      More like they will spend MILLIONS. Let’s not forget education funding cuts and Russian bots taking over all social media to brain rot the public. Its all a finely crafted plan.

      Its not even about money. They want to WIN. They want the biggest number on the scoreboard. They want the most power. They’re sick fucks.

      To quote Bill Burr, they should be put down like rabid dogs.

    Remember when Bush praised a single that was struggling and working three jobs just to keep her family fed and housed in a 1 bedroom apartment and he said “You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn’t it? I mean, that is fantastic that you’re doing that. Get any sleep?”.

    Yeah, Trump really is a Republican Christian, fake as fuck.

    Glad to see the White House actively shilling for corporations.

    Garbage propaganda, so stupid it hurts.

      This is the primary purpose of the US government, but the other party does it less brazenly

          I don’t mean actual product advertisements like what Trump is doing, but every single US president actively endorsed and defended the right of capitalists to steal surplus value, all while being paid by those same capitalists, which I think absolutely counts as shilling.

          The democrats are at least sometimes trying/pretending to make profit extraction sustainable with environmental protection and labor laws that are designed to prevent actual labor organizing. They also undoubtedly have some other benefits like minority rights and slightly more predictable policy choices. If I were in the US, I’d probably vote for dems in every election as a matter of harm reduction. But I also understand dems won’t save US from corporatism/fascism, because they are by design servants of the capitalist class.

            Oh yeah, I totally agree with that. I was just pointing out that Trump is breaking a lot of norms to make a quick buck and it is disgusting.

            Voting Dem sucks, but I can see where you are coming from.

            The whole world became fascist, it is a universal problem with every single country facing an ever growing wealth gap.

      That’s fucking unbelievable!

      So let me get this straight: they engineered this entire thing, even using a known operative, controlling all the variables, and they STILL managed to go off the rails, and send the counter message that America has terrible medical and retirement policies?

      MAGA is virtuosically incompetent.

        That violates every journalistic standard that exists, and equates Fox News with the National Enquirer.

        They should be sued by the government for false advertising, and be forced to remove “News” from their name. They can be Fox Politics, or Fox Opinion, or the Fox Conservative Propaganda Machine, but they should be prohibited from using the word news in the name of their company.

            Yep, they’ve even admitted to it, and used it to defend themselves in more than one defamation case. Since they acknowledge that they aren’t an authentic news outlet, they should be forced to remove it from their name.

        Well obviously in addition to her mothering and caregiving, Sharon is also casually a billionaire on the side, so she’s getting a big cut on her taxes there.

        Aren’t you relieved that the billionaires get to pay less taxes and steal more money from your taxes.

        You should be more grateful, I bet you didn’t even say thanks !

      No. All the gaudy gold shit was added by him.

      It was hard for me to find an unobstructed image of that door before he was in office, but you can see the ugly ornamentation over the window isn’t there in this one:

      Cheap-looking and out of place is his MO!

      The rumor is that Trump was getting lost so they printed up signs that said Oval Office and taped them to the exterior. You can find pics of that.

      Then they made them permanent. I don’t completely believe it, but it’s still plausible.
