Feel used and tossed aside yet, “Trump is a populist!” types?
He’s a chameleon; he creates a populist backing to achieve the outcomes he really wants. (i.e. the Ukraine minerals deal)
Outcomes he wants or outcomes his minder wants?
I’m amazed to say it, but Russia has won the Cold War.
Yeah, because trumptards like me really take the news headlines at WaPo seriously. We’re just too stupid to know what’s best for us.
Americans are still pretty down on the economy–I’ll concede that. But let’s not pretend that most CEOs aren’t nostalgic for the Republicrat “curated market” of 2020-2024, which is the main reason for middle class malaise.
Bezos’s Byzantium Bulldog is big mad because the establishment (whom 95 out of 100 CEOs supported ardently for the last 6-8 years) isn’t winning, and the other 5 CEOs who recognize the difference between true market capitalism and crony corporatism have gained the upper hand.
It was tremendously generous of Bezos to bail out this bankrupt newspaper a decade or so ago, and to give them almost complete artistic license, including (at least mildly) to criticize Bezos’s other holdings, and even Bezos himself. But boy did that WaPo clown car lose its dookie when he wouldn’t let them endorse their uniparty standard bearer: the Kamala Biden and Jill Walz ticket.
Keep doing whatever you have to do to avoid concession, Lauren. Blame the Democrats or the transgendered or whoever you need to justify your support of Dear Leader. It was all made clear on Election Day – Trump and all the money folks on the inside, “the people” standing on the outside, tossed aside and abused. Whatever it takes to give billionaires another massive tax cut. Next will be Social Security and Medicare.
“I never thought leopards would eat MY face,’ sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.”
What a relief that Joe B is here to relate to us the same talking points as his beloved USAID-enriched legacy media. Maybe he can find a new job for his dear friend Joy Reid.
Ah yes–the GOP is the party of the billionaires. Fundamentally I have to agree with you…if you count the GOP of McConnell, Romney, Haley, Graham, Cheney, Kinzinger…and even some of the dimmer lights like Paul Ryan (remember him?), Ben Sasse, This is, of course, the same subset of the GOP that hobnobbed with Kamala all last summer.
Isn’t this the point where you supposed to drop the Turkish proverb about trees? Are statists like you even capable of conceiving of a world without corrupt corporate cronyism (AKA “public private partnerships”)? I mean, they helped Germany recover from the seesaw economy it had during Weimar era, so I GUESS that’s a good thing.
So, the people who screw over the consumer are thrilled that a guy who built a career screwing over consumers are happy? Duh.
