Trump's Second Term

As ever with the MAGA crowd, the sheer level of delusion is sorta incredible. How they could still think that Trump has any interest in or would actually make things less swampy or end our 2 tiered justice system is a bit baffling. I'm get that Republican propagandists have created a fantasy alternative reality that they live in, but there are just so very many holes in it for those who aren't actively stopping themselves from asking the bigger questions.

Surely a provocateur, though you can't be absolutely certain.

I'm doubtful that that's a provocateur, on the other hand. They might not actually be representative of all, of course, but plenty of Republicans have been well aware that they have been supporting a truly horrible person all along. They consider the ends to justify the means, though, without properly considering how the means affects the ends.

Trump's budget balloons military spending to over $1 TRILLION per year — while cutting roughly that amount from Medicaid and SNAP benefits for poor and working class Americans.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon just failed its 7th consecutive audit.

Epstein material is out there. There are videos and so on. Why did the heirs not sell it to the press yet?

Well, how do you know what material is "out there"? If there was anything career-ending for Trump, why hasn't anyone used it against him? Does Trump have no enemies?
 
At the NYT Maureen Dowd wrote, "She [DHS Secretary Kristi Noem] recently enacted a debilitating rule designed to cut the FEMA budget, dictating that every grant and contract over $100,000 needs explicit permission from her. As CNN pointed out, that’s “pennies” in an agency where disaster costs soar into the billions. At the same time, The Times reports, the agency didn’t answer nearly two-thirds of calls to its disaster line because it had fired hundreds of call center contractors. (Now, confronted with the Texas disaster, the administration is backing off the eradication plan.)". CNN stated, "As CNN has previously reported, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — whose department oversees FEMA — recently enacted a sweeping rule aimed at cutting spending: Every contract and grant over $100,000 now requires her personal sign-off before any funds can be released."
