The worse, the better. Only then will his followers turn on Trump.

A defining trait of most of Trump's Cabinet and other appointees: none had the integrity to say, 'Thank you, Mr. President—but I'm not qualified for this position."
Marco Rubio has the look of someone who has just suffered a beating before every media appearance.

You could have started with Pete Hegseth...
I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.
He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.
Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.
So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Most people, no matter how much they disagree, would find a way to divide a $4 billion pot in ways to make everyone happy. Political gamesmanship has prevented bipartisan progress in the Assembly and ...

I hope you’ll take a second to read this:
The government is easy to shit on. Even good, stable governments like ours, bc most people don’t understand that government is essential to human survival and there is always some level of incompetence/corruption to exploit.

"The worse, the better," a phrase linked to Lenin, suggests worsening conditions can spark change. This idea could apply to the Trump administration, where political or social decline might fuel resistance, including his disillusioned supporters demanding transformation.

If you are beginning a social media post with "Elon Musk is right" as Musk is literally part of the incoming administration and randomly threatening to prosecute Americans for opposing Trump, then you would be better off saying nothing at all. Yes, I'm talking about Bernie Sanders.
