Trump Enslavement Syndrome - Orange man good. /r/The_Donald and any public demonstration of rabid pro-Trump enthusiasm in spite of all reason.

It is possible he tied himself into a noose with his shoelaces using elite Mossad yoga techniques and then headbutted himself to death.

Also we found his black book full of princes and billionaires just your everyday rolodex with ‘Dershowitz—No Pants’ scribbled next to a private island number."

Being a MAGAt is fascinating, they speak entirely in bumper stickers and the second you have the temerity to ask, “Is this a good idea?” they look at you like you just offered to share a kombucha with Karl Marx. Not worthy of debating.

He probably thinks the Dow Jones is a person.

They also asked how long the detainees would be held in a Bass Pro Shop. He answered by rambling about his Oval Office redecoration.💅

I'm rapidly becoming a Kandiss fan but she is absolutely on the fast track to becoming a kind of Loomer figure (dunking on her feels like cheating.)

trump and his butt buddies cut funding to NOAA, which could have helped predict the flooding, but, sure, it's murder. these people need to be put on haldol

Not from my understanding. They apparently had the correct data get in and all, but had people removed that would normally be trying to be in contact with local authorities.

Texas supposedly doesn't have a ton of locals to really stay on top of responding to this stuff, so it sounds like they usually depend on federal services to help actually manage responses to disasters. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to argue that because the data itself was fine and some warnings went out, that the NOAA basically did its job anyway (even though they'd fired people that were meant to coordinate emergency responses).

So I'd imagine Trump's admin would like to basically argue it was Texas that fucked up, but it's a red state and probably red counties so they'd be pissing off their own party to do so outright. Saw some reporting today of what it was looking like on Fox and it was a bit pathetic seeing how many congressmen were trying to argue "now is no the time to point fingers" type talking points to avoid the obvious that something with NOAA was fucked up.

The staffing shortages suggested a separate problem, those former officials said — the loss of experienced people who would typically have helped communicate with local authorities in the hours after flash flood warnings were issued overnight.

The Weather Service’s nearby San Antonio office, which covers other areas hit by the floods, also had significant vacancies, including a warning coordination meteorologist and science officer, Mr. Fahy said. Staff members in those positions are meant to work with local emergency managers to plan for floods, including when and how to warn local residents and help them evacuate.

That office’s warning coordination meteorologist left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees, according to a person with knowledge of his departure.

It’s funny how that whole community suddenly stopped caring about pedophiles and rapists other than Epstein when Trump got reelected. I don't know one way or the other, and I think the E. Jean Carroll civil suit is bullshit, but if this was 2022 and Trump was anyone else, these same people would be calling him king of the pedos and subjecting him to Patric Tomlinson levels of harassment.

This is the consequences of small government in action playing out in front of us. A small government only works when absolutely everything is working perfectly with absolutely nothing going on. Because the moment something, anything, does happen, everything quickly falls apart.

Every retard who says government should be run like a business has it blow up in their face. Mostly because big business relies heavily on government subsidies, special tax breaks, various sweetheart deals, and regulatory capture.

They'll throw the GOP and republicans under the bus, much like how our recently departed NEET BradeRunna who was complaining about the BBB but made sure to always blame the republicans for it. This works just fine because all conservatives have decided to replace whatever their whimsy ideology used to be with being Trump's bitch.

Most Europeans are extremely smug and forthcoming about their contempt for Trump, it's truly only Americans and then the extreme fringes of non-US countries that actually like him. Even blatant agitprop fellas like Farage probably don't really like Trump and just buddy up to him for clout.

Trump is way too parvenu and classless for someone like Farage to be able to stomach.
This is a politician from a country where non-blueblood members of Parliament are mocked on radio talk shows for "being someone who bought his own furniture".
Try explaining to somebody like Trump why that's an insult amd what it means.

Not sure if this was posted before, but you people got to see this. This is exemplary of TES at it's purest form.


For the longest time I thought the biggest issue with people effected by TES was them being foolish... but this is so much worse. Like imagine you're this guy's neighbor... if this is how he reacts to his own wife getting detained, leaving his children without a mother... do you think he would help you in a moment of trouble? How could you trust him after this? Even if the person in question possess no ill intent, they are functionally amoral. No backbone, no honor.

For folks that still have MAGA friends or relatives you need to seriously start questioning how trustworthy they actually are. I assume that most of them are still within reason and will drop partisan politics for the sake of helping you and being a typical good Samaritan, but if you are holding unto hope that tigers clawing at the face of somebody completely irrational will finally bring them towards reason they used to have... it fucking won't... you may have to reduce or stop contact entirely for your own safety, because they will fully dedicate themselves to the sunk cost fallacy and will gamble everything away until there is nothing, which could include you or your close ones as well. This may sound like an extreme measure, but this is how many people had to survive (many still do) within communist regimes, where people were actively encouraged to snitch and report each other to the state, which would lead to arrests or even killings. It may not get that bad in the US, but just as a general rule of thumb, being near anybody with such unhealthy devotion to the state is just not healthy or safe.

The only thing you proved with your post is that - somehow - Trump is infinitely more decent and moral than this brit bastard.

It’s not so much a MAGA thing, but a right wing idea in general. MAGA is just the latest face for it.

For all the talk of how we need to upload family and a “sense of community”, I’ve noticed that a lot of conservatives place little to no value on the idea of a “common good”.

A common example would be how conservatives hate the idea of being taxed to pay for something that they don’t directly benefit from. To them, a problem doesn’t exist unless they experience it for themselves, and then they complain why said problem hasn’t been solved by anyone yet.

Problem is that none of them are honest about it. When I say, "them," I mean literally everyone in the government AND the voters. This isn't to protect Trump. That list encompasses so many higher up figures that we'd likely lose most of our government to arrests, vigilante justice, suicide, etc.

Hey, that doesn't sound so bad, actually.

When Trump was running in 2016, I heard an economist say that you CAN'T run a country like a business because there is a human factor to consider. A business can just lay you off and you disappear. You're done with them, and they are done with you. Trump is trying to disappear the "undesirables" by sending them to Alligator Alcatraz or El Salvador. That's not a sustainable solution.

As far as federal regulations go, they were put in place for a reason. Sure, they're not perfect and involve a lot of frustrating beauracracy, but corporate bigwigs aren't going to voluntarily do the right thing of their own accord.
