My next car was absolutely going to be a Tesla. That changed. Multiply me by millions of green-minded, tech enthusiasts. That's what Tesla could have been.

Reagan framed welfare "fraud" as a Black problem, but a plurality of welfare recipients are and have always been non-Hispanic Whites (today it's ~45%). And the racist rhetoric ended up hurting them, too. So, even if most Social Security recipients are White, that won't necessarily save the program.

What is the Trump Administration doing to curb drug addiction here to lower demand? Nothing, of course.
An estimated 1% of fentanyl comes from Canada. Blaming others for our problems, fake concern for working class problems, incompetence are all on brand for Trump. This is but one more example.

What is #Trump doing to reduce demand in the US? Nothing of course. Blaming others for our problems is so on brand for MAGA. Incompetent, ineffective, and irresponsible.

The man who made millions peddling worthless SPACs to investors fits right in with grifter-in-chief Trump.

Trump and Vance have no policies or plans to lower prices. Trump's main economic policies, tax cuts for the rich and tariffs, are, in fact, inflationary. The massive and reckless layoffs DOGE is undertaking will lower wages pressures and lower demand for basics like food, but, sadly, that's it.

Notice how quick MAGA is to blame Canada and Mexico. How about we clean up our own mess? Where's MAGA's plan to stop rampant US narcotics demand? They don't have one, just like they don't have one for lowering food prices or doing anything to help 90% of Americans, including most MAGA supporters.

Incompetence was a defining feature of Trump 1.0. That’s it’s the same for Trump 2.0 is not a surprise.

Agreed as well as the five million Biden voters who didn’t support Harris.

As we know, gratuitous cruelty is a defining feature of the Trump administration. It is gleefully and self-righteously meted out by his minions.

The data is clear and consistent over time: immigrants commit crimes at one-half to one-third the rate of native-born citizens.

How about single parents who are working two or three jobs to take care of their families? But if you mean accomplished things that are cruel, corrupt, and undermine our economy, clean air and water, and our nation, then you have a point.

Insert "immigrant" and you have Amerika today:
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." --Lyndon Johnson

Except it's just another lie and pretext for him to pervert FEMA into his tool to punish political opponents and reward supporters.

Mike Johnson headed MAGA's House strategy to block certification of the 2020 election. A decent person in his position would be chagrined and maybe a bit ashamed today. He's not one.
