Hey, let's NOT leave dishonesty, incompetence, and ignorance out of the party !!
In fact, I think that I'd put all 3 of those ahead of those two.
You and I agree on most things in this thread. I caution against using the word "incompetence". The Trump admin doesn't dot i's and cross t's, but they are very skillfully playing their base to deeply desire a police state that controls free speech while enacting these policies. They call it free speech while crushing free speech. The call it states rights while stomping states rights. They have installed loyalists at every level of government and removed almost all oversight. They have turned political corruption at a never before seen level into background noise.
What seems like incompetence is often just distractions from the march to authoritarianism or other nefarious deeds. Or in the case of "complementing" the Liberian president on his speech, Trump was really dog whistling to his racist supporters. Though I will concede that he may not have known their official language is English.
I suspect that what you really mean to do is to caution against assuming/believing that it's always incompetence. If that, then I certainly agree.
But it certainly often IS incompetence. Trump is a dumb, arrogant, sloppy human being (and at least partially lazy - see: disinterest in intelligence briefings...and god knows what else).
And only tolerates (at least at this point, apparently) Yes Men.
Those factors will lead to great and frequent displays of incompetence. And his business history and time as president are absolutely chock full of them.
Daily reminder that Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself
I think they should ask Nauta if he knows anything about the missing surveillance video.
Everywhere you look in this goddam Epstein affair, one name keeps popping up: Alan Z. Dershowitz (AKA "Dershie"). He seems to be a common link between all the actors.
Are you talking about Walt "Highest-Ranking Diet Coke-Getter in the History of the United States Government" Nauta ??
Donald Trump is planning to resume military operations in Yemen. How much more evidence do you people need that our president is completely compromised by Israel?? Why are my tax dollars being wasted on this nonsense??
Impossible.
1) Trump hates using military force.
2) Trump obliterated the Houthis a few months ago.
3) The Houthis would NEVER dare attack shipping (again) with Trump in office.
The Word according to Trump.
(frankly, I don't even think that the Red Sea would have dared to exist if Trump was president back then)
Here is Judge LaPlante's Order for those actually interested enough to read about what is going on. Pretty thin Order, which the appeals court and/or the Supreme Court will not like. Seems silly of Judge LaPlante to do that, because it just gives the Supreme Court a reason to send it back and to tell him to re-do it, thereby again avoiding the issue (which they will try to do at all costs).
That said, LaPlante did what the Supreme Court majority suggested in Trump v. CASA that litigants and judges do (and what Alito whined about in his weirdo concurrence), and certified a Class to proceed with the litigation on birthright citizenship. It appears that this is now a nationwide class action suit for which nationwide injunctions are suitable according to the Supreme Court.
But I think that slapping Mexican and Ukrainian flag stickers on them should be acceptable.
Maybe I'm a month or so behind, but is not the sight of a Mexican flag THE #1 Trumper visual anger trigger about now?
Why do some libs fly completely diametrically opposed flags together? Just to virtue signal? A couple of days ago I ran by a house flying both a Palestine and a rainbow flag.

How are they opposed? Palestine is a national identity. Flying the flag could mean support for the human rights of oppressed poeople. Rainbow flag indicating tolerance of sexual orientation is a personal belief. Together they indicate a person who believes in protection of human rights regardless of nationality or orientation.
SCOOP: At least 8 of the core DOGE team that built DOGE have left, including Steve Davis, Nicole Hollander, Brad Smith, James Burnham, Amanda Scales, Chris Stanley, Tom Krause, Katie Miller. Plus 7 engineers have left, 3 more are leaving

There will be replacements. Those Patriots did their job, exposing the corruption at numerous organizations. If harris was President right now, LOLLOLLOLLOL, none of that corruption comes to light. Well done.

Can you give us some specic examples of corruption that doge found with dollar amounts? FYI Firing a bunch of employees without reasons is not "finding corruption". Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure you are correct. My understanding is that if an anchor baby is born on a farm, then the farm owner has discretion in awarding the anchor baby amnesty for the birthright violation.

Are you talking about Walt "Highest-Ranking Diet Coke-Getter in the History of the United States Government" Nauta ??
Dershowitz's name pops up everywhere because everyone knows he's an outstanding defense lawyer - he's the guy you wanna call when you're in REAL trouble. That's why he represents slimeballs like Klaus Von Bulow, O.J. Simpson, and...Donald Trump, who he represented in Trump's second impeachment trial.
If Diddy hires "Dershie" to represent him on the appeal his convictions, anyone on this forum want to bet me those convictions won't be reversed?

He kept his underwear on during his Massage from Epsteins girl!

I’ll take that wager. Put me down for a chisel.
I followed the Combs trial reasonably closely and the two convictions they got are bulletproof. I think that section of the Mann act is total bullshift, but it is the law, and Combs practically admitted he violated it, ALL the testimony shows he did, and none of it was close to inadmissible. And Dershowitz WAS a great appellate lawyer in his heyday. If you watch him on Fox now, his skills have clearly declined.
Nauta is bald headed and of questionable citizenship (Guamamonium). He lied to a federal grand jury about bathroom business.
