Justice and Fairness don't exist in the universe. But the beauty of being Human is that we can conceive of these things and create them in our world.

How many promises and threats did Trump make to ensure that Bukele would keep the guy?

Republican Jesus made his vast personal fortune through the sale of bread, fish and wine, due to his low overhead.
He didn't have to drive away the other vendors after making an example of a few of them.

And now, when the full measure of the policies you've long demanded are coming crashing down on you personally, you're angry at liberals for saying 'I told you so' and 'FAFO' when you should be looking at yourself and asking if being a hate filled troll actually improves your life.

And get pardoned by the President who is elected to clean up the mess and repair the USA after Trump destroys us all.

40+ years of waging cultural warfare against their fellow Americans. Of spending their days listening to hate and misinformation designed to divide the nation.
Now the nation is experiencing what they spent all that time preaching was their end goal, and it ain't working how they thought it would.

The problem here, folks on the right, is that you've waged war on half the country for 50 years, preached that hate is fun and normal, that empathy is weakness, that liberalism is a disease.
Your media teaches you to be angry, hate filled assholes, and tells you that is right and proper.

The other Minnesota newspaper has an opinion piece on "The dangerous consequences of radical empathy unchecked by reason".
Which is just more of the same hypocritical crap we got from Elmo. "Empathy is weakness! But hey, why don't you have any empathy toward ME??"

That's the entire, long spoken of plan.
Impose tariffs.
Eliminate all income and capital gains taxes.
The wealthy get their taxes reduced to almost nothing.
The poor and middle class get saddled with a huge moment of inflation effectively destroying us all.

No, they don't. That's a centerpoint of Trump Republicanism. To be absolutely, unapologetically shameless. Make no apologies. Fuck how anyone else feels.

Just posted about this recently.
When Japanese cars were making big inroads in the 70's, US auto companies responded not with better cars, but with lobbying for Protectionism.
While their bloated marketing departments insisted that polls showed that Americans wanted their cars.

The media that tells them everything told them that Musk was like, the smartest guy ever, and he would help guide this nation to Mars and the future.
Then that media insisted that he was uncovering all of this waste and corruption and people were only against him because they were corrupt.

Capitalist Edition
Company decides it needs to charge $2.10 to maintain the same profit margin (as percent of transaction).

He's completing the transition they've long planned.
The end of Income and Capital Gains taxes.
All replaced by Tariffs.
We at the bottom get instant inflation overwhelming the money we get from not paying income taxes. Millions instantly poor.
The rich end up paying almost no taxes.

Since Trump's goal is to eliminate income taxes and replace them with tariffs, that would just be the perfect excuse for him to ram that through.
So sure, you don't pay income taxes, your paycheck goes up, and the price of everything goes up by 20-50%. Who do you think wins that scenario?

Why aren't you and the other Democratic Senators doing everything you can do block or delay every bill, putting holds on every nominee, doing everything you can to slow or stop this march to dictatorship?
Where is the opposition?

Where are the Democrats speaking up on this?

I'm waiting for China and perhaps other nations to announce a complete economic embargo of the USA until either the tariffs are removed, or Donald Trump is removed.
