatar

I'm sorry but I am not going to take Blanche at his word. I'm with Rep. Grace Meng, it needs to be in writing that there will be no efforts to reinstate the fund through other vehicles.

Pat's avatar

Do not start your thought with “I'm sorry”. You should not be putting less value on your opinion.

BethS's avatar

Just a sarcastic expression used to express incredulity without cursing in my neck of the woods, but I do thank you for your input and will take care with use of local lingo.

Dotty's avatar

And even if it was in writing , it would be in invisible ink .. I guarantee you that

DebDeb's avatar

He’s probably so pissed about his slush fund since he abandoned his $10b lawsuit for it hahahaha!

Mike Hammer's avatar

Slush fund dead. IRS family forgiveness plan is alive and well. He’s cavitating like a beached whale who within a short while will explode from his own toxic fumes. Spontaneous combustion might be on pay per view.
