MAGA Rages Over Missing Trump Phones & POTUS Heads to China with Elon and the Boys | The Daily Show

You notice how Trump immediately stopped talking about "draining the swamp" once he got in the White House? 🤨

Speaking of Trump corruption...

Billionaire owner of Ambassador Bridge met Trump official hours before Gordie Howe Bridge post: NYT report

Matthew Moroun, whose family has operated the Ambassador Bridge connecting Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, Mich., for decades, met with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick just hours before Trump threatened to block the opening of the nearby Gordie Howe International Bridge, the New York Times reported Tuesday. Sources told The Times that Lutnick spoke with Trump by phone about the matter after the meeting with Moroun. The president would post his threats about not allowing the bridge to open just before 6 p.m. ET on Monday. The Moroun family has made numerous efforts to stop the construction of another bridge between Windsor and Detroit. Matthew’s father, Manuel “Matty” Moroun, who died in 2020, publicly appealed to Trump during his first term in 2018 to revoke a presidential permit that former U.S. president Barack Obama granted to greenlight construction of the Gordie Howe Bridge.

So a US billionaire who owns a major bridge between Detroit, MI and Windsor, ON wants to keep his bridge monopoly in the area. The billionaire, Matthew Moroun (which I pronounce moron) called fellow billionaire Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (recently mentioned in Epstein files) to prevent a new bridge from being completed. Trump (another billionaire and all over the Epstein files) was only too happy to oblige his fellow billionaires.

So how the fuck does even a billionaire get to own an international bridge?

For now, billionaire cronies are keeping an almost completed bridge from being finished.

Canada should consider blockading Moroun/Moron's private bridge until the new one is completed.

The new bridge is named after hockey great Gordie Howe. Howe is famous for saying "elbows up!" during contentious moments in the hockey rink. That saying became almost a national motto in Canada last year. Canada needs to keep those elbows high.

Here are three stories sending the same message: If you're a Republican, or at least avoid doing things Republicans don't like, you're an American. If you challenge Republicans, you're not an American, and you have only as many rights as Republicans are willing to grant you.

The three stories are the mask ban in North Carolina, the murderer pardon in Texas, and Samuel Alito’s upside-down American flag.

The SNL version of Trump's White House speech was much shorter than the original. Though the latter was entertaining only in unintentional ways.

After a hiatus during the Trump years, Republicans are back in the mood for fiscal probity. It’s very strange not to seriously pursue a deeply held goal when you have unified control of Washington, then to insist on trying to achieve much of it in one fell swoop when you barely have control of one chamber of Congress.

Rich Lowry in POLITICO. He goes on to advocate trimming Social Security and Medicare.

Many of the senators who said Trump had done something wrong but not something impeachable sat in a room today and clapped like trained seals being tossed chum at the Douchebag Seaquarium.
