And reminder activists have told women time and time again, transphobia is also going to be used to hurt women as usual which is what that act also does in an attempt to disenfranchise from voting o would look at that. Per usual leftists were correct
I think it was Channel 4 at a Trump rally and some woman in her 50s/60s that was overweight and a huge maga was saying she liked him because he reminded her of Reagan and life was so much better under Reagan and she wants to go back to that. I really wish Andrew Callaghan would have pointed out that her life seemed so much better because she was probably a healthy teenager who had 0 life responsibilities.
We can say that about a lot of shit. Dems keep losing chasing the suburban soccer moms every four years and never carving shit out for their longtime voters. It’s why we’re where we are. Chasing the almighty whiteys.
Americans are going to have their avg life span decrease to pre Reagan 1980 levels (74 years or younger) after Trump is finished. Truly a remarkable achievement by Republicans when every other Country in the world is increasing.
Also those guys who went after Trump we’re going after the wrong person, hope musk understands the game he’s playing…
I hope Nancy Mace did not get assaulted / raped I hope she is run over by a train today as the world would be a better place
It seems like a poorly (intentionally) written voter ID act. I haven't seen anyone link it to trans related issues...but can see that thought
Honestly I thought the narrative of people like Mattis and Tillerson restraining Trump was bullshit at the time, but that seems pretty wrong in hindsight And somehow he appears to be more focused 8 years later, albeit on just transparently criminal endeavors
This is so fucking weird man. His human shield is on his shoulders while he’s describing all the bullshit he’s doing to our government and the reporters are all chuckling about his antics. But its a real President Musk type situation, obviously.
This and Vietnam lintervention are why we are what we are. Won’t be a government left after this term
He’s a real life Bond villain. Listening to an unelected billionaire laugh about stopping condoms being sent to a country fighting HIV is disgraceful.
Disagree he's focused, he just has people around him who were prepared to take full advantage of the opportunity and don't give a single fuck about the government
This. the only thing Trump is focused on is lining his pockets. He doesn't care what the rest of the cabinet does as long as it doesn't impede him making money
He didn't know what he could get away with the first time. With the SC immunity ruling, a compliant congress, and a billionaire toadie to dismantle the govt, he knows he can get away with anything.
Jan 6 above anything, IMO. His beer hall putsch. If we learned anything from modern history, oughtta be that you kill fascists, without hesitation, when they present.
I don't think anything he's doing is different. He's saying the same brain rotten shit and lining his pockets.
It seems VERY different man. First term was just anticipated infrastructure weeks and a laughable ACA battle. He’s already done a LOT more damage already in term two, not sure how that can be debated.
The man isn't different, the infrastructure is. He was farming everything out back then as he is now, it's just that there was years of organization by more serious goons this time
It definitely taught him that once you capture one of the two parties in a two-party system that you'll never really face any consequences It's pretty alarming how quickly and completely he did it though
I've said it before but I would never vote for someone like Mitt Romney. My politics are what they are and I would never support a private equity guy. But I wasn't worried about him trying to kill the rule of law. That feels like a really long time ago
Like every other jam he gets in, he just ran out the clock, with quite a bit of help from Garland. If the Ds can't call every R a traitor at that point, they never will. Traitors for voting to nullify state ballots with no evidence and for not voting to convict during impeachment.
It's not him, it's the people around him. First term he had people with some shred of integrity. Now it's the heritage foundation psychos and morons so people like Elon can run around unchecked.
the GOP kowtowing to a south african billionaire who spends most of his time on the internet shows they are a party with no compass, guidance, or policy goals outside of winning. Whatever that even means.
I certainly hope the Democrats believe that their stance on funding and enabling a genocide is why they lost.
Him using his fucking toddler as a meat shield pisses me off so much. Doubt he even knew that kids name until Luigi happened.
whats the point? It’s worth salvaging imo. It has always fallen short of its goals. Someone would do the great power shit if we didn’t. Few nations have clean hands.
Guys like Elon and Trump just want power and the Christian Nationalists need their popularity to get what they want. They are basically just blood sucking off at each other at this point. Trump needs there votes and they need his power to get their policies and way.
I don’t feel any different than I always have. I’ve always felt like an outsider. I’ve been subjected to racism in the past. So far there isn’t anything different that has happened to me. So no I can’t say I “hate” this country any more or less than I always have. It’s the only country I know so if I was to be honest I’d say I feel sad about it. I believe that we might really be at a crossroads and we might never be the same after this administration.
we may be fast approaching the turning point of dump transitioning back to the worst version of proud boy dump
