And despite all that coming out before the elections, he only lost by a little more then 1 %.

That should tell you all you need about how much Republicans actually care about children.

I also find it fascinating how the guy who is still super insulted over people reacting to Charlie Kirk's death doesn't understand how his whole political movement reacting to all these horrific things Trump did completely invalidates anything they have to say.

I gotta say. Trump is really a massive innovator in the realm of corrupt grift. He constantly invents new ways to personally profit from his position as president that no other person has come up with before.

(I will assume that Trump somehow got paid for this)

He’s an innovator in the sense he goes against the general corruption/fraud handbook and does it all fully out in the open.

It’s a complete joke

My hope, that is fading everyday, is that Trumps incredibly blatant corruption will eventually become so offensive that Republican's finally stop saying "but Harris would be worse" and Americans decide, "we need actual anti corruption laws and enforcement". Then arrest a bunch of shit heads from both parties.

Then the rest of the world can finally copy something good from the US.

It must be a slow day in the news cycle, if we're back to arguing over how many times Trump has officially raped people over the decades that he's been sexually harassing, sexually assaulting, and raping adults and possibly children.

But at least he's not wearing a tan suit.

When your mission is to destroy the goverment and rule of law, this seems like a perfect way to do it?
Even if stuff gets resolved sooner or later, the damage is done?

I thought that is something just done to programs of the other party/ the last government implemented?

$2 trillion from Medicaid – up to $1 trillion from cutting the base program plus another $1 trillion from repealing the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion;
$887 billion from already-low non-defense discretionary funding levels, putting a broad array of programs serving low-income populations such as housing assistance, WIC, job training, and others at risk of deep funding cuts;
$185 billion from federal college aid for low-income students;
$157 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; and
$0.6 trillion from other income security programs, a category where most spending is for safety-net programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, child nutrition, Supplemental Security Income for the aged and disabled, Unemployment Insurance, refundable tax credits for low-income workers, and child care.

Targeted budget cuts: the Biden administration cut spending on what it deems wasteful corporate subsidies, such as those benefiting the oil and gas industry, reducing excessive payments to medicare providers, real estate tax subsidies, crypto subsidies, and unnecessary prison expansion
Border Wall Construction: On his first day in office, President Biden terminated the national emergency declaration used by the Trump administration to divert military funding for the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Muslim Travel Ban: Biden reversed Trump's executive orders that restricted entry into the U.S. for travelers from several predominantly Muslim and African countries.
Keystone XL Pipeline: The presidential permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline was revoked
Paris Climate Accord: Biden rejoined the Paris Agreement on climate change, from which the Trump administration had officially withdrawn.
Regulatory Rollbacks: This included rescinding rollbacks of vehicle emissions standards and imposing a moratorium on oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and
Federal worker protections: Biden revoked executive orders from the Trump administration that had limited the collective bargaining and due process rights of federal employees.
Anti-discrimination policies: An executive order was signed to ensure the federal government does not discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity, reversing prior policies
