I think the US is going to have a health epidemic of falling-out-of-windows soon.
Can we get a Celebrity Deathmatch episode of this please?
My money's on McMan
In other words; a bunch of ultra wealthy nepo-babies with the IQ/EQ comparable to the average 14 year old boy are hanging out at a luxury country club deciding the future of our nation, and despite having collectively been in the game for almost a decade, they still have no idea what they're doing.
We've come full circle, back to the "founding fathers" in terms of letting the wealthy few decide our future, yet our modern cast of wealthy few are wealthy fools who likely wouldn't survive a week without their personal assistants.
because each and everyone of them think that they are the real shit
Yeah the sith had issues with infighting too, kind of a mark of authoritarian takeover.
It's important to remember our history.
overwrites the Sith Empire history with some weird consciousness transfer deal
Honestly kind of a nice metaphor?
It was nice having a break from these news stories for four years with a boring Biden administration.
What break? The media couldn’t give up their orange addiction. Remember how much news there was for every trial?
I didn't bother to pay attention because he wasn't at the levers of power the whole time. It was bliss.
Hopefully they just tear themselves apart from the inside and everyone just bails and we can have another election with some decent fucking candidates.
Trump’s team is slowly discovering why we have government and bureaucracy.
they must have not got the memo that their infighting is exactly what boss Putin wanted.
Media companies have realized what foreign governments have known for years. If you want all the inside knowledge of what goes on in the Trump White House, send a spy to Mar-a-lago. You don't need clandestine agents when Trump and his crew discuss all this stuff openly, and all you have to do is pay to get in.
Hell, the dipshits willingly talked to the Watergate guy who ended up writing a book about it (instead of actually telling people about the shit, because that doesn't make you money).
I feel like if we're to get out of this unscathed it'll be because of this kind of infighting. AntiMAGA people in gov't should find as many ways to stir the pot as they can.
We're not getting out of this unscathed.
The infighting and arguing is, at best, the grifters trying to secure the best grift for themselves at the expense of everyone else.
No you're right, even if it's just chaos and infighting for the next four years we're all going to suffer
AntiMAGA people in gov’t should find as many ways to stir the pot as they can.
These people are so mature and well adjusted that this could be accomplished by simply walking up to Trump and saying "did you hear what Vance said about you last night?" and then walking up to Vance and saying "did you hear what Elon said about you?" and then asking Elon "did you hear what Don Jr said about you?" No elaboration, let their "imaginations" run wild.
There is probably at least one troll doing exactly that lol
Honestly if I had the influence required id worm my way in just to do that. It emphasizes factionalism and forces them at eachothers throats.
Yet another headline you’d never have to worry about seeing under any other normal presidency.
Because the dems hide it better?
Because they actually have policy and aren't egotistical maniacs struggling for power for powers sake.
Last time Dems had control they passed comprehensive healthcare. The GOP gave themselves a tax cut.
Lol. Dems are ruled by corporations that are after power for power's sake. They dont even try to hide it.
Did you not see Harris proudly declaring that she supports fracking and Israel??
This is why the Media helped Trump win. So they will have endless stories like this.
Trump didn't win. Harris lost.
I hated it so much last time. Too stressful. When Biden won in 2020 it felt like a weight was lifted off me.
I see a lot of takes like "The media learned nothing from 2016/2020."
My enby in Christ, our blessed ever perfect capitalism means they can NEVER 'learn' or even 'care' about what is best for the country. It will only ever be about the click$.
I see a bunch of middle school boys
They're actual predators pushing fascist sentiment. Maybe it'd be good to stop relying on that narrative ya know
Traditionally, disputes like this were resolved by all members of one faction having unfortunate fatal accidents in the same night.
