1) “It’s a massive, mindboggling gamble for congressional Republicans, too.” This comment is related to something that I have wondered about for some time. Trump never campaigned on DOGE, and it seems to me that it’s only hurting his popularity. He can’t possibly care about using the “savings” to justify his tax cuts because I’m sure to …
1) “It’s a massive, mindboggling gamble for congressional Republicans, too.” This comment is related to something that I have wondered about for some time. Trump never campaigned on DOGE, and it seems to me that it’s only hurting his popularity. He can’t possibly care about using the “savings” to justify his tax cuts because I’m sure to Trump tax cuts are an unalloyed good requiring no justification. And he can’t possibly be doing it to improve the national debt; otherwise he’d forego the tax cuts entirely. So why is he continuing to do it? Is he so in thrall to Musk that he can’t stand up to him (Musk can’t easily be bullied. Since Trump is really a bully, he can’t stand up to someone who he can’t bully.)? This is an honest question. I really have no good idea.
2) “People are still reading the Atlantic? I thought they were out of business.” The issue is the gross breach of national security, not The Atlantic’s readership numbers. But Moreno has learned well from the master. If you don’t have a good answer, just attack (or denigrate) the source of the irritation.
1. He technically can’t have another term, and he’s absolutely checked out with dementia brain. He just blows $3mil a pop to spend his time golfing, and shows up only when he has to. He never wanted to do the hard job of governing. Hes not book smart.
2. This is his malignant narcissist revenge tour. He can’t handle any sort of slight, so here we are. No one is going to stop him either. He will jail the people on his shit list. It’s coming.
3. DOGE was always going to exist. Yarvin, who is the brains behind what Elmo is doing, has had a hard on for years over destroying the “cathedral.” The cathedral here refers to government (it’s known as RAGE - retire all govt employees) as well as universities/academia. It’s interesting to note that Yarvin’s parents were civil servants, and his education and nice life was because of their jobs. Trump calls himself king bc it’s a Yarvin thing. Yarvin wants a “monarchy” (techno-feudalism) with “shareholders” who make the decisions, and a CEO who runs the country. The shareholders are the billionaires.
There’s no need for elections because Elmo and pals will run the country. Trump is our modern Caligula so he just shows up when he feels like it, tanks the economy, causes starvation, and Hoovers up our tax dollars. He’s really into cruelty too.
Upside though is Caligula was murdered so maybe history will do its thing. When asked who should be CEO, Yarvin replied Elon Musk. (This was years ago)
3. Everyone acting as if there will be another presidential election is naive. Most people don’t know who yarvin is so they don’t have a clue about the actual plan. So all of those critters are absolutely stupid for not fighting back because they will be out of jobs like the rest of us.
4. The “cuts” are about destruction, period. There’s no real savings. It’s just the talking point so they can have deniability. It’s then repeated everywhere so people believe it rather than their own eyes.
