@Jaskalas is overwrought in the Ukraine thread I think, he is entirely right here
That Republicans cannot govern, and Trump doesn't care either way?
I just lived through a year where they did very little. I suppose they reconciled a budget... which expires in a few weeks. That's fun. Also, BBB... where they stripped healthcare from millions of Americans. I suppose that was a successful year for them. OTOH, Trump really could have just waved his hand and done all that anyway. Nobody going to stop him.

I wonder what MAGA priorities in Congress are this year?
I am going to guess back-filling a war authorization after the fact.

Yep, set sanctions on alito, boof, and the rest of the conservative SC justices.
Eye for an eye.

edit
F that. The syphilitic orange menace made the threat, so put sanctions on him and his shitty family too.

This is your daily reminder that nearly every business Trump has started or managed ended up in bankruptcy.

Remember, he never really lost any of ”his” money…his investors and contractors were always on the hook.

The American taxpayers are now his investors…

The only winning move is for everyone to not play the game.

But someone always caves. Like with Amazon HQ2, foxconn, etc.

RTX isn't gonna do jack shit unless paid to do it. Do you have any idea how hard it is to replace a prime DOD contractor who is the sole source for dozens of extremely important systems and munitions? I'm certain Trump doesn't.

"I can't be wrong, it must be everyone else!"

A MAGA recently told me my TDS clouds my ability to fairly judge him. Apparently, the only reason I could possibly hate such a great man's because I'm a dummy who believes the lies the MSM spread about him. I don't own a television, haven't watched a news program in years, longer than he's been president for sure. And I don't really follow news online because it's mostly a shit show that makes me want to cry lol. I told them my hate for him is directly due to the shit he Tweets. Still TDS, how could I possibly have hate for a man who claims at his last physical his doc told him that his MRI was the best MRI he's ever seen. WHAT the fuck does that even mean? lol

MAGAts are the ones who read a Tweet of his about how windmills can cause cancer and thumb it up and proudly reply "I voted for this great man, and would vote for him a 4th time if I could!" But when I say he's a fuckin idiot for posting shit like windmills cause cancer, and turbo cancer at that. Somehow I'm the one in the wrong and it's all TDS.

I've never understood how they think and called them morons from day 1. But after dealing with them since his 1st term, it's grown to where I'm baffled by them on a whole different level so much it hurts me to even think about.

If he somehow fucks around and figures out a way to run a 4th time, and wins. I will shoot myself, I mean literally. And I somehow think he'll create some loophole and make it doable. And all these "I voted for this!" will vote for him again. And after the 1st victory the fact 10's of millions didn't care enough to vote against him in this one gives me zero hope anyone else would beat him.

I don't think he's likely to actually run again, more likely he/his lackeys generate a situation such that he doesn't leave in the first place. Lots of ways to pull that off, none of them good.
But then again, he does love the process of actually running, so he might just do it regardless of illegality and then have a coup for funsies (and ratings)

You mean I can't just go to my local Walmart and buy a Sidewinder missile from a different manufacturer, like I do for say, pots and pans?

and on this quiet day:
Rogue States are not known for international cooperation.
Not really a surprise that this one has withdrawn from basically everything.
Nazis only serve themselves, and generally believe in conquering others, not aiding them.

As @K1052 says, this administration is all stick (an impotent stick at that; an Elon Musk, if you will). They have no idea how to actually use power to get what they want. It's just memes and sticks.

As far as I can tell this administration really only exists to post content and to immiserate the American people who they view to rule not serve. Perhaps that's why most of their issue polling is stuck in the 30% approve range.

Dear Leader proclaims there are no laws. Only his will.
Granted, he is speaking of foreign policy. But I doubt he views a difference there. Especially given our absentee Congress.

TRUMP: POWER RESTRAINED ONLY BY 'MY OWN MORALITY'...
On topic after topic, President Trump made clear that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.

They do more than that - they give tax break to the rich and execute citizens who don't bend to their will.

Trump demands that Smithsonian turn over their documents for planning for the 250 year events by Tuesday. It must be a positive, Trump-heavy and white-dominant interpretation of American history

Smithsonian should just send them all of the Epstein files that they have access to.
