Watching Trump massively expand the federal government in a party that constantly berates the government for being too federalized is a level of irony I find quite enjoyable.

American fascism is turning out to be incredibly boring and underwhelming. Like a bad sequel.
This whole DC fiasco just makes our armed forces look like goobers.

Social security and Medicare are not “retiring with grace and dignity”. They are the bare minimum entitlements of a society you’ve worked in for 60+ years, and they’re lousy at that, and they were just made worse.
Can you go big just ONCE in your career? At all?

Seems to be the sign of declining empire to go to war with either Russia or Persia.

Hot take: Pete Buttigieg is too nice.
I love every conversation I see him in, but he’s not the person for the job he’s aspiring for. He needs to be more vicious.

Is it a good sign for the stock market to be flatlining? Asking for a friend.

The first journalist to ask “So let me get this straight, it’s more important for the Pentagon to get another 2 trillion dollar airplane than it is to put food on American families’ tables?” should win a Pulitzer. The bar is in hell.

“If you take out the stuff I did, the economy is doing really well actually” is not the slam dunk argument Trump seems to think it is.

I just wish media would start framing their questions more aggressively. They’re not deportations, without a trial they are illegal kidnappings.
They’re not “doge funding cuts”, they’re illegally withholding allocated taxpayer funds.
They’re not “doge layoffs”, they’re illegal terminations.

The first Democrat to start calling Trump an idiot, a r*pist, and a felon will be the most popular candidate in the party. Quit being so damn nice and grow a pair.

What’s the obsession with manufacturing jobs anyways? Why would anyone want to do backbreaking work over sitting in an air conditioned office?

What Trump’s tariffs are doing the economy feels like a setback, like we’re going back to 0.. greatly.. kinda like a.. Great Reset.. 🥴

After this tariff move, if Trump isn’t found mysteriously shot by himself in the back of the head 10 times, I will never believe any conspiracy theory about anything ever again.

I see a lot of talk about Trump “distracting” people, but honestly, I think he’s just incompetent, y’all. Nothing deeper to it.

It’s wild how the texts that were released read so much like my political debates with my friends when I was 16.
“Tired of European freeloading” is crazy work.

I feel like not enough people are speaking to the reality of the deportation of green card holders. This wasn’t just a free speech issue, this was a due process issue. We’re not even back to like medieval Europe with that, this is straight up “before we invented laws” stuff. No court case? Really?

It’s really funny to me that I’ve privately made the analogy of Trump being a used car salesman, and then he actually does a car salesman routine on the White House lawn. Clown world.

Sometimes it feels like Trump heard about deflation as the opposite of inflation and thought “That’s how we’ll get prices down! Why didn’t anyone think of it!”

So how long of a stock market decline does it need to be before Trump not doing anything about it becomes his fault? A month? After the recession? After a depression? What’s the timeline on this?

If DOGE was really about waste, fraud, and abuse, Elon Musk would tell Trump to get rid of daylight savings time. That’s how you know it’s all fake.

Democrats are a pathetic bunch of losers. Watching them hold up their stupid little signs makes me want to vomit. I’m actually getting radicalized by their complete lack of effort.
