    You have to understand that more than half of Americans have a reading comprehension level below that of a 6th grader. When you say 33% of americans approve of Trump you have to think about the iq levels of those supporters. Majority of them would be diagnosed as having learning disabilities.

    I have to chuckle when I read this because I would consider your grammar, logic, and communication skills as unemployable.


    GOOD DAY

    The TACO administration is already saying, "nope, never mind" about some CDC firings, including those dealing with epidemiology/disease tracking. I guess even some Repub congressionals called the WH and said, "WTF?"

    Clown show.

    It makes you wonder who is running the show. I don’t think the POTUS is making all these decisions and has allowed his cabinet members to go wild. Of course, he himself set the example, so it makes sense that this is a consistent pattern: taking rash decisions and then reversing them. In simple terms, it’s a chaotic pattern of poor decision-making followed by some reversal. In most cases, the damages are sustained, with only some reduction. I guess you could call this form of executive operation "distributed chaos."

    He is clearly not, he can barely function

    Miller is running his own paramilitary coup/ethnic cleansing campaign

    Vought is illegally doing his own bit to murder the country's infrastructure & state capacity

    Bondi & co are on the "keep Epstein files secret/illegal retribution" detail

    Besse t is raiding the Treasury & arranging kickbacks etc

    Various other flunkies committing crimes etc

    Foreign policy is a total mess, just random tweets about tariffs and nobel prizes

    That's it, that's where we are.

    And the GOP in Congress and the Senate along with the corrupt Supreme court are all complicit and guilty.

    Well, that’s one way of seeing things. In this account, the people around him are in charge and are likely manipulating him for their own agendas. When you have a guy who only cares about himself and is amoral, with no principles, that’s not too hard to do.

    You left out DR. Robert F. Kennedy.

    The people around him are only in it to enrich themselves. Kinda like how someone in the WH opened a new account and did a massive bitcoin short only minutes before Trump dumped the markers by Introducing new tariffs. The most corrupt admin in history



    Funny how the same low iq folks who were obsessed with fake corruption @Os Trigonum suddenly stopped caring about real corruption

    Gavin Newsom has called out Donald Trump for golfing through the government shutdown.
    The 79-year-old president has golfed on both weekends since the government ground to a halt on Oct. 1.

    The shutdown has left 750,000 federal workers furloughed, and Trump has taken the opportunity to carry out mass layoffs.
    His budget goon Russ Vought gutted entire CDC departments in a Friday-night “massacre.”

    The next day, Trump was photographed hitting the links at his Virginia club.

    Trump took a free plane from Qatar and traded them an air Force base in Idaho

    Just jaw dropping. Meanwhile people like Bari Weiss are making hundreds of millions of dollars hunting down assistant professors who say it's bad when Israel starves Palestinian children.

    Because political correctness is the real power holder here - not the people who control all the powerful institutions

    Trump just brought peace to the Middle East and on the same day Sam declares foreign policy a “total mess.” LMAOOOO

    Liberals are completely lost right now! Living in an alternate reality and missing out on the Golden Era because of their partisan anger. Sad!

    GOOD DAY
