Portlandia is interesting because it was clearly produced by libs but it’s one of the few examples of them being able to earnestly, accurately satirize themselves in an actually funny way without still trying to force through a message
A little shocking to watch a CNBC anchor ask such passive questions of a sitting president’s billion dollar profiteering and then blithely accept his use of “we” to describe his own personal enrichment as if it benefits America
Psaki: Now, in order to put on this celebration, Trump is using $68 million of taxpayer money. At least some of that money is being paid to a company called Event Strategies Incorporated. It's run by a group of Trump allies. We don't know how responsible they are for the 68 million of your tax dollars going towards this event. But so far, that money has paid for a janky ferris wheel plagued by power outages, a couple of tents with chairs in them, a temu version of Trump's planned arch, which appears to be falling apart and seems like it's being held together with a slapdash sealant job and, of course, some bizarre entertainment, half of which seems to just be Trump officials sitting on stage, basically filling the time. So how much of that $68 million actually went to the state fair, and how much to Event Strategies Incorporated did they get to keep for themselves?
The Trump administration appears to be wiping pages from the Dept. of Energy's site that instruct people to set their thermostats to 78 degrees during warmer days...just as Zohran Mamdani did.
