Guess they aren't fans of clean water or driveable roads.

It feels like a pipedream while conservatives control so much of the legislature.

Such a villain the only way to look "good" is to stand next to Trump.

Fuck both of those losers, they're shit from the same sandwich.

Are we winning yet?

It must be nice to be dead and still able to live comfortably. Are they really worried about re-election? Who are their constituency going to vote for, a Democrat?

I was there for the "Republican Autopsy." It wasn't a death throe of the party at all. They reconfigured themselves in to a memetic virus of toxic masculinity and populism, built on a foundation of conspiracy-oriented magical thinkers and their fear of everything different from themselves. Republican voters don't give a damn about reality, they vote like they do so they can live in and perpetuate a mad fantasy. They will never stop, it's all they have.

"Make a list of every country that runs a trade deficit."

"Now apply that formula you suggested."

"Now write up a draft executive order that would make it all happen. Use some spelling mistakes so we can track leaks."

You don't think things are different now than they were 10 years ago?

Nazis aren't the biggest threat to democracy? Cool story, bro

Musk will not be able to handle losing the spotlight

Best bad choice

"Miguel Sarre, a former member of the United Nations Subcommittee for the Prevention of Torture, described CECOT as a "concrete and steel pit" used to "dispose of people without formally applying the death penalty", citing that the government does not intend to release the prison's inmates." --Article on CECOT by BBC Nobody that goes in comes out, there aren't enough bunks or food for inmates, nobody is allowed to see or speak to the prisoners.

He made the deal with Bukele, if he can't get them back that's because it's how he wanted it.

While Trump pretends he can't ask for anyone he's sent to come back. They're disappearing people into a black site.

Ready for the show trials? For a preview, google "Mccarthyism."

Those dumb assholes couldn't find their way out of a Wal-Mart.

I think you'll find a situation where one of Trump's sons becomes the president after his death, but that the presidency remains effectively "owned" by Musk the whole time.

I live in a red town in a blue state. It is sustained by government projects and has been expanding based on the security of those projects since around 1943. Most anyone with any money is either in construction, real estate, or government work. A large portion of our population are aging and/or veterans. You would think there would be some concern. It's possible there is, but all I experience from them is increasing hostility for increasingly absurd reasons.
