Now for the run-up to my answer. My firm belief is the people who side with Trump, or Putin, are too stubborn, too dishonest, too stupid to allow them making decisions for other people. There might be Trumptards that aren't too mentally crippled, but I can't find them were I live.
What are America's needs? My answer: all Trumptards out of government. All other problems will be solvable with those people out of the decision loops.
You just had 4 years to solve them and all you did was create a lot more problems.
Get fucked, loser.

The predictably horrific conditions created by Trump at Guantanamo
Here’s what a new investigation tells us.
by Patrick Reis | Feb 25, 2025, 4:35 PM CST
https://www.vox.com/politics/401285/logoff-guantanamo
What’s happening at Guantánamo? The administration housed nearly 180 migrants there for weeks before they were deported to Venezuela on Thursday. A report today from the Washington Post revealed horrific conditions while they were there. The reports, based on interviews with migrants released in Venezuela, reveal:
1 Detainees housed in solitary confinement, going outside only twice in a two-week period;
2 “Humiliating and invasive strip searches”;
3 Multiple suicide attempts, including one man who swallowed screws and another who attempted to slit his wrists with sharpened plastic bottles.
Administration officials have said the military prison would house the “worst of the worst” criminals, but among the migrants the Post interviewed, their only known criminal act was crossing the border illegally.
On Sunday, the administration flew 17 additional migrants to Guantanamo, the New York Times reported.
What’s next? President Donald Trump has ordered his team to prepare to house up to 30,000 migrants at Guantánamo, but the plan is running into roadblocks. CNN reported Monday that the base had paused plans to house migrants in tents because they lack the air conditioning and electricity needed to meet detention standards.
What’s the big picture? When Trump announced his Guantánamo plan, administration officials said fears of mistreatment at military facilities were misplaced. Now, with only a fraction of the planned number of detainees housed at the base, the Post’s report suggests that mistreatment has already occurred.
NPR reported Monday that the administration is now laying the groundwork to house undocumented immigrants in military bases around the country.

DOGE Secretly Changes Its Website After Being Caught in Huge Lies
By Malcolm Ferguson | February 25, 2025 3:30 p.m. ET

DOGE deleted the top five highest savings claims on its “wall of receipts” leaderboard after various news outlets pointed out multiple errors in its calculations.
The savings, deleted with no explanation from DOGE or the White House, include: a $232 million cut to the Social Security Administration that actually amounted to only $560,000; an $8 billion cut at Immigration and Customs Enforcement that was actually only $8 million; and three $655 million cuts at the U.S. Agency for International Development that ended up being a measly $18 million. These mistakes all seem to be completely avoidable human errors.

Trump has a long history of claiming that other countries are laughing at America’s expense. So look at Emmanuel Macron’s expression as Trump declares that he and Musk will be visiting Fort Knox to make sure that the gold is still there:

Musk and Trump have rapidly destroyed U.S. influence in the world. America redefined itself as a rogue nation that doesn’t honor its promises, threatens its allies, tries to engage in Mafia-style extortion, and intervenes in democratic nations’ elections.

No. You mean that you had two Democrats who were voting common sense.
You also had the house 222 to 212 the first 2 years and passed a FUCK TON OF BULLSHIT when you did have the power.
And 2/3rds of Trump's Executive Orders now are just repealing Biden*'s ridiculous executive orders that he passed because he'd never get any of it passed through congress.
Your revisionist history will play better somewhere else where you have a bunch of like-minded retards who buy it.

Thanks to Trump, the average national price of a dozen eggs is already $5. (Trumptard farmers control egg prices.) The USDA forecasts a 41.1% additional increase through the end of the year:
A year from now you'll probably be paying $7 for a dozen eggs.

Maybe I’m Old-Fashioned, but the DOGE Kids Should Probably Not Be Able to Override the Secretary of State
I think it’s Bad that Nazi-adjacent youths might be overruling the President and Secretary of State.
Reports about DOGE’s chain-of-command privileges and links to Holocaust denialists continue to raise concerning questions.

Let me set it up for you: “Rubio” is congressionally confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who occupies a position that is traditionally considered one of the most powerful in the world. “Farritor” and “Kliger” are Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger, computer programmers in their mid-20s who work for DOGE, a so-called temporary organization created by executive order. “Musk” is Elon Musk.
Rubio had decreed that certain critical programs — such as aid to Ukraine and Syria and costs related to the PEPFAR program to combat HIV in Africa — would continue to be funded. Several times, USAID managers prepared packages of these payments and got the agency’s interim leaders to sign off on them with support from the White House.
But each time, using their new gatekeeping powers and clearly acting on orders from Musk or one of his lieutenants, Farritor and Kliger would veto the payments — a process that required them to manually check boxes in the payment system one at a time, the same tedious way you probably pay your bills online. Meanwhile, AIDS clinics shuttered and staff found themselves stranded in unstable countries such as Congo.
According to the administration, the Department of Government Efficiency is merely an advisory group that Musk oversees but does not formally direct. But Musk — via his staff — is canceling payments that have been approved by both the secretary of state and the “White House.”

EPA tells White House to strike down landmark climate finding
By Maxine Joselow | February 26, 2025, 11:41 a.m. EST
https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/02/26/epa-enda
ngerment-finding-trump-climate/
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin has privately urged the White House to strike down a scientific finding underpinning much of the federal government’s push to combat climate change, according to three people briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.
The 2009 “endangerment finding” cleared the way for regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act by concluding that the planet-warming gases pose a threat to public health and welfare. The Obama and Biden administrations used that determination to set strict limits on emissions from cars and power plants.
By repealing the endangerment finding, the Trump administration would be taking one of its most consequential steps yet to derail federal climate efforts. In recent days, the administration has also blocked work that is central to international climate research and barred federal scientists and diplomats from attending a major climate event in China.
EPA officials weighed whether to reverse the endangerment finding during President Donald Trump’s first term but opted not to do so.
Conservatives have argued that repealing the finding is critical to unraveling what they see as burdensome limits on emissions from various sectors of the economy. Environmentalists, in contrast, say the finding has justified stronger regulations that have yielded enormous benefits for the planet and public health.
On the first day of his second term, Trump signed an executive order that tasked the EPA with reviewing the “legality and continuing applicability of” the endangerment finding. The order gave Zeldin 30 days to submit recommendations to Russell Vought, the head of the White House budget office.
EPA officials have not shared the recommendations publicly. EPA spokeswoman Molly Vaseliou declined to comment on the matter Tuesday, saying in an email, “EPA is in compliance with this aspect of the President’s Executive Order.”
Mandy Gunasekara, who served as EPA chief of staff at the end of Trump’s first term and wrote the EPA chapter in the conservative blueprint Project 2025, has been advising the administration on repealing the endangerment finding, according to the three individuals briefed on the matter.
Jonathan Brightbill, who was a top deputy in the Justice Department’s environment and natural resources division during Trump’s first term, has also provided legal advice, these people said. Brightbill recently served on the Trump transition team at the Justice Department and is a partner at the law firm Winston & Strawn.
Gunasekara and Brightbill did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The endangerment finding has sparked legal and political battles in Washington for more than 15 years. In 2007, the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases as pollutants under the Clean Air Act. In response, the EPA first issued the endangerment finding and then established the first-ever carbon limits for vehicles and power plants.
During Trump’s first term, skeptics of mainstream climate science filed a petition asking the EPA to repeal the determination. But agency lawyers rejected that petition on Trump’s last day in office in 2021.
Allies of the fossil fuel industry cheered the idea that the administration would revisit the issue.
“They unfortunately didn’t do this in the first term, so I’m pleased to see that they’re working on this in the second term,” said Tom Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, an advocacy group for the oil and gas sector.
Myron Ebell, who led the EPA transition team during Trump’s first term, said nixing the endangerment finding could make
