"What we have seen over the last four weeks is wholesale destruction orchestrated by a billionaire drug abuser who has no idea what government does or how it works." Start with that, and then think through why.

I'm always wary when someone announces they're going to be honest with me. I thought that's what you were doing before. Shame on me.

One of our nation’s crown jewels, the 1.8 million worker-strong Federal civil service, is being gutted in front of our eyes. All of the managers, scientists, engineers, and staff onto whom we offloaded the maintenance and operations of our 21st c. society: fired, disrespected, jerked around… 1/
I still can't get over that we're gonna let them gut NOAA and then dance around covered in its bloody entrails screaming "I bet you are owned now, lib!" No one wants to lose weather forecasts and there literally isn't even a private option available. This would be like shutting off GPS for funsies

When they talk about "a little bit of pain", who do you think will be most affected?
When they can't afford groceries due to retaliatory tariffs, and lose their jobs, will they be able to pay the mortgage?
And who will buy these defaulted properties for pennies on the dollar?
Trickle up economics.

America's biggest problem isn't having a president who routinely lies to its citizens, including saying he didn't know what Project 2025 was, it's that over half of those citizens either don't care about or applaud the deceptions.
