Every Trump debacle follows the same 13 steps. The reflecting pool fiasco is just one of the lower stakes versions of it.
1. Devise unnecessary spectacle
2. Disregard expertise
3. Bypass normal procedures
4. Declare victory too early (bonus if done by AI-slop post)
5. Spend way more than estimated
6. Ignore the haters
7. Realize it is not going well
8. Bypass normal procedures once again
9. Allege conspiracy and sabotage
10. Redeclare victory
11. More blaming
12. Losing interest
13. Pretend it never happened, and move on to the next thing
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT IF YOU CRITICIZED 2.9% INFLATION UNDER PRESIDENT BIDEN BUT THINK 4.2% UNDER TRUMP IS NO BIG DEAL.... FACE IT YOU'RE IN A FUCKING CULT 🤷
When the Court overturned Roe, one thought kept running through my mind: Women of this generation were about to lose rights that previous generations had fought to secure.
Four years later, we have seen exactly what that looks like — chaos, confusion, fear. Women denied care. Doctors threatened for providing it.
But we have seen something else: The American people refuse to accept that this is the future.
These are difficult times, but our fight continues.
Anybody else have friends that all of a sudden are smarter via text and email, but same in person? Wait'll they figure a way to Cyrano that "fraudtelligence".
Trump on UFC Fighter Bo Nickal: I'm a similar size. I weigh more than he does actually. So therefore I have a tremendous physical advantage. His muscles are slightly harder and slightly younger but I think I can do it because I'm a great athlete. He knows I'm a very good golfer.
