Trump’s officials are quietly concerned about his “blatant criminal behavior.” What took them so long?
It is time to stop examining the chaos and time to do something about it.
I have a source inside the Trump regime who feels, in their own words, “a little disillusioned.” This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,” but is now concerned about the “blatant criminal behavior” of Donald Trump. Really? His last administration didn’t show you that? Well, OK.
This source first approached me by saying, “I can provide you bonafides to show you I’m serious.” That impressed me because I didn’t think many people inside the Trump regime knew what bonafides were, let alone how to be serious.
This source’s concerns about Trump are indeed legitimate, and deserve to be heard. “Not all of us are buying everything he says,” this person told me. “We understand the problem, but we see no solution. You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy. Congress can’t be trusted and the judiciary so far hasn’t been able to stop him.”
Meanwhile, with a compromised press and Trump ignoring any judicial ruling he dislikes, the Democrats are still no help. They’re nearly as crazy as Trump if they think that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could be a viable presidential candidate. No matter what they think of her policies, very few Republicans who despise Trump would vote for her. “I wouldn’t,” my White House source told me. “I’m not crazy. The far left is as bad as the far right, and they’re the reason I voted for Trump.” There are plenty of moderate Democrats who agree.
Imagine thinking AOC is far left. Ok now imagine thinking that kind of far left is just as bad as the far right.
Like for example, informing people of their constitutional rights, advocating for things like accessible Healthcare and protections for workers is every but as bad as shipping people off without due process to El Salvador prison where they’ll die, grabbed by a militarized and masked police force that snatches people off the street, or from their homes or school.
Somehow it’s the fault of the democrats who won’t accept moderate Republicans. But also there are plenty of moderate democrats that agree that the far left is just as bad.
Well it’s amazing that insiders are finally able to suspect something is wrong, but they are still so gripped by cult doctrine they can’t make any progress.
Once this Orange turd is done there won’t be another republican government elected for a long long time.
Nah, the idiots learned nothing. They will vote in line until they die
He didn’t save the world the first time (despite promising he would drain the swamp within days) so why would anyone think he would do it the second time?
I know. But they love him. Kamala didn’t inspire enough people to vote Dem which didn’t help.
Stupidity and brainwashing
Someone has got to start talking about “inclusion” instead of division
because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,”
No, woke culture unites the country. That’s the fucking point. “Woke” means you accept that everyone is different and you agree to tolerate and respect those differences. Your insistence on hating people you view as different is what divides us.
Bullshit. “Woke culture” is also filled with evangelism, moralizing, and authoritarian assertion. You guys just want different people beaten with sticks by the pigs.
🎶 Everything I don’t like is woke propaganda 🎶
Bullshit. Makes up an argument based solely on my feelings and not remotely in any fact
Let’s see you debate that
“Woke” is literally just not being a piece of shit. Everyone who whines about it is self-reporting.
No, you just get 100% of your political knowledhe from the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
All Woke means is “Live and Let Live.” What is the problem with some people choosing different paths for their lives? You go your way, they go theirs. As long as you don’t mess with their journey, nobody will mess with yours. See how that works?
It looks like you get your definition of the word from Fox News, that’s not news, just thought you should know, carry on
Social accountability (meaning being called out on social media, being fired from a job, or being boycotted) for unapologetically spewing hate speech or sexual harassment and whatever else “wokism” is against… is not the same as inflicting violence on people. Your failure to understand the difference between accountability and violent authoritarianism says a lot about your character.
Nah, that’s all fair game.
A perfect example of how terms like “woke” are indefinable.
No, it isn’t. You want something to really worry about? Communism. You should dread communism. For real. Go to bed every night praying that there isn’t a communist revolution in the US.
We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.
(Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, 1852)
Lol what the fuck is going on in these comments? Do you not know where you are? This is like the dumbest place to post such obvious bullshit about leftist ideology.
I don’t care. I’m fucking tired from an intellectual point of view with people using political terms randomly. Unless the pope starts talking about seizing the means of production, he ain’t Marxist, he ain’t communist, he’s just another fucking priest covering up for pedophiles and telling poor people to turn the other cheek. Fuck him and fuck his ilk.
Now go articulate to yourself what you think communism is and what you think is so scary about it, then maybe consider reading the source material.
Retribution is so scary about it. Unless you own the means of production or think you’re going to miss capitalism, you don’t have much to worry about.
I’m an anarchist, and guess what? We already have anarchism. My ideology just keeps winning. Stop doing capitalism, and you’re doing anarchism, even if it’s just deciding who does the dishes. Truly abandoning society isn’t pretty, and it’s scary… if you’re a giant pussy.
Stop doing capitalism, and you’re doing anarchism, even if it’s just deciding who does the dishes.
What? That’s not what anarchism is…

“Here’s what my talking parrot thinks about this issue”. Great input, if I wanted to talk to a chatbot I’d do that. This isn’t a conversation, it’s meaningless noise regurgitated by a machine.
Correct, AI responses are garbage straight up
“We understand the problem, but we see no solution."
STOP HELPING HIM IS A GOOD START.
Evidence and report his shitty behaviour and outright criminality
So what about the Democrats, I asked? “They hate us and won’t accept us. And if they don’t change their attitude, Trump and MAGA will keep winning.”
That was echoed by former Republican congressman Joe Walsh, who regularly speaks out about this. “If there’s not room for center-right former Republicans in today’s Democratic Party, then today’s Republican Party will remain victorious and our democracy will disappear,” Walsh told me.
Most of us will accept you. Just stop being awful people. It isn’t hard.
They want to be “accepted?” Fucking LOL.
Tell them to fix their hearts or die.
But also, no. I don’t think Democrats need to be this center right party. Go fix the Republican Party rather than displacing democrats.
If there’s not room for center-right former Republicans in today’s Democratic Party…
My man, there was room for hard-right current Republicans Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney. You know what their support brought to the ticket last November? Two votes in Wyoming.
“Center right?” Spare me. He was MAGA through and through until 2.0 took hold. This language is explicitly used to reinforce the Overton Window further to the right while still whining that the “left” is mean. Dems are already corporate as fuck and would rather eat their own left of center than fight against full corporate control of the federal government. Simply caring/pretending to care in some cases about minority groups Republicans ostracize is a bridge too far for poor, wayward souls like Joe Walsh. Fuck off.
Here’s the problem.
Strip Trump and MAGA from the GOP, and what are you left with?
The same shit-ass party that brought us Trump, only less emboldened.
They still want tax cuts for billionaires, no universal health care, no workers rights, no mention about climate change, no rights for LGBTQ people, no women’s rights, no non-white people in America.
Etc.
The only difference between “the party of Reagan” and MAGA is that under Reagan the GOP was much quieter about being assholes.
You know how the US and the USSR were allied against Germany, but the second WWII was over they started pointing their guns at each other? That’s where I feel like we’re at now with “center-right” Republicans like Walsh. Sure, I’ll take the help of anyone who recognizes that Trump is a threat to democracy and the ideals of the US, but the second that’s dealt with there’s gonna be problems.
To be honest, Trump doesn’t even really know what he’s doing. He just blindly signs whatever is put in front of him before he heads out to the golf course.
Yeah, they can fuck off with “just lean right, everybody and we’ll be OK.” They can go form a new party with Slotkin.
This anonymous source sounds like they’re part of the movement of Slotkin and others to make the Democratic Party more palatable to Republicans with buyer’s remorse.
How about, instead, those Republicans stand down and let the Republican Party burn. Without so-called “centrist” support and enabling, Trump won’t take the country down with him.
Everyone who still has an R by their name is a fascist.
They hate you because you’re evil shit bags whose policies hurt children, family’s, and Americans across all socioeconomic spectrums except the top 1%. You’re actively sabotaging the stability of our economy, global influence, safety, and way of life.
They realize they can opose then from with their own party, right?
This is just an excuse to avoid changing their own behavior
It’s real easy, Joe. Just stop voting for his bullshit. As long as you’re enabling him and his fascist regime, no, we’re not going to accept you.
Not me. Those fuckers knew EXACTLY what was coming, even if they were too stupid to believe it. They broke it, they can fix it - not my job to parent MAGAt morons, plus we all know they’ll just vote R next time they get the chance. Only way I WON’T consider them wasted resources is if THEY fix it.
How, you may ask? They can repeat Jan 6 with actual results this time, for starters. Because if we go 4 years with this shit they can go pound fucking sand and off themselves.
Nope. Until you forgive them for being awful, they will continue to do awful things. Everything they do, is your fault. Those are the rules.
You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy
And then he went to Salon ?
Don’t forget that to a Trumper, Fox News has more credibility than NYTimes. They’re pretty shit at critical thinking.
Doesn’t matter. You scum will still bend over. It’s a Cons natural position.
This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,”
Retranslation: This person says they’re on team reality TV star who hires news readers, influencers and family members to high powered positions without any qualifications because “DEI bad”. And joined the people who made ‘wokeness’ an issue to divide everyone with in the first place because they’re worried about it dividing people.
Have I understood that correctly?
They see what he’s doing as a problem. Isn’t that enough? We can deal with the other bullshit later. Let’s try to avoid full blown fascism first and death camps.
No, they don’t. The “criminality”, aka the way it’s being accomplished, is his problem. Not the effects.
This guy can take a long walk off a very short pier.
Take steps against your boss.
the Declaration includes a description of the king of England that Trump should memorize, and perhaps recognize: “A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of free people.”
Lol! Does anyone honestly believe that if Trump actually read that sentence, that he would even understand what it meant? You may as well be asking a 12 year old in special ed class to read and interpret Shakespeare.
Republicans have been disillusioned for decades, but they tow the party line anyway.
God help us all.
We’re on our own.
Aliens are among us tho…
I feel like they made a wrong left turn and earth is that backwater place of the galaxy where banjos start playing …
Squeal like a Klingon.
