In short, it’s selfish myopothy. “I don’t see how this will immediately and directly benefit me so I oppose it and, now that I have made my uninformed knee-jerk decision, I refuse to listen to opposing arguments that might cause me to admit that I was ever wrong about anything.”

You might recognize this behavior in other aspects of society. It is not isolated to transportation infrastructure.

And this time they pinky swear that they mean it!

Giving far too little credit to Congress and the Supreme Court. He couldn’t have done it without them.

US government really wants to keep Trump as the face of this shift so people don’t realize that once he’s dead that the the killer is still in the house.

Or, as it will be described after the next shooting, “federal agents sprayed with chemical weapons were justified in their use of lethal force.”

Taxing Americans because other countries don’t support his dementia fueled fever dreams of conquest. Yup, that’ll teach 'em.

See folks? The GOP isn’t the cause of this cluster fuck of a situation. They are just as frustrated as you. The GOP is sympathetic. You like the GOP. They are on your side.

The reference to the plane close to the beginning suggests that yes, so long as you can refill fast enough, or while flying than you can travel in perpetual daylight.

Fiscal responsibility, right here people.

Putin is what I imagine it would be like if a Bond villain won.

What about “special military operations” which is what Putin was calling his invasion of Ukraine?

His words are worthless.

Just a reminder that additional farm subsidies were also issued during Trumps first administration because of his trade war with China and Europe. They disproportionately benefited wealthy corporate farms over smaller individual owned farms.

This is not a correction this is the plan.

It’s almost like his decision to appoint loyalists and psychophants instead of qualified personnel was a bad decision.

Just guessing here, but I would think it’s for for clarity and brevity. West and South are shorter to say and distinct enough to avoid being easily misheard causing somebody to go in the opposite direction than intended.

Absolutely. His ego could not accept the loss so he decided to make it his idea, ignoring that he has the power to unilaterally release the files without a law from congress.

But, if there were so many angry Republicans, as the article suggests, their anger is not resulting in a change in behavior and is effectively useless. Even MTG has made her frustrations moot by resigning instead of standing against Trump.

Only after Trump told them to.
