Donald Trump was in his full glory over the weekend at the annual Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conference. For his MAGA people, Republicans, and other neofascists and followers, Trump is like a father figure, preacher, teacher, confessor, lover, and god messiah prophet all in one person. In that way, CPAC is Donald Trump’s “church family” – only the church is full of fascism, hatred, wickedness, cruelty, and other anti-human values, beliefs, and behavior. Trump masterfully wields and conducts this energy.
Donald Trump’s speech at this year’s CPAC was truly awesome. As used here, “awesome” does not mean good, but instead draws on the word's origins as in "inspiring awe or dread.” In his keynote speech on Saturday, Trump said that America is on a “fast track to hell” under President Biden and the Democrats and that “If crooked Joe Biden and his thugs win in 2024, the worst is yet to come. Our country will sink to levels that are unimaginable."
Trump is an expert on leveraging everyday people’s pain points and personal fear.
... . He also made great use of the classic propaganda technique, as though he learned it personally from Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels: Accuse your opposition of that which you are guilty of.
The New York Times detailed Trump’s ominous speech as follows:
On the other hand, Mr. Trump promised on Saturday that if he is elected America will be “richer and safer and stronger and prouder and more beautiful than ever before.” Crime in major cities? A thing of the past.
“Chicago could be solved in one day,” Mr. Trump said. “New York could be solved in a half a day there.”
He had 4 years, why didn't he?
“I stand before you today not only as your past and future president, but as a proud political dissident….“For hard-working Americans Nov. 5 will be our new liberation day — but for the liars and cheaters and fraudsters and censors and impostors who have commandeered our government, it will be their judgment day…. Your victory will be our ultimate vindication, your liberty will be our ultimate reward and the unprecedented success of the United States of America will be my ultimate and absolute revenge.”
"judgment day"
(lots more scathing, depressing and terrifying content to this expose')
... The American people were told repeatedly what would happen and through both their active and tacit support for Trumpism and neofascism (indifference or otherwise not voting for President Biden and by implication American democracy in this decisive moment) allowed it to happen. How great is the American people’s drive to self-destruction? We will soon find out in eight or so months.
MAGA cheered because they've chosen to emulate the major cognitive decline. That's how cultists are.

The Very Strict Rules and Regulations of the Department of Injustice STATE CLEARLY that you can’t prosecute a Political Opponent, or anyone, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS/HER CAMPAIGN. Why didn’t they bring these FAKE Charges THREE YEARS AGO? That would have solved all of their problems. (The answer is that they AIMED for the various trials to come up during my campaign for President, 2024!). This includes DOJ subservient “subsidiaries” like local D.A. & A.G. Offices. In other words, all of these FAKE POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS (PERSECUTIONS!) OF CROOKED JOE BIDEN’S POLITICAL OPPONENT MUST BE IMMEDIATELY HALTED! https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrum ... 7400178095

He’s got a slight point - why did MAGA Merrick wait?
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
He’s got a slight point - why did MAGA Merrick wait?
Merrick's slowness is definitely an issue worth discussing. However, for most of this period Dolt .45 was not a candidate. As usual, he's lying about the timeline. He decided to run because he knew these prosecutions were coming. The prosecutions were and are not dependent on his being a candidate.

He was always gonna run, declaring the day after the mid terms was done with the indictments and prosecutions in mind so he could scream louder.

... At 77 and 81 respectively, Trump and Biden are the oldest people to run for the presidency in US history....
The crowd reportedly went silent as the Trump referenced Obama, who left office more than seven years ago. It’s the third time Trump has made the blunder in the past six months.
"the Trump"?
... Trump’s mistake came the day after Biden, twice confused Ukraine and Gaza as he announced that the US would airdrop humanitarian supplies to Palestinians in Gaza who are dying of starvation due to the Israeli bombardment and blockades.
“In the coming days, we’re going to join with our friends in Jordan and others who are providing airdrops of additional food and supplies into Ukraine,” Biden said on Friday. The US will “seek to open up other avenues into Ukraine, including possibly a marine corridor”, he added.
2024 sucks.
... A new New York Times/Siena College poll found that 73% of registered voters polled believe Biden is too old to be an effective president, including 61% of those who voted for him in 2020. Voters seem less bothered about Trump, who is just four years younger, with 42% of those polled saying he “just too old” to be an effective president....
Joe's team needs to get on that discrepancy, hard, the moment that Nikki Heat turns off the heat.

Despite being on SS and Medicare I'm no absolutist on the finances. For example, I would end the income cap on collections - a tax increase - and would means test benefits - a spending cut. Neither have proved very popular So, IMO reasonable discussions can be had. However, the extended gibberish is an issue of concern.
He is not ok.

Please, no more paperwork. What little can be saved through means tests is lost to the time and expense of testing and evaluation of the tests. Toss in a few workarounds for the well connected and any savings disappears

Understood, but if SSI does the means test automatically based on income tax returns then it's no more effort for recipients and the workarounds have already been incorporated. Plus, how many fat cats will put much effort into protecting their relatively paltry SS payments?
