MAGA does love their cosplay.

Cristi Noem today in my home state of AZ. The Queen of the photo op. Yeah, that’s what we need.

This is what an education from Trump University will get you; a complete misunderstanding on how basic economics works.

The sad thing is his MAGA followers will take this as fact and how things work.
This is nonsense

I miss the days of having an intelligent president. Idiocracy is now our reality.
This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.
Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.

I wonder how much the tech bro has to gain from this one?

Nothing wrong here at all, right?

As authoritarian as you can get. There would be no coming back from this.
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

They don’t care about you. This is all that matters.
Listen to Elon. What a joke we have become.
Our president sells cars now.
Did you vote for that?

By all means, keep exploiting a kid to prove, what again?

By saying “illegal protest” he clearly means any protest against him. Yeah, this is perfectly normal. For a dictatorship.

Rubio has now officially reached full cuck status.
The one guy that was supposed to be the adult in the room has capitulated to the wrong side of history.
We are now one of the bad guys. Awesome.

Can we trade Trump for Zelenskyy? Americans supposedly like strength in their leaders. Well, Zelenskyy has shown more strength in leadership than Trump could ever fantasize about. Being a bully doesn’t equal strength.

Isn’t it awesome that one of the worst human beings in the world is also our president? Good times.
