Hey MAGA board members, do you understand that kind of thing is literally what our founding fathers warned against? Are you ok with destroying the constitution and the America you enjoyed for the entirety of your lives?
After prolonged remote sensing analysis of the brains of many MAGA supporters, I can answer as follows to both questions on their behalfs:
"YES!!! So long as it causes pain and distress to the kinds of people we hate. Have you not been listening?"
Make America Great My eye! Donald Trump and his minions have done more to undo what is or once made America great than any President in our history! I fear that we may never fully recover from the damage they have done to our country or ever regain whatever respect, admiration and trust we have heretofore earned or enjoyed from the rest of the world, both friend and foe.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

As usual, I agree completely with your sentiment.
My wife has a habit of saying "History will not be kind to (MAGA-related anything)" and my in-the-moment reaction to it every time is History is written by the winners, babe, and we don't know if he's lost yet. I don't say that out loud because it would go over with her like a lead balloon, but I think it and likely will so until proven otherwise.
The thing that makes me optimistic that she's right is that the rest of the world is already articulating the historical record she's envisioning, and while the US can propaganda the “F” out of its citizens ad nauseam, it isn't fooling the rest of the world.
Thank common sense for that.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense. It's also the favored cover for hypocrites.
We just had another round of layoffs. Last year was the worst year we've had, since I started with the company almost 25 years ago. This despite expanding our footprint substantially the prior few years, and increasing our market share amongst the top 10 in our industry by about 30%. It was worse than any year during the Great Recession.
It's been very scary over here, although the initial corruption that I feared would bury my sector backfired to a degree at least, and so crossing my fingers. I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. On the bright side, at least it wasn't a 100% round like Spirit Airlines that services your city, or your entire neighbor city of Primm. The "cheap gas" or jet fuel I guess didn't work out as advertised. I recall being promised "low prices" across hundreds of campaign signs that littered the streets especially where rival campaign signs were removed by honest, good Christians. I should take a road trip to Primm one of these days and check out the signs.
Lost Gospel of Thomas 1:8 - And Jesus said, "what about the Pharisees? They did it too! Wherefore, we shall do it even more!"
It’s amazing to me how delicious MAGA continues to say their turd burger!
It's only becoming more obvious than ever. Trump couldn't be hurting America and its economy more if that was his actual intent! I don't understand how even his worshipful MAGA sycophants can fail to see that, or, even worse, refuse to see or acknowledge that glaring, horrible fact.

Trumps’s Revenge and Retribution agenda has hit another small roadblock:
Matthew Petracca, who had been recently hired as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of North Carolina, is no longer on the Comey case, according to a court filing.
A two-count indictment was brought late last month and suggested that a reasonable person would interpret the image of the shells, arranged to spell out “86 47,” as “a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States.”
The indictment doesn’t spell out what the numbers mean. The term “86” is widely considered to be restaurant slang for being out of something in the kitchen, and the 47 was thought to be a reference to the 47th president.
It was the second time the Justice Department has tried to indict the former FBI director, a longtime target of Trump’s. The first, over an allegation that Comey lied to Congress five years ago during remote testimony via Zoom, was dismissed by a judge who ruled the federal prosecutor had been improperly appointed.
Trump has said he wants the Justice Department to go after his political enemies; acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has argued that those now targeted by the Justice Department themselves used the law to go after the president.
Some legal experts — including several conservatives who typically defend the Trump administration’s actions — criticized the case and expect it to be dismissed long before it gets to trial.
“As one of his longest and most vocal critics, I would frankly prefer to crawl into one of Comey’s conversant shells than write this column,” wrote scholar Jonathan Turley. “However, here we are. This indictment is unconstitutional and will not likely survive constitutional challenge.”
The Trump ‘Friends and Family’ method of staffing the government has hit a small snag after the recent departure of Tulsi Gabbard.
CIA halts intel sharing as Trump taps outsider Pulte
Intelligence freeze: The CIA has halted contributions to key ODNI assessments, including those on the Iran conflict, amid disputes over authority and information sharing.
Leadership shake-up: Trump appointed Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte as acting DNI after Tulsi Gabbard resigned, sparking bipartisan concerns over his lack of intelligence experience.
National security stakes: The breakdown in CIA-ODNI cooperation comes during U.S. military operations in Iran and other global tensions, raising fears of intelligence gaps.
I'd love one of the MAGA faithful to help explain how Bill Pulte is more qualified for heading up National Intelligence than Avril Haines, who presumably they see as a woke liberal "DEI Hire."
Rump rage quit an interview today because a woman reporter asked him questions any other President had the fortitude to answer. The Ultimate ****flake threw a tantrum when pressed for proof of his assertions, ripped off his mic when she rightly wasn’t having it, and waddled off like the sundowning toddler he is.
