Worse, this is an illegitimate & unconstitutional administration per 14.3, dismantling the government, & giving aid to enemies. The Constitution is clear.
Why do we still treat him & his EOs like they're legitimate?
We the people are sovereign. The govt is OUR agent & must abide by Constitution.
So, if you are a citizen of either of these places, it's like heads I win, tails you lose. Trump preferred candidate is always a crook so whatever money he sends to "help out" will never get to the people anyway. Excellent endorsement of Mamdani!
The lying and vapid disingenuousness is now a GOP party requirement and feature. Styles may vary. As far as supporters, many of those remaining are cheering on the lies as a means to an end or are too far gone to notice. Either way, they're a lost cause.
You are right. Imagine the power that these 400 individuals have. This is unsustainable and a product of decades of gaming the system for the rich. It's indicative of a systemic breakdown rather than the inherent worth of these people to society.
Nothing that comes from this administration can be trusted...and are likely lies. I operate under the assumption they are all lies unless proven otherwise.
Good bet they're so incompetent they can't even keep their lies straight.
Unfortunately, all major voting machine companies donate to the GOP. We need paper ballots. Then, hand counting OR a robust, uniform procedure for binding risk-limited audits (multiple checkpoints by multiple independent sources) w/clear scientifically sound threshold to trigger hand counting.
If I were a Trump sycophant, I would worry about backing an adjudicated insurrectionist, constitutionally barred from holding office via 14.3 unless amnesty is granted by 2/3 congress.
In other words, there's a good argument that Trump is an illegitimate president & thus pardons are null & void.
We need to go back to hand counting, then. All voting machine companies have right wing ties (big donors to GOP) and are suspect. Not sure why we allow partisan owners to supply these machines when tabulation by these machines is so opaque.
👀"NOTUS attempted to trace the money appropriated for more than 100 government programs to understand where taxpayer dollars are going, only to hit dead ends...agencies have been vague in their explanations, and...there’s no publicly available evidence that appropriated money is being spent at all."
This is coming from the Yarvin camp. Ultimately, what they describe is a "benevolent" dictatorship, one that is pro-business (pro-people is better). But what they fail to understand is that autocratic tendencies & "benevolence" are usu. mutually exclusive. Think G. Washington refusing to be king.
That stood out to me too & I've heard similar. It means they know their policies (i.e. P2025) are unpopular & that they can only win by hook & by crook (lying - disavowing P2025, bribes, threats, intimidation, voter suppression, gerrymandering, Musk "manipulation," etc.). A pact w/the devil.
