Elder millennial human, a walking thinking future dinosaur, the last generation on Earth to see the days before the internet. Thoughtfully moving through life, typing out loud about American culture and politics and yada yada yada.
He is a nepo baby in the sense of taking over his family’s plumbing business and also benefiting from the big man with a beard syndrome that is the Republican Party these days.
Very on brand for Republicans to get what they voted for and be in control of all branches of govt and still be miserable and dissatisfied.
Hegseth is a soap opera actor version of George C. Scott in Patton.
“I understand the meaning of the words you are saying but it doesn't make any sense.”
… and Trump grift, or attorneys to defend his illegal acts, and this insane spending by DoD, etc etc.
Crazy how many Republicans including to me personally say they don’t want to pay for things like food and etc assistance for low income people or “sending money to Africa” because the money is better spent by them personally or on Americans…
Yet they earnestly accept and excuse spending it on war.
I am never out of outrage.
Republicans voters are Pavlov’s Dog.
Really really.
Woke mapping = black people are represented? I assume.
Crazy how Trump thinks he’s the only one willing to go the distance, even after all the bombing and killing he’s ordered.
They always play the hits, makes their base feel comfortable and terrified at the same time.
It’s called intelligence…
If they pitch it to Republican voters as saving money on sending people to the camps, might gain a few polling points.
Here is $5 for your $900 MRI.
Here is $100 for your $10,000 surgery.
Fucking ridiculous.
And Trump’s social media co merged or whatever with a nuclear fusion company.
And Republicans are of course silent.
This is another reason why these grifters can’t lose the midterms. They’ll be Hunter Bidened (subpoenaed) for sure.
I can only imagine the glut of lobbying money being poured into currying Trump’s favor for any of these options…
Disgusting
Some people that said we just need to wait a month, I mean 4 months, I mean 6, a year… for tariffs to start paying off.
Fool me 35,000 times, shame on, ya got, ya can’t…
Unbelievable the amount of lift in memory holing this shit that Trump voters were able to accomplish.
Reminder that as gas prices rise exponentially people who commute to work are essentially taking a pay cut.
As are people who drive for a living.
And those with businesses that involve commute to job sites like construction etc etc.
I’m more disgusted that he even has the nerve to be there when he explicitly got these soldiers killed by choice after explicitly campaigning on not sending soldiers to die.
More disrespectful than wearing a hat while attending.
This is why they don’t think it’s a “war”.
A war to them is more evenly matched.
Which of course isn’t how words, or wars, work.
“As planned” the movie is on prime, not because they can only show it in empty theaters for just so long.
First more snowfall than The Blizzard of 78, now this.
What the fuck.
It seems to me many Gen X men like to complain about not wanting to “pay for” anything for other people, so they can feel like a big man making big money.
Even and especially when they’re just regular middle class middle wage earners.
❤️
Yes they said the Medicaid fraud was by the same guys they convinced to vote for them.
The message is now that paying more for everything especially gas is “patriotic”.
Their messaging having its intended effects.
