If social media companies took their responsibilities to their clients seriously and didn't just ride roughshod over the objections of pretty much everybody, this could have been avoided.

23 Nobel prize winning economists say trump’s tariff plans mean higher prices, higher inflation and a larger deficit. He doesn’t understand what he’s doing, clueless.

I don't know that and you don't know that

Everybody knows it- the reason he fell on his sword is that he desperately wanted to avoid the very first question he would've been asked in the senate confirmation hearing for the position of ATTORNEY GENERAL- 'Have you paid women for sex?'- which would have put him in the situation of either admitting that he had, and had therefore broken the law or denied it and perjured himself, and the mountain of evidence would be exposed. His third option would be to plead the fifth against self incrimination as he answered congress, under oath, while he faced a federal investigation into his criminal behavior. Even by the chaotic standards of trump's bizarre picks, that would have been impossible for him and would have forced even senate republicans to vote against the confirmation.

'but then he’s cool with the adjudged sex pest and convicted fraudster as POTUS, so it’s not surprising.'

More baseless allegations.

Proven and convicted.

Also important to keep in mind Mr Gaetz had no formal charges brought against him by prosecutors and he vigorously denies all allegations.

So why is he so scared of the report that he quit two days before it was released?

Well, we've admitted we lost, haven't started an insurrection, haven't lied about electoral fraud, haven't attacked the capital or threatened to hang anybody- so we're doing better than your mob did.

The writers just can't help themselves. They've had nearly 4 years of Democrat leadership looking after their own interests to the country's detriment, and can't imagine it being any other way. 

This is going to be a very entertaining 4 years, if nothing else.

Yeah it will be if you keep writing fan fiction like this.

JD Vance has suggested that American support for NATO should be predicated on the European Union not regulating Elon Musk and his X social media platform.

He’s right, not not corruption, that’s ensuring everyone has access to free speech

You are advocating that an international treaty that has kept millions safe for decades should be destroyed because an American business disagrees with laws in the constituent sovereign countries.

There will be corruption on a massive scale. Trump’s on my motivators are money and revenge. The corruption has already begun- JD Vance has suggested that American support for NATO should be predicated on the European Union not regulating Elon Musk and his X social media platform.

Trump, OTOH, has run six companies…into the ground.

And revived them and created new ones, the main thing is, that he has experience as a realtor

Yeah, that's the main requisite for being president- failed businessman.... and realtor!!! lol

And he got his namesake “university” closed for defrauding the students. Closed after he paid $25,000,000 in a class-action lawsuit.

And?

And... his business model either runs on fraud or goes bankrupt. That's why it matters- he's a criminal. The fact that this doesn't bother you shows the moral dereliction at the heart of the maga cult.

And that’s Musk job to cut spending, given his record with him being as cheap as he is, I’ll take his word over any economist.

Musk sacked 80% or so of twitter staff after he bought it and its value has now dropped by 80%. Only a fool wants that for the US economy.

Trying to equate a comedian’s joke from 4 years ago (that destroyed her career, btw) with the republican candidate fantasizing about murdering his political opponent is the most spineless thing I’ve heard in quite a while. The party of trump is a violent cult and none of its maga supporters have the guts or ability to admit the glaring amorality at the cult’s core. Fealty to trump above all. The Republican Party will spend the next decade trying to work out what stands for after the grifter is finally flushed next week.
