What’s the difference if the meme is promulgated by a random teenager or the president of the USA? It’s the same thing!

That being said, when Trump acts this way, I do think the better response from democrats is an eye roll and a quick note about how it is just further proof the leaders of the GOP act like petulant children and can’t be taken seriously, and leave it at that.

“… They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

But then they go out to their press conferences, where we can’t fact-check them in real time, and keep trying to spout that lie. The American people aren’t buying it.”

Trump says they were respectful in his office and then talk like crazy people when they leave. Did they spend the whole time talking about his redecorating?

She reminds me of Sarah Palin, in that she can't process the question so that every answer is the same: [some Democrat] created this problem.

she may actually make Sarah Huckabee likeable in comparison.

Russ Vought told you what was going to happen once Project 2025 was implemented. The goal is to "traumatize" civil servants and make them so miserable they will quit which will reduce the size of government. He is gleeful that there is a government shutdown.

Apparently, you are unaware of what civil servants do. They help all of us every single day...so making them miserable will make all of us miserable over time. It might be helpful if you read The Untold Story of Public Service by Michael Lewis.

I am quite aware of what civil servants do. I have had numerous interactions with civil servants, contracted with civil servants, had neighbors that are civil servants, and one of my best friends works for the fed g'ment. So I like to think that my knowledge of what civil servants do and how the g'ment conducts business is at least informed. Many of my opinions about a bloated fed g'ment were formed by talking directly with them, especially my good friend who tells me stories of how overstaffed and inefficient his agency is. As well, after making a living in the corporate world implementing concepts like 6 sigma and lean mfg, I know that we could lop off 25% of the fed workforce and not miss a beat, and then start to get serious about improving the efficiency of the fed g'ment. My issue is not that trump is going to take this opportunity to make cuts, its the way the cuts are going to be made. Cutting overhead is great but if not done strategically it can make things worse than when it was overstaffed and inefficient. The dems are about to FAFO out of fear of pissing off the left flank. AOC apparently is way more influential within the dem party than I realized. Deferring to her is a huge mistake.

Sarah Palin wasn't very bright.

Leavitt is smart enough to know she's lying. She's sliming down to Stephen Miller territory.
