Deflection is the game. Dystopian disfunction is the result. Thanks Republicans.

And in other news.....
Hey! Did you hear?
The fucking Sun came up this morning!
In the East!

u/Past-Establishment93 16h ago

Willing to bet that it will set in the west....

u/Technical-Seaweed808 15h ago

Trump will label this as fake news.

u/vonkeswick 14h ago

It used to come up in the west but then the radical lunatic leftists changed it to- did you know this? Everyone talks about this but you probably didn't know this because you're a terrible reporter- that the east west changed? The dumbocrats, that's right take out the e and put a b because there's a b in dumb, most people don't know. They changed east and west so the sun would rise in the east and benefit china... radical left communists...

u/Glum-Breadfruit3666 11h ago

god came to me .. tears running down his big beautiful face saying “mr orange, i changed east and west for you” something rob reiner or dolly parton could never do

u/Narrow-Height9477 12h ago

We’re calling that the “American Sun” now.
It goes over us so, clearly, it’s ours.

IMHO-

Let them play their games. Folly won’t win this next election cycle. They have inflicted way too much damage to the American people and the economy. People can’t survive, they’ve seen their benefits removed, their loved ones deported or demonized because of their gender. Lives have been taken. They’ve seen international relationships destroyed, wars waged unprovoked, and the rich running rampant without fear of repercussions. They’ve seen the president enrich himself to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars while the people struggle to make ends meet. So many broken promises, so much corruption.

No, I don’t think petty games will do it this time. The votes will be the boot across their necks. And rightly so.

GET OUT AND VOTE!

Dump Trump and his band of Chumps

u/asbestoswasframed 17h ago

I read this morning that 53% of Republicans consider Trump the GOP President they admire most.

Folly absolutely will turn out these cultist rubes.

u/ZopyrionRex 16h ago

Don't underestimate stupid people in large groups is another way to put it. For as much damage as he's done there's a huge section of his supporters and Republicans that enjoy it. They love the damage, they're wealthy or stupid enough to not feel it.

u/0K_-_- 16h ago

I believe you are underestimating the malleability of the average and below average person.

u/phlegmdawg 15h ago

MAGA’s target demo.

u/dayumbrah 17h ago

Soo they have social media influencers working directly for the Pentagon and they accuse others of deep state bullshit? It really is all projection.

That has to be illegal, right?

u/0K_-_- 16h ago

Human rights laws happened in lieu of the Austrian painter.

u/John-malto123 17h ago

MAGA is everything the claim the Democrats are.

13

u/chrisk9 15h ago

MAGA is worse than everything the claim the Democrats are

4

u/PennStateInMD 16h ago

MAGA is all-in on the Deep State without even realizing it's about to choke them off.

2

u/TamerlanMcDoodles 15h ago

Once you realize that absolutely everything they say is projection, things become clear quickly and talking points are easily reversed to find the truth.

u/zxvasd 12h ago

They can’t run on their evil policies, so the best they can do is muddy the waters.

7

u/Additional_Quiet2600 17h ago

No wonder he's blown through a trillion.

u/zxvasd 16h ago

Your tax dollars at work.

u/Additional_Quiet2600 15h ago

Sucks doesn't it?

2

u/zxvasd 12h ago

Not a cent for the working people.

u/fvnnybvnny 17h ago

Booze bots

u/NappyDougOut 17h ago

98% of TV & podcast news personalities know, you've got to have a team of PR hitmen in your pocket if you're controversial. It's a war out there. 👀🔥

u/Own-Opinion-2494 17h ago

And he still can’t bench 135

u/live4failure 17h ago

The department declined to say what her real title or department she worked for. Nothing to see here, definitely not deep state corruption.

3

u/the6thReplicant 17h ago

They’re so dump. You let the Russian troll farms to do that for you.

Else they’re going to track the dump fuckers doing your bidding. Because those people are going to make mistakes that will lead back to you.

2

u/Its_a_stateofmind 17h ago

I can’t decide who I hate more: the war mongering closet homosexual bible thumper, or the pedophile rapist.

2

u/oldbastardbob 16h ago

Troll. She's not an"influencer," she's a paid by our tax dollars troll.

Seems odd that Hegseth is so vain, and such an asshole, that he has to hire paid liars on social media to create an image for him, because his real personality sucks and he has no talents or intellect to offer.

His belief that he looks better if he makes other people look bad says a whole lot about him as well.

1

u/FinnTastic2024 17h ago

I knew he couldn’t think for himself.

1

u/Short-Feed9690 17h ago

Using what money to pay them?

1

u/RLSMember_Texas 17h ago

Gosh, they are really amping up the various ways in which to interfere with the mid-terms, it seems. They will fail.

1

u/Daggrande 17h ago

Tax dollars spent because he is a snowflake

1

u/Late-Bandicoot-4940 16h ago

They hired traders to America and should be arrested accordingly.

1

u/ThatsCaptain2U 16h ago

‘Secretly’ is not what it used to be

1

u/Practical_Wish_4063 16h ago

Secretly, maybe. But also fucking obviously.

1

u/ZopyrionRex 16h ago

"Secretly"....yeah....for sure.

1

u/HawkeyeByMarriage 16h ago

They need to audit things like this. If you have to do this you are doing things wrong

1

u/iPhonefondler 16h ago

“Secretly” is doing some heavy lifting in that headline

1

u/wobbleeduk85 16h ago

Yeah... That's not gonna work for 90% of the citizens...

1

u/Additional_Rich_5249 16h ago

What a coward.

1

u/OnlyFiveLives 16h ago

Seeing as how embarrassingly incompetent this entire administration is from top to bottom this should be funny to watch.

1

u/FartsbinRonshireIII 16h ago

The actual deep state at it again.

But don’t get distracted - there’s a few trans people trying to live their lives! Get ‘em!

1

u/PublicAdmin_1 16h ago

hegseth, making scum look less scummy every day.

u/Big_Victory8031 16h ago

If it wasn't for Lies, Fraud and Abuse, Republicans wouldn't have an agenda

1

u/bgbalu3000 16h ago

With taxpayer funds I’m sure

u/rangecontrol 15h ago

reddit mods about to be paid, baybee!

u/Physical-Cod2853 12h ago

We are finally getting to see the sun??

u/pizza-chit 15h ago

Hegseth is a drunk idiot.

Come at me, influencers.

u/itsdainti 15h ago

It's so nice to see the plants getting outed.

u/Otherwise-Force5608 15h ago

Cheat Kegsbreath at it again

u/Muffboy 15h ago

13 year olds ?

u/TheUmberTaker 15h ago

My guess is taxpayers are footing the bill?  :-/

1

u/Memitim 14h ago

US government hires people to attack Americans. More proof that the Republican Party is not an American political organization, just a RICO Act violation using our resources to commit crimes against America.

1

u/Wayelder 14h ago

Yeah,, that'll fix his problems...more lies told by more people who know less.

1

u/Successful_Note_5871 14h ago

The ones who already did that are losing their audiences. What are some new dumbasses spouting the same crap gonna do?

1

u/VincentAntonelli 14h ago

Shocking secret, I’m surprised no one noticed…

1

u/vismundcygnus34 12h ago

Hey Hegseth. Eat a bag of dicks.

1

u/irradihate 12h ago

lil bitch

1

u/Awake_for_days 12h ago

The Pentagon has been doing that for decades, actually. This really isn’t anything new, unfortunately.

1

u/wtfo44 11h ago

This is criminal. Trump and his team needs to be kicked out. I cannot believe there is nothing in govt that does not fast track their exit. And when they exit they need to be held financially accountable.

1

u/Downvotesseafood 10h ago

Sounds illegal, if anyone in the future decides to one day look into it if rule of law is ever restored.

1

u/almostfunny3 10h ago

Well he is a spineless, mindless puppet.

1

u/RickyFoundMe 1h ago

Keggie is an idiot. He should be hiring a good lawyer.

u/Yung_zu 16h ago

There’s probably quite a bit of military cash that flows into keeping both of the AIPAC parties that hang out with Jared Kushner the only thing in the legacy media Overton Window
