โWe realized after the fact. What the hell are we doing shutting down the beaches & open areas & not understanding that early on?โ Gavin Newsom, gaslighting, and rewriting history
@theCTwelve When he talks about โmutual respectโ all I can do is laugh. Like the mutual respect the world has shown the US tax payer as they fleece us for all their defense and pet projects? Mmmkay
@micsolana Itโs not the answer to soc sec but it IS the answer to student loans. No need for loans for college if you have a Trump account. Forces downward price pressure on schools & only once Trump acct funds are exhausted can students borrow. Students have skin in the game up front
@mtaibbi@mtaibbi Newsome does this because heโs a complete sociopath. He truly believes this to be true in the moment he is saying this regardless of reality.
@chamath This is where the Trump baby account ta come in- after this clean up. These baby accounts cost far less than student loans and create downward pressure on higher ed to control costs better and offer education that is directly related to labor force demands.
Reading every note you send me. โค๏ธReally overwhelming and unexpected response to this piece. So many heartbreaking stories of losing friends or family for normie beliefs like thinking men & women are different or supporting Israel(!?) or voting the wrong way. Tragic.
I used to view Donald Trump simply as a solid, effective president... someone who delivered results on the economy, borders, and foreign policy without all the usual political polish.
But over time, I've come to see something much bigger: the entire American political system has been rotten and corrupt for decades. It's not just isolated scandals or bad actors; it's a deeply entrenched network of career politicians, unelected bureaucrats, lobbyists, intelligence agencies, and media gatekeepers who operate as a self-protecting "uniparty" or "swamp."
They prioritize their own power, insider deals, endless wars, and special interests over the actual needs of everyday Americans. Elections often feel like theater, with the same outcomes no matter who winsโmore debt, more control, more erosion of freedoms.
What sets Trump apart is that he's the only major figure in modern politics who's truly taken on that machine head-on and actually shaken it. Previous leaders talked tough about reform but ultimately played along with the system, got rich from it, or were too tied into it to challenge it meaningfully.
Donald Trump, as a DC outsider who didn't need their approval or their money, has exposed the corruption, fought back against weaponized institutions, and forced the hidden power structures into the open... even when it meant relentless attacks, impeachments, indictments, and lawfare aimed directly at him and his children.
He's far from perfect, and the battle is far from over, but for the first time in my lifetime, someone has genuinely threatened the status quo and refused to back down. That's why the pushback against him has been so ferocious: he represents the real possibility of dismantling the corrupt system rather than just managing it.
To me, supporting him now isn't just about one good presidency... it's about finally having a fighter who's willing to take on the whole rigged game for the sake of the country, and God help us if he fails.
@DSPetolicchio She needs to go to church, kneel in the front row and say about 3 dozen rosaries and pray that God will give her humility, obedience, and soften her heart. She clearly didnโt have a Catholic upbringing to think she could ever be so disrespectful to a man of the cloth.
@MasterMaliq@Katherine_deves If itโs simply a choice can you explain why you DONโT choose to wear this ridiculous get up? I mean, weโd all love to hear why you think thatโs not an acceptable โchoiceโ for you
I was 9 when Iranian revolutionaries kidnapped and held Americans for 444 days. 4 decades of jihad terror. I remember the national anguish-yellow ribbons every where, news casts every night. Today, perhaps we can embrace a new Iran. #Trumpdoctrine itโs a new day #peace
๐จTRUMP: "I don't like taking a shower where the water goes drip...drip...drip...onto my luxuriant hair. I need a lot of water. I need everything I can get. I don't need to be under a shower trying to get water to come out of that damn thing!" ๐๐๐
@friedberg@seanfenlon@RoKhanna@chamath No, thank you. Thank you for standing against this corrupt tyranny. It matters. I fled CA post Covid bc I have limited resources but could see this BS coming a mile away. It wonโt just be the billionaires and we all know it.
