Does everyone remember during Trump’s first presidency, President Xi had just made himself president for life. Trump brought this up at a rally and said “maybe we should try that” and the crowd cheered. It was never a joke. Everything he says is testing the waters to see what reaction he’ll get. Now there’s a group trying to get him elected to a 3rd term. I think a Republican congressman or two is also pushing for this.

THE FOOD INDUSTRY HAS SPENT BILLIONS ON TRANS FATS!!! THEY ARE WOKE!!!

He actually thinks companies can say “hey, let’s move all our shit to the US!” and they can snap their fingers and they’re instantly here. Like they don’t have to buy land, build factories, setup supply chains and work out logistics that would take a long time to do. Fucking moron.

Dumbass didn’t learn from the Foxconn shit in Wisconsin lol

The sad part about this is the GOP made a big deal about releasing these files redacted. You can find all this stuff online UNredacted. They even invited conservative influencers to the WH and gave them binders with this stuff. They posed for pictures and all posted the same script about this being the most transparent administration in history, blah blah blah (just like how Sinclair Broadcasting gave all their affiliates the same script and had local news anchors read it on air). There was really nothing to see here, but of course the administration made a big deal out of it because they know their supports are big fucking idiots and swallow what ever they get fed.

The EU policy secretary (I don’t remember the exact position) said after that meeting that the free world needs a new leader and she hopes Europe is up for the challenge.

Russia will finally destroy the US. And it’ll be done by our own politicians.

Why has the entire staff of the WaPo not walked out? With this, it’s solidifying itself as a right wing publication.

“You are free to say what you want and express your opinion. Just not publicly or privately, or thinking it to yourself.”

Do they really need a team of people to post the same thing to X, Mastodon, BkueSky, etc? I’m honestly surprised they don’t have some bot to make all the posts for them to those services. Sounds like a cop out to me.

Don’t worry, he’ll just give Musk another $50 million government contract to redo them. And by “redo”, I mean turn them back on.

Since the GOP controls Congress, could they amend the Constitution to give Trump specifically, absolute power? Like they basically say Trump is no longer subject to checks and balances?

They’ll replace it with “End DEI”.

Didn’t this already happen in Florida when DeSantis tried to get rid of immigrants and all the farmers there lost their shit over losing their work force?

Republicans will never accept another election if a Democrat wins. This is our future, where every election they lose is contested. That is, if we have another election. I think we’re heading to a pseudo democracy like Russia, where they can vote but Putin always wins in a landslide.

Musk does so much shit. He’s the CEO of 3 companies, he’s apparently a gaming streamer now, he’s a presidential advisor and will have an office at the White House, he constantly tweets bullshit. When does he sleep or take time to be a father to all his kids from 2 or 3 different mothers?

I have a paid Proton account but never fully switched from Google services. I guess that’s a silver lining.

Welllll Tim Cook did personally donate $1M to Trump’s inauguration fund…

Trump made a lot of threats about shutting down news outlets and broadcasters because “they were mean to him.” They are now playing up to him and his bullshit because they don’t want him to act on it. The fact they’re doing this shows they have no confidence in any regulatory agencies or congress to stop him because Republicans control everything and will do Trump’s bidding. They’re just trying to stay in business and will play his dumb game, even though this will help make the country worse. I wouldn’t be surprised that after this term, just about every news outlet is like Fox News. Yes, that’s an outlandish statement, but with how things are looking and will eventually go, it’s still within the realm of possibility. That realm has expanded exponentially.

“Keeping the Rich rich and the Poor poor since forever.”

Right wingers haven’t cared about the truth for decades. It’s just now they don’t care whether we know it or not. Just think back to Trump’s first term and “alternate truths” and all that. They don’t care anymore. They believe what they want to believe, and no amount of facts or reasoning is going to change it.

But yes, everyone lies. Some people just more than others and some will lie to your face with a smirk on their face knowing damn well you know they’re lying.
