He should have retired decades ago after his first term, like most of them.

Didn't he have mental issues?

"That woke me up to : Not all Trump supporters are dangerous evil individuals."

#Democracy

My instinct tells me to be cynical but they have been trying to destroy his life (legally financially and physically) since 2016, so I'm going to hold out hope he won't easily forget that.

Hopefully he has enough people around him who also won't forget

"You bigot! We need these humans to suffer through dangerous illegal border crossing and live in a perpetual state of nonidentity so that our lawns can be clean and our vegetables can be cheap!

Why don't you garbage deplorables understand that?

You can't love the good if you won't name the bad.

Is this 3D Chess?

This doesn't look like 3D Chess..

Likely compliance related. But this isn't what moves the needle anyway.

Just use the yearly list Rand Paul compiles..

”Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, released his 2023 β€œFestivus” Report, totaling ~$900,000,000,000 in government waste.”

Didn't he already give up his seat though?

Or was that fake news?

Huh?

Didn't he already resign from his seat in Congress?

Celebrities that wanted to leave California can now use Trump as an excuse rather than blaming the people ruining the place.

What is it called when someone makes themselves into an actual strawman and becomes a counterpoint to their own logic?

Oh, you mean because literally Hitler was elected?

Projection in the worst way.

This is why "toxic masculinity" was one of their first targets.

Wouldn't watch if they listened to me, but they should copy the XFL and force two point conversion attempts.

Sometimes I argue for the sake of the third party readers in a thread, but I'm not sure anyone is going to gain anything from me explaining why it is not good to wish for the collapse of a country of 150m humans.

Everything is downstream from culture.

There are parallels to Zimbabwe.

But the important thing to remember is that Robert Mugabe got what he wanted.

He got power.

Sure, the country was ruined, and the trillion dollar Zimbabwe note is a joke, but the elites somehow end up OK.

So don't chalk it up to stupidity. They know what they are doing, they just don't care about the consequences to the common man.

The people who need to be told the story about Zimbabwe right now are the average citizen who may not have thought through the implications.

It's like a fever dream

If the big players are on board, then usually they are embracing the complexity involved with participating which is a barrier to entry for potential competitors.

Like when Facebook was begging for regulations. They didn't want to be regulated, but they wanted rules that would be hard to follow for new players in the space with smaller scale and resources.
