That's half of the humanitarian food aid budget for USAID, getting new signs to make Pete Hegseth feel like a Real Man™ and letting children starve to death. Good job, Team America!

Edit: oh, if it's $2 billion, that was the entire humanitarian food aid budget.
 
Yeah, to slash and burn and destroy the institutions of good government.
For example...

NOAA cancels funding for tsunami warning systems...
This lab is key for tracking deadly waves. Its sensors are about to go offline.

Thanks Trump, you god damn Pedophile.
Of course after all blue states are more likely to get hit by a tsunami than red states and this is all about destroying the blue states.
 
Mental health expert explains in detail that Donald Trump will not make it to the end of his term. The condition(s) that are debilitating him mentally are absolutely not reversible and will continue to worsen.

Trump administration fear of non-carbon based energy knows no bonds:

The entire administration appears to be institutionally anti-Christian. No consciences allowed.

Edit: For instance, acceptance into the adminstration was (and probably still is) predicated on agreeing with the assertion that Trump actually won the 2020 POTUS election.

WH press secretary info:

What does Karoline Leavitt's husband do?

In December 2023, Leavitt became engaged to Nicholas Riccio, a real estate developer from New Hampshire who is 32 years her senior.
 
The housing and population boom across the sunbelt would have been impossible without migrant construction labor you fucking moron. The US economy would also be substantially smaller. Goods and services more expensive. Incomes lower. Also it is not 30M idiot.

Blaming the escalating negative affordability sentiment on immigration is not going to work. You guys are responsible now, that's how it works.

 
They claim illegal immigrants are the cause of every problem in this country, the crazy thing is some people believe it.

Yeah migrants making the price of Oreos, t-shirts, cars, or whatever go up is not an argument that's going to fly especially after these guys campaigned on being able to bring prices down easily. The electorate voted for it to be 2019 again not to watch Trump gleefully turn every dial to make things cost more.

all to distract from the epstein files...
It's funny how conservatives think market forces don't apply to drugs. Squeeze the supply => prices go up => more producers enter the market. Bringing down Americans' insatiable appetite for drugs would require investing in a better society and we can't have that.

I wonder when Pete is going to bomb a brewery, a distillery, or a winery? He knows first hand the scourge of being a drunk.
 
So when are they going after Texas? /s
Texas was different. Didn't need a referendum of the voting public, just control of the legislature. Disclosure: I don't know much about the specifics, just this. The CA measure AFAIK suspends the state system temporarily, i.e. until 2030. However, I suppose the system itself was the voters' doing, so they have the right to change it.
 
I looked this up and am posting it here as a public service:

AI Overview

Malignant narcissism is a severe form of narcissism characterized by a combination of narcissistic, antisocial, and paranoid traits, including grandiosity, entitlement, lack of empathy, manipulativeness, and cruelty. Individuals with this condition are not only self-centered but also malicious, actively exploiting and tormenting others for personal gain and pleasure. They are often deceitful, aggressive, and may exhibit sadism and a paranoid belief that others are against them, which fuels their rage. This condition is considered a step toward psychopathy, though distinct from it.

Symptoms and behaviors

Exploitation and manipulation:

They take advantage of others for personal gain, using manipulation, lying, and control to achieve their goals.

Aggression and sadism:

They can be physically or verbally aggressive and enjoy the suffering or humiliation of others.

Paranoia:

They often believe others are plotting against them, leading to unfounded accusations and elaborate security measures.

Cruelty and lack of remorse:

They show a distinct meanness, menace, and cruelty not typical of other narcissists and lack remorse for their harmful actions.

Arrogance and entitlement:

They have an inflated sense of superiority and expect special treatment without cause.

Need for control:

A strong need for power and control drives them, often to the detriment of others' safety and well-being.

Impact on others

Relationships with malignant narcissists are often abusive, characterized by fear, manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional distress.

Victims may feel anxious, intimidated, or fearful, and the abuse can be both overt and subtle.

They may rationalize their behavior or project their own wrongdoing onto others.

Relationship to other conditions

Antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy):

Malignant narcissism shares traits with psychopathy, such as exploitiveness and a lack of empathy and remorse, though they are considered distinct.

The Dark Triad:

The traits of malignant narcissism align with the "Dark Triad" of personality traits, which includes narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism.
