#Hypocrisy, #Spinelessness, & the Triumph of Donald Trump
He said #Republican politicians would be easy to break. He was right.
By Mark Leibovich

“In the summer of 2015, back when he was still talking to traitorous reporters like me, I spent extended stretches w/ #Trump. He was in the early phase of his 1st campaign for president, though he had quickly made himself the inescapable figure of that race—as he would in pretty much every Republican contest since.

It’s astonishing that despite losing tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs to computerized automation, programmers and tech engineers told us that it was simply progress and the way of the future.

Now that AI has begun doing the same to their livelihoods and professions they’re in a panic, angry and attacking the “future” they helped to create.

#Trump Suddenly Cares About 'Insurrectionists' & Protecting Cops

#Insurrectionists beat #cops w/flag poles, crushed them w/riot shields, tased them in the neck, & spat on them during the deadly attack on the US Capitol on #Jan6, 2021. But when Trump claimed on Monday that he has no tolerance for "insurrectionists" who clash w/ #police officers, he wasn't talking about the 1,500 rioters he pardoned upon assuming office earlier this year;

The #TrumpOrganization has consistently made use of temporary #visa programs to hire #ForeignWorkers for #MarALago, 4 #Trump #GolfClubs & his Virginia #winery — filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008, including 382 during Trump’s 1st term, acc/to Dept of #Labor data.

The company’s use of short-term, temporary visas has increased steadily in recent years, from requesting 121 in 2021 to asking for a high of 178 in 2024.

this is #trump in 2011 saying #obama is weak so he will start a war with #iran

but pointing out the #hypocrisy is meaningless

today #MAGA is exalting over trump bombing iran

a few months ago they voted for him because he promised no more #USA #war in the #middleEast

🤦

know this:

#fascism has no coherence

it's power by any means

you adhere to principles

they do not

"hypocrisy!" is as useful as correcting the grammar on a notice sending us to concentration camps

they do not fucking care

#Trump makes no secret of his displeasure over the cost of renovating the #FederalReserve headquarters — around $2.5 billion, or even higher by Trump’s *accounting*.

But getting the White House to discuss another of Washington’s expensive renovation projects, the cost of refurbishing a “free” #AirForceOne from #Qatar, is quite another matter.

Officially, & conveniently, the price tag has been classified.
