    What goes around, comes around.

    Every good maga supports trump unconditionally, until his actions hit them where it hurts. Then they can deal with the resulting cognitive dissonance by whining about how they were deceived. All they had to do was turn off Fox News, but nooooooo...

    I had some friends that had Fox " news " on all day every day. When I showed up to visit them ---they would turn it off immediately. :D:cool:

    Everyday I read stories from dozens of legitimate journalistic sources.

    People who only get their news from limited sources, especially if they Only cover US politics are not really getting news but biased opinions of oligarchs who own the media outlets. In other words billionaires who just want to brainwash the masses so they can have their way.

    If some maga people are here it's usually just to troll us. That's getting more difficult for them every day that Trump stays in power trashing the Constitution, accepting bribes from foreign governments, acting like a dictator, etc ...

    LOL! That’s hilarious! They definitely knew they were guilty for buying into that crap. The “Lying Channel” as Lawrence O’Donnell from MSNBC would call “Fox News”

    NY Post, Wall St Journal and Fox are all owned by the Murdocks.

    Is Amerika great again yet?

    No. And it likely never will be. It is in the waning stage of its lifecycle. Attempts to bring back industrial production will be undermined by the rentier classes as unprofitable, barbarian, anti-environmental, racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, and as many more thoroughly-indoctrinated evil beliefs as are necessary to convince the masses that they really do prefer to live in a declining civilization.

    How do you feel about Trump selling Teslers on the white House lawn?

    Mildly entertained if I had bothered to watch it.

    How do you feel about sending an innocent man to an El Salvador prison?

    Are we able to define a “man”? We can’t seem to define a “woman”. Besides, all men are evil and certainly not innocent and should be punished for the sins of their forefathers, and even other people’s forefathers. So “down with the patriarchy” and to hell with that man, if he is a man. If he identifies as a woman then we should probably insist that they transfer him to a woman’s prison.

    How do you feel about Trump calling Canada one of the nastiest countries to deal with? Canada?

    Having spent a lot of time in that country, I’m inclined to agree. While the government of Canada is much worse than the citizenry, Canadians are, in general, pretentiously condescending. They tend to believe they are morally and intellectually superior to Americans. It is a self serving bias that they reinforce by assuring each other that it is so.

    How do you feel about Trump canceling 2.2 billion in funds to Harvard because they believe in free speech?

    It wasn’t really about free speech. We all know that. They allowed criticism of those who may not be criticized. These are the rules. One may not like it but one would be well advised to not break it.

    How do you feel about Trump threatening to take over Greenland by force if necessary?

    I suspect it may be for the shock value. Liberals yearn for a reason to clutch their pearls. Give them an outrageous one so you can get on with the real work while they’re otherwise occupied.

    And the Panama Canal?

    Meh. Don’t care. Probably shouldn’t have given it up in the first place. Besides, it’s been a few years since we invaded a country to “make the world safe for (our version of) democracy”. The warmongers must be jonesing pretty bad. Come on, throw them a bone.

    And Canada?

    Canada has already been conquered by India and china. Don’t care. Do what you want. I heard they have WMD and the CIA will probably confirm that they have used them against their own people. Maybe we should accuse them of crimes against humanity.

    How do you feel about Trump turning Gaza into a resort?

    If we must be involved in the region, this is as good an idea as any other and no worse than what has been done to those people for the last 80 years. Otherwise; don’t care.

    How do you feel about Trump not ending the Ukrainian war on day one?

    Disappointed but it’s not as though he had a chance anyway. If TPTB wanted the war to end, it would end. Clearly they do not. If he were to somehow effect an end to that war, he would likely be assassinated. Can’t blame him for wishing to continue to exist.

    How do you feel about the price of eggs?

    Inflation is (almost) entirely created by government spending and (private) central banking. I can’t advocate for punishing central bankers because “those who may not be criticized”. So I will pretend that I believe that electing some politician from either the left or the right wing of the war party will one day cure inflation.

    How do you feel about a 10% tariff on every country in the world except Russia?

    Don’t know. That sounds like “Russian disinformation” to me. Does Putin have some dirt on you? Why are you talking about this?

    How do you feel about Trump putting a tariff on land only inhabited by penguins?

    Fuck them penguins in their fancy tuxedos! I say we use the money we gain from those tariffs to subsidize a breeding program to create super-orcas. That’ll teach them flightless SOBs.

    How do you feel about Trump putting a 145% tariff on China?

    I forget; are we at war with Eurasia or East Asia? Whatever. As long as I can still buy cheap plastic crap to replace my other broken cheap plastic crap. That’s all that really matters.

    How do you feel about Trump putting the richest man in the world in a government position without approval by Congress?

    Are you trying to suggest that rich people buy influence and power via the government? I defy you to find even a single instance throughout all of human history of such a thing ever occurring.

    How do you feel about Trump's tariffs, no tariffs, some tariffs, tariffs again, partial tariffs, etc?

    I hate tariffs. I’m ALL about taxes. I love paying taxes. Income taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, various other sin taxes, property taxes, inheritance taxes. I’ve never found a tax I didn’t love paying. Wait, didn’t someone say tariffs are just another tax? Well then I love tariffs too. Give me more tariffs!

    How do you feel about Trump ending humanitarian aid?

    Hell yeah! Fuck those humans! Oh wait. Didn’t it really turn out that almost all of that humanitarian aid actually just went to employing the bureaucrats and contractors who were supposed to distribute the aid to all of the people who actually needed it but barely received a thing? Well, dang. I guess we should have elected the black Indian chick so those folks could have continued to barely receive a thing.

    What is a rentier class?

    How do you feel about Trump selling Teslers on the white House lawn?]
    You see no conflict of interest? You see amusement in turning the White House lawn into a car dealership?

    How do you feel about sending an innocent man to an El Salvador prison?
    It would be nice to have a rational discussion with you.....

    How do you feel about Trump calling Canada one of the nastiest countries to deal with? Canada?
    Sounds like you're talking about the MAGA U.S.

    How do you feel about Trump canceling 2.2 billion in funds to Harvard because they believe in free speech?
    Yes, yes it was about free speech.

    How do you feel about Trump threatening to take over Greenland by force if necessary?
    Another nonsense reply. Trump threatens a sovereign nation with invasion...but he's just joking....

    And the Panama Canal?
    So you like war.

    And Canada?
    Maybe you don't know what you're talking about and just like to stir up trouble.

    How do you feel about Trump turning Gaza into a resort?
    You don't care about much do you.

    How do you feel about Trump not ending the Ukrainian war on day one?
    Can't blame him huh. You like wars.

    How do you feel about the price of eggs?
    Ever hear of avian flu?

    How do you feel about a 10% tariff on every country in the world except Russia?
    What are you talking about?

    How do you feel about Trump putting a tariff on land only inhabited by penguins?
    Enough I see you aren't serious.

    You had to get all the way to end to realize I wasn’t serious? Judging by your earlier responses to my comments, it’s hard to believe your ignorance isn’t feigned.

    Not only do I find amusement in the White House lawn being turned into a car dealership, but I think the only thing more apropos would be to turn it, along with the House of Representatives into a brothel.

    Agreed. And the senate chamber may as well be turned into a bar. It’s already full of drunks.

    Yes, one could easily become embarrassed at backing a crooked, lying gangster if there were an alternative. I don’t recall such a candidate since Ron Paul, at least. And we saw how that went. Politics precludes honesty and vice-versa.

    Until the ever-elusive “benevolent dictator” captures the hearts of the masses as well as the reigns of power, we are destined to be ruled by corrupt liars. As such, when a real opportunity to do so, people will attempt to elect the lying gangster that they believe will screw them over the least.

    In the current case, the issue was decided, I believe, based on social and economic policy. Socially; normal people were tired of being told they were bad, just because they were not abnormal. Moreso, they were tired of being told that abnormality was normal and even desirable. Yes, I know, I’ve just offended a bunch of folks who will claim they are perfectly normal but yet will somehow identify that the label of abnormal somehow maliciously applies to them. So be it. It cannot be otherwise.

    Economically; the masses are fed up with wages being suppressed and never keeping up with inflation since 1971-72. They’re fed up with not being able to work at a job that will allow them to raise a family in comfort in a good, safe neighborhood. They’re tired of being told that they cost too much for us to make stuff here in this country and that their jobs need to be outsourced overseas or at least replaced with cheaper H1Bs.

    Basically, the working class vote was the leftists’ to lose and they not only lost it, they drove it gleefully screaming into the arms of trump. Maybe they will learn from this mistake but it doesn’t seem likely as long as they continue to condescend to the working class and to elevate depravity and deviance.

    Yeah, as soon as you said "no" to the Is America Great Again question, I assumed you were being facetious with the rest of the MAGA style rant.

    Many here look at MAGA as though it were a disease within the body politic. It is not. It is not even a symptom of the disease. It is more accurate to say that it is an immune response from the body politic. A body that has lived mistreated and malnourished for so long; it has finally mustered up an immune response to try to drive out, or at least back, the infection and decay that has taken hold over much of it.

    I suspect the patient is too far gone for there to be a full recovery. Also, as with a fever, we may mistakenly treat the symptom/response rather than let it run its full course and do what it naturally would to fight the infection; if it actually could effectively fight the infection.

    It’s all right. As it is with every generation, so it is with every civilization. We’ve had our run. Just as it was with those that rose and fell before us. And so it will be with those that rise and fall after ours.
