Convention Missteps Renew Concerns About Trump And Governing

How much damage can a bellend billionaire who thinks he's Edgelord for the far-right because his self-worth is so minimal that he is damaged beyond repair do while being tied to the incoming shithole administration? A lot. It appears that we have two president-elects now. Leon is as insane of a pick as the rest of Trump's appointees.

Trump's not picky about who gets to purchase the okra-tinted Jabba. There's Egypt, with its kind $10MM gift in 2017 that totes was a housewarming gift, no bribery intended! Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who rented whole floors of Trump's (former) DC hotel while he was President, even though it was gaudy and apparently rather unclean (kinda like the man himself). You may remember those kind Saudis gave Jared Kushner a $2B private equity investment, about which Jared has as much knowledge and experience as Donald does eating vegetables.

After winning the election, Donald Trump and his team suddenly remembered that Project 2025 was the foundation for Donald's second presidential term. Project 2025 is a policy and personnel program unpopular with American voters. In the video above, Project 2025’s director, Paul Dans, admitted that if Donald Trump is elected, Trump’s agenda on day 1 will mirror Project 2025’s.

Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) didn’t cite any crime committed when she made her demand for Department of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to be criminally charged. But she made it on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox Business show, knowing that their (presumably) favorite felon would be watching and probably wouldn’t care about such details as the law. “When you have that much destruction and damage caused to the American people by having these open border polices,” Van Duyne said, “somebody’s head has got to roll.” Donald Trump has already said he wants Kristi Noem to be his director of the Homeland Security Department so Mayorkas’ head has already “rolled,” so to speak. But that’s not enough for Van Duyne.

Trump transition team spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt called Politico and The New York Times 'fake news' on Friday for reports that he didn’t win the popular vote in a landslide. But the numbers don't lie. Trump, who claims to have secured a "powerful mandate' won the popular vote by one of the smallest margins since the 19th century. Still, she went there but was promptly called out. It’s not ‘fake news’, it’s just… math.

Sen. Mike Rounds sat down for an interview with CNBC. The host pointed out that parents of special needs children are having a FAFO moment as they realize that the funding for their children's education services are about to get cut. She went on to ask if the feds were going to ensure the necessary services are provided or if they were going to let the courts do it. Rounds answered showed that he doesn't know how government works and that it was not all about the children: I think it, excuse me, with Special Ed as the example, nobody wants to take away funding for Special Ed but what you do find is that the federal government has always underfunded special education and so the folks at the local level end up picking up a significant amount of the costs involved right now and yet rather than becoming more efficient or direct with their funding and taking care of it we suddenly think that somebody at the federal level is going to make a better decision about how to help that young person than somebody at the local or state level.
