This is what we voted for, the destruction of the Police State.

This is what less than half of the 64% of eligible voters that bothered to vote voted for.

Not "we". Not a majority. Not a mandate.

Matt Taibbi 's tone changed after he was raided by the FBI and after he helped Elon produce the Twitter files exposing the government's role in manipulating social media.

BLM stands for black lives matter, not blue.

You don't recognize it when Democrats change their opinions, so why should we cut Taibbi any slack?

No, you are wrong.

Matt got angry when guys like Bernie got forced out and more moderate Democrats got control of the party.

The sins and failings of Trump/MAGA as written about by Taibbi exponentially dwarf the sins and failings of the moderate Democrats as written about by Taibbi.

Matt does not believe in the lesser of two evils theory. He believes the only way to get the left leaning government he envisions is to hang moderate Democrats on a clothes line and let Trump/MAGAs beat us like a dirty carpet until we give in and let Taibbi's preferred leaders run the show.

So don't get misled, Taibbi and guys like Yogi will always believe that Trump and his supporters are quarter wits.

"Trump is just a bundle of disorganized urges. He's what a lot of Americans would be if they had a billion dollars: They'd build grotesque castles, bang models, and grow fat."
-Matt Taibbi

Trump won the electoral college, all battleground states, the popular vote, and the House and Senate. He also won your heart.

Trump is doing what he's mandated to do by the American people - to drain the swamp.

Do you think you'll beat out the 57 that you posted yesterday, today?

That was most impressive.
You're living the Dream!

Apparently a big target of the order is generic foreign aid. This is where America First loses me; isolationism is flat out wrong. The US absolutely has a role to play in world events.
Seems like they're shutting down all foreign and domestic aid, except for specific callouts of Social Security and Medicare. (Note that Medicaid is not explicitly protected.)

If Trump was branded as a populist before, this should take the bloom off that rose real quick.
Whoops!


I'm glad the administration has seemingly changed course on this issue (likely in response to public pressure), after their initial move to shut down Medicaid payments.

Gotta say, I had low expectations but I did not think Trump would actually be dumb enough to start a trade war with freaking CANADA. Who exactly wanted this?
