Trump Pulls A New Fixation Out Of Thin Air And House GOP Runs Off The Cliff With It

Originally published at: Trump Pulls A New Fixation Out Of Thin Air And House GOP Runs Off The Cliff With It - TPM – Talking Points Memo

House Republicans have been on the hunt for opportunities to do some PDA for the incoming president before he’s officially sworn into office — recognizing that theatric fealty does numbers with Donald Trump, no matter how unserious the content may be. This is to be expected. House Republicans who have accepted Trump as their party…

If our country is so deep in debt, where are we gonna get the money to finance Trump’s imperialist boondoggles?

The middle and working classes have been milked dry, and Trump’s oligarchic friends are more interested in acquiring more filthy wealth than part with it, so who’s gonna pay the bill?

Trump’s return puts Medicaid on the chopping block

Because why should government give a shit about the health of potential voters? I mean really… why??

It’s performative shadow-play which, in Trumplandia, gives dimension to illusion. Showbiz!

We’ll have plenty of money once Trump and Co kick all those elderly mooches off Social Security and Medicare. /s

Any realtors out there? How much would Greenland cost to purchase? 836,330 square miles with all the mineral rights, relocating the residents, etc., etc., etc.

Greenland is similar in size to the Louisiana Purchase.

Another shiny keys moment for American journalists. CNN, MSNBC, WAPO and the NYTimes will be consulting with realtors while Trump steals everything including the kitchen sink from the US Treasury.

And they’re going after SNAP funds. Without googling, I think I would safely bet those funds are important to a chunk of MAGAts.

Well the dynamic duo of Elon and that other guy are going to eliminate all the waste and redundancy in the federal gov’t. And that and exploiting Greenland’s resources will pay for the purchase price.
You have to think like a developer to see the big picture. s/

Even if the Convicted Felon Trump’s fantasy of buying Greenland is real, we won’t get the wealth from its resources. You and I aren’t going to be allowed the most valuable real estate, the most scenic land, the low taxes, a non-gerrymandered vote.

This is all for billionaire globalists. It isn’t for Americans.

" Johnson introduced a bill that would authorize the beginning of talks about purchasing the canal. " Where in the hell does this bozo get the idea that the Orange Idiot has any interest in purchasing the canal ? He’s mentioned buying Greenland but has been as consistent as it is possible for him to be in saying that the canal rightfully belongs to us and he wants it back. And why buy it from some tiny little country with no actual military ? I genuinely think there’s a chance he might decide to act on this, but he sure as hell isn’t going to buy it !

I think that TMF is trying to do a number on the rule of the law on many different fronts. I think he would be thrilled to burn the Magna Carta and the US Constitution. All in order to receive a marvelous payday from Vladimir Putin as a thank you for Ukraine.

The man has no qualms with being considered a crook. His voters seem to love that aspect of his character. The billionaires in this country have been so mistreated! That’s why they’re not trillionaires!

The paperwork involved in being a billionaire is slowing down their important work of destroying the world for the rest of us.
