All Things Trump: The Return Of The King

[Brian Peacock]

Well, no. Only the very stupidest MAGA men will accept Vance as Trump II. The regular Christian white folks against wokeness will go back to "republicans." With the basic belief that government is bad. I might agree with them about the federal government. We can fund things at the state level and keep civilization.

That's wishful thinking. Things don't all just automatically go back to how they used to be before him.

On the big level, no. The USA is now broken. Trump did it.

But at the local level, very little changed. The red states have politicians leading the state in the isolation direction, MAGA.

But the blue states will return to the previous state. MAGA folks will not speak out with racist ideas anymore. They are not so stupid as to continue. There will be no personal gain to be openly racist.

I know this pretty well. I have lived in 8 states. Back in Ohio I got my first training for dealing with the conservative. And avoiding them.

"After announcing he will close the Kennedy Center for two years in his capacity as chairman of its board, President Trump must have assumed he’d owned the liberals who once frequented events there. No more opera for you, wokerati! (A shame to miss out on “Cats,” though…) Anyway, he’d thrown down the gauntlet—and the final curtain."

"Because at its core, the shutdown is to cover up the sad truth that Trump has strangled the Kennedy Center. They can’t sell tickets, and artists won’t play ball. “Anybody that anybody wants to see isn’t willing to perform,” noted Elaine Kamarck, director of the Center for Effective Public Management at Brookings, adding that the closure is about “face-saving.”

“The closing of the Kennedy Center is singularly and solely to stop the bleeding,” one of its longtime event producers told the Daily Beast. “Yes, it’s an older building that can use some renovation, but the narrative that it’s dilapidated and infested with rats is an absolute farce. The problem is there are NO artists, NO audiences and NO donors.”

"Kamarck predicts the next president, even if a Republican, will take Trump’s name off the building. Her husband, Rep. Steny Hoyer, a longtime Maryland Democrat, jumped into our phone conversation, reminding us that with autocrats, it’s all about “what edifice they are remembered for.” Trump’s compulsion to build things and put his name on them is part of the “edifice complex” to ensure that, even long after he is dead, he will not be forgotten, Hoyer continued. “It’s all part of his belief that he is the best president ever when he is the worst… He just wants to be around forever, and he’s a builder. That’s what he’s done all his life.”
"But Trump oversold what he could do for the Kennedy Center and performers rebelled at being turned into political pawns. Audiences stayed home and donors didn’t want to pour good money into a bad faith “revamp.” Trump is left looking for someone to blame because he will never blame himself

"For those of us who loved the Kennedy Center, it’s hard to mourn an edifice that’s had its soul ripped away."

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."

Apparently it's real.

Recently, a number of states have undertaken investigations into noncitizen voting, cross-checking voter rolls with citizenship status, and found it virtually nonexistent."

"When confronted with allegations on noncitizens voting in Utah, Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, the state’s top election official, initiated a monthslong review of Utah’s approximately 2.1 million registered voters. She and her team found one “confirmed noncitizen.” Just one. And that one noncitizen, while registered, had never voted."

"Louisiana’s investigation in 2025 netted some 390 noncitizen registrants, 79 of whom had voted in at least one election over the last several decades (out of 2.9 million registrants). Just a few weeks ago, Montana found 23 possible noncitizen registrants (out of approximately 785,000 people registered). And Georgia, in some ways the model for these investigations, found in its 2024 audit 20 registered noncitizens (out of 8.2 million registrations). In my four years in office in Maricopa County overseeing voter registration, I came across a total of two possible instances of noncitizens voting out of some 2.5 million registered voters."

"These investigations affirm what is simply common sense. People largely aren’t willing to risk their status in the United States — the land of economic opportunity — for the ability to cast one more vote out of hundreds of thousands or millions in a state and hundreds of millions in the country."

"Everyone — Democrats and Republicans — should use the new state-level proof that noncitizen voting is virtually nonexistent to push back against the real danger to our democracy: craven politicians using the issue to undermine our free and fair elections."

Full disinhibition stage of his dementia.

not to mention that his depicting the Obamas as apes shows he's projecting and attributing his own traits to others.

[NineBerry]

To provide some context: Trump didn't create the video just shared it. The end bit with the Obamas is from Twitter account @xerias_x which posts a lot of ai videos with hateful messages.

The bit appears at the end of a 1 minute video where someone talks about supposed "evidence" that the 2020 election was manipulated. Given Trump's short attention span I doubt he even saw the end of the video (even assuming that the post is from himself and not some assistant)

[pErvinalia]

He's deleted it. No apology, though.

A good article on the ABC about the racist slur on the Obamas, which has brought criticism from all over, including some Republicans...

He is distracting. From Epstein.

And all it would take is 50 republicans in the Senate..or 20.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Captain Bone Spurs also watched Olympics and called Lindsay Vonn a loser.
