The problem is that while trump may not know what he’s talking about, his followers will believe him anyway. So it’s important to loudly and repeatedly point these things out.

Of course the media should but won’t do it, so it’s good that Newsom is calling attention to it, but even then he has to be aggressive and sensationalist about it for the media to report what he says. It’s a role he has taken on, possibly detrimental to his career (or maybe not–we’ll see) but it’s a role that someone with influence like his needs to play so I’m glad he’s stepping up.

And yet as outraged as they are, MAGA still finds a way to say this is the Democrats’ fault:

This is what happens when you gut national-security training, scrub every mention of Islam, jihad, and Sharia from the manuals, and let Obama- and Biden-era bureaucrats turn counterterrorism into cultural sensitivity class. We’re being led by officials who no longer recognize or refuse to name the enemy they’re inviting into our own backyard.’

🙄

Yawn. Wake me when it’s JD Vance and Mike Johnson.

Oh, if they (along with Vought and Miller behind the scenes) can get to where they don’t need him any more, they’d absolutely love to invoke the 25th. The problem for them is, so far they’re still dependent on his cult of personality. They just need to finish consolidating their power. They’re working on that with the military right now and the goal is to have everything cemented before the midterms that would normally take place next November, or before the time trump kicks the bucket, whichever comes first.

He’s a complete puppet who has no idea what’s going on. A figurehead who believes whatever the fascist regime tells him and signs whatever executive orders they put before him. They still need him because the cult base is what keeps them in power-, otherwise he’d already be gone. What will they do when he dies or can’t go out in public any more? I’m not sure if they know, but I think once the midterms are over and once they believe they’ve cemented their power they’ll get rid of him in a heartbeat.

The AI didn’t even imitate his voice that accurately.

Oh, so a tiny number of them have shifted to a Susan Collins level of “concern”? *yawn*

Probably to fire them all

Not a good idea. By the time each of the bills has passed through a few hands, holes will have been drawn on all the necks.

Usually it is said that someone is ‘contemplating’ or ‘planning’ a run for office, but since it’s about a woman the headline says ‘plotting’ because that sounds underhanded and nefarious and the media wants to get the framing in place early.

That said, I think it would be better for her to run to replace Schumer in the Senate. A better chance to win and could do more good there.

With his caretakers who are relatives of those he whose lives he ruined and secretly torture him whenever no one else is around and he can’t tell anyone.

I’ve said from the beginning that one way or another he’d be out right after the midterms (so Vance could have 2 full terms after taking over this one), but maybe il Douche isn’t gonna be able to make it that long. The main thing Vance et. al. have to make sure of is that everything happens in a way that the base will accept as legit and won’t interpret as a coup or conspiracy against Daddy.

Mississippi health officials declared a public health emergency last week in response to the state’s rising infant mortality rate.

Doctor Dan Edney said the best way to reduce infant mortality is by improving maternal health. “That means better access to prenatal and postpartum care, stronger community support and more resources for moms and babies,” Edney wrote.

Mississippi: “Not like that.”

Gettin’ his personal army of brownshirts all legitimized and stuff so they can mow down any protesters and disappear any ‘troublemakers’.

You don’t usually see major news outlets like Newsweek covering protests being planned ahead of time instead of downplaying and barely mentioning that some protests happened after the fact. AND listing specific demands instead of vaguely just saying “anti-trump protests”. That’s an improvement, at least. Keep it going! Getting more media attention in an environment where most media has been cowed and terrified to criticize trump is moving in a positive direction. If you’ve been thinking about showing up, this is a good one to turn out for.

Let me see … a big thing … Oh! How about dropping (can I say it)?

But you see, he is deploying troops to the most dangerous cites–the most dangerous to him and his regime, that is. No need to take control of cities that are on his side.

Work release? Let me guess, HR?

Not clicking on yet another clickbait “feel-good” article, but what is it this time-41%? Because every “New Low!!!1!” reported on is always in the low to mid 40’s. Always.

magas: Mass Deportation Now!

maga 1: omg I just realized if we deport all the illegulls we won’t have a cheap labor force to exploit anymore!

maga 2: Hmm let’s see, what other group’s labor could we exploit with slave wages and no rights or benefits?

maga 1: hmmmm, durrrrrrr.

maga 2: I know! Children!

Kennedy: I’m sure Jesus loves him, but …

Jesus: STFU *hits mute*
