My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

This is one of the most naive idiotic takes I’ve seen. The Right has no interest in the safety of children, they want blood from democrats.

The censorship at universities is appalling. It’s literally the word police, and the absolute hypocrisy of free speech idiots on the right is vomit inducing.

At what point does “means testing” include “did you vote for this”? Because if so, you are still eligible, but you go to the back of the line. When you vote to take things away from other people, you don’t get to get those things yourself.

A reminder that there is a direct line between Trump 1.0 pulling out of the Iranian nuclear deal and the mess we have now. Incompetence has consequences is basically the MAGA mantra.
