CJMusic Oct 7, 2023:

Joe Biden is the worst US president in history.

CJMusic Jul 6, 2024:

It would appear that, in light of Biden failing and floundering, the Dems sent their minions out to foment panic about Project 2025. It won’t work.

CJMusic May 1, 2025:

I regret voting for Trump.

My husband is laid off and can’t find a job and my kids’ credit scores have tanked bc of his student loan policy.

This is not what I voted for.

    This is not what I voted for

    “I voted for other people to suffer, and now I’m suffering. Is there no fairness in this world?”

    Either that, or:

    “When Donald Trump mentioned what a fine man Hannibal Lecter is before shuffling around to the YMCA, my brain registered that as him telling me everything that I wanted to hear because I’m a delusional psychopath with no grip on reality that thinks the world revolves around me.”

      It all boils down to “I voted for them to hurt people” and then they act surprised when they’re the ones being hurt.

    If Trump actually falls out of favor with the Right I fully expect these kinds of people to try to blame all of this on him alone so they check the box for the next R who will enable them to continue to be shitheads.

        Yeah, my friends from 20 years ago that fucking LOVED Bush now pretend they want nothing to do with him. Trump will be the same way. Set a reminder for 2045 to ask your favorite Republican what they think of Trump.

    “This is not what I voted for.”

    I voted for him to hurt immigrants, the poor, the gays, women, workers, non-whites, Democrats, progressives, liberals, intellectuals, drag queens, the woke, and DEI, not white Americans!

    This person knew what Project 2025 was and just refused to believe it. This is exactly what they voted for.

      I mean, we’re getting for it regardless of who we voted for. That’s the magic of singular senior executive in a three-branch government where the executive branch has functional dictatorship of the bureaucracy.

      If Harris had won (perhaps by not pissing off big chunks of the Midwestern Arab population by repeatedly endorsing the genocide of their families) then she’d have been spared the indignity of getting what she asked for. But the wind was with the Republicans, so now we all get to hang out in the crumbling dystopian hell-hole together.

        If those Arabs thought that trump would in any way reduce the genocide, well… I will point them to the image above.

        If Harris had won (perhaps by not pissing off big chunks of the Midwestern Arab population by repeatedly endorsing the genocide of their families)

        Or perhaps by the Democrats taking economic inequality seriously and actually moving the needle on helping the working class.

    Nah, dipshit it’s EXACTLY what you voted for.

    It’s too bad these morons are illiterate, and allergic to anything that isn’t low-IQ misinformation

    Both were terrible presidents … But Trump kind of appeals to a certain type. And America’s got a lot of that type. But these individuals as hard as you try not to think, they are the proletariat, they are the oppressed. This is just how capitalism and crisis expresses itself through populism and then fascism. ♪ ♪ All these isms are just distractions from American foreign policy, which is imperialistic and oppressive. And it doesn’t respect other nations sovereignty, or rules based order…either Biden or Trump or Bush or Obama or whatever. Trump is different in that he’s going after the deep state which is really just his opponents to his style of management and his policies either way it serves the rich just like Biden. I’ve been on this planet enough to see the cycles. It’s the good cop, bad cop strategy. And they’re going to do that when they drop nukes on Iran. They’re going to act like they’re disgusted by Israel’s war-mongering. at the same time they’re calling the shots from behind the line. You will witness nuclear weapons used in your lifetime.
