He loves the poorly educated, guess this is really a cry for help. He just wants people to like him, and only the incredibly ignorant seem to.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is all clearly practice and an attempt to convince the public that the President can shutdown whatever he wishes - like a king. It is all practice for when the President attempts to shutdown Congress and the Judiciary. The President is actively waging war against every citizen of the United States of America!
As much as it is still heartbreaking, this does make me a bit glad that I don't have children.
As outrageous as this is, it made me curious... for me, the Department of Education is just one of those things I've kind of always known about, but did you know that the current office and secretary was created in 1979? Under Jimmy Carter?
🤯
It's amazing how... recent... a lot of these cabinet positions actually are:

Why wouldn’t he? He’s faced zero opposition and his base feels safe and comfortable.
Straight up just defunding schools.
Defund the police everyone goes crazy, defund the school system just another normal day.
Schools are a dangerous place for cops, what with all the guns and shootings going on.
This is going to Help with that PESKY H1-B Visa problem!
And grocery prices
Basically all I've seen from this administration is what they're against (healthcare, education, diversity, environment/climate, science, equity, inclusion, regulations, etc.), but like, are they for anything besides the antithesis of those?
Their entire personalities are defined by opposition to shit. They don't have any real ideals of their own.
Foreign policy....
Hm. White power? Maybe god, too, because he comes with sweet donations from congregations
If there's nothing to hold the country together, there's no reason for a union.
Billionaires and making as much grifting as possible?
Likely so
I mean they literally called their campaign "the revenge tour." There's nothing they want to build because a fascist regime like this already has everything they need: huge amounts of capital, channels to pipe out propaganda, and hoards of mindless hate-filled followers, all of them armed to the teeth.
"What else is on the agenda" is getting rid of anything and anyone that can stand up to them.
Sigh....
Me too friend, me too.
Authoritarianism
Billionaires hoarding wealth, and slavery.
Seems so
Id say money but they hate the IRS
This. Fuckin'. Guy.
