This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders. This won’t end well for our country.

Shakedown politics: obey or I end you

He’s setting us all up for the funniest possible ending.

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

25-year-old Marko Elez has been reinstated in the Trump administration and given an EOP email address, per source, as Musk had said would happen Elez left Treasury after the WSJ reported that he had tweeted last year: "Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool"

This is fucking incredible.

I get we're all numb to this but another way of looking at Trump pushing 25% auto tariffs is the world's richest auto executive trying to ban much of his competition

The party of free speech!

These fuckers. “I love that you’re hurting other people, but please don’t hurt me and mine!”

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

We have reached North Korean levels of sycophantry. From NY-24’s Claudia Tenney 👇 tenney.house.gov/media/press-...

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

It should go without saying, but perhaps not: Removing uncomfortable histories because they fail to glorify the dominant group in power is not the sign of a healthy and free society.

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)
