You’re operating on a false premise that the average Trump supporter sees him as bad

And who is Ventzi Nelson? Well they/them are a Keyboard/Singer type with a Bulgarian name. No matter any Trump slam is good by me.

It is literally the truth. What you’re saying comes from the Ministry of Truth.

What of that forgiveness thing I mentioned, is it not worthy.

Right, so George Floyd deserved to be killed for resisting arrest but the Jan 6th rioters deserve forgiveness and to be let out of prison early for actively assaulting police officers. I wonder what the major difference between the two is?

Don't be silly, he deserved to be killed due to his skin color.

Haven't you been paying attention to inner city policing protocols???

Hi folks,

Now that we know Trump is going to try to run for a 3rd term, my daughter thinks we should just run Obama against him.

Sounds good to me,

Hi folks,

It is always easy to spend the other person's money.

Re:  Oregon’s annual TRIO allocation of $17.5 million is less than President Donald Trump is estimated to have spent in taxpayer dollars on trips to his private Palm Beach resort this year. A 2019 report from the Government Accountability Office estimated each trip Trump takes to Mar-a-Lago costs taxpayers about $3.4 million. Trump has made seven trips to the resort since January, according to reporting in The Guardian, which would put the cost at more than $23 million.

Heck, who needs a college education anyway?  There should be a lot of jobs on the assembly lines of all those new auto factories that will be built in this country.

Hi folks,

One more step on the road to King Donald:  Any such move would bring a sledgehammer to a number of different lawsuits currently challenging Trump administration policies.

Grassley unveils bill to limit reach of judicial rulings

Once the Third Reich got the judges in line, it was all over.

Like so many Jews in Germany in the 30's, people think it cannot happen here.

Just watch as it plays out,

All according to the playbook too many are too slow to see being used as a template. Just because they're evil doesn't mean they are too stupid to have studied what works. The public will need to rise up to fix this, I fear. Hey, I know! Seeing as how our retired Special Forces folks are too busy deploring the situation maybe I can get all of us retired Arizona Challenge jumpers to march on USPA Headquarters. That'll show we're serious.

Although the gesture in the Senate is largely futile I see it as somewhat heartening to see that this is one of the few issues seen as worth risking the wrath of the head MAGAt over.

It's just symbolic pissing in the wind.  It won't have any effect unless it also passes in the House, and Johnson won't ever let it come up for a vote.

I wonder if the House budget has a line item for knee pads for Republican members.  They can sure use them.

It is symbolic, but if no one ever pushes the rudder, the course remains the same. It will need to go to the senate, then to Trump for a veto. Rinse/repeat. It takes the first step for the entire formation to move in unison. I'm hoping we see more from our legislators - who right now are not, well, legislating, nor holding Trump accountable for circumventing the process.

Because it's just more useless opposition symbolism it is, well, as useless as a drum roll and a few more chants of Blue Wave, Blue Wave! So what that four self serving assholes saw more value their reelections by making a vote that goes nowhere and does nothing. The Democrats need to obstruct, obstruct, and obstruct some more all while telling the country that the whole mess is the fault of Dumb Ass Trump and his enabling Republicans in the house and senate. Unfortunately Bookers leadership will likely be soon forgotten.

Thu US markets just had their worst day since the Covid outbreak because Trump and his economics team are just so much dumber than anyone even realised yet. The supposed tariff percentage they are retaliating against is actually a figure of trade deficit divided by total imports, which they're describing as the US losing out.

This means when there are generally poor countries mining and selling a bunch of rare minerals that US industry needs but who can't afford to import much of what the US makes with those minerals, they get smacked with a huge reciprocal tariff. Which means that it is now much more expensive for US industry to get the materials it needs. What an amazing win!

I saw an interesting article that shows how it’s quite plausible that Trump used ChatGbt to calculate the tariffs.
