Brrrraaaassss knuckles! Get ya brass knuckles heeeere!

Can’t give ‘em the ol’ sting of the right wing without ya brass knuckles!

Of course it is. Trump is a big WWE fan. So much that he put lady McWWE in for a new position.

This has crossed my mind as well.

For the moment, I feel like this is real infighting. There must be push/pulls among MAGA. H-1B, for example, is one area where I could see real infighting. You have the rich MAGA (which ultimately runs the whole thing), but you’ve also got the poor MAGA which has been bred on a fuckton of anti-immigrant sentiment.

What might be interesting is (assuming it is indeed real infighting) if the focus on rich vs poor is brought more into the forefront due to this. That certainly isn’t something the MAGA leadership wants.

But holding one’s breath for more/better info is smart, for now.

This is exactly what is going on. If you read a headline that’s an opinion, or has may, could, slammed or hit in the title, ignore it. It’s a distraction. Trump finding the shittiest most obnoxious sounding people to lead his cabinet is also part of that strategy. He usually fires them anyway. What his former POS staff has done or said are also distractions.

I was told an old saying when I was very young that I didn’t truly understand until trump came along. I was sad because someone was saying bad things.:

At least they’re talking about you. If they’re talking about you, you’re winning.

They’re far too dumb to orchestrate this kind of theatre. What we are witnessing here is their… shall we say, natural talent.

I can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head, but there’s a special term for conspiratorial thinking based on the belief that leaders really can’t be this incompetent and that the thought of a shadowy organization pulling the strings actually makes some people feel better.

Because reality is way fucking scarier.

These are the people running our country and they’re almost exclusively all idiots.

Might be a distraction.

Might not be.

Either way, as long as they’re infighting, they’re not actually governing. even if it is just “infighting” and not actual infighting.

So let them fight.

Nah. Authoritarians always pull this shit until the cream rises to the top. Fortunately, Trump is the top. Imagine having to kow-tow to that moron and get anything done!

The theatrics might be a bit too big of a conspiracy. I think its real. Two party system means big tent politics, most of which will be at odds.

No. They have no whatsoever effect. Most Trump voters have no idea this is going on as they’ve already tuned out. Casuals don’t follow politics.

The infighting is real but it won’t have much play with how the trump administration is run. It’s because loomer and the less wealthy, less connected MAGAs did their job, they got trump in office again. They are no longer needed. So they can bitch and moan all they want it won’t change a thing.

It’s real. Just because tech bros and magats align sometimes there is still a discrepancy between the two. At the end of the day, the Maga tech bros are just higher up the ladder from the general Maga folks. In other words: there’s always bigger fish.

Don’t get too comfortable. A few project2025 true believers in bureaucratic positions could make life a living hell while these shits play reality tv in the whitehouse.

This has no impact whatsoever. You don’t need to worry because we know for a fact that they intend to pillage the government to enrich themselves.

There’s a great odd couple comedy sitcom there for the taking. Trump and Musk bring roommates in the Oval Office.

It does matter who’s fighting who. All the time they put into arguing with each other is time they don’t spend agreeing and making bullshit policy.

It matters because they have been programmed to listen to those people, and ignore the rest. It’s an echo chamber in there and so when someone inside that chamber goes off it gives all the idiots inside a big dose of reality. Will it stick? Will it last long? Doubt it. But for a brief and wonderful moment, some of those fools are forced to use their brains, even for just an instant.

He’s white, doesn’t count.

Natural born dork gonna dork.

I think she means like what she recently intentionally played a role in facilitating

She says as she wipes her lips, leaving Trump’s plane. Does she dispute Trump’s billionaire status now?
