    I cannot imagine being an IRS tax auditor/Trump supporter unless I was really really really really super into racism

    it’s always the same story with these mindless drones…even after Trump screws them over, they’ll still talk about how they like him and support a lot of what he does or stands for

    fck all of them…I hope many continue to lose their jobs, their businesses, their houses, etc

    as long as everyone else gets screwed they’re fine with it, and only start to have an issue if it affects them

    a bunch of chickens voted for KFC and Popeyes because they thought the company would only fry other chicken just to get their wake up call right when they’re about to hit the fryer themselves

    So you were the one that made a false statement, pretended that I stood in opposition to that false statement, and I am the one who is gaslighting? I don't think you understand the meaning of the word. As I said in the January 6 thread, the people who engaged in violence should be punished commensurate with the violence they engaged in.

    Five days on the job. No qualifications for the job to begin with. No idea what her agency does or who they serve. Yet she has determined, along with Donald Trump (of all people), that the Department of Education is bloated and needs slashed.

    And MAGA, not realizing this is precisely why these Fox news hosts make the big bucks, goes along with every ******* word, believing that our government, which barely functions as it is in many respects, is magically going to run better...

    Linda McMahon Makes Major Fumble On Fox News While Trying To Defend Education Cuts
    The professional wrestling promoter-turned-secretary of education had no idea what one key acronym stood for.

    Mar 12, 2025, 11:18 AM EDT
    Education Secretary Linda McMahon is fumbling key acronyms on national television.

    The former professional wrestling promoter sat down Tuesday with Fox News to defend her department’s massive staff cuts of some 1,300 employees, which were announced earlier that day, only to unwittingly prove just how essential education really is.

    McMahon explained on “The Ingraham Angle” that Congress appropriates money through the department’s expenditures and programs including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, which provides children with disabilities free public education.

    When asked what “IDEA” stood for, however, the 76-year-old couldn’t accurately answer — and told host Laura Ingraham, “Well, do you know what? I’m not sure I can tell you exactly what it stands for, except that it’s the programs for disabled and needs [students].”

    Ingraham couldn’t tell her audience, either, and leisurely wagered that the acronym stood for “Individuals with Disabilities Act.” The missing “E” for “Education” is, of course, literally McMahon’s department — and one of the key acronyms one might expect her to know.

    “This is my fifth day on the job,” said McMahon. “I’m really trying to learn them very quickly.”

    Best known for co-founding World Wrestling Entertainment, the 76-year-old was confirmed by the U.S. Senate last week to become President Donald Trump’s secretary of education. On Tuesday, she claimed the upcoming staff cuts weren’t her idea — but Trump’s.

    “That was the president’s mandate,” McMahon told Ingraham, per the Daily Beast. “His directive to me, clearly, is to shut down the Department of Education. What we did today was to take the first step of eliminating what I think is bureaucratic bloat.”

    Sorry if I came across as an *******. I respect you alot more than @Space Ghost who's a wanna be libertarian. I may disagree with your views but you atleast have consistent views without flip flopping like the other wanna be libertarian.

    Sounds like most of his appointments honestly. All they do know is that if they give millions to Trump, and serve him a double dose of butt kissing they move to the top of the hiring list.

    Honestly, in don't care that she couldn't remember the acronym, if she knew what it was. It's such a minor thing to get onto somebody for when there are tons of different acronyms out there.

    The FO just never stops. Especially ol’ Musk finding out that his Tesla demo hates him now.

    I enjoy the dirt-road dems. This guy is funny.

    Having a general idea what something is doesn't exactly make her an expert either, which is my point.

    Think about this: in the same interview she reportedly said, "So many of these programs are really excellent, so we need to make sure the money goes to the states." Do you think that money's ever going to the states?

    Trump lives in a state of delusion, and we have to deal with it getting worse each year as his dementia progresses. With his family history and age Alzheimer's could be next, and then his rage will only get worse.

    The stupidity of people just throwing away our republic and the lack of any courage by the GOP to stand up to obvious facism is alarming.

    This will not end nicely.....history is about to repeat again.

    He is literally melting down every day, the Irish PM - for some reason - visited the WH today and he had an elderly dementia patient ranting at him about pharmaceutical companies and how he likes Conor McGregor - it's horrible now, and it gets worse every day. There's an honest-to-god mad king on the throne outsourcing the destruction of the United States to his neo nazi drug addict video game buddy and nobody anywhere is really doing anything about it.

    I can't watch any tv show or movie now about presidents or national security etc when it turns out the whole United States and its vast capacity of state power amassed over centureis was based on a sham that takes about a month for one moron to completely destroy.

    Oh man, I'm loving this! The more the liberals' heads explode, the more I know that Trump is doing the right things for the country's long term success. Resetting the balance of power, slashing government waste, ending the Democrats' illegal and corrupt funding activity (ActBlue, USAID), ending entanglements in foreign wars, securing the border, lowering inflation, ending woke + DEI racism, ending the weaponization of the legal system and the intel agencies, restoring democracy... the list of wins just goes on an on. All other Presidents did not have the strength to take on these issues head on, like Trump has. The man belongs on Mount Rushmore once this is all accomplished.


    GOOD DAY

    At this point you have too many factions vying for power in the White House. Trump is the only unifying entity there they in the end have to follow on what he says … id say for better or worse but it’s usually for worse.

    If Trump gets sent home to Mar A Lago there will be a Civil war with these grifters and crooks like we’ve never seen. My guess is if Trump unravels to the point where he is costing them all that much you’ll see someone like Musk, Vance, etc. try to convince Trump to move to the “winter White House” full time and let them “handle things” in DC for the time being.

    I do think that conversation is coming soon and it’ll be really interesting to see what Trump does if he realizes he’s being put out to the pasture and what he feels he needs to do to show how powerful he is… because as great as it would be for him to just go away and be a fake president, I think he’s going to die in office one way or another. This is a man hell bent on being the king of the world.

    He won’t be impeached or 25th amendmented. Those around him need the power of his base behind them. Nobody on the right is voting against this guy in public ever again.
