US Elections (& Politics) :)

Trump started a war that the Gulf states didn't ask for and then turned out to be unable to hold up a century long agreement to defend them and just watched them get pummeled by drones and missiles for over a month. Now he wants to make them do a shotgun marriage to the most extreme Israeli government in history which I'm sure they're going to love even more.

He's fucked things up so bad he's desperate for a way out.
Most incompetent piece of shit President in the history of the country.

I look at this MAGA thing differently, that I'm still MAGA but Trump left it shortly after the 2nd term started.

Fair. But we know now it was a sales pitch. Fake. A con.
I use the term primarily for cult followers who even now, with all that is out there about Trumps unashamed outright corruption, consistent almost pathological lying, stupid and costly ME war, ignoring of the deteriorating economy, insulting and distancing practically every ally, pardons for convicted big time fraud criminals while promising to curb fraud, blatant over the top narcissism, and decisions that get walked back due to inept and self-dealing leadership, … still clap like trained seals when he says something like “dumocrats”. As if somehow that negates all of the rest.
That’s early teen thinking based on emotion and the lies that somehow Trump alone can magically take us all back to 1956 prosperity if we just trust the plan and get rid of anyone not Anglo Saxon white.
As he gets bolder his sheer disdain for average Americans is showing almost daily. He thinks you’re stupid. (See the last dozen or two posts) Example: He actually put out a post today portraying himself as a “RINO” killer, then hours later pumps up Lindsey Graham as the second coming.
I don’t believe the country will survive his Presidency. I mean that the anti-Constitutional precedents and corruption that he’s set, the complete International relations failure, and the gutting of many of the essential services of government, let alone his head in the sand approach to our economy, will reverberate for the next 10-20 years in a very bad way.
There’s absolutely nothing good about him or where he’s taking the country.
It’s like an old tired rerun of the Lone Ranger where it ends happily ever after for all involved if you just believe, then the show’s over and nothing has changed. Instead it’s a make believe Presidency full of promises that no sane person believes and one liner teenage rhetoric to try to appear strong in place of intelligent thoughtful strong leadership.
GI Joe meets Call of Duty seems to be the desired rally cry for those pathetic souls who cling on to some lost fantasy of “the way it used to be” and to give meaning to their empty vision of America before the Internet exposed the whole ugly truth.

The entire government is corrupt beyond repair and we have a Grifter-in-Chief encouraging it and setting the example...

Former CIA senior official David Rush — a top manager with top-secret clearance — has been arrested after the FBI found him hoarding 303 gold bars worth over $40M, $2M in U.S. currency, and 35 luxury watches (mostly Rolexes) at his Fairfax County, Virginia home, according to the New York Times. Rush allegedly requested the massive haul of gold and cash from the agency for supposed “work-related expenses” — then stole it for himself while submitting fraudulent time sheets and inflating his credentials (including a fake Navy pilot background) to pocket extra pay.

You may see clips of Trump’s self-evident dementia, but the full effect requires stamina.
Here is NINE MINUTES of Trump talking about his fountains in a Cabinet meeting.
Try to read it. I dare you.
“D.C. and D.C. is looking beautiful. The fountains are almost all open. We had 28 of them, and we have one in particular, a very long lake, we call it. They're reflecting lake between the Lincoln Monument. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. You take a look at between Lincoln and Washington. You have the longest, like 2,400 feet long. That's longer than the tallest building in the world, if you set it on your side. And it's almost 200 feet wide. And for-- actually, it was built in 1922. And from 1920 to '21, it really never worked. It always leaked. And it was a problem about things. And hundreds of millions was spent. The Biden administration and the Obama administration spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get it to work, and they failed. And we'll be spending-- you'll give me a number. But I think it's very low numbers, like in the number that we originally talked about. Where we cleaned it, we fumigated it, that we had 10 major truck dumpsters of garbage taken out. Can you believe it? Friend of mine came in. Very substantial person from Germany. Want to see the Washington Monument. I wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial. He said, I look, but that horrible reflecting pond is disgusting. It's filthy dirty and disgusting. I said, really, I drove down. I said, secret shares was taken dry. And we went down. I said, that's terrible. And for the most part, it didn't work. I mean, they wouldn't even have water in there. But when they did, it was just dirty, filthy water that leaked out. And we got to work on it. And they were supposed to cost almost 400, think of it, 400 million dollars, because it's like putting the skin on a skyscraper. But bigger, much bigger, many skyscrapers, you could almost say, other than for the world. So I think of it, the world's tallest skyscraper is shorter than 2,400 feet. So we went to work. And over the years, I built hundreds of pools. I built them every time I built them. I always like to build the Olympic size swimming pools. And I was very aware of swimming pool, what goes into making a swimming pool. It's not as simple as people think. You never wanted to leak. You want a beautiful surface. I said, you know, I have an idea, Doug. We sat down. I said, let's take that long thing where we're going to fix it with concrete, which leaks, concrete, all sorts of other materials that all leak and don't look good. They're gray. And swimming pool, I have a swimming pool right up the road. I built it 22 years ago. It's perfect. I said, does it ever leak, though? It's good contractors. I actually called it a couple of the contractors, got some ideas from them. And I gave it to Doug and Doug's done an unbelievable job. And so they were going to spend maybe 400 million dollars. I don't know. You never know with cost overruns and everything. But it was going to take years to build three years, four years. And we'll have it done before July 4th substantially, before July 4th. If we didn't have such a bad weather the last four or five days, it could have been almost done. We have to-- you can't do this substance in the rain. And what they did is they cleaned it. They took out, as I said, more than 10 dumpsters of garbage. Shovels, it was disgusting. Well, every corner, every corner, had massive amounts of-- I guess that's the way the tide goes. But at massive amounts of garbage, we then steamed clean it. We then sandblasted it. And then we pebble blasted. That's a bigger version of sand. We made the surface as good as it can be. Now we're now covering it with the most beautiful blue. Very thick, you think of it as a very sophisticated form of rubber. No leaks, no problems. And it's beautiful. It's called American Flag Blue that was the color we chose

But, but, but....
I was told we kidnapped him to bring him to Justice?
Can someone from MAGA 'splain this to me?
The Trump administration has reportedly instructed prosecutors to step back from pursuing the Venezuelan leader, according to the Associated Press.

Watching the slow motion collapse of the Republic is stunning.
Elites too dumb & too corrupt to think. Government officials loot the treasury & the populace as institutions crumble.
People zombified by screens & overstimulation. Everyone knows it's happening but proceeds anyway.

I'm more optimistic that that, even though the damage is severe. With the way the congress and voters are, nothing short of a major crisis will change the direction of the ship, and he's sure helping that crisis to happen. It would have anyway with the continued deficit spending, DJT is just helping to bring it about sooner. Now what if he hadn't been elected? We'd continue to be overrun with illegals, which surely IMO would have ended the USA. Then again, we're already ruled by Israel. I think a great step would be to not allow anybody with non-US or dual citizenship to hold any federal office. So many different factors make it a less than simple situation.
