Gotdamn I love Bernie. You can see he really, like actually cares.
No substance to Trump's speech was just hating on Trans people and bragging about cutting government programs. If that speech didn't show you how unfit he is, I don't know what will at this point.
He shouldn't have been able to run for President again. MAGA is literally getting cucked this whole run for this admin and they can't bring themselves to admit it.
Seriously?
One one democrat (Al Green) stood up for truth tonight?
The rest of them sat like sacks of shit holding paddles, lol.
Fucking weak leadership who cares more about the decorum than the fight.
Well, from what little I've seen so far and my understanding, Hakeem Jeffries seems to be taking the "cower in the corner and take it like a little bitch" approach to government.
I am furious with them for their lack of leadership and self awareness. The incompetence is shocking.

Pass. Not giving it any ratings and I will wait for the coherent summary without the faff. Besides, no matter what the jackass does, there's nothing I can immediately do in reaction to it.
Hardly anything he says is credible anyways. Only look at what he does
It was just a rally.
"the days of unelected bureaucrats is over..."
Oh, like Musk?
sorry I monopolized this thread but hey man sorta eff you guys for being so silent. live with my drunken summaries.

oh man. I am not looking forward to this but feel I have an obligation to watch. Appreciate you getting the thread going though.
I'll pass on listening to the Cheeto Musolini speech. I'd rather preserve my sanity/time by reading the news afterwards instead of listening to him ramble.
im prepping with vodka and I rarely drink.
I'm tempted to just wait on the transcript, but so many of Trump's transcripts are whitewashed to make him seem more rational than he is.
Looking forward to the stock market dropping like sack of shit tomorrow morning. You know it's gonna.
Jesus Christ. They are using his fucking mug shot for the thumbnail on ABC. Lmao.
So Al Green got booted from the room. Interesting.
thanks for getting me the name.
Trump just loves praising himself. I couldn't finish watching his bs.
I'm tempted to watch but it'll probably be 90 minutes of him rambling.
More than 120! I couldn't make it through 5. No idea how people can listen to him talk.
Nope. Not watching. I'd rather drag razor blades between my toes. Rub sandpaper on my tongue. Give myself paper cuts on my eyelids. Watch videos consisting entirely of nails on chalkboards.
Anyone got bingo cards? I'm putting a Putin to visit White House on mine along with Andrew Tate gets a government position - maybe alongside Elona. There's also the McDonald's Hamderber becoming the National Food
Anyone got any others to fill out my card?
Outside of that, I got my bullshit meter ready. Trying to prep for the Thirty Days of the Best Achievements the world has ever seen and how he alone saved countries at war. Then Elona will talk about the billions of dollars saved while his kid wipes buggers on Trump's face.

this is going to be a great factcheck session.
now hes talking about the markets being up and they got guff from the audience (congress) fro his obvious bullshit and they are kicking a guy out.
ugh. the democratic response is soooo weak. still at least she did say reagan rolling in his grave and said she does not want russian or chinas leadership. actually its getting better as I type this.
I made a list of all the cuts Trump mentioned:
| Million(s) | Description |
|---|---|
| $45 | International school scholarships (labeled DEI) - [International Relations] |
| $40 | Some kind of international social services? - [International Relations] |
| $8 | Promoting international LGBTQ+? Is this research funding or international relations? - [International Relations] |
| $60 | Indigenous people in central america? Like, international relations? - [International Relations] |
| $8 | Making mice transgender? Like, research? - [Research] |
| $32 | Some kind of left wing propaganda operation in buldova? - [Spy Shit] |
| $10 | Promoting male circumcision in MoseHamBeak? idk - [Weird] [International Relations] |
| $3.5 | Consulting contract for fish monitoring? Like, research? - [Research] |
| $1.5 | Voter confidence in Liberia? Like, trying to help them secure a democracy? - [International Relations] |
| $14 | Social coheasion in Mahli? - [International Relations] [Spy Shit] |

| $101 | DEI contracts at the Department of Education? [American Investment Cuts] |
(List of Cuts Mentioned by Trump)
$485 Million cut funds to international relations, research, spy shit, and whatever else. I guess the question is, what are they going to do with the 485 Million? Presumably the $22 Billion cut in American Human & Health Services (HHS) is going toward paying down the deficit, right?
Thats trumps golf budget for the next two years that he will spend at his own businesses. with ~3mio/trip thats 161 trips. with him golfing 30% of his days in office during his last term and him being on track to repeat that, this "golfing budget" will be used up in less than two years.
sorry americans, you got screwed for years to come for some racist orange to loot your contry dry to go golfing and funnel money into his own businesses.
omg they are talking about how the first dem was resistant to being removed and truly his was not and they said two more were removed and that was not shown. serously folks this is masturbating over a bag of cashews.
omg he is using the numbers shown to be false on what doge has saved.
boasting about gulf of america and renaming denali. I may not be able to take this.

omg he is talking his fucking election results.
omg the usa shouting and his opening bs like he had just not betrayed everything the us has stood for since ww2.
