As we see more of these every year, it makes me wonder if the climate be a-changing a bit...
Nah - Republicans say that is a myth. Like single payer and a progressive tax system. All fake things we should not learn about at all.

North was one of the fall guys for that administration.
Yes, he was part of it and completely guilty, but so were A LOT of others in the administration, including Robert MacFarlane, Caspar Weinberger and John Poindexter. All pardoned by Bush senior.
Corruption in the GOP is not new with Donnie.

We will start seeing more talk about increasing the standard work week from 40 to 50 hours soon as well.
Since we seem to be going back to 2003 for our foreign policy, we might as well pick up the domestic talking points from that era...

Don't worry! Donnie is going to give new mothers $5k to have a kid!
That will cover an afternoon in the maternity ward...

Sorry Steve, but I already was a fan of yours, so I can't offset this loss.

In the coming weeks when grocery prices are through the roof again directly because of this administrations idiotic policies, we can all expect the talking heads to lean into the age-old excuse of...
"Biden's economy"
And the MAGAts will regurgitate the talking point like braindead parrots

It doesn't take long before they start eating their own - Elon is basically done at this point. It is a coin toss whether it is Hegseth or Tulsi, but with tariffs starting to make waves I would not be surprised if Navarro gets thrown under the bus

The fact that the rest of the world has to coddle this 79 year old dumbass makes me embarrassed to be an American.
Seriously World: do not give this manchild special treatment. If he has a tantrum and leaves early, let him publicly make an ass out of himself

What they want is scapegoats and displays. That is it.
Neither one will fix any problem, real or not. It is just to satiate the public and give them the illusion of security and justice, when in reality it is the exact opposite.

More likely the person is full of shit.
Even more likely he thinks his active subscription to Motley Fool is "insider trading".

Columbus also trafficked a lot of those girls back to Europe.
It is not surprising that the same people who think ending slavery is not something we should celebrate in this country simultaneously scream about protecting the reputations of human traffickers

Instead of murdering me in my dreams like his brother, he is going to lecture me about topics he obviously doesn't understand?
I honestly don't know which one is worse...

Elon will quickly take up his role of "temporary government employee" to get Donnie sign an executive order banning Honda from developing rockets. Something something patriotism something something maga

It is 2003 all over again...
Soon we will hear right-wing chuckleheads making proclamations that "Real 'Merican Patriots" support the administration, and everyone else is whatever insane label they need to slap on to silent opposition. And in 15 years the same people will admit it was a blunder

The late Rush Limbaugh was a fanatical anti-education proponent, and that bastard was able to establish a following of fervent "dittoheads".
I lay a lot of the blame for why so many of my fellow Americans take the propaganda bait at his feet, as well as those who have imitated his career path

We need to recognize our mistakes so that we don't repeat them.
Unfortunately, it is contentious discussion as many of our fellow Americans disagree on what the "mistakes" actually were...

War gives them ratings. Ratings gives them ad revenue. Ad revenue gives them profits.
Capitalism corrupts everything, without exception. Always has and always will. No amount of philanthropy will ever exist to counteract it.

Billionaires already hold that title.
Elon Musk is only the richest man in the world BECAUSE of taxpayer money.

Yes, BUT the MAGAts will counter with this:
They are white, so no fraud detected.

The standard GOP voting base has been conditioned for decades to believe two things:
1.) Wealthy people are our moral and intellectual superiors
2.) Government is evil
This makes understanding how outrage over a Tesla dealership being vandalized is worse than an elected official being murdered

Don't worry - the MAGAts and neocons will just blame immigrants and minorities for everything bad that happens as a result of all the bad policies that result in upcoming direct pain on the American populace.
The same song and dance from the GOP since Carter.

The people that tell you that are short-sighted idiots who do not understand that when it comes to fascists, EVERYONE is a target.
You think you are safe because you were a natural born citizen? Think again when it is discovered you do not comport with some other aspect the "Dear Leader" demands

Waiting for Elon to come out and praise all the "learning" they acquired with this latest explosion.
When it is tax dollars Elon gets to burn up on the launch pad, it is in the service of innovation. If he had to spend his own money on this effort, it would be a different story...

I would say we are 40 years past that time, and I want to say better late than never, but the overwhelming damage that has been done just instigates my nihilistic tendencies...

It is the "WMD's" lie all over again.
And let's all not forget: Donnie publicly shamed Jeb Bush for his brother using that excuse to pull us into Iraq over 2 decades ago. Now Donnie is trying to use the same excuse to distract from his failing policies.

I said this months ago after the Zelenskyy debacle in the oval office:
When WWIII starts, the US will be on the wrong side of history. We will be recognized by future historians as establishing a new axis of evil under this presidency.

Of course, but you just described Christianity as well - just change the location and time period.

I believe Mike Lee is also a Mormon - does the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints really want someone so vile associated with them?
(Sadly, they don't care...so much for "Good Christian Values"...)

The fact it took him 6 months to realize the people think he is a joke just reinforces the fact that he is a dipshit.
A despot, yes, as well as a dipshit. A very dangerous combination.

I have heard none of the MAGAts criticize this administration for publicly RAISING the defense budget after campaigning on reducing it.
That overpriced hammer is not getting cheaper - instead now the Pentagon can buy two of them.

One of the biggest eye openers of covid for this country should have easily been how the entire system has been molded to not only keep people in poverty BUT push more and more people below the poverty line. When Labor had a moment of power, the fed was quick to raise interest rates
