What do you call the head of a government who has all the its levers, who will silence the press, who will seek retribution from his political opponents, who heads a cult and demands loyalty to him and not the country, who openly commits crimes, and who spews a constant stream of lies? A dictator!
This has always been Drumpf's MO. Over promise to get elected and then under deliver once he gets in. This man has a proven track record as a world class liar so why people continue to fall for his shtick is mystifying.
Unrelated question. I have seen articles about Substack monetizing Nazis and celebrating more rightwing voices. Does Substack make money off of my subscription to The Big Picture?
Why are we here, even, indulging a con, a grifter, a likely traitor, a two-dimensional caricature of a barely-literate person who denigrates and belittles the systems over which he would rule, who lacks decorum, decency, humor or nuance, overtly courts money and beds with those who stand in stark opposition to the entire ideology of our nation???
Shame on us once, double shame on us now, and enduring dishonor upon us all for standing idly by now waiting for the sky to fall while our captors play with exploding phallic toys and cavort with their accomplices.
Everyone should be on the fence about action following the promises Trump has made. He acts out of selfishness, egotism, uninformed thinking, proto capitalist, and of course, free flowing deception. On a wing and a prayer Ihope he deeply considers the effects his decisions impact the American people, that he puts patriotism and nationalism before politically dependent decision making.
I'm sorry but I'm tired of being sad and I'm tired of being afraid. I'm just mad now. Anyone who is surprised by trump's "backtracking" or modifying or just plain renouncing his campaign promises is a moron with an IQ, on a good day, maybe approaching double digits. These are the people who proudly paraded the confederate flag through the Capital of the United States. These are the people who marched in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us". These are the people who held up signs at the rnc convention calling for "mass deportation now." These are the people who believed the immigrants were eating their neighbors cats and dogs. These are the people who cheer by their deafening silence the deaths of innocent women denied life saving treatment by a malignant supreme court and subsequent bloodthirsty state legislatures. These are the people who are deaf, dumb and blind in response to every child mowed down in the killing fields once known as schools.
I have nothing in common with these people. I am no longer interested in useless, dead end conciliatory conversations with them. It has become exhausting pretending that they are not what reason reveals them to be (included in the "them" are family members and friends, unfortunately). The sad reality is that they have been with us since the beginning of the republic and will be with us at the end. My sole goal is to electorally drive them back under the rocks and into the sewers from which they came.
The whitewash continues. Presidentialization of the Candidate progresses. These things are hard, especially when opposed by the enemies within. The last traces of counterrevolutionaries in the GOP need to be purged.
Look, there are only about a million people who matter; and the hordes of the invisible, who loved being talked to as though they matter.
That’s over now. It’s time to consolidate the Presidency of the Million, who waved away the chin music, and get down to doing business. Power needs no ideology. Ideologues get an ice axe in the head, like Trotsky did. Ideologues are boring, a downer. Pure power, wealth and power.
Should be no surprise to anyone... tffg in the first go-round was already lying before he was even elected. I used to say, "how do you know when he's lying? when his lips are moving."
One significant correction: Cheetolini did NOT "Force ABC to settle", that was abject cowardice on the part of the corrupt scum running ABC/Disney. The losers sold out democracy and the First Amendment (on a VERY easily winnable case) as a cover for open bribery.

A request: Stop Including Pix of Trump in your posts. We all know what he looks like. There's no need to shove his face in ours. Thank you.

One request, please, please refrain from posting any photos of him.
It's called lying, not "walking back."
F*ck djt. Maybe he will leave this realm before January 20th.

I am SHOCKED that a pathological liar might renege on campaign promises. Shocked that it took him so long. Kleptocracy government
Why would this surprise anyone? He’s a serial liar who is inept in life.

Trump doesn't care. He is too busy making deals on our backs and on our future generations.
