70% of our economy is consumerism...

So of course with this Kleptocratic Administration...

Consumers are "last".

Or did he mean "least"?

Doesn't matter. "Let them eat cake".

I wish a I had a guillotine.

the pedophile/rapist/felon, who is CIC of the most powerful military the planet has ever seen, begged China and others to clean up his mess.

and because we are respected like never before, they all ignored him.

pure humiliation. both in begging for help like a dog, and then getting none.

this is why I think he is going drop 3 nukes on Iran.

What does Kalshi have as the over-under date on a nuke?

Once it happens, say hello to terrorist dirty bomb drone attacks on American cities at civilian gatherings like street festivals and Lollapalooza, which, actually, I guess MAGA would kind of dig, since that's not real Amerikkka anyway.

The guy really is stupid. All he has to do is Google the big confusing words;

 

Why would anyone bring it up? All that would happen is he would yell at them, and then as soon as they left the room Trump would order their boss to fire them.

Of course his advisors are not going to step in and correct his use of the wrong word. For God’s sake, he’s buying them ****ty Florsheim shoes that are two sizes too big and making them wear it …. because he likes them. And they wear them.

Is that really true? I hadn't heard that. It's the ultimate power move for despotic leaders to humiliate their minions by making them do things they would never choose to do on their own.

If it were any other President, he'd have been removed 2 years into his first term. 

You misspelled "weeks". 😉

I don't know which is worse, a President that spends his time just making **** up, or that there is a public so gullible it still believes anything he says.

They are all in, and honestly, they are not afriad to die, because they think Trump is fulfilling prophecy to make Jesus come any time soon. And they might be right, although what they don't realize is that Trump is the Antichrist in that story.

“And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived ..."

American consumer 'the last of our concerns' should play well also. 

I think it's about wearing down the consumerist instincts of the red hats so they will be on totally board with shortages or rationing or whatever the regime is planning for us, after which the rank and file can lord their high-and-mighty christofascist morality over the rest of us profligate eaters as they loc up for whatever they think the final battle will look like.

Fingers crossed it will matter.

Trump doesn't have a quarter of the dignity of Nixon of course.

The problem is going to be persuading voters who finally do turn on Trump that they also need to turn on their Senators that enabled him or we can't get out of his mess. But the Dems are going to need candidates that the left wing doesn't like much to be able to do that in any red states.

I'm on board with the "MORE DEMS" plan and I don't care if they are red or purple state centrists or blue state progressives.

Just get me more Dems...

Please.

But I get what you are saying...

Yes, when it comes to self preservation and wealth acquisition.  It does not matter to him what effect anything has on anybody else else.

I would think anyone who abandons Trump would have to abandon the rest of the Republican Party, since he owns it lock stock, wouldn’t you? They can’t dissociate the Trump lackeys who are technically not Trump himself from Trump himself, can they? Because it’s got to be obvious that a vote for them is a vote for Trump.

I think there could be difference in '26 vs '28 on this. The Dem have to try very hard and I would agree have a decent chance to tie GOP Senators to Trump and that might be enough to swing the Senate, once. But even now there are still states where the public majority still hasn't turned on Trump much less their Senator. 

But I'm afraid it could be short lived because in '28 the  downside risk arises that you have Senators, some even elected before Trump was on the scene. Elected because the locals agreed with their policies. Then these guys all fell in line for Trump. So if they go out and campaign like this: "Well, yes turns out Trump was an aberration but we were bound by party loyalty to support him. Now he is gone and we've got a new guy (assuming they don't run Ivanka! 😱) and we are really the same guys you know and always loved, and BTW don't you still hate them silly cross dressing, brown people loving libruls?! They elected a SOCIALIST in NYC!"

Give someone whose whole political social psychic identity is wrapped up in being a 'Murican 'hate them libruls' Conservative!' I'm not confident of those outcomes.

I guess Trump is going to have to drop a nuke on Venezuela now.
