Only the "good" stuff is bought: that Trump isn't as bad as
feared, and that his anti-GOP spending plans will all go ahead,
possibly leading to more QE to pay for it. The "bad" stuff is
ignored: that he's in way over his head as shown most recently with
the Taiwan debacle, that his cabinet isn crony capitalism and
conspiracy theorists, and inexperienced for the job, etc.
It's good to be king, right? Did you hear that all those
billionaires in his cabinet get to sell their assets tax free, to
ensure they are conflict-free for the job. How convenient! At some
point in the future they would have paid taxes on that, either when
sold or via estate tax, and now it's all tax free for them. Don't
get me started on Trump's conflicts of interest being blatantly
shown with multiple countries recently, including Ivanka jumping in
on a call between the Argentine leader and Trump, and guess what,
the Trump resort in Beunos Aires is suddenly no longer mired in red
tape!
That was some deal for Carrier. Before, there were 1K jobs and
no tax credits. After, there are 1K jobs with $7M tax credits,
which will pay for nearly half the $16M they plan to spend to
increase automation to reduce jobs later. Brilliant! When Sarah
Palin is talking sense against something, you know it's bad.
2.65M votes ahead and still loses. I don't get it. I've seen
this electoral college explained and it still makes no sense.
Something about giving more weight to lower population areas? But
isn't that the same as giving less weight to votes in denser
population areas? Aren't all votes supposed to be equal? And on a
State level, someone in rural NY or CA or IL sees their vote
ignored by those "big city folk" dictacting where all of the
State's electoral votes go, which is the same thing they want to
avoid on the national level. Also those electoral votes can be sent
wherever by some "faithless elector", whoever the hell that is,
just deciding to do what he wants. Bizarre.
Idiocracy in action.
