There is no greater ass kissing for a cabinet member than to say your successes are a direct result of Trump‘s leadership.

If you were President and wanted to create the most chaos and uncertainty with the least amount of effort, what would you do?

If the US actively takes a leadership role in the world (without being asked) for decades, does that mean we have been taken advantage of?

Judge that rules against or criticizes Trump at all = “radical left lunatic activist judge”. Judge that rules in his favor = “such a great judge”.

Now that our adversaries know that we use Signal, how long before his supply chain attack compromises that?

It has been a wild ride as a relatively new Tesla owner. After purchase a year ago, I directlty experienced harassment from MAGA. Soon after, Elon joined MAGA, and the hate shifted from the right to the left. I just want to drive my damn car without it being a political statement!

Lets say hypothetically draining the swamp is the answer. Doesn’t it matter *HOW* they do that?
Thoughtfully and incrementally to minimize risk?
Or recklessly, damn the consequences?

Even if Trump’s motivations about Russia are pure, and he simply wants to improve relations to open trade, what really bothers me is his gaslighting public. In a free and open democracy, there should be zero tolerance for propaganda. Absolute zero.

Zelensky was baited into a trap. In order to ensure public support for America’s withdrawal of support to Ukraine, Trump wanted to paint Zelensky as something that he’s not. Sadly, he partially took the bait. Fortunately, he showed remarkable restraint. Much more than I would have.

I wish I could figure out where business owners stood politically. Only once have I found a Trump shrine next to the cash register.

On this doge dividend thing….
Wouldn’t we need a surplus to pay a dividend?
Just because we are (in theory) saving some money, doesn’t mean we magically “have” a bunch of money. It just means we are slightly less bankrupt, right?
Isn’t this more fuzzy math to try to fool the dumb ones?

I’ve noticed a pattern when Trump’s minions are interviewed by someone who asks hard questions. They get super defensive and immediately launch into whataboutisms. Softball questions - no problem. Otherwise, man do they turn into an animal fast.

It often seems like there is a direct relationship between the amount of money somebody has and their willingness to spend it. When you take a step back and think about it this does make sense.

An asteroid has a roughly 2% chance of hitting the earth 7 years from now.
For context, that is roughly the same likelihood as rolling 6, twice in a row on a 6 sided die.
It takes years to create and execute plans for something like this. Dismantling the federal government probably won’t help.
