MAGA is starting suspect that Trump is not innocent. Let's see what rationalization they can pull out of their hats to make this go away. Not sure there is one.

"The U.S. government posted a surplus in June as taxes gave an extra bump to a sharp increase in receipts"

FTFY

My God, you people are dishonest.

Trump had done much, much worse than fake assassinations.

That's why he's now sweating bullets over Epstein.

Too funny to see him being eaten by MAGA over this.

Posted by lfthndthrds

I've never seen you even entertain that Donald Trump is both sociopath and criminal.

When you accept these obvious facts, a faked assassination attempt or two becomes entirely plausible.

Why didn't Biden have them fired?

Is this a question like:

Why didn't Trump release the Epstein files in his first term?

Related to----

Why doesn't Trump release the Epstein files now?

I think that Trump expects Americans to eat these increased costs and not complain.

Better yet, not even mention them.

You don't need lobbyists to sway Trump.

You need bribes.

Although I guess that someone on hand to tell him what a genius he is is always helpful.

At Butler, that "fateful day", civilians in the crowd repeatedly tried to draw the Secret Service's attention to the MAN ON THE ROOF. WHERE HE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE, and they kept blowing them off.

When ordinary people are better at doing a job than highly trained professionals are, then something stinks to high heaven.

These Secret Service agents were only suspended for their failures, not fired.

They are being protected.

The modern Secret Service is corrupt. It would have to be.

Too many unanswered questions about "assassination attempts".

You lie an awful ---- lot.

Just saying.

Just another one of your repetitive lies.

Yeah, Trump is Hitler. Or Idi Amin. Or Pol Pot. Or (fill in the blank).

He's still a relatively weak dictator now, but if he and his criminal allies get their way then we're going to realize what should already be clearly seen---That places like Alligator Alcatraz are meant for everyone.

Through an astonishing combination of guile, instinct, foresight, and plain luck, Trump finds himself in a position of unchallenged power in the White House.

And through an equally astonishing lack of courage and character from an entire segment of Americans, starting with the GOP leadership, who always claimed that they knew better and were better.

Isn't it obvious that, if Trump and Noem were competent, they could be handling ICE in a more effective and lawful way?

But I don't think the issue is incompetence, although both these people don't know ---- from shinola.

I've thought from the start that the new ICE is designed as political troops, the Waffen ICE.

It is designed to be used against everyone, if needed.

"Bongino is way too emotional to be the head oUm, I thought Director Patel had that part time job.

If Bongino were smart (probably not)then he'd use this crisis as an off-ramp from a job that's over his head.

You're right: Kash Patel treats the FBI like a part-time job. Moreover, a job that has little to do with what the FBI does and everything to do with being a suck up to Trump.

Our enemies, being the serious people Patel isn't, have noticed.

Expect to hear from them.

Trump doesn't forgive insults, ever, real or imagined.

He put Rosi on a personal list because she insulted him once of perhaps did not worship him up to his standards.

Pair that with a genuinely insane sense of personal omnipotence and you get....

Well, you get concentration camps in Florida that are really designed for everyone.

Any doubts left that Trump is a fascist?

Any doubts left that Trump is a mentally ill fascist?

Looking at all the usual suspects.

Republicans are simply not able to articulate why they thought Trump would spill the beans on Epstein.

Neither are they able to articulate why he teased spilling the beans.

I think they live their lives in a sort of dream.

As I recall, when people ask Superman to save them from the weather, he does that.

Can we add it to the list of all the information you don't want.

Disasters like this were PREDICTED; as were teh effects of Trump gutting weather forecasting and preparedness.

The PREDICTION is that more of the same is coming.

Storms are rolling through my area in a few hours.

Thanks to Noem's and Trump's incometence, everyone looks at such events in a different way,

#17 | Posted by shrimptacodan

Do you ever fantasize how you'd look in a black uniform with silver piping?

I am always glad to monitor events that TRUMP/MAGA said could never possibly happen.

The SS has been ordered to stop rounding up Jews.

"Two days after catastrophic floods roared through Central Texas, FEMA did not answer calls from thousands of survivors"

Can we blame Trump for this?

Of course we can.
