Once again, I have to point out: THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANY OF THIS!

[Scrivener7]

The whole world has been sickened and terrified and endangered by that asshole.

But there is no point to this and there never was.

1. Trump's stupidity is the reason.

Give that dope another trophy.

[enough]

3. For the rest of us the question is, how did his stupidity come to rule over us?

[Dave says]

16. Ask the 74 million idiots that voted for him

[MerryBlooms]

2. Follow the money. Who made big bucks today? trump is always about the grift.

[BeyondGeography]

4. President Trump was always an impossibility stupid idea

And we did it twice with four years to think about it in between.

As Paul Krugman put it the other day, obviously there are too many people in this country who are incapable of recognizing a serious, responsible person.

This is why de-risking from America is very much a thing.

5. No reason?

*cough* Epstein Files. *cough*

[Intractable]

18. Yesterday, I sardonically mused with my wife, "At what point do these distraction crimes outweigh the Epstein Files."

In other words, when will Epstein be used to distract from even worse crimes (like mass murder).

At what point does the number of people who have been murdered outweigh the child rapes?

6. There has been no reason for

ICE violence and cruelty for ridiculous immigration policy, for DOGE supposed cuts the list of the things Republicans have done for no good reason is endless.

[Scrivener7]

7. Not for ANY of it.

Not for all those construction companies in NYC and their hundreds of employees that he put out of business because he decided not to pay them for work done well.

Not for the ruin of Atlantic City.

Not for 100000 extra deaths from Covid

Not for probably dozens of sexual assaults, including of children.

Not for my family friend, a child, to have spent two months in a concentration camp with a head injury and without a change of clothing.

Not for ANY of it.

[Martin Eden]

20. Well, actually, there ARE reasons for those things

The brutal ICE immigration policy is an ethnic cleansing of brown people by this vile racist administration and those who promote the "Replacement Theory" that white Americans are being replaced to the extent that whites will no longer be a majority, and "their country" will cease to exist.

The mission of DOGE (an extension of Project 2025) is to accomplish in a short period of time what the Republican Party has been trying to do at least since Reagan -- shrink "Big Government" to a size that can be drowned in a bath tub (as Grover Norquist put it).

It's not surprising those grandiose plans have have been hampered by courts and the incompetency of the sycophants comprising the Trump administration, but I think we should expect those efforts to continue.

[Nasruddin]

8. The point is....

the greater glory of Trump, and your total attention to this matter! Thank you.

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. and. . . . . "Epstein who??"

[tazcat]

10. Prison, Tick tock...

[BigmanPigman]

11. Two names...EPSTEIN and BIBI

That is why this is happening. DISTRACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sparkly]

12. But what if we had a president

who was sane and well-qualified, but "divisive" and/or "flawed" and/or people didn't like her laugh?!? The horror!!!

[ananda]

13. Actually there was a point to all this.

It's all about colonialism, white supremacy,
fear and greed.

I think it came as a shock to white explorers
that their whiteness represents a great minority
in the world.

And that need for domination and supremacy
still prevails on a lot of levels.

[leftstreet]

19. +1

[Dave says]

15. Pure madness

[IronLionZion]

17. He replaced Khomeini with Khomeini

so that's something. He's made prices great again. And lots of enemies around the world for no apparent reason. MAGA!
