Did you know? The word “trumpery” appeared in the 15th century with the meanings “deceit” or “fraud”. 100 years later, it was being applied to objects of little or no value. Then in the 1900’s, it came to mean “showy but worthless”. — Today, it is equated with “fascist shit”.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

Americans tend to equate someone having money with someone having ability. Perhaps, watching idiots like Donald Trump and Elon Musk ruin everything will dispel that superficial assumption. People get money for all kinds of reasons, some legal, that have nothing to do with ability. #RichFathers

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

Basically, the country’s been taken over by a bunch of internet trolls and podcasters who thought running the government would be as easy as complaining about it.

People who think removing DEI in universities leads to meritocracies, are too stupid to get into universities on the merits.

Rescinding the cap on insulin at $35 only makes pharmaceutical richer and everyday Americans, including MAGA voters, seriously poorer. So why does Trump do it? Because all he wants is to destroy anything Biden achieved, no matter how much damage it causes. That what sociopathy looks like.

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

Who gets the benefit of the doubt?A teenager tagged by cops as a gang member b/c he shops at a particular bodega or wears the wrong color? A Black man the NYPD decides is “furtively walking”?
