    I was listening to a podcast (Professional Left) and they played a clip of some caller who was saying the country voted for donvict because they wanted him to ignore the Constitution in order to deal with the emergency (I think she was talking about the border) and then “hopefully” he’d restore it afterwards.

    JFC, these people are so very fucking stupid. I know, I know, Yahweh forbid we blame the fucking stupid voters that voted for this shit. Obviously this is all Biden and Kamala’s fault.

      The number of people still mad at Biden…

      I work in a college financial aid office, an one of my responsibilities is outreach to former students whose loans are in delinquent or default status. This is the only part of my job that makes me want to quit, but that’s besides the point.

      The number of people who rant about Biden forgiving random people’s loans but not theirs, or forgiving student loans of celebrities and athletes (that’s apparently a talking point for these people?) is staggering.

      I like to remind them that 1) Biden did try to offer sweeping forgiveness of 10-20k, but he did not have the authority to do so on his own, so he acted with the authority he had, and 2) now Republicans have full control of the executive and legislative branches, so we can wait to benefit from their plan to help students. I get crickets on that last point.

    “Revealed”

    Fuck you. Fuck anyone surprised by any of this. They wrote it down. They lied to your face and laughed when they were called out. If you are feigning surprise you’re either willfully ignorant or outright mental.

    That’s because “woke” just means “everything I hate.” And if there’s one thing Trump hates, it’s everything but himself.

      It’s defined as “Everything I might have to expend emotional or intellectual effort to understand and be placed in a position where I might be inconvenienced, proven what I’m used to doing is wrong, or demonstrate consideration that the thoughts and feelings of others might be different than my own.”

      If it’s any of that, I get to be angry about it.

    The trade wars during the late 1920’s lead to the Great Depression. The asswipe Orange Nero is making an effort to weaken the USA.

    It’s class war. It’s been class war all along.

    That’s why the courts and the legacy media and the bulk of the political establishment have been at the very least enabling him - because what he’s in fact doing, and has been doing since the beginning, is working for the explicit benefit of himself and his moneyed class cronies, to the detriment of everyone else.

    Wow, really? But I thought he wanted to make Mexico and Denmark pay for things, and do all’s kinda of stuff to help people?

    It’s almost like some fucking idiots voted a guy into office who doesn’t care about them, and wants to create a feudalistic state or something. Like…who ever even saw that coming?

        I’m sure they will have started grooming his successor by then. Even if he tries to push for extending term limits his cognition will be on a steep decline at that point.

          Thiel already chose Shady Vance. He doesn’t have the cult leader charisma to win a fair election, but that won’t matter anymore by then.

    The whole problem is Supply Side Jesus is taking his sweet ass time coming back. Therefore, the nut bags at the Heritage Foundation have to crash the world via disease, war, famine, and death.
