They are running on fumes from nearly 50 years. Nothing new but woke/DEI bull$#*+. That said never underestimate their ability to lie/cheat/steal elections with the help of the MSM.

LOLOL

You've got Trump out there saying crazy **** every day again just like he did last time he was in office (which led to him losing to the Dems' Weekend at Bernie candidate) and you think the only way Dems win upcoming cycles (where their candidate quality is bound to be higher than in 2024) is by cheating?

Right now, I’m genuinely embarrassed to be an American.

Can you even imagine the outrage from MAGA if Joe Biden had said he was going to “take over Gaza” and “own it”? They’d be calling him cognitively impaired, saying he’s lost his mind, and screaming about imperialism. But… pic.twitter.com/HNzIW1ZFnp

Good luck with that.

Your great President Trump does an awesome job troll you snowflakes and you fall for every single time.

Do you think he's really going to take over Gaza? I'll be the first to say that's a bad idea. Maybe he's just putting the fear of God in those cocksu*kers to get them In check?

It must be exhausting being outraged every minute of every day, and we're only three weeks. Pace yourself grasshopper.

---

Trump gibberish is called "trolling" now? LOLOL

Y'all smart-washing all the insane stuff he says is hilarious.

And that's a lot of electoral confidence for a party that got trounced three straight election cycles after Trump was elected the last time. You seem to forget how all that stuff that he says that his base eats up on the campaign trail works a lot less well when he actually tries to govern.

---

The problem is that it all looks brilliant, at least for the time being, because the previous administration set such a low bar for both, competency and integrity.

---

Agree that it feels like a fresh change of pace/direction/focus.

We're absolutely in the honeymoon stage of the relationship.

I saw that last night and was going to post it today.

Probably the most detailed indictment of the current strategy, but also most detailed suggestion for how to trend hard in the right direction fiscally, that I've seen.

USAID at work...

The Brookings Institution has forcefully attacked @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk for shutting down USAID.

They conveniently never disclose in all of their hit pieces that they've received USAID grants for "humanitarian assistance" and "protecting human rights." pic.twitter.com/Aw0aCQ3noe

Love hearing this. America is so lucky to have Elon Musk.

With the support of President @realDonaldTrump, the @DOGE team will aim to make rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system.

Just a few days ago, the FAA’s primary aircraft safety notification system failed for several hours!https://t.co/WHwNNBN0Zd https://t.co/fwOJ9BUBX5

The sad part is no one cares. If they did, they would look for serious solutions instead of nickels in the couch cushions. And don't get me wrong. I'm still good with figuring out which govt programs work and which don't, and finding efficiencies to reduce waste, but the hard stuff will never be discussed.

While I agree this is needed, I feel like the Transportation department has bigger fires to put out right now. Maybe come back to them in a couple of months and let them get their house in order after the last couple of weeks

Guess we aren't putting America First now.

Defense Secretary Hegseth would not rule out sending American troops to Gaza when questioned by reporters prior to meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Pentagon.

Well, well, well..... USAID has been funding Politico. Now Politico can't pay their employees.... interesting...

🚨 This is the biggest scandal in news media history:

No employee at Politico got paid yesterday. First time ever the company missed a pay period. This is a crisis.

Now we learn Politico — a “news company” — which spent the last 10 years trying to destroy the MAGA Movement was… pic.twitter.com/DwHqEp6gjp

because it isn't true

A false claim is spreading that @politico received more than $8.1 million in funding from USAID.

In reality, two USAID offices paid a total of $44k for subscriptions to E&E, an energy and environment publication owned by Politico.

Trump just offered to buy out everyone in the CIA (and managed to blow a bunch of peoples' cover in the process).

I think we're well into Anti-America First.

Combo of not caring and there being significant political pain involved to make the tough decisions and nobody has the gumption.
