So… Obama’s state dept used a time machine to put him into office three years after Obama’s term ended?

Seriously, are you that much of an idiot or are you hoping that we are?

Oh absolutely. Filing false financial information in order to inflate value is one of his specialties.

Just a reminder that before he even took office, Trump tried to strongarm Congress into increasing the debt ceiling.

There has never been any intention to actually save any money. That was and is a blatant and obvious lie, as evidenced by the simple and undeniable fact that Trump has already signaled his clear intention to not only increase spending, but to increase it even more than Congress was willing to go along with.

So of course the “receipts” don’t add up - they’re part of the lie.

So… seriously, the Democrats are not even going to try to stop the Republicans who are actively overthrowing the government, but are instead just going to try to make them look bad enough that they can hopefully gain some seats in 2026 running as “not the Republicans?”

Well, then here’s the definitive answer to the recurring question of “will the Democrats learn anything from 2024?”

No. No they won’t.

No surprise there.

A great many Americans are angry and stupid, so even the obvious harm Trump and Musk are doing is fine by them, because they actually enjoy seeing other people suffer.

They’ll only potentially care when the whole process shakes out far enough that they themselves are suffering, and even then there’s a good chance that they’ll be unable/unwilling to assign the blame where it so obviously belongs.

No civilization has ever collapsed without the active support of a deluded public all the way down.

Not personally and directly, no, but broadly, yes - I do know the irreversible damage they’re doing.

And here’s the real key to it all - none of it is accidental. The damage is the point.

Their goal is actually very simple - it’s to utterly destroy every aspect of the government that benefits the common people or inconveniences the wealthiest few, in order to convert it explicitly and entirely into a mechanism for protecting and expanding the privilege of the wealthiest few at the expense of everyone else.
