Did your net worth triple this year? Mine sure didn’t. #trumpthegrifter #2547

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place.

New piece from me:

Trump economics guy: “We’re incredibly optimistic about the future of inflation and the future of our economy.” Yeah, “incredible” as in not the least bit credible 🙄

This is government by dumbf***s

WTAF? Trump/Musk chaos is not in the same universe as “concerns about government inefficiencies” 😑

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

Let’s note some of the areas of public safety that the federal government is supposed to be protecting and is now trying to abdicate under Trump and his Project 2025 handlers…

Maybe, just maybe, causing chaos throughout the federal government and its workforce - which includes air traffic controllers, aircraft inspectors, army helicopter pilots, etc - isn’t the best idea.

This is gold.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."
