Monster doesn't seem like a harsh enough word for what he is.
Is anyone else sick to fucking death of reading about all the shit he gets away with? It’s all the headlines are now.

I've been saying all year that I feel like I'm watching a crook break into a bunch of houses, steal everything, and burn the houses down while the police just stand there and say "that's illegal". Trump is on a very blatant crime spree and the people who are supposed to enforce the law are doing nothing except sometimes tell us that what he's doing is illegal

Still waiting for the American people to do something.
They did, they elected him to the presidency.
Twice!
The benefits of having a massive cult that literally thinks you can do no wrong.
Taxing the non-rich to give tax breaks for the rich isn't even outrageous conservatism: it's par for the elitist course. Our own trump-loving cons still preach Pz Reagan's trickle-down theories, and want to secede because we insist they care a little about the plebes.
Paying back their rich friends for bankrolling the campaign is and has been a big part of their platform.
Apathy fuels the machine
Surprising. No. One.
If his stop porters could read, they might be
I don't think that literacy is necessary to see it coming when a cruel billionaire who consistently exploited the working class opts to help the wealthy instead of helping the working class. This is less about reading and more about pattern recognition. It should only be surprising when somebody bucks their reputation and patterns, especially where it's spanned several decades.
oh they can read.. and they are seeing how they are being fucked over, and how he isnt hurting the right people.
and they are upset... Until they arent, then they'll magically forget all their personal suffering and go back to cheering for trumpism.. while booing the democrats who have fought so hard for them to have these protections and help, and who will fight to get ot reinstated for them again.
Good! The LAST thing I want my Tax Dollars being used for is POOR STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN when there's BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS that are Upset!
Why do it quietly?
This asshole is throwing hedonistic Gatsby parties, focusing on destroying the WH to build an Epstein ballroom, and fixated on getting a stadium named after him.
Then America keeps taking it up the ass
Can I at least get a reach-around?
It's become comical at this point, tax cuts for the wealthy and people screaming "tax the rich". It's going to break.
If only.
No shit. Now what?
Maybe a protest in about 3 to 4 months will get him shaking in his boots?
Surely the supreme court will step in and stop this, too?
afterall, if we have to stop SNAP payments because of the debt, then surely tax breaks for the rich, which would make debt even worse, must also be blocked immediately and without hesitation..right?
You'd think
Since when does her do anything quietly?
A true "man of the people," as described by a poor coworker
