No Republican knows how to govern and I’ll never understand why people keep voting them in

They are trying to pillage. Then they will bail to their compounds as we fight it out on our own.

to be CLEAR, white christian conservatives dont want them to govern, they only want them to implement hateful policy/rhetoric towards Black/Brown folk

It's the world's largest and most protracted bank heist. Trump is too much of a pussy to go full Hitler.

He may well be, but I don't trust his flunkies not to. There is a whole crew of Heritage Foundation/ 2025 subs just chomping at the bit.

They suck at "attempting to rule" as well !

So true. This is the dismantling of a government by those who are petty tyrants. It starts at the top by a petty president who chose petty people without experience, following the petty president and throwing away their good sense, if they had it. The people who voted for this are guilty, as well.

The GQP has never been interested in governing. They want to rule.

They’re incompetent at everything except breaking stuff.

Governing was never going to be the point this time

When are people going understand that governments are a service that are meant to benefit their citizens.

💯

That, in a nut shell, is the bottom line. It’s not about governing. More “anti-governing.” Goes back to Reagan’s “government is the problem.” We’ve had forty years of Newt Gingrich style demonization of anyone who tries to make other people’s lives better. Not my “faith based” politics.

Then they are UNFIT for the job And should be called out for it constantly

Then we sure as shit shouldn’t be paying them. Period.

To be fair, they’re not trying to govern, they’re trying to destroy your country for two reasons: $$$ and Putin.

Governmenting is hard.

Nope, they’re just threatening people and getting paid for it.

It seems like none of the GOP can govern (started in the House) and none of them care about learning their job.

Cruelty and incompetence. What can anyone except?

Hiring RFKjr, Hagseth, Big Balls and Bongino were clear signs today’s Republican Party is no longer interested in governing and is only interested in performance for clicks.

Indeed. These appointments were cringeworthy at the very least😬A fast roll into chaos.

Homeland Shitshow

They’re trying to rule, not govern.

Exactly. This administration is about not governing to show how useless government is

I continue to be “stunned and shocked” by the incompetence of his team which seems to be drawn from the bottom feeders who compete to see who can be more outrageous…

That’s good, a real load off them. They’ve tried so hard to win the good government award.

C+ In terrorizing.

Incompetent, uncaring MFers.

Firable offense in any normal administration….

Monday is a good day to bombard the head of the House Oversight Committee and demand he hold hearings into the disastrous FEMA response.

Governing is above their pay grade and intelligence. They have zero idea how to govern.

This.

They want to rule, not govern. This is something a lot people don’t seem to realize.

Authoritarian rule is more like it, and they suck at that too.

No. They're doing a Smash & Grab crossed with a Demolition of anything they can't Steal, especially if it benefits non-Billionaires in any way, shape, or form.

The women of FOX news.

Putin does not care about such things.

True, they are not trying to actually govern, just trying to sell narratives about how they are "governing".

They ran on decimating the government. It's not like they didn't say they would do it.

Do you think the orange demagogue's conservative tax hating 'Don't touch 𝘮𝘺 hard earned income' followers will ever realized that he's a lazy SOB who just talks on the phone, signs papers he can't read and plays golf, all 𝘣𝘢𝘥𝘭𝘺?

Trump presents a nominee for his Cabinet Sane Americans scream: "this person will be terrible, people will die!" They get confirmed anyway. There is an emergency. The person IS terrible at their job. People die. Trump says the person is great at their job. Repeat Infinity.

The Trump Administration is a reality show masquerading as a government.

The entire Republican Party has NO IDEA HOW TO RUN A DEMOCRACY. They've done NOTHING for 🇺🇸 except run up our national debt and enrich themselves EVERY TIME they get control of the Whitehouse and Congress. What the hell George? You still have one foot in? Get WOKE George. Wake ⏰ up.

I think George was being sarcastic. But you're absolutely right! The republican base have relied on the infrastructure that was built before and has allowed them to enrich themselves. They have skewed the playing field through re-districting and powerful lobbyists. Also citizens united.

Trump thinks the government is a business, it's not. It's not about profit, it's about keeping the country running and keeping the citizens safe. Everything trump does is money related so his unqualified minions like Noem think that their first responsibility is money not safety.

You are so right.

We are living in a hellish reality show. Performative politics. People are getting the show they voted for but reality is we all are to suffer. People are dying. People are going to die. Reality. Give me coherent government. This shit show is dangerous

Exactly

Are you trying to say dictating is not governing?

Nope they are just seeing how long they can con us all to take as many resources and money as possible while inflicting hell on as many of their perceived enemies like the libs and immigrants as possible. Once we do all uprise enough against their BS I bet they all flee to somewhere like Russia.

Yep, the GOP's basic premise is that the gov't doesn't do shit. Then they have to go prove it

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Trump hates America he likes Russia period

Not unless you prioritize the 3 R’s. (Revenge, Retribution and Retaliation).

I doubt if Trumposhenko at any point actually followed what was happening. Noem didn't either. This incompetence throughout our government now is starting to bear poisoned fruit. Trumposhenko doesn't care 'cuz he's too busy stealing and arranging ways to steal more in the 4 yrs or so he has left.

Fair enough!

Bingo Bingo Chicken Dinner

Trump me once, shame on you. Trump me Twice….

Same type of success with government as businesses. Smoke and mirrors to siphon off as much money as possible until the unaware are woken. A con man is gonna con…that’s what they do.

No, not governing. Ruling like kings.

Yes, kings who have been inbred for generations

No, they are not. #Rigged2024Election

It’s just a money grab beginning from trumps first stint in office to the final countdown to America’s death for our democracy…

as I've said for decades, Democrats govern, & Republicans rule.

Let’s be clear, Noem was an exceptionally poor governor during a major flood in 2024 and continues her malfeasance in her new role. This administration is staffed with a lot of unserious folks.

Trump is only capable of managing a TACO stand...

I WONDER if this is what happens when you're dealing with mentally ill criminals like Benedict Donald and JuDas Vance.

Destruction is the point

Correct.

They are ungoverning. That’s what Project 2025 is all about.

They are the doctors who hate medicine, the teachers opposed to education, the environmentalists polluting our lands, and the Christians who detest their neighbors. They are MAGA and we will have to rapture them ourselves.

Trump is trying to wreck our nation. He really is. He wants to destroy everything good because he hates it. While getting rich by cheating.

Precisely!

What they're doing is more like eating than governing.

Yes, kleptocracy is not about effective government. It’s about keeping the suckers looking left while the con man grabs with his right hand. The religious right is only another set of suckers doing the boring stuff the kleptocracy doesn’t have time or interest in doing. Like dismantling democracy

They are trying to rule

Right! They're trying to demonstrate why the government is so bad, by becoming the government and being bad!

R's "FEMA is Terrible!" (FEMA contractors answer 97% of calls within 40 seconds and offer help and assistance) (R's fire all the contractors, calls are now not answered) R's "See, we told you, FEMA is Terrible!"

Russian stooges are there to deliver on the cyber warfare bargain. Anarchy for $$$ and power

Yep. They don't govern. They rule.

She should be prosecuted for manslaughter. Don’t know if it would stick but somebody should try.

Let’s include Elon in that indictment!

Governing for them is performative. The less they govern the more they blame the government and the more they can privatize. Since the 1960s. Ghouls.

Que the "Yakety Sax" song.

Agreed! They are trying to ruin the lives of every American. Too bad 77M were stupid enough to vote for this!

I remember the Clinton-Gore years and how heavily Gore was into governance then and as a Senator. And I think about G W Bush, born at 2nd base and his poor performance w Katrina and pre-9/11, Iraq, and it’s no wonder he praised Brownie. Bush really lowered the standards for governance.

Krasnov had a Katrina moment by praising the Texas response.

Grifting. The Trump administration GRIFTS. It doesn’t govern.

There’s a vast difference between governing and ruling. Just as there’s a vast difference between being a strong man and being a strongman.

Governing is work. They are working their agenda and it does not involve actually governing.

Correct. They are TRYING to put our government - in the ditch - so they replace it with Council For National Policy's brand of fascist theocracy. YES, Ginni Thomas is on the CNP board. And Leonard Leo. CNP Vision statement 👇

Governing? No. They are just here to rape and pillage. You're doing a good job George trying to keep these scumbags honest.

Vladimir Putin, "Donald Trump sucks perfectly."

I think they were surprised that governing takes a lot of work

Apparently, trying to cover up all of his crimes and conspiracy theories takes his whole administration, fox entertainment, pundits, and assorted other maga to try and pull it all off. Don't think it's going well. But thats just me.

I guess he overlooked this part when he told the journalist in TX she was horrible for asking a question supported by the actual evidence

To be fair, governing is not what Vladimir told Donnie to do. Destruction and chaos are fine, with generous leeway for ad-libbing.

"To be fair, they’re not trying to govern." Exactly, they're there to tear down and disrupt.

They don't know how!

Bergen Belsen Barbie was too busy with her torture concentration camp in Florida for turning detainees and dissidents into alligator shit.

Absolutely correct — they are trying mightily to dismantle and destroy. Any profits that remain will be siphoned into tfg’s pocket.

Alan Wolfe's 2006 article remains relevant: washingtonmonthly.com/2006/07/01/w...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Republicans CAN'T govern. They're too focused on getting rich people more money and oppressing "those" people that they completely ignore doing their jobs.

Governor of South Dakota looks great on a resume, but it in reality, no one lives on South Dakota.

You would think that Republicans (most of whom thought Trump was a joke 10 years ago) will come to their senses when a certain line of incompetence is crossed.

Correct. Governing isn’t even on their radar. They’re trying to extract wealth.

regiming is more profitable

Mr. Conway, why can't DOJ feed the "files" into AI and ask AI to produce the list? Isn't that what AI is supposed to do? Analyze data?

Haven't you seen enough evidence that AI isn't reliable? I mean look at Grok.

I guess that's why there are several options, right? I use the Google version a lot and it's been objective. Elon has an agenda. I'm pretty sure there's a way to get reliable information otherwise why spend billions and billions of dollars on it? Respectfully.

Doesn't your comment that Elon have an agenda actually prove my point? The DOJ can use AI to produce a list to promote a certain agenda. I mean lets be honest, this DOJ is anything but objective in how its pursuing the law.

My point was that a list can be produced so I don't understand the emphasis on "we don't have a list." Analyze the data you do have and create a list. Respectfully.

If they actually care about DOJ norms,which they may in this instance, the DOJ doesnt release names of people who are alleged to do wrongdoing.

all they want, is to line their own pockets, and those of their billionaire asshole friends

They want to rule. That’s a different action with different goals and results.

Are any lawmakers going to SCOTUS to prevent any president from not trying to run more than 2 years?

They are trying to create the appearance of governing to cover the fascism in the background. But Nazis gonna Nazi.

Dismantling and grifting

Of course not. Presidenting is very hard.

That was never their intention, never.

💯

Exactly. They don't want to govern. They want indefinite, unchallenged rule.

They are too busy destroying to take up 'governing.'

🎯 Quite the opposite.

I reminded myself of this today. If their goal is to dismantle the federal government, then they are doing a smashing job.

They are trying to terrorize us into submission. Resist!!

He’s just trying to stay out of jail for his multiples convictions and still pending lawsuits .. that’s it. Follow the money.

They are not. They don’t know how anyway so they’re not trying.

Classic

Well that’s a relief!🍌

Tearing down is always easier than building up.
