The thing that's been so aggravating about Trump -- has been visible, in fact, since a year into his first term -- is that he's a paper tiger. Appease him and he'll try to take everything from you. Punch him in the face, and he folds, because he fundamentally only respects strength
Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect.
I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Trump drops the demeaning "governor" stuff and calls Carney by his correct title

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions.
In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment.
Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

Muskrat sure must admire Harry S, but in a twisted way. Because it sure does appear that all DOGE is doing is redirecting government contracts to Muskman companies.

People regretting their vote last November forget what it was they were voting for. None of it was kept secret. It was all out there, in the open, when I first posted this last October.
