I’m wondering about the defunding of public schools (!?!?!!), and all the parents’ shock. We’ll see how this plays out. My hope is the midterms will be free and fair. We’ll see about that as well. Using fears and alarms immigration as dynamite works well to keep their voters.
77 million voted for him, about the same number who have never owned a passport in their lives, and don't give a hoot about anything that doesn't happen outside their own 4 walls. The only winner here is China. The US is in total freefall.
hey gray lady, "NOW a warning?"
why wasn't the nyt doing everything in its power to extinguish that fool? especially after the ad against the Exonerated Four
I’m sorry this is silly, the Times editorial team put a full page out saying Trump is a threat to democracy, and routinely occupied the editorial page on the run up to the election with articles on how dangerous he was to democracy. It is a ridiculous to suggest that the times is responsible for him
And his win. Criticism of Kamala Harris and the campaign (which by the way i participated in and can attest to it being a shitshow) is not an endorsement of Trump, nor is pointing out that Biden who was obviously unwell and not fit to serve 4 more years.
This is what they wanted it all along. they downplay his shit, help get him elected and only then go with “Trump is a danger to the county” to get those sweet sweet anxiety clicks
Musk to take the influence he bought to increase his wealth, stripping the US for parts & turning it into an engine for his wealth-- then going after other vulnerable countries in the same way.
So sadly true BUT DONT FORGET #RESIST. Together we are stronger than those whose goal is to destroy ordinary everyday people (US)! #RESIST in every way you can.
Unless of course , it all implodes.
Trump is so busy tilting against windmills , he’s taking his eye off the domestic ball.
Doesn’t it depend on how far the American public will let him go ?
They are expecting a new Jerusalem; not unemployment , no social security & rampant food inflation .
Wait, is the recession referenced here the one that was supposed to happen after COVID that the government/federal reserve made massive new policy actions to prevent? Are they actually playing the "why didn't this thing people worked hard to stop happen" card here?
It’s from January’23. I always took it as political (Biden was supposed to have a recession and something went wrong). But yeah they took their sweet old time to adjust the interest rates to the new reality. Over a year!
In my opinion you are being optimistic . The orange threat is and has been talking about a third term. He has already taken steps to control the federal election commission . If he gets one full year we will be under his rule until we die or overthrow a tyrant .
they just need to reposition themselves back to being "the mainstream media that unfairly hates trump" to get people pissed into supporting him more, we've been through this already
Yes, but the wealthy are going to get the massive tax cuts that they purchased through their unlimited campaign donations to the MAGA Republican Party. Elon, so far, has only paid $270 million-that we know of-to own convicted felon tRump.
Especially protect institutions with housing establishments: colleges, universities, hospitals. These are necessary for work camps. To mine. To fell forests. To drill pipelines. They have many interconnections with these institutions and will shut them down to repurpose as savings in pillaging costs
Also expect the takeover of the military leadership by MAGA supporters, takeover of the DIJ,FBI,CIA leaderships by MAGA to prevent those institutions from acting to preserve democracy when the inevitable happens in 4 years time.
I love that nobody who gets to publish things in places like The Paper Of Record (sic) can stop framing what's happening as TFG's "second term" and acting like we get another shot with someone different in four years
Yeah, I don’t think we will be having another election any time in the foreseeable future. Let me correct that: we will probably have an “election” but the winner has already been decided.
It will all be v Russian. “How did those ballots get in there when we haven’t even opened the doors to let voters in yet?”
“Never you mind, they’re definitely legit!”

I'm down with both your politics ... and your band.
And I thought that was fiction, not documentary.

"dramatically reimagining presidential power."
Now I know.
Fun times to be alive (for now)
Allow for and work toward our best.
Wasn’t it good back in the day, before it declined into so much fishwrap?
