His solution to the affordability problem is to tell everyone that it's not actually a problem. Our draining bank accounts are fake news.

Yeah they don't have a problem with all the suffering they're causing. They just don't like that it may hurt them politically.

Republicans like nothing more than creating problems and acting like they're the only ones that can fix them.

I'm sure they're planning to hold the president accountable and will make sure to do the right thing for the American people oh dear god what am I even saying.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

We'll be dealing with the enemies this administration is creating long after this administration is gone.

1. Start war and tell the country it was necessary because we're under imminent threat.

2. Steer lucrative defense contracts to your rich buddies in exchange for political donations.

3. Use donations to win elections.

4. Repeat.

He just changes a few words and country names and releases the same comment every time he starts a new conflict. It's like Mad Libs for dictators.

The costs of supporting Israel’s war on Iran:

- Dead American soldiers
- Dead elementary schoolgirls
- Over $1 Billion/day for combat ops
- Soaring gas prices
- Tanking markets
- Betrayed GCC allies
- Another constitutional crisis

…and growing.

Yeah I don't think any one thing is planned to distract from another thing. They just want to overwhelm us with so much bullshit that we can't keep up with any of it. It's the firehose of autocracy.

Funny how he says "we", as if Congress hasn't abdicated all their decision making powers to one man. He has no clue what's gonna happen. His job is to support whatever does happen.

Active duty military members should take note of how poorly they treat military vets before they agree to follow any illegal orders. They'll be tossed aside, or worse, as soon as they no longer serve them any purpose.

In one month it'll cost the same as it would've cost to extend the ACA subsidies for an entire year.

"Count me out." ~ Lindsey Graham, 1/6/21

"Let me back in." ~ Lindsey Graham, every day since

Two "leaders" that are almost 80 years old are intent on burning the world down on their way out the door.

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

If anyone deserves one, it's him. Watching this guy talk all day must be exhausting.

This is the Golden Age in America for billionaires, pedophiles, and white collar criminals. Bonus if you're all three.

We'll be dealing with the enemies this administration is creating all over the world long after this administration is gone.

This. Every damn bit of it.

Republicans are realizing that they cannot survive in a world without war because it means they're unable to give lucrative defense contracts to their rich buddies in exchange for political donations.

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

Stephen Miller is never gonna be able to solve his average-guy-from-Camden-New-Jersey-who-has-never-protested-but-just-saw-ICE-hurt-children problem. That's not solvable for him

I think if they were actually planning to do all these things they wouldn't be telegraphing the plans 8 months in advance and giving everyone time to come up with ways to fight back. They would keep it silent and just pounce on election day.

Yep. He issued a similar executive order almost a year ago and it's been pretty much laughed out of the courts. People need to stop with their "all hope is lost" bullshit.

I hope they now see that sitting on the sidelines is no longer an option.

Good to see that young people are realizing that the entirety of their adult lives has been dominated by an attention-seeking narcissist who would gladly destroy their future if it helped him succeed today.
