I’m tired of hearing Republicans who voted for the Big Beautiful Bill take credit for cutting taxes. They did not. That bill made the federal government bigger and more expensive than ever. The public will bear that burden, which will more than offset those fake tax cuts.

This is a perfect metaphor for Trump’s Presidency.
1. Overpromise.
2. Pre-celebrate without results.
3. Fail, blame others.
4. Pretend it never happened.

in 1971, the federal minimum wage was $1.60 an hour.
40 hours of work = $64
at the official $35/oz gold price, that was about 1.83 ounces of gold.
today, 1.83 ounces of gold is worth roughly $7,900.
to earn $7,900 in a single 40-hour workweek today, you’d need to make about $198/hour.
$1.60/hour then.
~$198/hour today.
measured in gold.
let that sink in.

If paying a cashier a living wage will make prices go up. Why doesn't replacing cashiers with Self Checkouts make prices go down?
A good indication he’s lying is when he’s speaking. Literally can’t help himself.
Ryan Wagner, a conservative in Michigan, has had a slow-motion realization that Trump is lying to Americans
When he hears Trump talk about how much food prices have gone down, “my freaking eye is twitching.”
“I can’t even listen to him talk anymore"

The #Jets in this game had:
- more 1st downs
- better 3rd down efficiency
- more passing yards
- more rushing yards
- better red zone rate
- less penalties
- the only turnover
- much more time of possession
And still lost
He actually might be on to something. One of the most tolerable pressers he’s held in recent memory due to no audio.
This is what happens when you prioritize picking out ballroom marble over everything else. He genuinely doesn’t care, the guy is in it for him and him only,
Enten: "Trump is breaking records. Yesterday the Marquette Law School poll came out, and take a look -- Trump's worst net approval rating on inflation. Minus 61 points! That is the worst Donald Trump has ever polled on inflation, and not only that, it's the worst any president EVER has polled on inflation. Worse than Jimmy Carter! Worse than Biden! Literally the worst of all time."

Wendy's and Jersey Mike's have gotten worse — and @stavvybaby knows why:
"It's getting s***tier because some d***head who's never f***ing spread mayo in his life decided, 'Oh no, actually, instead of a sandwich, this is now a commodity.'"

It takes a special kind of business genius to bankrupt a multimillion-dollar, congressionally funded performing arts center that was running a surplus just two years earlier.

Imagine being given somewhere around 80 years on a planet floating through an incomprehensibly enormous universe, surrounded by billions of people you will never meet, mysteries you will never solve, places you will never see, and more knowledge than you could absorb in a thousand lifetimes...
and spending the whole damn thing worrying about money, arguing with strangers, impressing people you don't even like, and doing something you hate five days a week because somebody convinced you that was life.
I don't know, man.
I think we may have gotten a few things terribly wrong.
“Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.
…
And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance.”
So where do we go from here?
When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation.
The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional.
He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion.
Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room.
What looked like confidence was arrogance.
What looked like strength was insecurity.
What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion.
Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.
In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater.
-A gaudy performance.
-A caricature masquerading as leadership.
-A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to.
And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance...
