Agreed. The constant drumbeat of 'government sucks, starve it and shut it all down' - amplified by conservative stalwarts + Fox tabloid TV - resulted in what they wanted, right?
The elevation of a true wreck-it-all personality, and vacuum of sychophants to help him crush our republic.

The MAGA movement just basically redubs all Trump appearances so that they don't hear the craziness. It's the way they deal with cognitive dissonance, and that won't change.

4/ As usual, Republicans are trying to put male politicians in charge of women's bodies. A hidden provision in the bill bans nonprofits who provide family planning and reproductive health care from receiving federal funds. www.notus.org/congress/pla...

Drumpf's MO was always punching up his debt - and then walking away. What kind of disaster is it for the USA when we default??? 🤔

I've never tuned in to the 'manosphere' but the points made in this interview were solid, re: which voters and why peeled away from basic democracy / decency... 🤔

Per Fareed Zakaria, DOGE could find $4.5 TRILLION today by simply allowing the Trump tax cuts to expire (and go back to that terrible Obama economy).
