    Trump does this MAGA assuming it’s affecting only Democrats.

    MAGA: Good. They deserve it.

    Trump lies about disaster relief aid being given too slowly from the Biden administration to assumed MAGA states.

    MAGA:

      Definitely a contender, but only because so many enablers have given him an incredible amount of power. Otherwise, he’d be a pretty standard asshole businessman.

        I dunno mate… Even Bezo’s moved to more environmental packaging of his crap.

        Whereas Trump would blame the trees for causing global warming, and offer to package his chinese junk for extra money with a trading card made out of the suit he wore when he was engaging in the insurrection

    “The firefighters. They all came to me with tears streaming down their eyes. I remember Steve Buscemi was one of them. He was there,” recounted Fat Donald, “They said, ‘sir, we wanted to save them but they said they hate you. They were so mean.’ It was the biggest fire we’ve ever seen. So tremendous, nothing like it in history ever. We didn’t start these fires. It was always burning since the world’s been turning. Marciano, Liberace, Eisenhower, goodbye.“

    People will say “what about Gaza?” when it comes to Kamala. It blows my fucking mind that they think Trump or some fake third party vote will do anything.

    Trump cares about Trump and how much you will suck him off.

    This election is between two selections. Trump and Harris…Full Stop!

    “This is Trump country — and they need your help,” DeSantis pitched Trump.

    “They love me in the Panhandle,” the former president said. “I must have won 90 percent of the vote out there. Huge crowds. What do they need?” Shortly after the conversation took place, Trump signed an executive order commanding the federal government to cover “100 percent of the total eligible costs” related to the hurricane response.

    Shortly before he took it upon himself to politicize the response to Helene, the former president threatened to withhold aid for natural disasters from Democratic strongholds.

    “We won’t give him money to put out all his fires,” Trump said of California Governor Gavin Newson, a Democrat, in September. “And, if we don’t give him the money to put out his fires. He’s got problems. He’s a lousy governor.”

    Seriously wtf

      I think it’s more that on the national level we’ve come to associate CA with “Liberal” so it is seen as a whole, without consideration for nuance of specific areas.

      Nuance in my politics!? Get out of here!

    I’ll never understand how Trump cultists can read things like this and still think he is a good choice for President.

      Have you watched a few hours of Fox? They have talking heads just blatantly lying about everything. It’s insane. And these people only watch Fox, nothing else. It’s the only place they get their info from.

      I had to watch it for a couple days this week, and it was eye opening. It’s seriously a full blown propaganda machine.

        It’s so fucked up when trying to talk to people that only watch their primetime peanut gallery propaganda shit storm…

        I’ll never forget a conversation with my dad about fox. I told him “I won’t tell you not to watch Fox, watch it if you really want to, but stick to the actual journalist shows like Shepard Smith. The primetime shows are all opinion shows that just outright lie.”

        His response was “No, Shepard Smith is too opinionated. I prefer Hannity, he tells it like it is.”

        …the goddamn literal opinion show that has OPINION on the screen.

          Have you ever seen the “comedy” guy? It’s their version of a late night show, and holy shit. It’s not only not funny at all, as in the jokes are legit not jokes, but it’s incredibly mean spirited. It’s craziness. The guy doesn’t smile or laugh at all during the entire show. Zero expressions, except for a cold dead frown.

      Because while the concept “the cruelty is the point” doesn’t apply to every person who votes republican, it applies to a whole damn lot of them. Nearly every single one of the political actions taken by republicans that we have issue with: not feeding kids at school; trying to get rid of welfare, food stamps, assistance for people with newborns; not implementing healthcare for all; state level republicans targeting cities like Houston, Tx; Montgomery, Alabama; etc.; all comes down to them not wanting ‘those people’ to be helped.

      There are many many layers, conservative media and social groups and psychological barriers, that act like an immune system, all in place to prevent information like this from actually being seen or acknowledged.

      No information typically makes it past the first barrier, conservative media, which simultaneously floods the information channels with anti-left messaging. If it does, their social groups are there to discount it or kill it. If the information makes it past that, their brains are trained to resolve the cognitive dissonance to reject or disbelieve it.

      And that is why we’re really screwed. There’re things like this all the time that should be killing Trump’s candidacy. The system in place to prevent that is disturbingly effective.

    None of this is surprising. It feels like we hear shit like this every single day, and yet half the country still feels like they want this clown back in office.

    Propaganda is a helluva drug. Nancy Reagan would blush.
