Guys, c'mon. There's only so much face a guy has to feed the leopards.
This next two years of "FO" realizations for the FA crowd will bring me no pleasure. Unfortunately we're past the point of return now in participative democracy due to a menially literate population that has had the capacity for rational and forethought drowned out for 3+ generations.
Time, yet again history, to teach people lessons the same, hard way. 😔
The problem is that it appears as though there are tens of millions of Americans who are literally unable to FO. Or they FO, but are entirely unable (or perhaps unwilling at this point) to connect it to all the FA they've been doing.
These guys really seem to want a pissed off veteran to take them out.
FWIW, this breaks from the Two Santas Strategy. This Santa is suppose to be funding things conservatives want, while at the same time reducing taxes (on the rich), thereby driving the deficit up without making their voters mad. If you actually cut funding for a bunch of stuff people rely on, you will earn the ire of the voters, that's why no one ever does it.
Yeah, there will be a core of people who will defend Trump and Musk to their self-inflicted death, but those people are in the minority. Most Americans (and most people in the world) voted against the incumbent this year because they were unfortunately there during a time of inevitable inflation. And they'll do it again if their lives continue to get materially worse over the next few years.
I can't help but wonder how we would be sitting right now if Trump had won in 2020. But we're due for a generational crisis, and I don't think that wouldn't have been nearly as exciting.
I'm sure that'll be popular and there won't be any repercussions and that unicorns will poop free candy for everyone.
They won't cut the funding that goes to the richest Americans and themselves of course.
The crazy thing is the amount of money donated to a Trump by people who work for the Dept of Defense. Or maybe that includes contractors, aka, the rich.
I've can only hope that they fuck things up so bad that... Oh who am I kidding. There are to many stupid Americans for anything they do to make a difference in the Trumpublican party.
No exceptionalism for war criminals. Get in line like the rest.
Okay I'm ootl on this asshat but now I keep hearing his name. Who the fuck is he and what the fuck is his problem?
Conservative to both questions
Given the rest of trump's cabinet about 50/50 shot at being someone who assaults children.
If Fuckface 45 and his cronies actually take office on Jan 20, then this country as we know it is gone. It's over. It's cooked.
They need to be jailed for their crimes before getting into office.
Karma
This is a c/leopardsatemyface moment.
