When criminal malfeasance gets obscenely rewarded instead of being deterred by jail punishments as it should be.

(19,712 posts)the "Art" of making everything someone else's fault. Right now, they prattle on about it being Biden's economy, unless things are going well, in which case it is his, all his "100% his brilliance". (Typing that last bit almost made me throw up)
If a Democrat is elected president after that orange piece of excrement, it's all the new president's fault, from election day forward, all that other guy's fault!
If a Republican is elected, it's still Joe Biden's fault.
And the media will relentlessly parrot whatever they are told to say until the majority believes it.
Especially now that the media is mostly owned by billionaires.
ETA: But, YES, this is going to fuck over all of us who aren't billionaires. Every last one of us and the millionaires are going to figure out fast that they are not rich enough to matter either.

(5,440 posts)1) What happened to the DOGE savings?
2) Where's the tariff money? Is it being returned?
3) Why can't Trump cancel his vanity projects - ballroom, Kennedy Center makeover, arch? That's private money he can redirect to the military.

(27 posts)For Example
1. Free Education - PreK through College - Including meals
2. Govt Healthcare - Fully funded
the list needs to be HUGE.
Because my entire life I have seen Repukes make outlandish requests. These requests then become the baseline for negotiations, thus we get tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs. We have to stop this NOW!

(65,916 posts)I wonder if it is because of the assholes cuts? Because mom and I should have qualified.
PECO stacked bills on after not sending them which led to trouble.
Some good news is we finally sold the house, so well have some money for these bills in early May.

(7,377 posts)Dept of Defense could not account for billions missing before the Iran attack. Now there will be trillions missing if Trump and Hegseth are not removed.
I thought it was odd when Lindsay Graham said we are all going to get rich due to the war
..I guess we meant Trump and his small circle of friends.
Rank and file MAGAs will be left holding the bag of debt along with the rest of us
The way out of the mess: Get out of Iran, no increase in military budget.
