Olivia Nuzzi is real, but she is not being real in this case. Here is a photo of her, and this link is to her IMDB page. Comparing photos and looking at that crazy writing, clearly there is a lot of AI involved.

I do not recall where I was when I took this photo, though either Philadelphia or Washington, DC.

Either way, this 2011 photo is more poignant now, as our country moves farther and farther in the wrong direction.

He does everything he can to end the lives of people who are struggling.

Why?

To reduce the amount of tax money that must be used to support Americans.

Goldman Sachs says the U.S. lost 50,000 jobs last monthβ€”which is why Trump’s refusing to release the jobs and inflation reports. They don’t want you seeing how bad the economy really is, but everybody knows.

Yeah, but they will never miss an opportunity to miss the opportunity to torpedo actual governing, when they could destroy more lives instead.

By sending us $2,000 to give to billionaire insurance CEOs, and by tripling the interest we pay to mortgage companies while he continues to limit what we can write off, he's effectively looting the treasury and using us a mules to launder the stolen money; funneling it to the wealthy.

Gives him too much credit.

This is just a continuation of the killing off of "losers" like he did in his first administration (just inject bleach, don't get vaccinated).

His world is zero-sum game. Fewer people for the country to take care of means more money and power for him and his friends.

He doesn't care about voters since he plans to be a dictator.

Seems to me he is intentionally killing off people who depend on government support. He did this quite "successfully" using COVID-19.

A modern-day Hitler who gets away with murder by playing the fool.

Thank you for posting this, Brittany! I would never have seen it, otherwise.

Masterful and excoriating indeed.

TL;DR

Just to be clear, Trump's idea of making America "great again" is killing off or deporting as many people he considers "losers" as he can.

He is that horrific and that basic.

Of course, Trump being the real loser doesn't help the millions of people he's actively trying to kill off.

like injured vets, sick Americans, immigrant families, poor people who "can't afford a better life" for any reason HE CALLS "LOSERS" and better off dead!?

Simple-minded math: fewer people on the dole means richer country.

He IS ALREADY A MURDERER. We shouldn't be surprised he murders more.

Death Toll Associated With Trump Administration Goes Beyond Covid-19, Says Lancet Report A Lancet report detailed the devastating health effects of Donald Trump’s presidency but indicated that simply going back to pre-Trump days will not be enough.

you count how many people he caused to die from COVID-19 and environmental destruction during his first term, he's already killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Destroying the ACA is a continuation of his plan to reduce "losers" who cost taxes to help...

Fucking hell.

I started the video and almost didn't keep going, but once I was seeing what Jess was saying, I couldn't look away. Like staring at a train derailing.

Truly hope I'm wrong, but I've been getting the impression this president *wants* to kill poor and sick people.

If...

"Cruelty" is not the word.

This is how to push a country into requiring all citizens to "carry papers" with them, to prove citizenry.

This is fascism.

Check out the book "Beyond Belief" by Deborah Lipstadt. How American newspapers not only lacked coverage in the lead up to, and during the Holocaust. When they did cover the atrocities, suggested they were not true, and printed the stories buried into irrelevance.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
