liberals -> "ok, well there must be both sides to this issue so how about we pointlessly cut half the science funding now and the other half a little bit later!"
Trump has been a money launderer for Putin for the past 3 decades. Trump’s entire reason to own international resorts is to use them for laundering money. It’s easy. Build a huge resort, say it’s full even when it is not, and it just so happens to be that half the guests paid in cash. Well, the cash guest, Putin and his oligarchy bros, said “Keep this up or we will ruin you”. So the choice is to make money or lose it all/get killed. Pretty easy choice right?
Why would Putin need to launder money? Putin likely has control of the mint and the fraud enforcement.you only need to launder money if you are trying to prove it's legit after obtaining it illegally.
I'm sure there is a connection to Putin's money and Trump's money, but I don't think it's laundering.
Democrats: What if we only partially defund basic infrastructure?
four years later
Democrats: Wow the leftists really hate us, good thing they have no other choice. Anyway hey Republicans, how about we cut critical government services next?
The galling part of all this isn’t Trump. Cluster B personality disorder doing Cluster B personality things, like spewing a false reality and demanding people believe in it, is expected.
The galling part is all the dipshits following along. Most people ghost Cluster B, just not this country.

Depends. BPD and HPD yes, but NPD can be quite charming. My mother had a lot of friends and orbiters. A narcissist knows how to make you feel like you are the only person in the room, if they want to.
Fuck over Facebook, Twitter, the worst of MSM. Any way you can.
Attention based algorithmic social media, and the MAGA Media ecosystem, are what’s keeping Trump in power. It’s literally all just attention and propaganda. The sooner opposition realizes that, the sooner this rot can erode. But that’s not going to happen as long as political leaders keep waving their hands around about policy or “we would’ve won if we were more/less liberal, or if X person ran!” No, it wouldn’t have done squat.
In other words, voters are monkeys addicted to scrolling. We can’t help it, and that needs to be understood like the MAGA ecosystem already understands it.
