Just about the only people who are surprised are also people who don’t object.

It’s almost like cutting spending was never the actual plan, and they were more likely using that as a smokescreen for ideologically guided attacks on institutions they disagreed with.

Well he’s alive enough to continue actively fucking up our country, so that right there deserves a national day of mourning.

Maybe that claim would hold water if there was any evidence at all that Trump wasn’t a brain damaged idiot spiraling into senility. It stops being pretending when every single appearance, every interview, every second of contact, every policy enacted, every opinion presented, and every decision made are all exactly what a complete idiot would do. He’s not playing 4D Chess, he doesn’t have some secret master plan, he’s a pants shitting moron who’s hateful rhetoric and willingness to punch down appealed to the low end of the bell curve and got them excited enough to vote.

With all of the absolutely blatant market manipulation he’s done just since he took office, one more charge isn’t going to mean shit when there haven’t been any consequences yet, and probably won’t be any time soon if ever. Anyone else breaking the law this openly and this often would in the very least be in jail without bail awaiting trial, if not already firmly in prison.

But remember guys, both sides! ^/s

This will be fine. Everyone knows that cutting costs and corners to make a buck works, and airplane repair is a hugely expensive and time consuming process! There HAVE to be corners to cut! Why are you replacing that part? Just give it a spit shine and stick it back on, good as new! Does that thing move when it’s not supposed to? Slap some duct tape on there, it’ll be fine. Was it supposed to move and it doesn’t? An overhaul is so expensive, just hit it with WD-40 and you’re clear for takeoff! And hey, next time a plane crashes, get a couple of flatbeds out there ASAP and grab up all those free replacement parts scattered among the bodies!

We thought that would happen after the first Trump term, but here we are.

He’s absolutely the kind of person who would think the only reason anyone would ever act like they hate him is because they’re being paid to do so. He can’t imagine anyone not really thinking he’s as great as he thinks he is.
