Maybe you could credit the poet who wrote that. Like name him?

They will need to install a revolving door at the White House - these "popularity based" appointments are bound to fail.
A hiring policy based on loyalty and arse kissing is never going to end well

If their plan is to trash the country, the government and the economy, he is putting exactly the right loyalist imbeciles into those positions.

If things go pear shaped ,he will blame them quicker than a brides nightie being taken off

Not shocked as the chinese government wont pay for the price rise despite trump saying it will

But here’s the downside of tariffs: They almost always, at least in the immediate future until markets can adjust, make goods more expensivefor the American consumer. Tariffs are not, in fact, paid for by foreign countries. It is the importers, aka the American companies, that pay tariffs. And those companies, universally, end up passing that “tax” onto the consumer in the form of higher prices.

Fact-check: How Trump's China tariff plan could cost the American consumer

Ali Velshi breaks down Trump's China tariff plan and explains how the American consumer will end up footing the bill

For the russian bots walmart is americas largest retailer

It's staggering that these simple Economics 101 realities need to be pointed out

At the end of the day the tariff is a tax
It's simply passed on to the consumer like any tax on goods

I’m starting to believe this whole thing is a plot to depopulate the US based on natural selection of the most stupid ie the cookers will be allowed not to vaccinate. Give it half a generation all the old diseases will be back.

Whether it’s a Russian ploy or the billionaire psychopaths behind Trump I’m not sure.

I think they’re screwed either way.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts selling off US States next.
Anything for a buck.

It's an inevitable bi-product of having a malignant narcissist as POTUS...........

Extras cost extra.

But you do get a lucrative government contract with every 5th guitar purchased.

Faux guy police report for alleged non consensual sex. He claimed it was consensual
He was never charged but paid her money
He never mentioned it to Trumps team before Trump named him for defence secretary.

And caught up in a sexual assault case when at WWE.

Donald doesn't miss much with his appointments.

Luckily he is shutting down the Ed department. Should be a short tenure.

At this stage, you just have to laugh and watch a country unravel.

The thing that hasn't been picked up (that I've seen) is the perfect confluence of the Right's long march since the 1960s, working through changing appointees to institutions, ignoring and re-shaping norms and capturing state seats of power (much of it driven by an ideological obsession with a second-rate order issue: abortion), and Trump's populist rise.

The Right really do play the long game and Project 2025 is the end result. This is their moment and they can re-shape the US forever. The question will be whether they can cement on ongoing autocracy (a la Hungary) or the institutions are strong enough to recover (e.g. Poland).

The centre and left have really been blind to this long game and their naive faith in their norms and institutions is coming back to bite them. The pundits tryin g to rationalise this within their old framework of thinking are as much to blame as anyone. They've been playing by the rules while the right has been playing to win.

Agreed

Important figure in this is Leonard Leo.
Worth a look into.

A few good ones out there, this was one I saw

Gaetz injured

What a surprise

Who would have thought butthead wouldn’t survive a senate confirmation

 

[Satan]

So will he replace Rubio in the senate.?
I remember that when the story broke years ago he always denied having sex with a minor . Alina for the new AG ?

 

[darrenmorgan]

There’s no way the report won’t leak.

Will the Doj revisit the case ?
Like many cases of this nature they would be fearful of witnesses not holding up in court to a pitbull defence lawyer.

The faux defence bloke should be next to be investigated . All this potential criminality and other issue's
makes you a mark for blackmail

in point: Nancy Killefer, named by President Barack Obama to the newly created position of chief performance officer – her name not even inked formally for confirmation – bowed out of the job for failing to pay local unemployment taxes for her nanny.

Did trump name all these dodgy people hoping gaetz issue would smother others issues ?

Good riddance Gaetz. Fancy nominating an alleged pedophile as AG.

 

[Satan]

Will Trump release this J6 thug

Jan. 6 rioter is convicted of plotting to murder FBI agents who investigated him

Edward Kelley, a Donald Trump supporter and anti-abortion extremist, was among the first rioters to breach the U.S. Capitol.

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)

I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all...

The majority of the suspect characters are in the red team. Interesting.

He was never going to be confirmed by the senate anyway but still a tasty outcome.
