Too much money in having Trump around as a fundraising tool for the Dems to do anything to stop him

Yeah well I venture to guess that fundraising strategy didn't work out very well.

Besides the Dems might not have stopped him, but the voters didn't have to vote for him.

No it worked as intended- the consultants to the Dems made millions.

Again, one of the best indicators the media isn't "left wing" or "liberal" is how this will not be tweeted and acted out 1000 times a day for the rest of his presidency.
 

The US “media” is owned by mega corps and oligarchs who look to benefit the most from Trumps bullshit. There may be a few small town papers that are “left wing” but pretty much everything else is compromised.

America has had issues with the owners of news media for forever and a day. William Randolph Hearst, a partisan hack of the worst kind in his day, was busy using Hearst owned papers to piss on anything FDR did as president during WWII as well as before hostilities broke out with Japan. We had him at one point knowingly trying to float the idea of national “hero” Dugout Douglas MacArthur to be the Republican nominee in 1944. We’re trying to beat down two separate fascist powers in two vastly different areas of the world and the richest newspaper guy of that time was busy trying to get FDR out of office. 
 

If you can actively try to undermine a president that guided America through the Great Depression and three years of war at that point then nothing is sacred with these scumbags. Just a new generation trying to see how much influence they can peddle in DC while lining their bank accounts.

That was the point.  Our corporate media continues to fall for Trumps bullshit and play his games.  They never question it and they don't really follow up with real commentary.  Why was Zelensky the only person not in a suit chastised?  Why did you claim to be able to solve the war in one day and now, 100 days later you have failed to live up to this promise.  How is your economic plan going to lower prices/inflation when it is doing the opposite?  Or did you just mean prices on the stock market and valuations of our economic interests?   How as stakeholders are we going to benefit from this?  How are you going to reign in the growing wealth inequality gap and government corruption where politicians are profiting from their positions and selling influence?

Goddamn, this interview in Time.     Not gonna post the entire thing here, but he's....living in an alternate world.

https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/

 

Quote

President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with TIME at the White House on April 22.

Over the course of the interview, Trump discussed a wide range of issues, including his trade war and the economy, immigration, presidential power, and the situations in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Below is a lightly edited transcript of the interview conducted by TIME Senior Political Correspondent Eric Cortellessa and Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs. Click here to read our fact check.

 

 

Quote

TIME: Obviously, a lot has happened. We want to have a conversation about what your first 100 days have looked like in office. And we want to try to touch on as many different points as we can.

Trump: There’s a lot, right? A lot of things happening.

 

 

 

Quote

We’d love to come back to immigration but maybe start with the economy. Obviously an issue you campaigned on as well. You promised that you would immediately bring down prices and usher in a golden age of America. The prices of gas and eggs have gone down, but the cost of other things remain—

The prices of groceries have gone down. The only price that hasn't gone down is the price of energy. The cost of energy, I'm sorry, well, energy has gone down, excuse me. Let me change that—is the interest rates. And interest rates have essentially stayed the same. But almost every other thing, I mean, you take a look at what's going on, and this is, we're taking in billions of dollars of tariffs, by the way. And just to go back to the past, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars of tariffs from China, and then when COVID came, I couldn't institute the full program, but I took in hundreds of billions, and we had no inflation. 

 

 

NIH is the world’s largest funder of cancer research—

Shouldn’t they be asking those questions? I could give you a list of abuse and waste and fraud, and you don't have any interest in hearing it. I mean, I just see by these questions, just wondering, with all of the bad things that have happened, with all of the things we found, you have no interest in those things. You only have an interest. So what about this? What about that? Our country is going to be strong again because of what we're doing, and this is not a sustainable model, what we're looking at. And I think very importantly, I had a great election. Won all seven swing states, won millions and millions of votes. Won millions of votes. They say it was the most consequential election in 129 years. I don't know if that's right, but it was certainly a big win, and that's despite cheating that took place, by the way, because there was plenty of cheating that took place.

This and the CFPB.  Could there be any more blatant signal that Trump and his government do not give one single solitary fuck about consumers?

Exclusive: DOJ memo reveals blueprint to target Venezuelan gang

  • It provides directives to front-line officers apprehending suspected Tren de Aragua members, suggesting officers obtain a warrant of apprehension and removal “as much as practicable.” Those administrative warrants are signed by immigration officers, not judges like criminal warrants.
  • Due to a “dynamic nature of law enforcement procedures” officers are free to "apprehend aliens" based on their “reasonable belief” they meet the definitions, the memo states.
  • It purports to grant authority for police to enter a suspected "Alien Enemy’s residence" if “circumstances render it impracticable” to first obtain a warrant.

sure, but that's not really the point, is it?  it's just the threat of being arrested that will deter people from assisting immigrants. a fucking judge got arrested. Joe Plumber isn't gonna stick his neck out. whether the charges actually stick is beside the point.

Kash deleted the post but the arrest is real.

If that was all there was to it, the dotard wouldn’t be President today. Try again. 

What? Damn near every elected Republican cowered to him. That's why he’s in office. If only a handful of them would actually standup, he would’ve been removed from office during one of his prior impeachments. They could also do it now. Or, they could just do their jobs and cut out this tariff bullshit, pass some laws re: immigration and deportation, laws to make it even more clear that due process fucking matters. They could do something to get more gear and equipment to Ukraine. I can go on for days. They simply aren’t standing up to the bully.

But we’re all ill informed now because the FDA isn’t reporting on outbreaks anymore. You’ll just have to rely on word of mouth. Might just have to give up chicken for the foreseeable future

A whole lot of this. It’s a counterpart to the strategy of loudly moaning with pleasure when they aggressively pat you down. You can fake sounding orgasmic when they touch you. I mean, I don’t have to fake it, but you can.

I took a Viagra before a flight once. The wand bumped my raging boner.

Why would they stand up to him? Almost all of them are on board with P2025 and this path. He’s not a bully - he’s on their side.

At this point even if he was impeached in Congress and convicted for removal, who would enforce the removal? He would just say no and then it's a standoff. It's why having the president have control over who heads the justice department, the FBI, the intelligence communities, and the military was ridiculously fucking stupid. 

We are at a point where only force will remove this fascism.

Kamala stood up to him and dragged his ass for a full 90 minutes straight to his face at the debate.  It didn’t mean shit.

Try again.
