Trump promised the social media nutjob faction, the corrupt billionaire faction, and the low-brow entertainment faction that they'd each get to call all the shots. Kinda awkward when they all get in the same room together.
I think the US is going to have a health epidemic of falling-out-of-windows soon.
That is more of a russian thing. We have Hoffa's, as in gone without a trace.

In other words; a bunch of ultra wealthy nepo-babies with the IQ/EQ comparable to the average 14 year old boy are hanging out at a luxury country club deciding the future of our nation, and despite having collectively been in the game for almost a decade, they still have no idea what they're doing.
We've come full circle, back to the "founding fathers" in terms of letting the wealthy few decide our future, yet our modern cast of wealthy few are wealthy fools who likely wouldn't survive a week without their personal assistants.
because each and everyone of them think that they are the real shit
It was nice having a break from these news stories for four years with a boring Biden administration.
What break? The media couldn’t give up their orange addiction. Remember how much news there was for every trial?
I didn't bother to pay attention because he wasn't at the levers of power the whole time. It was bliss.

This is why the Media helped Trump win. So they will have endless stories like this.
I hated it so much last time. Too stressful. When Biden won in 2020 it felt like a weight was lifted off me.
I see a lot of takes like "The media learned nothing from 2016/2020."
My enby in Christ, our blessed ever perfect capitalism means they can NEVER 'learn' or even 'care' about what is best for the country. It will only ever be about the click$.

I feel like if we're to get out of this unscathed it'll be because of this kind of infighting. AntiMAGA people in gov't should find as many ways to stir the pot as they can.
EDIT: y'all - definitely agree that we're not getting out of this unscathed, you can quit pointing out my poor choice of words
We didn’t get out unscathed last time. The fucker got ~~2~~ 3 SCOTUS appointments and whole mess of lower judges.
No chance we’re fine after this one either.

We're not getting out of this unscathed.
The infighting and arguing is, at best, the grifters trying to secure the best grift for themselves at the expense of everyone else.

These people are so mature and well adjusted that this could be accomplished by simply walking up to Trump and saying "did you hear what Vance said about you last night?" and then walking up to Vance and saying "did you hear what Elon said about you?" and then asking Elon "did you hear what Don Jr said about you?" No elaboration, let their "imaginations" run wild.

Yeah the sith had issues with infighting too, kind of a mark of authoritarian takeover.
It's important to remember our history.
overwrites the Sith Empire history with some weird consciousness transfer deal
Honestly kind of a nice metaphor?
Trump’s team is slowly discovering why we have government and bureaucracy.

Media companies have realized what foreign governments have known for years. If you want all the inside knowledge of what goes on in the Trump White House, send a spy to Mar-a-lago. You don't need clandestine agents when Trump and his crew discuss all this stuff openly, and all you have to do is pay to get in.
Hell, the dipshits willingly talked to the Watergate guy who ended up writing a book about it (instead of actually telling people about the shit, because that doesn't make you money).

Hopefully they just tear themselves apart from the inside and everyone just bails and we can have another election with some decent fucking candidates.
Yet another headline you’d never have to worry about seeing under any other normal presidency.
