Washington State Adopts New Tax on Incomes Over $1 Million
(narrator: Washington State's constitution expicitly prohibts income taxes)
They dont care about your "rights" or the constitution when they want to get their way. Prime example: covid fiasco.
Thanks, blowfish. $166,000,000,000 (billion). They don't care about your "rights" or the Constitution when they want to get their way. Prime example: global tariffs. See Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump (linked below).
Schulz voted for Trump in 2024, after having him on the podcast—a move that angered a lot of liberals. But the 42-year-old comedian was never what one might call “full MAGA,” and he isn’t explicitly Republican. Instead, Schulz is representative of a not-insignificant slice of Trump’s voting base: nonideological guys who love free speech and are drawn to politicians who seem anti-establishment and, maybe more important, anti-woke. (The podcaster-comedians Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Tim Dillon, and Dave Smith all fit somewhere in this camp.) With their help, Trump pulled off his improbable comeback.
But a lot has changed since November 2024. Schulz and many of his fellow manosphere commentators seem to feel—by varying degrees—duped by the president they helped elect. Some have been airing those grievances for months, starting with Trump's handling of the Epstein files and, later, the killing of American citizens at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis. To Schulz and others like him, a brand-new war in the Middle East is a betrayal so massive, you almost have to laugh. “The only shot you have at a good life right now is to hasten the rapture,” Dillon, another podcaster and comedian, said on a recent show. “The foreign and economic policy of our country currently is the rapture.”
"[Schulz] was never full MAGA". Well if he voted for Trump on Nov 5 he was full MAGA for that day, and that was the day that mattered.
They are trying to launder their reputation by claiming they were voting for a "different Trump" or that they are "non-ideological".
Come on, these are fully grown men. And they have enormous influence. Trump is not a new kid on the block, they knew the choices that were on offer.
It's not good enough for them to say they were duped, they need to recognize they were part of the dupe.
Fascinating. 14 months in, how is Trump's DoJ and fawning Congress doing on all of the investigations and prosecutions of these "epic criminal acts"?
Perhaps they're still preoccupied on doing the same for the 2020 election.
Or the Epstein files.
Or........
It's obviously tragic that Trump owns all of government, but it sure does allow one to save a LOT of time when discussing MAGA conspiracies with MAGA mo-rans. We can pretend to concede ALL of the facts, and JUST ask how ALL of the slam dunk cases are going ?!
SUPER quick update: Ukraine, inflation, gas, missing trade deals, deporting the worst of the worst, trillions in DOGE savings, tariff refunds, peace in the Middle East/No Wars.....

Rather than being full MAGA November 5th last year, maybe his vote for Trump was based on not liking Harris.
According to a poll...an overwhelming 96% said they approve of the job Trump is doing as president. An additional 94% agreed with the statement that Trump has been "the best president in my lifetime."
...
Another 89% support Trump's military action in Iran to remove Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and halt the country’s nuclear program, while 92% approve of the arrest of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
...
Within Trump’s Cabinet, Secretary of State Marco Rubio ranked as the most popular, with 42% naming him their favorite.
He was followed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
The poll also offered an early glimpse at the GOP’s future.
In a hypothetical 2028 Republican primary, Vance leads with 53% support, ahead of Rubio at 35%, with all other contenders in single digits.

Excellent observation. But you omitted the "biggest crime in our nation's history". Maybe even world history. It is a crime that is so obvious that "everybody knows it".
The 2020 stolen election has been referenced by Trump probably tens of thousands of times. But we have no investigations, no indictments, no grand juries and no perp walks.
And Trump has stooges running the CIA, FBI and the DOJ.
SUPER quick update: Ukraine, inflation, gas, missing trade deals, deporting the worst of the worst, trillions in DOGE savings, tariff refunds, peace in the Middle East/No Wars.....
Winning. Rubes aplenty.
Lefties also want to ignore the fact that their disgraceful leadership created those problems then blamed Trump until he swiftly solved them.
That looks like the "tiptoe through the tulips" guy. The one with the goddam ukelele. I can't stand that guy. I would have loved to break his ukelele over his head back in the day.
Russians are conspiring with Iranians to kill American soldiers. Russians are enemies.
$166,000,000,000. That's a lot of cash ($$$), trump2028. In socialist tax circles, they call taxes like that "The Large Green." Trump biffed American businesses to the tune of the $166 billion in Large Green. Illegally, I might add. He illegally sanctioned American businesses over $166 billion. How fvcked up is that?
It’s Not Going to Get Any Easier for Democrats After Trump
Even more damaging than the historical pattern, the 2030 census will inflict two brutal body blows to the Democratic Party by putting the party in a significantly worse position in the contest to control the House and the presidential battle to win 270 votes in the Electoral College.
According to current estimates based on population trends, Republican states will gain and Democratic states will lose six to 12 House seats and, with them, the same number of Electoral College votes.
...
Not only does this make it much harder to retain or win control of the House, it also means that a Democratic presidential candidate in 2032 could sweep the Midwest battleground states and still lose the election.
...
One of the biggest problems, if not the biggest, facing the party’s candidates who seek to win in ruby red to purple states and districts is the deep disdain voters in those regions hold for the Democratic Party; they rank the party far below either Trump or the Republicans.
NBC News polling data provided to The Times by Bill McInturff and Gordon Pryre of Public Opinion Strategies shows how high the hurdle is. Combining the results of all the surveys NBC and CNBC conducted in 2025 reveals that voters in the red states Trump carried easily view him positively, 51 percent to 42 percent, or a nine-point margin. The voters of those states have a 46 percent to 40 percent “favorable” rating for the Republican Party, a six-point difference.
Democrats, in contrast, are pariahs: 22 percent positive, 60 percent negative, for a net 38 points adverse.
Things are only slightly better for Democrats in the crucial swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where the favorability gap between the parties is smaller: negative nine points for both Trump (43-52) and his party (40-49) — not good, but still a lot better than for the Democrats, who have a net negative rating of 26 points (29-55).
Shifting to an examination of the demographic obstacles confronting Democratic candidates who want to reach out beyond the party’s base shows a similar pattern. Noncollege whites — pollster shorthand for the white working class — continue to be a key constituency in MAGA states and districts. The polling firm Civiqs, which has interviewed hundreds of thousands of voters over the past decade, found that the assessment of the Democratic Party among these voters has generally worsened over that time period.
In January 2015, 62 percent of the Civiqs respondents had “unfavorable” views of the party and 29 percent favorable, or 33 points more negative than positive. By January 2026, the unfavorable assessments rose to 70 percent and the favorable fell to 22 percent, 48 points more negative than positive.
Over the same 10-plus years, Hispanic noncollege voters have gone from a modest positive rating of the Democratic Party, 48 percent to 41 percent, to a decisively negative view, 55 percent unfavorable and 36 percent favorable.

So much of right wing ideology is being 100% convinced of things with 0 evidence whatsoever.
This is why the conspiracies fly with wings of an Eagle in the ecosphere of MAGA but they never seem to find their way into the US Judicial System.
"[Schulz] was never full MAGA". Well if he voted for Trump on Nov 5 he was full MAGA for that day, and that was the day that mattered.

That's not a get out clause for them.
They need to recognize not only were they duped, but the Republican party used their podcasts to do the dupe. They were part of it, even if they didn't know at the time.
It's one hell of a humbling thing for them to admit though.
