Susie Wiles is a canny political operator who knows exactly what she’s doing and bears a ton of responsibility for the way Trump has been normalized by the press that she sees the writing on the wall is maybe the clearest sign of where this ends and the coming knife fight to inherit MAGA

RATS by Maggie Haberman HarperCollins, 2027

sir the rats released another tell-all about the sinking ship

President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.

i think people sometimes overstate how much savvy trump had in the first term, but it's pretty undeniable that he's totally lost control of his ability to temper his grievances and inhibitions, and the sycophants around him this time are just as hermetically sealed into the bubble as he is

that's right, double down, you hateful piece of shit, even your own supporters hate this, they're just starting to realize that all stick no carrot means they get the stick, too

It's Epstein week

Lmao what if this was what triggered the 25th amendment

~*~*~*~*~Maybe It Will Happen Today~*~*~*~*~

What the fuck

threatening violence either works or it makes people so fucking angry at you that they cannot be swayed from telling you to go directly to hell good to see the latter carried the day today

They sent JD Vance to Indiana and they were like never do that to us again

Trumps losing control, tbh. It's all happening at once.

15/80 disapproval on the economy with independents??? Hoo boy

A 6 percent drop of the whole population at this level means that 1/7 of people that previously supported him do not. That’s 14%!!

Compare this to when Biden was in office and he had similar approval

Yeah this makes sense. I always hear the "there are no good billionaires" and personally know one who isn't bad (not great either, but not inherently evil), but he got one big payday and just went away. I think this is the difference. He had a good idea, sold it, and left. Didn't want more.

I think this is right. It’s like when a family has decided to tolerate an abusive drunk. They know what he’s like and they’ve priced it into their decisions and they don’t want to hear you talk about it.

I’ll say this, when I die, if you try to summon my presence and interrupt my eternal slumber for your own personal edification, I’m going to fuck you up.

Like a third of the Federalist Papers are basically “It would be horrible if Donald Trump became president and these features of the proposed Constitution will ensure that never happens.”

There are various reasons for this but one of them is that we have a regime speed-running even the most obscure and archaic grievances in the Declaration of Independence.

Ossofs gonna clear 55% next year

The 2026 RNC is gonna be amazing. It's gonna be Trump stroking out in the middle of a riff about how it's okay if your kid dies of measles because you can always have another one

D+13.3 is literally 1932

I think it’s worth noting that not only did we win the Miami mayoral race but we won within like 20 minutes. The race was so decisive that we almost had an instantaneous answer. That’s how screwed Republicans are going into 2026.

58% of miami’s population are immigrants and they have collectively realized “oh they mean ALL immigrants”

Georgia Republicans reviewing these results:

Faced with a once in a lifetime political realignment among Latinos, the GOP looked at themselves in the mirror, took a deep breath, and decided they had to get more racist

They're very clearly telling him how hard these tests are and how impressive his results are to get him to keep doing them, like he's a fucking child, and he's too much of an idiot to realize that's what happening so he just told the whole country about it

just incredible optics here, the president yelling at you about how you should buy less and like it, three weeks before christmas, while standing in front of a bunch of stupefied moronic dipshits holding BIGGER PAYCHECKS signs

Why do I see videos of these men failing to do a pull up like once a week

the plan, insofar as one exists, is to just loudly state Prices Are Down into the nearest available camera for the next three years have fun with the midterms, guys

which is not at all the same thing as not having the ability to do significant, crippling damage. but they can't replace it with anything, their power cannot build on itself

a regime that is publicly humiliated by Henry Cuellar does not have the juice to dismantle the Republic.

this feels like a genuine trump tweet cuz it gives me this queasy feeling like I'm reading the journal entry of a child suffering from black mold poisoning

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

The whole point of throwing a subordinate under the bus is that you don't jump down there with them

i don't want to win a unifying 70-30. i want to win 51-49 based on promises of vengeance.

i don't want a unifying Dem who promises to return to good government. i want an angel of death who promises the government the reconstruction amendments promise.

Costco exists at a level of civilization incompatible with Trumpism.

that's cool, man, but have you tried the taste of a refreshing matcha latte

I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that the founding fathers would encourage bayoneting redcoats doing the same

multiple people should go to prison for this

The way to understand the second Trump administration is as a content generation machine. They aren’t implementing fascism, they’re creating fascism-flavored content. They aren’t implementing real policy, they’re signing executive orders to post about them. Anything that gets attention is the goal.
