One of the principal political/cultural failings of this era is how many ppl & groups across the political spectrum there are that have just outright refused to deal with Trump as he actually exists vs the Trump they made up in their heads

the thing about the stephen smith running for president thing is democratic primary voters aren't stupid enough to vote for someone with no political experience

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Weird fash nerds running around inside the federal government twiddling knobs and flipping switches and going "what does this one do?" Getting big blobs of jelly on everything. Somehow no one is telling them to fuck off. Cards on the table I don't really care for any of this!

A very fun detail that some future narrative historian will love was how the US media considered “democracy” one of several competing issues in the 2024 election, far less important than inflation and on a par with abortion and “the border.”

This is the difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2. First time around, all his cronies were named stuff like Joey Macaroni and wanted to commit tax fraud and go on Dancing With The Stars. This time, they have names like John Hitlerfuhrer and have spent the last 15 years blogging about phrenology.
