I think there are a couple of people who could return... He's still on ok terms with Roger Stone and the guy who just got out of prison, right?
Remember when he said he knew the best people before he chose his cabinet for his first term?
I love that his biggest criticism of Biden was that he doesn't fire anyone. Firing someone means you failed to pick the right candidate. Biden didn't fire anyone because he made good choices. Trump always has to fire people because he has no judgement of character. He just goes with whoever compliments him in that moment.
as a non american in America I've come to find that's an American egregore: that firing people means you're a good leader.
and he killed his first choice for DOJ head: Jeffrey Epstein.
We haven't heard about Ivanka and Jared yet.
I was hoping the Never Trumpers, those scorned by Trump, and the Democrats could come together and say "We can't let Trump or anyone like him happen again."
But that would have made sense...
Feel like that on you for still having had hope
Guys not gonna lie I feel scared. I am not even American. I'm scared for all of you
I'm super scared for women
53% of white women voted trump
.4. He didn't pay them.
What's also crazy is that there are people lining up saying "Surely that won't also happen to me."
His fallout with RFK JR and Musk is gonna be epic.
I still haven't decided if making Leon and Vivek Co leads of DOGE is a dig at Leon or Vivek. I'm sure Leon thinks he's the "real" lead.
I never thought the leopards would eat MY face
They are playing a different game.
They are not swimming with sharks but are the scavengers that get the leftovers.
"Those people were losers. I am very smart so it won't happen to me"
actually the people coming back know that he demands loyalty. they might have to sell part of their soul to be loyal, but they know that up front and are committed to doing it.
"How much money can I steal from taxpayers before I get knifed in the back?"
Why does the political landscape of the supposed most powerful country in the world look more like what you'd expect if Charlie Brooker decided his next project was going to be a satirical gameshow? I want off this fucking timeline.
It's crazy that most of the country looked at that and said either "I want that" or "That's fine, I don't care".
A large chunk of the population gets their info from Fox News and News Max etc. Many of my extended family unfortunately. They think that is reliable information and can't be convinced otherwise. When I try to bring up facts they give me this look like I'm the crazy one spreading the lies. It's a really sad state of affairs, they are genuinely good people otherwise. I think there are too many assumptions that people just wanted what we're about to get.
Sorry no. If they voted for trump they’re not good people. They’re either assholes or too stupid to be making decisions for the country.
Anyone who votes for mass deportation is not a good person. Anyone who votes to take away health care from a huge chunk of the population is also not a good person.
It's an environment issue for them, their belief system and past experiences shape their decisions. The DNC had opportunities for real change and did not take them, and that feeds into the establishment/ "drain the swamp" rhetoric. Calling people stupid isn't going to help anything, they are heavily misinformed and tuned out living in a busy world. I don't give them a full pass here, but if we're going to change anything we need to figure out how to communicate with this segment and recognize their grievances.
They didn't look at that. This is the frustrating truth we have to come to terms with. People are fucking oblivious. They vote for a single issue at most, and don't understand what they signed up for.
It's brexit mentality. People voted for change from the status quo.
Most don't imagine that change ~~will~~ could make their lives worse.
It's almost like someone has been systematically dismantling your education system for 50 or so years so they could reach this point.
Right, the single issue voters that picked a color (likely due to family) and kept to it the rest of their lives
Yeah, oblivious sums it up. Despite all the stuff that’s happened, and all the information and video evidence that’s readily available to anybody who cares enough to look at it, their team is their team. If you fancy yourself a smart responsible Christian, especially a white one, your ignorant ass is just a Republican.
The amount of people who are horrified now that they've had tariffs explained to them is.. depressingly high.
They didn't wanna look up what a tarrif was before voting for Mr. Tariffs?
They just thought that was the magic word he was going to use to set gasoline prices back to what they were in 2016!

In his defense, he probably has some members of his family returning to positions in the white house.
Now that the divorce with Melania has gone through, I hear Ivanka is getting promoted to First Lady!
lol. Tbf I really wished that was true news about Melania. For a moment I started gaining respect for her.
Stephen fucking Miller is tapped to return. The administration is shaping up to be more detestable than I could imagine. I’m waiting to see where the bottom goes from Betsy DeVoes as secretary of edu
Bold of you to think there will be a DoE to need a secretary.
I’m thinking the shaman guy for secretary of education
I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t pick him

I get the first two. Who did he try to have killed?
Mike Pence
Hey, congratulations on forgetting him, anyway. Can’t wait for the day I do.
You know how there is that meme of "Epstein didn't kill himself?"
I'm 99% sure Trump had a hand in it due to him being held in a federal prison and having plenty of dirt on him.
And the other was Pence on Jan. 6th when refusing to get into the secret service car until the results were certified.
Ah Pence, yes
The reason I can't forget that is because there were three reasons he didn't get in the car.
- He took his position seriously and would certify the vote.
- One of his secret service personnel told him directly "Do not get in that car, Mr. Vice President."
- The secret service that showed up with the car wasn't Pence's detail, it was Trump's.
No so much directly as encouraged his supporters to.
Rhymes with "bang my fence"
