Welcome to MAGA
Such a perfect cult
Here we have some rules
No ifs, ands, or buts.
Worship Trump,
Believe his lies
And we'll get along fine.
MAGA is a perfect cult.
Please ignore that he's crass,
Buy his merch, kiss his ass.
MAGA is .. MAGA is ..
MAGA is a perfect cult!

As soon as he pardoned ALL the Jan 6 insurrectionists, he made it loud and clear .. if I think you're on my side crime is not a problem.

No, because his tariffs are not about bring jobs back or getting better deals, they are all about creating chaos and weakening the economy .. so that when the time comes and people protest .. he can declare an "emergency" and suspend elections.
It was never about negotiations.

Hope Tapper is happy with the money he got from the book .. because hawking it on CNN when Biden was just diagnosed with cancer was a real bad look and for my part I have lost a lot of respect for him as a news caster.

Musk achieved his goals .. he paid into trump's reelection campaign to gain insider access to the gvt to get investigations and lawsuits against him and his companied dismissed.
It was never about doing anything FOR the gvt or the federal budget.

For Musk, these deaths are acceptable collateral damage to distract from the fact he got investigations and lawsuits against him and his companies dismissed.

Agreed, the damage done will take a long time to revert, in some cases the damage is permanent.
A petulant child throwing a tantrum that ripples across the globe, not to improve anything, except the money in his pocket.

How? Stupid? Gullible? Jealous?
Nope, it's simple .. they think they are on the "winning" side.

How can they be stopped? Short of a filibuster they have the votes and Trump will sign it ..
Voters who don't understand the ramifications of keeping a balanced legislature open themselves up to this.
The GOP published Project 2025 and people basically (unknowingly?) voted for it.

Jennings is not a correspondent; he is a Trump sycophant and nothing more .. when he shows up on a panel, I turn off CNN.
I appreciate hearing from both sides but Jennings just spouts Trumpism ..

The rich donor wanted something for their money, so the GOP caved to Trump and are willing to sacrifice the next couple decades to pay back to their donors.
Money talks .. unfortunately too loudly in our government.
we are just cogs in the GOP money making machine,

Tapper could have reported the information as news instead of capitalizing on it for a book .. or delayed the release by a week so as to given Biden some room after the cancel diagnosis.
But no .. book had to be hawked, on CNN no less.
Lost a lot of respect for Tapper after this ..

Apple has already done the damage in China .. John Stewart interviewed the author of "Apple in China" and Apple set China up with the technology and know-how to build those phones .. but also to build better tech, better weapons, etc ..
Apple cut our throats, at best unknowingly.

The confusion is that the GOP and "health" care system care about us civilians .. they don't .. we are just worker bees to be worked and denied until we die .. as there will be more worker bees behind us to take our place.
We are not valued constituents; we are just numbers.

Not a good look for Tapper hawking his book on CNN while the news of Biden's cancer diagnosis is still new.
Couldn't Tapper delay the book release and his hawking tour a week out of some respect?
Don't want to hear Tapper bemoaning Trump hawking his crap anymore..

Without the majority .. realistically what can they do? Filibuster?
Even if Americans took to the streets, the Senate GOP will just vote overnight to pass it, take their money and retire when they don't get reelected.

I put my 401k all into bonds when Trump won his first term .. retired in the meantime and have left them there.
Apparently nothing is safe from the "Art of the deal" :(

The recession and the harm his policies are causing stateside and around the world will be felt for decades.
We will remember who cashed in on the back of those less fortunate.

I appreciate it when networks being in people from both sides of the aisle etc .. but Jennings is a MAGA hack who won't say 1 thing against Trump to stay in his good "graces".
Anytime Jennings in on the panel, I turn off CNN.

Will the 1AM vote be televised anywhere? Either way lets organize a watch party so they know they can't slipthis thru in the middle of the night ..

We are not citizens to be cherished, we are worker bots to be enslaved, impoverished, and exploited.
The oligarchy does not have a heart, just a bottom line.

"An empire toppled by its enemies can rise again. But one which crumbles from within? That's dead. Forever."
This is what we are facing .. after the "big beautiful bill" passes and people will lose jobs, health care, or the ability to pay bills, protests will rise, and he'll declare an emergency.

As long as he can still rant, he's the GOP's puppet .. shovel fake praise at him and he'll do what you whisper in his ear.

Trump's playbook .. accuse others of what HE is doing .. "Biden crime family" is a prime example ..

Getting the money out will be near impossible .. many on both sides enjoy that $$$ injection.
But even if they pass laws to put in guardrails to codify what was taken for granted .. the current conservative supreme court seems bent on giving the Prez (or at least Trump) too much unchecked power.

Trump is such a whiny bitch child .. they want to persecute Comey for putting 8647 in the sand yet Trump makes veiled threats to Bruce for when he returns and that's OK ..

I like the fact CNN brings in people from both sides of the aisle, but Scott Jennings is such a MAGA sycophant he never has anything negative to say about the current administration to the point of being delusional.
I turn off CNN when he is on it.

And the Supreme court is about to tule in Trump's favor on birthright citizenship/judges injunctions to further enable his control of power.
Democracy dies by a thousand cuts.
