  1. You damned well know that within a month, he will be in the Oval, doing that cheesy fucking smile while holding up Trump branded bulbs for sale. And they will be double the price of LED bulbs, using technology invented in America! And they will sell. Shit, why didn't I think of this. Freedom bulbs. The grift opportunities abound!
  2. This seems fitting: https://thebuckeyeflame.com/2024/12/19/parents-bill-of-rights-clears-ohio-legislature/
  3. RIP. This is your reminder he put his peanut farm into a trust before taking office, and there was a special counsel appointed to see if anything nefarious was up with the peanut farm and loans that were against it. Contrast that with how things are today. EDIT: And because The Onion can put it so much more eloquently than I: https://theonion.com/you-people-made-me-give-up-my-peanut-farm-before-i-got-1819585048/
  4. Counterpoint: he may be, but he's brilliant in figuring out what 1/3-1/2 of this country wanted, and doing exactly what they wanted to see and hear. All politicians are malleable, but he's set a new standard that may never be matched.
  5. Oh, they will. There will be some new shiny object (trans people, brown people who come to American to become trans, litterboxes in schools, you get the idea) that will force the base to re-focus. EDIT: And Ole' Ron clarifies the point:

  7. Cross-posting this from the Trump's America thread, because its a different kind of Leopards Eating Faces. And I'm here for this.
  8. "In which the MAGA folk find out that Elon really didn't like them after all"

  10. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/12/26/trump-voters-federal-benefits-food/? After backing Trump, low-income voters hope he doesn’t slash their benefits
  11. Eh, he will be ok. But there are a looooooooot of soft targets in his orbit. Particularly loud, arrogant, and generally loathsome human pieces of shit targets that won't have the benefit of SS protection 24/7 in his administration. I'm thinking collateral damage.
