Well, most of those people probably aren't mean and racist, too. Trump has the trifecta.

There are levels of stupidity. I was just estimating the "frighteningly" stupid. There's a spectrum for sure.

More kids died today from gun violence. Lelend Mississippi. 6 shot dead after a homecoming game. Another tragic loss.

But MAGA is worried about who's pooping in which bathroom and migrant workers.

Priorities. Get some people.

It used to be a lot of money. But it's what you need today to get kids through college and pay bills. It's not buying tax shelters or fancy cars.

They raise it every year.

But the benefit doesn't increase. So it's a bit unfair. It's a capped benefit, and that's why the tax is capped. Otherwise, you're just giving 12% of your income to the community. Sorry, no.

Someday, you might be making over 200k and wonder where all your money is going. Taxes.

If we measured trumps IQ based on his spoken and written word and his complete lack of math skills... his would be somewhere in the high 70s I think.

They hate all Muslim countries except for the one that's still chopping heads off and murdering reporters.

Hey ICE officials!

Better save some of that bonus money for legal fees.

You still have some time, but not long.

Get on the right side of history quickly or suffer the consequences.

It's not worth the money.

It's seems like a poor idea to attack a "philosophy." Unwinnable.

Plus, nobody wants fascism.

But their movement is in its deathrows because the MAGA boss is a deranged egomaniac. So this is all they have left.

Propping up fake boogeymen is a banana republic staple.

They abuse the shadow docket because they are acting without regard for the Constitution.

They don't want anyone reading these decisions, which makes it very difficult to interpret the law.

Corruption has spread unchecked. Congress has failed its people.

Shocked! Just wait until the impact really hits their constituents.

It hasn't even approached the max pain threshold yet. But it will. And it's clear WHO is causing it.

Can't blame Biden for this one.

Nothing Trump is doing is by his design. His minders (Miller and others) put these ideas in front of him.

Trump bases his decisions on these matters by how it'll hurt his perceived enemies. It's really that simple.

Miller is running the show. Trump is his puppet. It's easy because Trump is dumb.

People mostly identify with the brand that is Trump and not the person.

Low information people consume the brand and never look deeper.

They know he wrote Art of the Deal (he didn't) and his reality TV show (fake).

He's essentially Coors Light, great marketing and product placement, but shit.
