Grace Under Pressure

“Whataboutism Joe Biden though!!” lmao Joe Biden last ran for President 5 years ago. This is the “Trump is the main rapist in the Epstein files” thread. Try to keep up. Take that Biden deflection to the Biden thread.

The real test for the followers will be 2028. If Trump senses he has all of the rubes on board to go full anti-America by betraying the Constitution and running for President again in 2028, he will do it. If the Democrats were smart, which they’re not, they would start their Presidential campaigns soon. Make the Republicans declare their intentions. If Republicans were smart, and not beholden to a cult leader, they would put an end to Trump’s authority. President in Name Only. So, what is it MAGA? Trump, or the country?

The saddest part about being in a cult, like MAGA, is the daily, nonstop defense of the cult leader by the cult followers. Always defend the leader, the leader is never wrong, etc. It’s pathetic. In almost every cult, the followers sacrifice their own self interest to further the interest of the leader. MAGA is no different. Wake up.

MAGA. It’s over. A good move, from tonight going forward, is to leave Trump slowly for JD Vance, MT Greene, and any other non-sycophants in the Republican party you may have (there aren’t many currently). You don’t have to trash him on the way out, but the time for the trolling worship is over. He’s toast.

Thinking about what Megyn Kelly said. Her phrasing was dumb, she is defending illegal behavior after all, but it’s pretty clear what she was saying. Her point was that Trump and Epstein aren’t the type of pedophiles that sexually assault pre-pubescents. They’re the type of pedophiliacs who rape girls between the ages of 14-17. Kelly just didn’t know how to say it including all of the correct words, so I did her a favor and corrected that here.

People need a link for what happened with Ivana? Get out of your cult, good lord.

MAGA is resigned to the fact that they have to defend Trump at all costs. That's what cult followers do. So, here we are, with MAGA defenses and deflections emerging fast and furious. What an embarrassment for the country.

The evidence was sealed, which takes two seconds to search. MAGA gets told this once a day. Every day, after being told: “How come Biden never released them though!!” derp derp a million times.

Biden? MAGA in full damage control mode. Face it MAGA. You got duped and supported a garbage child rapist, even though actual smart people tried to warn you about it. Now you’re stuck tripling down your support on this con man and honestly it makes you look foolish. You made him your cult leader for chrissakes. Stop already, it’s damaging the economy and trampling on our democracy. Pull yourself out while you can.

"It's Pam Bondi's fault that Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein were best friends for decades, and raped little girls together!!"

One of the best bands ever. Accurately rated. Went BIB and Brian Johnson. Have seen them live 6 or 7 times, all with Johnson.

LMAO at the deflection. The new talking points are genuinely pathetic: "Actually, the problem is that the liberalz are out to get Trump!!" No, the problem is that Trump is a rapist, and that MAGA still supports him because they are cult followers, with Trump as their leader. That's the problem. These same people are now gearing up for how supporting a Trump 2028 run is also the liberalz fault, and how they have no choice but to support Trump again.

MAGA / Trump voters should obviously never vote again, or at least not until 2032. Glad to see a lot of agreement on the matter.

Kids really dictate a lot that’s for sure.

Gotta live somewhere. May as well own a $1.1m property with a 450K 3% mortgage, if it also means having privacy in a nice location. Even if it only returns 3% yoy. Paying a landlord, living in an apartment complex, having shared walls, living on a main road, having a shared parking lot, having fewer than three bathrooms. IDK, sure. Different strokes for different folks.

Grandkids will ask “what did you do during Trump?”, and most of MAGA will either lie about supporting him or try to create another generation of bigots.

What an embarrassment. In the not too distant future, no one will admit to voting for this garbage.

MAGA. What the leader needs from you now is to know that he did it (that is he raped underaged girls); and from now on you need to accept it, and support the leader unquestioned as expected.

"Trump said it was good now, so of course I support it!!" Do people really not understand that this takes spots from American kids at the best colleges and universities? These Chinese students aren't going to Tuscaloosa Community College lol. Use critical thinking skills for once.

So MAGA supports Chinese kids taking college spots away from American kids because their cult leader can never be criticized. That’s surprising.

Zero Republicans will “defect”. That’s an absolute pipe dream.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were best friends. For decades. Trump raped underage girls. MAGA supports this piece of garbage.

“Liberalz!!” derp derp Cult follower behavior. Seek de-programming therapy.

I would certainly vote for a conservative. What I want is a good decision maker. That means stacking good policy decisions one after another. Not just what's good for one guy. If anyone thinks Trump is conservative, that's a joke. Trump is pro-Trump. He's not a conservative, not a liberal, not a libertarian, not any of those. He's a cult leader who makes decisions based on what's good for him, or generously speaking, for him, his family, and "his people". Don't be in a cult. He doesn't care about you, or how you're doing financially, or if you have to pay a lot for health insurance, or if air travel sucks for you. He has all of those things, usually paid for by the U.S citizens. You don't. Wake up.

Trump said on Truth Social that the insurance companies are evil and that the government shouldn't be giving them money. Does he know what Medicare is lol? What's even more ridiculous about that is that statement is that Medicare Advantage (MA) is essentially the same exact program as the ACA, the only difference is that MA is for people 65+. A government program, run by insurance companies. They should introduce a younger, healthier cohort to Medicare Advantage. Say ages 50-64. That population has a much better loss ratio, i.e. they pay more in premiums than they take away in claims, vs. the group already covered, 65+. (There's also a 5% or so Admin fee that the insurance companies use to operate, including salaries.) Insurance companies would like to have that 50-64 population no matter what, they mostly have them captured under commercial plans and the ACA currently, but it's messy. They're losing out on gaps in that population. Here's the thing for this year. If Trump wanted to help consumers at the expense of the "evil insurance companies" that he called them, he would cap the premium and deductible increases on the ACA that the insurance companies are offering for 2026, raising them by 250% or whatever the number is exactly. Tell the insurance companies, they are regulated after all, that the maximum premium increase overall is capped at 10%. Then offer to make them whole in January 2027 if they report a negative loss ratio (they won't need to, it will still be profitable). Did anyone ask Trump why he's not doing that, but instead he is allowing the insurance companies to enact these premium increases to consumers? If the insurance companies are so "evil" like he says? No, they didn't. Because the people that would ask Trump that question don't even know how it works.
