I'm increasingly convinced Trump's inner circle is giving him busy work (the White House ballroom, Kennedy Center, presidential plaques, gold decorations, etc.) while they essentially run the government. He admits that he doesn't even know who he is pardoning anymore.

I only managed to listen to 45 seconds of whatever we are calling that performance last night.
It was like watching a mashup of all of the Saturday Night Live skits patted and formed into a dim-witted humanoid with butthole lips spewing Nazi talking points.

The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

Today, Trump declared that the nation will host the first-ever “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” featuring high school athletes, one boy and one girl, from each state and territory.
If you think this sounds like The Hunger Games, you're not alone.

Trump just announced his own Hunger Games
In case you needed a reminder that we're living in a fascist hellscape.

Maria Shriver on the Kennedy Center Board of Directors’ vote to name the Kennedy Center — named in her uncle’s honor after he was assassinated — the Trump Kennedy Center.
(Reminder: it would take an act of Congress to do this officially.)

The body language in this photo is chilling. Most women will recognize it. This girl is making herself smaller, protecting her body, and pulling herself away. Bill Gates needs to be investigated. We know precisely why he’s cozying up to the pedophile in chief.

Lutnick showing they’ll even defend Trump’s terrible math
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

I'm watching his speech and it's wild he has no idea what's going on in the country.
54% of Americans say they won't be able to pay for health care next year.
25% skipped a meal because they couldn't afford it.
The economy is good for billionaires. That's all he cares about.

The networks were afraid not to run Trump because they assumed he would use his office to punish them if they didn’t. The irony is that this is what Biden was warning about, a warning they chose not to share with America.
You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.
