“Pretend” is the operative word here, in the interest of winning votes from ideologues. Republicans are actually for controlled markets rigged for them and their benefactors to win.

Wait until they get to the part where they purposefully shrink economic output in order to jack up prices and profit margins.

I’m starting to wonder how much the constant stream of stories they are feeding the media about firing people all over the government is intended to screen us, or at least distract us, from this kind of stuff. Because this is the core of what they are trying to accomplish. The rest of it seems intended only to keep us scared, confused, and/or fighting with one another.

Give it time.

Maybe he was high on the air once too many times.

I promise you, he is.

An important step in the journey to making America great again.

There doesn’t seem to be any egg shortage, and yet the prices are super high. Funny how it works when we get a businessman in the White House.

And either it’ll totally work, or it will be considered so open to interpretation that it will never be agreed upon.

I wonder how much of it is people generally ignorant of the world starting to read a little bit, maybe spurred by Insta or TikTok, and feeling very smart about ideas they'd never heard before such as "vaccinations cause autism". Then, when the rubber meets the road and they start seeing the sickness around them, they snap out of it. That reminds me: I have to update my vaccinations, like tetanus, shingles, etc., before they are outlawed.

I think how the organization has gotten to this point was the opposite of stumbling across it.

Yes, this. I am already pessimistic about too many other things for me to sign on to being pessimistic about the Tigers as well.

Also, he had to EO a redirect of where the money would actually end up.

Yep, they are definitely stripping the country for parts and running to the bank now. No mention of raising taxes on the lower 99%. That’s got to be in there too, right?

Bring it on. The cult of personality might finally be broken and everyone might finally wake the **** up. We might be able to work with that.

“Just lie back and enjoy it.”

When American is great again, they won’t need your puny logic.

I was initially encouraged to hear DOGE employees bailing on them, until I learned they had been employed in government beforehand versus coming in the door with FElon, which sadly makes more sense.

Solid post. I hadn’t considered the idea of everyone retreating to their corners and recreating the old parochial divisions of a century-plus ago.

This is a long way around to saying what he could have said in seven letters.

Well, I mean, come on, this isn't any surprise, is it? It was always going to come to this, wasn't it? Coming soon: the arrests.

She's talking about Zelenskyy the "dictator", right?

Still, that is an absolute ****load of money to invest in infrastructure for the team. Only by way of broad comparison, Comerica Park cost $300 million to build the whole thing.

They will get away with it until they stop getting away with it.

Not you in particular, but I really wish we the people would stop referring to programs designed to help people of modest means, especially those we paid into with our own taxes, as "entitlements". It sounds too much like the word "entitled", as in "entitled assholes who are deserve of it." I believe it leaves a negative connotation with people, and when Republicans spit the word out as an epithet, that makes it easy for them to get support for reducing or eliminating them from the very people who benefit from them.
