Can't wait for Republicans to touch all the stoves at the same time.

Do people not remember George W Bush winning a second term with a real popular vote win, then immediately squandering his political capital with "privatize social security"?

Yeah I dunno, feels different. You see guys like Fetterman and Ritchie Torres changing their tune overnight. Even Bill Gates has flocked to Trump's side.

I think they see there is like zero appetite for anything the Dems offer right now. And you just know they'll end up pushing Newsom anyway. Controlled opposition, it feels like.

It's a dead political party.

Cool prediction 8 years out, Nostradamus. I guess the pendulum is just going to stop. Nearly a certainty, lmfao

Why do you post this overconfident obvious nonsense constantly?

Imagine thinking the party that lost to Trump twice is going to stage a comeback. That's even assuming voting isn't dramatically changed, which it likely is going to be. One way or another, seems over for the foreseeable future.

Yea, something sure is dead.
 
Honestly hard for me to get too worked up about Trump wiping out his supporters in a crypto pump and dump. They can eat shit for all I care.

The corruption is inevitable in this admin but a bunch of average MAGAs losing their shirts is simply comedy.

Yep. The more Trump voters lose their fucking money to scams like this the happier I am. Look these people voted for shit that we've been warning them about for 9 years. So they deserve all the shit coming to them because we're all going to have to deal with the fallout from the evil of a trump presidency that they voted for.

Focusing on the amazing things in my bubble is going to be my primary source of happiness this year. But without a doubt this schadenfreude is going to be lovely to enjoy as well. Fuck all Trump voters.

Who's even buying this?

The average American doesn't even have money in the stock market much less meme coins.

Sure 61% may own any quantity or form of stock, but the top 10% own the vast majority of stock (something like 90%)

I get it. I was just doing the fact checking.
The economy is doing good, inflation has been dropping (it's sticky at 2.8%) unemployment is what has been/is considered full employment (4%), GDP for the year is forecast for 2.8%

Don't let the RWNJs say the US economy is in the shitter. Yeah, there's things that could be improved on but the syphilitic orange menace has been handed a pretty good functioning economy. Leave to him and his band of reprobates to fuck it up. Which they will.

You probably should have read a little bit of the article. That percentage includes stocks tied to 401k retirement plans, which really can't be used for the context of people owning stock, as it's for retirement not building wealth.

Yeah, it's a valid distinction. Especially when you take into consideration the median amount of 401ks is nowhere near enough to really do anything with.

The inauguration will be taking place indoors due to cold weather. No yuuuge crowds for Lil’ Donny. Those damn Democrats with their weather-control machines.

The fix is in

He saw there wouldn’t be big crowds, so he preemptively set up the excuse. Everybody knows he would have insisted on having it outdoors (with a personal outdoor heater for himself of course) if he thought for one second he could show off the hordes of people who loved him so much they would stand in freezing weather to listen to his word salads and bullshit.

“The crowds would have been gigantic, biggest you’ve ever seen, but they forced us to go into a small area! As always I am the most victimized man in history, you’ve never seen someone so victimized before, and also, I am so extremely macho.”

Hmm...Trump, Vance, Musk and the Bazillionare cabal, most of the Republican congresscritters...all in one building at the same time?
Sounds like a good place to "park" a jetliner...

Oh shit...did I say that out loud? 🤬
 
Central to all of the ill that Trump will try to accomplish by weaponizing the federal bureaucracy: he has appointed James Sherk to serve in the White House Domestic Policy Council. Sherk led the effort during Trump’s first term to reclassify tens of thousands of federal employees to a newly created “Schedule F” status which would strip them of basic civil service protections making them much easier to fire. Conversely, it would ease hiring standards for their replacements to allow Trump to fill these positions with MAGA cronies.
 
He’s finally named a Secretary of Education and the cult is big mad about it because they’re starting to realize he was full of shit when he said he’d abolish the department.

I'm MAGA and very pleased with his picks. People are sick of the anti-white, anti-male, anti-straight, anti-reality leftist corporate caste system. This is why Trump moved just about every demographic and metric in his direction. Only in leftist echo chambers is what Trump doing considered bad.

You live in a bubble. The only anti-anything is what’s spread through your bubble.
