What about the massive fraud that the Trumpian administration is perpetrating against the American citizens?
What a crock of hypocrisy from hypocrites?

(15,149 posts)Honestly, if he was on top of the ticket and/or if the Democratic "consultants" hadn't gotten involved, there's a good chance Dems could have won despite the shenanigans in 2024.
Walz had the best favorability rating of anyone on the ticket in October. There's a good chance if he ran again, he could get the ticket he was on over the finish line in 28.
You are exactly right!

What appears to be true is tough guy Trump is a fraud. He is weak and his inmates are running amok. He doesnt appear to have any answers. He doesn't appear to have the power to fire anyone.
It also doesn't appear if any GOP in congress pushed back, Trump wouldn't act. The whole GOP appears paralyzed.
What seems clear after the disaster of Venezuela (polled like shit), the disaster that was Greenland, and the disaster of this Minnesota thing, Trump has one more failure before he really see bailing. The behind the scenes GOP house must be hot and heavy. 2026 has been a disaster for them, and they're not 1 month into it.

(129,558 posts)by a number of (legal) Somali immigrants who, under the direction of a local white woman, set up fake charities that were supposedly providing food for low-income children. There was a lot of money involved and it was a big local scandal but the perpetrators were identified, investigated, charged, prosecuted, tried and convicted, and now the case is closed. But because most of the perps were Somali, Trump, who is unabashedly racist, is using this fraud case as an excuse to deport all of the 80,000 Somalis who were not involved in the fraud, who are mostly American citizens, and who are ordinary law-abiding members of our communities.

(5,162 posts)"Psychodynamically, the projectivity dimension of the authoritarian syndrome is thought to be primarily based on a denial of reality and the defense mechanism of splitting objects into "good" and "bad" parts and the subsequent identification with the "good" parts of oneself or one's own group, and the externalization of the "bad" parts onto others. In conspiracy beliefs, this projection leads to aggression towards supposed conspirators while fostering a heroic self-image as the awakened. Superstition, on the other hand, involves submission and projection of responsibility onto external forces, reflecting a surrender to fate or higher powers to escape feelings of powerlessness."
