Trump's understanding of Obamacare has been consistent:

1) Obama, therefore bad.

2) Rich Republicans and right-wing media hate it, so denouncing it generates praise/donations.

3) Average people don't like losing benefits, so lie that they'll get something better, enough will buy that.

That's it.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

As a teen or young adult in the 1990s you had constant encounters with people in their 50s-80s who were combatants, victims or perpetrators during catastrophes of the mid-20th century

That direct link to realities of Nazism and other forms of oppression such as Stalinism or colonialism is now gone

President began demolishing the East Wing of the WH to build there his $200M+ ballroom.

East Wing was built in 1942 during the presidency of FDR. It was constructed to cover the bunker that he used during WWII and the President's Emergency Operations Center.

You know, to paraphrase @kenwhite.bsky.social , if you joke about some things, it’s kind of like ‘ironically’ fucking a goat.

Sure, you may say it’s for irony or performance art or to be provocative or whatever, but at the end of the day, you’re still balls deep in a goat.

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

So MSNBC reportedly fired Matthew Dowd tonight just hours after Jesse Watters called for his "immediate" termination over his Charlie Kirk shooting comments.

Meanwhile, Watters said he's going to "avenge" Kirk's death because "they are at war with us" -- and he'll face no repercussions from Fox.

See what’s happening?

Trump pardoned 1500 violent J6 criminals who assaulted the police at the Capitol.

He’s brought in the military for law enforcement.

And now those with shotguns and AR-15s are free to roam DC.

He’s creating his own violent militia.

One of the biggest open secrets of the 21st century is that most of the things people blame for workers not getting a fair shake -- technological unemployment, outsourcing -- aren't nearly as big a deal as the law continuing to become more hostile to the existence of unions.

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms.

It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.
