The Trump Presidency 2.0

[JPhillips]

MAGA religious leaders dedicated a literal giant golden statue of Trump at Doral.

[Ghost Econ]

Dude is mentally challenged and has failed to win any state house race. For as much as Trump hates losers, he really surrounds himself with a lot of them.

Yes to both of those but he's also positioned to distance himself from this shitshow somewhat.

Trump mobile phone story is hilarious.

Of course all these dumbass MAGAts will probably blame Biden or Obama six months from now as they move on to fall victim of the next Trump scam.

I’m not trying to flex on being a great Christian or anything but I have never in my life had to explain that the golden statue I was worshipping was technically not a calf so you can’t get mad at me https://t.co/O2zHQz5I0x

It's a cult.

I'm shocked that Trump would scam his followers like this:

Just creating fake companies with fake products and billing taxpayers.

Kash Patel made the military take him on a snorkeling adventure around the USS Arizona.

It is kind of funny that they all just treat their job as a slush fund for their own personal enjoyment.

[Flasch186]

I think if there were ever rails on they’ve completely come off now

As I said I do not believe we’ll have free and fair elections ever again

There’s no apologizing or even hiding the graft anymore

The increasing and buying securities in companies the government is getting in bed with, the complete stealing from the coffers by negotiating with himself to get paid off, the giving phantom money to phantom folks, the buying of the DOJ…

It’s over. We just have to pray we are left with enough capital to survive the privatization of social security as they take the money out of that.

They’re not even hiding it anymore.

The Supreme Court ruling in the vra opened up the buffet to claim the government for themselves

[RainMaker]

So the Democrats miscounted their votes and had to have a guy vote against a bill he sponsored. Gotta di a better job of finding your rotating villian.

[dubb93]

So we are going to compensate the filth that attacked the capitol on Jan. 6? We keep hitting new lows.

[Thomkal]

So yeah racism doesn't exist in America anymore....

I don't know if things have changed but the area around the USS Arizona used to be pretty sacred when I was there. They had tours but it was treated as a cemetery of sorts. So I don't know if they opened this up to snorkelers lately or if this was just some weirdly dark vacation adventure he made them setup.

I was there a few years back and my experience was the same. It also still leaks oil so i doubt they would open it up for anything like that. Likely just Kash taking advantage of his position.

Honestly if all this stupid shit is all that happens I would consider it a victory.

[Ksyrup]

I was just there in January. It was very solemn, and we weren't on the actual memorial very long. The entire place (various exhibits and museums) is pretty cool. I was also there when I was like 9 years old (around 1980).

On the news they did say that on rare occasions they've had private VIP tours, so this is not entirely new but I'm sure he made sure to insist on it.

So we're about to leave for a 3 week vacation hitting like 7 countries, and the only thing my Mom is worried about is our overnight in Chicago tomorrow night (repositioning flight for our international flight on Sunday). Seriously. "Don't wander around, order food in or eat at the hotel restaurant because you're white and they're looking to kill you." God help me...

[JPhillips]

There is so much of that here with NYC. I don't know how many people I've told that the places you'll go in NYC are perfectly safe and awesome.

[Ksyrup]

She kept talking about some girl getting killed that I have not heard about. I'm sure it's all over Fox News like it's some major national story.

[flere-imsaho]

Only ICE is killing people around here, tbh.

[Lathum]

Trump just totally threw Boebert under the bus and for the 1000 time I’ll ask how people still haven’t figured out he will always turn on you. His loyalty is a one way street.

So apparently God has wanted that ballroom for 250 years....

Massie goes down. I saw posted on a conservative site that 1% of the money Gallrein raised was from within Kentucky.

Not sure how the US Attorneys for the Broadview Six case come out of this without pretty serious penalties.

[Thomkal]

Yeah Judge was not happy with what they did. Or how they still acted like the Six were guilty.

[Atocep]

Consumer sentiment is at an time low dating back to 1952 when the survey started. April and May are the only 2 months with a consumer sentiment below 50.

They still can. As of now the biggest penalty is they have been fired from their work with the Senate Judicial committee.

Sadly the first thing I thought about Gabbard's announcement was not good thoughts for her husband's recovery, but that she was lying to save face.

Me too, or at the very least a convenient excuse.

Massie was outspent like 15 to 1 and Israel PAC basically paved the way for all of it.

Same. I think people like Gabbard don't care about anything or anyone. She's always only cared about obtaining power and will change her stances on a dime for it.

She's smart enough to see she is on a sinking ship and found a good reason to save face and jump off. Now she can do FOX News hits until the dust settles and come back when it suits her.

Who is even her audience at this point? She was the anti-war Democratic politician who joined an administration that went straight neocon as soon as she joined. They excluded her from pretty much everything.

Doesn't seem like Republicans want her and Democrats will likely oppose her anti-war stance too. Kind of in a weird no-mans land.

[Thomkal]

With all the problems posting here not sure anyone was able to mention that Epstein's aide testified to Congress yesterday that she was abused by him and named three others, one now deceased, that had abused her:

[RainMaker]

And nothing will happen to those men because the country is run by pedophiles.

Gabbard is going to jump in with MTG, Tucker, Candace Owens, Hunter Biden, etc. There's a lot of money to be had in that sewer.

What is even her angle? MTG, Tucker, and Candace were able to jump into the anti-war side because there is no anti-war side in this country. A failure of the opposition in the U.S. Tulsi sat around while we bombed and invaded countries for the past year. She can't really slide into that role. She isn't going to be welcomed by anti-war folks.

Reuters is reporting she was forced out.

Reuters says White House officials are saying she was forced out. They found a face saving way to move her on without making up a fake job like the others.

[JPhillips]

If MTG can make money talking about assassination conspiracies and Hunter Biden can make money cozying up to Candace Owens, there's money available for Tulsi to give the inside scoop on how the "neo-cons" are running the country.

She never spoke out when she was in the administration. I just don't see who her audience is. The others have an audience.

Just checking to see if we can post here again. Secret Service shot and killed someone who open fired at a White House checkpoint. One bystander injured as well.
