Trump's Second Term

[Safe-Keeper]

Hassett: "It was correct for Jeff Bezos to apologize and correct the record. Amazon -- whoever did it made a big mistake. I wonder if they'll have a job tomorrow."

Guess it was too good to be true. Dunno how I could actually think this'd be something Amazon would do.

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here."

I think some of the Southern states used to have something a bit like this, didn't they?

Insane

Trump: "We're gonna call it the Golden Dome. We had the Iron Dome. But somehow, Gretchen, Golden Dome sounds better to me. I don't know. Maybe it's not. What do you like better -- Golden Dome or Iron Dome? Let's have a vote. Golden Dome. Oh no, I think we're in trouble."

Trump begins his rally in Michigan by lying that he won the state three times (he in fact lost in 2020)

So who else is perfectly fine with Dump stepping down and becoming the next pope over in Rome?

i'm more fine with him stepping down into a pit full of snakes

Trump: "There's my friend -- Blacks for Trump. I like that guy. He follows me ... everybody thinks I pay you a fortune. I don't even know who the hell he is."

 

[Safe-Keeper]

If it wasn't for how snakes would get horribly sick from consuming Dump, I'd be fine with him stepping into a pit of green anacondas.

Trump: "There's my friend -- Blacks for Trump. I like that guy. He follows me ... everybody thinks I pay you a fortune. I don't even know who the hell he is."

I suppose the cultists are frantically trying to reassure each others he is just trolling.

Trump : This was the best first hundred days in the history of our great nation… many people are saying it.

Cue whoops, hollers, mass hysteria, & chants of USA USA USA from the MAGA crowd in Detroit Michigan who are actually swallowing his lie that his tariffs will allow him to abolish taxes

I'd like to say (and believe) that that's a joke, but, sadly, the GOP has devolved to the point where it's almost impossible to tell, and the distinction between "serious" and "joking" isn't a meaningful one anyway- they don't act any better than they joke.

Yes, they are completely serious.

But remember

it's not a cult!

Yeah, forget "trickle-down" economics, the GOP is pretty blatantly moving to "stay in your lane" economics.

I've asked myself the same question countless times and I've come to the conclusion the answer is no. They're a cult. They're unable to feel embarrassement or shame for being devoted to Daddy Dump. To everyone outside the cult, of course, they're completely insane.

Harvard caved.

Hours after Harvard University faced the Trump administration in court for the first time in its push to restore more than $2 billion in blocked federal funding, the nation’s oldest and wealthiest college made a symbolic bow to White House demands, renaming its diversity, equity and inclusion office.

The change was announced Monday in an email to the campus community from the head of what had been the Office for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging. It nods to a sweeping effort by President Donald Trump to eliminate DEI practices – designed to advance racial, gender, class and other representation in public spaces – he decries as “illegal and immoral discrimination.”

“We must sharpen our focus on fostering connections across difference, creating spaces for dialogue, and cultivating a culture of belonging – not as an abstract ideal, but as a lived experience for all,” Harvard’s Sherri Ann Charleston wrote. “To capture this emphasis and this mission, our office will become Community and Campus Life, effective immediately.

Of course they did.

If they hadn't then Donald would have ramped things up and destroyed them.

it's what fascist dictators do.

Spell what? "Pope"? "It"?

Yup, he probably thinks it's a religion that worships alcoholic cats.
