Among the many, many screenshots of “How it started, how it’s going.” Is this one of WaPo’s endorsement of Pam Bondi (but not of Kamala Harris of course, that would’ve been unprofessional LOL) She’s serious alright, serious about using the DOJ as Trump’s attack dog every time she can.

True. At least we know exactly what his intentions are (and also Heritage Foundation too, and today’s GOP).

It’ll never not amaze me that people don’t understand a fundamental truth: Anything worth doing is hard or more pointedly, the right thing to do is invariably the hard thing to do.

Is there anything these laughable MAGA Minions won’t swallow? This guy critiques an absolute idiot in Hegseth, stunningly unqualified to lead the DoD, at the same time extolling the absolute idiot that nominated him as a “savvy” businessman who nominated an idiot. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

There’s a difference between bloated and inefficient. Cutting government without a plan, one that takes into account ensuring government actually works efficiently, is counterproductive. How “bloated” are governments really? economist.com/graphic-deta... from The Economist

It’s axiomatic that a lifelong pathological liar will lie about EVERYTHING now that he has the power to force the government to lie about EVERYTHING. I’d say it’s Orwellian but really, I think even Oceania’s elites would take umbrage at that comparison saying, “That guy is just evil dude.”

Worth making this point: How many country’s are interested in negotiating with a pathological liar who betrays every agreement he’s ever made? Seriously, ask any subcontractor he’s ever worked with whether they’d work with him again. He’s a lying cheat, they wouldn’t nor will other countries.

Lets be clear: Wall Street, and the right, are filled with greedy, narcissistic dumbasses whose main philosophy is “the end justifies the means”. No morality, no patriotism, no freaking logic for that matter, just naked self interest. And this is what happens when you have no principles to guide you

Let’s be clear: The GOP is going to massively increase the federal debt. We spend, per George Will, $11 million dollars every 5 minutes on our national debt TODAY. This SOB Roy, who fancies himself a conservative, has ZERO intention of doing anything about that debt versus enriching the wealthy.

They don’t and the consequences will occur soon enough. Then there won’t be anyone to fix them because they fired everyone and appointed an incompetent fool as head of the administration.

It’s always worth noting this man has failed repeatedly in business, often and a lot. I’m certain he said his BIG, BEAUTIFUL, DEAL for Atlantic City casinos would supercharge the AC economy until it failed literally 6 months later. He’s a loser who’s only success is from cheating people.

There’s certainly no irony, nope, none whatsoever, that the country most associated with hapless and hopeless appeasement of nascent tyrants is embarking on a policy of…appeasement. Let’s be clear: Trump’s strategy is as simple as it is diabolical, Divide and Conquer. It is the Prisoner’s Dilemma.

To whit: They used Signal because they don’t believe they are accountable to those they serve, the American people. NO ONE in the Trump administration believes they’re accountable to the American people because Trump doesn’t think he’s accountable to them. Such are the realities of dictatorship.

It is the logical outcome of Citizen’s United: unlimited money translates to unlimited power being exercised by those who have the most money. In other words, NOT limiting money in politics, equivalent to not limiting POWER, the foundational principle in a democracy, had destroyed the government.
