There is an absurd gap between what Trump is doing and what the swing voters who elected him were promised. They voted for the cheaper-egg candidate and received the permanent termination of cancer research in the United States instead. Winds of Change, indeed.

Funny. The only people complaining about it are the News agencies and Leftist retards who didn't even notice the prices were high until last week.

All of us who voted for Trump are feeling good so far.

Speak of the Devil...

These are the type of retards that you're getting your news from today. Enjoy it while it lasts because they will all be unemployed soon.

SALON: Surviving "political grief": You're not alone, and there is a path forward
Collective mourning at this four-year horror show is real, and highly understandable. But we're not helpless

Oh Boo Hoo, you little fucking pussies.

I missed the part where Trump voters got together and collectively had cry sessions with each other every single day in 2021.


You ARE helpless. You are helpless by nature. You are weak. You are pathetic. Most of you would be completely unfit to take care of yourselves if you went more than 2 months without a steady paycheck.

You had the power of the Media behind you for the last 12 years. This is no longer the case.

You are alone and in the cold.

The world you thought you were living in 6 months ago no longer exists.

And you will be laid off and your propaganda outfit will shutter its doors soon.

What in God's name is Trump talking about here?

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!

This is beyond weird. It's hallucinatory.

Lincoln warned the Trumptards what would happen

By Heather Cox Richardson | Jan 26, 2025

https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-26-2025

On January 27, 1838, Abraham Lincoln rose before the Young Men’s Lyceum in Springfield, Illinois, to make a speech. Just 28 years old, Lincoln had begun to practice law and had political ambitions. But he was worried that his generation might not preserve the republic that the founders had handed to it for transmission to yet another generation. He took as his topic for that January evening, “The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions.”

Lincoln saw trouble coming, but not from a foreign power, as other countries feared. The destruction of the United States, he warned, could come only from within. “If destruction be our lot,” he said, “we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

The trouble Lincoln perceived stemmed from the growing lawlessness in the country as men ignored the rule of law and acted on their passions, imposing their will on their neighbors through violence. He pointed specifically to two recent events: the 1836 lynching of free Black man Francis McIntosh in St. Louis, Missouri, and the 1837 murder of white abolitionist editor Elijah P. Lovejoy by a proslavery mob in Alton, Illinois.

But the problem of lawlessness was not limited to individual instances, he said. A public practice of ignoring the law eventually broke down all the guardrails designed to protect individuals, while lawbreakers, going unpunished, became convinced they were entitled to act without restraint. “Having ever regarded Government as their deadliest bane,” Lincoln said, “they make a jubilee of the suspension of its operations; and pray for nothing so much as its total annihilation.”

The only way to guard against such destruction, Lincoln said, was to protect the rule of law on which the country was founded. “As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor…. Let reverence for the laws…become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues, and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.”

Lincoln was quick to clarify that he was not saying all laws were good. Indeed, he said, bad laws should be challenged and repealed. But the underlying structure of the rule of law, based in the Constitution, could not be abandoned without losing democracy.

Lincoln didn’t stop there. He warned that the very success of the American republic threatened its continuation. “[M]en of ambition and talents” could no longer make their name by building the nation—that glory had already been won. Their ambition could not be served simply by preserving what those before them had created, so they would achieve distinction through destruction.

For such a man, Lincoln said, “Distinction will be his paramount object, and although he would as willingly, perhaps more so, acquire it by doing good as harm; yet, that opportunity being past, and nothing left to be done in the way of building up, he would set boldly to the task of pulling down.” With no dangerous foreign power to turn people’s passions against, people would turn from the project of “establishing and maintaining civil and religious liberty” and would instead turn against each other.

Lincoln reminded his audience that the torch of American democracy had been passed to them. The Founders had used their passions to create a system of laws, but the time for passion had passed, lest it tear the nation apart. The next generation must support democracy through “sober reason,” he said. He called for Americans to exercise “general intelligence, sound morality, and in particular, a reverence for the constitution and laws.”

“Upon these let the proud fabric of freedom rest, as the rock of its basi

You might have caught that one last year before you stopped reading USA Today because they don't report the way you want them to report anymore.

Democrats' playbook for Trump 2.0: Tune out the noise and focus on economic issues
As Trump floods the zone in his first week in office, Democrats are departing from their "resistance" strategy in his first term and zeroing in on issues that cost them the last election.

Oh. So you mean that Democrats are going to finally get the fuck out of the way and do their jobs?

Great.

Winning.

Med prices are already starting to go up. Someone I know on FaceBook, just posted that one of scripts went up 800% even with the insurance forms.

Also Trump wants to strip naturlized citizens of their citizenship in spite of these people coming into the US legally.
