But… America first? Right?
Maybe he should cut Medicare. It would certainly give his main voting block a valuable life lesson they can’t ignore. What Trump is forgetting here is that red states are already welfare states, with most pulling in roughly 30% to 40% of their budgets from federal funding and some pushing past 50%. This country only exists because the federal government traditionally enables financial transfers from blue states to red states.
Now he’s saying states need to be responsible for bridging the funding gap to pay for these programs, but how exactly is that supposed to work when those same states don’t have the tax base to replace what they’re losing? Red states are about to take a big fat L in Trump’s next budget.
This is, without a doubt, the most lawless, corrupt presidential administration this country has ever seen. American soldiers died so that Pete Hegseth could make insider trades.
Uh oh, Pam, no pardon for you. Time to lawyer up. Letting the world know Diddlin Don’s true nature was simply inexcusable. She tried her best, though. There’s simply too much evidence to hide. Without a pardon, I think she’s going to do some time for her lies under oath and general obstruction of justice, and she certainly won’t be the only one from this administration who meets that fate.
For the party and administration of “law and order,” it’s interesting to note that under Pam Bondi and Donald Trump, the DOJ dropped 23,000 criminal cases, including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white collar crime, and drugs, in just their first six months in office so they could pivot to murdering American citizens in the streets instead.
Tulsi Gabbard is rumored to be fired soon as well. If that happens, it’ll be another example of what happens when you sell your soul for Trump. As his problems worsen and his new political reality sets in, he’s going to lay the blame for his failures on all his lackeys. It doesn’t matter, though. Nothing is going to stop what’s coming with the midterms.
UPDATE: Pam has now been fired. She should have released the files when she had the chance. I hope justice is swift.
@Mac9192, hope you’re doing well! Miss you, friend.
