Legit/real or not, WH tweet leaks are fantastic entertainment...

Exactly. Salt the ground they walk on. The era of free-rides for Republican criminal governing needs to be over

I just watched the Frontline from last year on Flint MI water - how the lead poisoning wasn't even the first identified problem, it was Legionnaire's Disease outbreaks. And all the MAGA-esque tactics used by GOP-controlled exec branch f****d those people over.

In retrospect, that looks eerily like the same stuff the federal government is doing on Covid-19. And I suspect the result will be the same: a LOT more dead and permanently impacted people (survivors who end up with lots of health problems).

Another example of complete lack of oversight and probably not coincidental that it is a Republican administration. But incompetence knows no individual political party. I just think the similarities then (locally) and now (nationally) are striking.

So, he's back to firing people who are there to keep him in line. The fact that the Senate won't do anything about it should be the biggest scandal in US history.

While completely worthless as anything but a historical footnote, it would be hilarious for another Impeachment to occur. Give Trump something to brag about..."I'm the only POTUS to be impeached TWICE. Great, great things"

There are certainly enough reasons to do this and I believe that if Trump manages to steal the election in November but the House stays in Democratic hands you will see another impeachment trial in his second term. This time, they won't try to rush it though and would likely try to consume most of his second term forcing him to deal with it. They would force court cases on subpoena's and all these things they really should have done last time but didn't. Not that it would make any difference with this Supreme Court.
 
We killed 100,000 people, because "we didn't want to spook the markets".

Holy Shitballz

EDIT: Someone w/ fewer MAGA-Ignores, start this in its own thread. Pull quotes from the FT article, because they are extraordinarily damning.

See, the biggest problem with MAGAs are that they think Trump loves them. No, he doesn't, he hates them and would never be caught dead with them if he couldn't use them for something. And he is perfectly willing to sacrifice them, and anyone else, to get his way and help himself.
 
Ironically, it’s arguably nostalgia for the 50s that is a lot of what’s baked into the concept of MAGA.

Well, MAGAs are white, and the 1950s were one of the best, most successful eras for (middle class) whites in our history. Literally everyone else? Not so much. And that's the draw

Shocking!!

When has he ever paid his bills? He has a long history of not paying money owed to contractors.

I can fess to this. This, alone, should be enough to squash support of him. The very people who support him are the ones who like to belch things like, “everybody should pay their fair share,” or, “why should I have to pay for someone else’s healthcare,” and the like. Meanwhile, Trump is a well-known piece of shit grifter. There is a thread in the Lounge about DJK. Among other things, it trashes him for trying to get out of bar tabs. I suspect some of those trashing DJK are, without any sense of irony, supporting/defending Trump.

Well, yeah, but they fail to see how our tax policy and, while horribly inequitable and arguably quite racist, our “socialist” investments was the foundation of all that success.
