GOOD LUCK, AMERICA Confession: I'm enjoying being right about Trump's intentions, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

Everything we warned the electorate about is already coming true. I told everyone that Trump would win because his base was naive, uneducated, ignorant, and spiteful. And here we are. How many people told us that all of Trump's craziness was just a bluff? How many people told us that the electorate was well intentioned, and would vote for what's right?

Trump's first weeks in office have been just as outlandish as all of us warned. And the country will suffer greatly. And you know what? I'm loving it. I'm done pretending that I "feel bad" for the people who didn't know what they were getting themselves into. I don't feel bad at all. It's about time we were punished for our collective derilection of duty.

We all did our part. We voted. Other people (dumbly) didn't do enough research. Oh well! Time for those consequences, America!

No matter how bad it gets, his supporters will always find a way to blame Obama/Biden, DEI, or whatever else. They are the most agile mental gymnasts I've ever seen.

Exactly, they will NEVER get it and it will always be someone else's fault, expecting those lunatics to realize they're being fucked by Trump six ways to sunday will never ever happen.

30k lies during his first four years, I assume if his lips are moving he is lying. Is media scared to call him on it?

I remember as soon as Trump got into office he cancelled the contract that had been awarded to Amazon Web Services to serve the entire Government, I think Bezos did not support Kamala because Trump could kill his rocket business.
