The people sitting around this table should be so ashamed of themselves. It's comforting to know history will not be kind to them, and they will be looked at with disdain when we look back on these terrible times. These are not serious people who deserve every criticism that comes their way.

It's mind boggling his lawlessness has ben normalized. I can't believe ANYONE, even MAGA, wants a dictator running our country!! I really wish the people who support him would realize how he is manipulating them for his own gain. He doesn't even try and hide it anymore. It's truly frightening.

It's real. He did this in his first term too. They all went around the table to praise him in a cabinet meeting. It's gotten much worse and more pathetic. The part about the Noble Peace Prize was especially ridiculous.

WTF did I just watch? I sat with my mouth open in disbelief watching them go around the table to pay "tribute" while proving the people who run our country are crazy, sycophantic weirdos. His obvious and pitiful need to be praised is cringe inducing. History will NOT be kind to this administration.

RIGHT??!!!! The fact that the mainstream media never covers any of the outrageous things he says in a straight forward way. They normalize him, and it's infuriating.
Nicole McKay (@njmckay27.bsky.social) reply parent
I so get this. It's like you can't believe he could ever be worse, but then he tops himself...daily. The sheer volume of his misdeeds, mistakes, confusion and trickery he pulls is mind numbing. This too shall pass. God...I hope we can correct some of the atrocities he's committing.

I agree with all this!! He makes me cringe every time I listen to him. I can't understand why his supporters are not embarrassed to admit they like him. I would be mortified if I voted for such an insecure, petty, little-handed, moron.
Nicole McKay (@njmckay27.bsky.social) reply parent
Right?! Just once I'd like to see the press take a lie tRump has said and confront him with the proof right to his face on camera. Make him answer for his provable lie. They never do that and there are literally tens of thousands of examples they could use. The double standard they allow is crazy.

We need a Democratic leader who is not afraid to fight dirty with tRump and say the quiet part out loud just like he does. It evens out the playing field, and I think Governor Newsom is the man to do it. I hate we have to go to tRump's level, but going "high" didn't cut it at all.

The media and members of Congress could stop him immediately if they ALL banded together and stood up to him. Ask the hard questions, and force accountability. Tell him NO! Why are they so afraid of him? Some are evil like him and want the things he's doing, or they're weak and won't stop him.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
