Tim Miller joins Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House to discuss the Trump tariffs tanking the economy and sending us toward a recession as Republican lawmakers do absolutely nothing.
The MAGACANS are not going to stand truth to power. They’re relying on trump’s protection money. They’re afraid of trump’s alt-right militias in the form of death threats and retribution. Honestly, I think they believe trump’s campaign stirrings of a democracy-free America. (Vote for me this time, and you will never have to again, because it will be fixed) They truly believe, I think, that they will never have to depend on votes to keep their jobs again!!
Tim, this was such an excellent interview---I think it's one of your best. Seriously, everything you said was important and insightful. Your take on the deportations was also worthy of a rebroadcast. Thank you.
Trump voters f'd around and are now getting f'd. Some will bend over and ask for more but enough will get "woke" and not make that vote again. If we're not nuclear ash in 2026 Congress will get "corrected" and Trump's time will end in disgrace, impeachment or both.
I wouldn't be so confident. I'm guessing the average Trump voters capacity to stay ignorant, irrational, or happy to knowingly trade personal pain for "libtard" tears is high. My guess is it is mostly a knowing trade and thus the capacity will be near infinite until the Americans they hate are ground to dust.
I think all of them with 401ks on the line are thinking differently. It's easy to throw them all in the same bucket because everyone else does. Yes, some will follow him into the Gates of Hell, but that cohort is not big enough to grind me to dust.
Fear is the absence of all hope. They act brave just like Trump. Don't confuse bravery with stupidity.
It's easy to throw them all in one bucket because nothing has fazed any significant faction of Trump supporters so far and yet the only thing that Trump consistently delivers on is hatred for liberals. That leads me to believe that is the shared goal that stitches their coalition together. The tariffs and stock market meltdown certainly harm the liberals even if there will be tremendous collateral damage so they'll probably be fine with it overall is my guess.
Maybe a handful of ignorant independents who just blithely switch sides every cycle based on vague economic vibes wise up and actually choose a side until Trumpism is soundly defeated (I have my doubts on that too) but the MAGA coalition isn't going to splinter.
More of the world than ever is against Trump/maga. Each second that ticks by brings a new convert to the HANDS OFF camp. Expand your news sources to Instagram and Tiktok to see how pissed the youngest generation is. Check out international media to get evidence that Trump is despised. Read articles in the Guardian, Bloomberg, AP for widespread condemnation of everything Trump.
You're far from alone and actually have more friends and allies than ever. Get ready to meet some more on 04/19 during the next protest! The goal is 11 million people. That's 2x last time and totally doable!
And the rest of the world, who doesn’t even get to vote is strapped kicking and screaming while 30% of the US population let’s ‘jesus take the wheel’ and jumps out of the plane without a ‘chute.
There is a growing dilemma. Yes, the Republicans in Congress are afraid of being MAGAed in the next primary. Why are they afraid? To be obvious for a moment, they're afraid of losing their seat. Why to they fear losing their seat? Because they are addicted to the power their seat gives them. We get it. Yet, by acquiescing to Trump, they're giving away what they are most afraid of losing. Will any Republican Congressperson wake up to this?
P.S. "Murdoch Mysteries", set in the late 1800s, often makes amusing references to the modern era. In one scene a cop says to his boss, "Sir, we don't call them 'imbeciles' any more. It's considered demeaning. We call them 'morons.'"
Why aren't Republicans in Congress looking after their own electoral interests?
In asking this question, Nicolle is assuming that something close to ordinary, free, and fair elections will occur in 2026 to hold Congress accountable. But with abominations like the SAVE act on the table, and with Trump's recent executive order to nullify all state election systems and force them to adopt new ones, hers is a faulty assumption. Perhaps that's why there's not more dissent. They don't fear the electorate because there won't be any more real elections.
I think anyone who has a republican rep should call and urge them to be PRO ECONOMY and do whatever they need to do to turn this ship around. I know I am going to call Mike Lawler [once again--it is a daily ritual] and tell him that! I might even suggest that it would be seen as heroic to defy Mike Johnson.
Discussing the tariffs, he delivered a story with the “sir” marker that indicates the story is false: “These countries are calling us up. Kissing my ass,” he told the audience. “They are dying to make a deal. “Please, please, sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything. I’ll do anything, sir. And then I’ll see some rebel Republican, you know, some guy that wants to grandstand, saying: ‘I think that Congress should take over negotiations.’ Let me tell you: you don’t negotiate like I negotiate.”
With oil dropping below $60 a barrel they're dropping below the break even on the Permian Basin. They can shut down fracking rigs in hours with a phone call and then lay those guys off in days. Red State is going to be on the leading edge of all this
So true. The challenge of the speaker is more recent than a decade. The outage of McCarthy went that way... challenged by Gaetz?
Long time fan - direct truthful statements & assessments are what we need … thanks
Excuse my schadenfreude, but I'm enjoying this: https://chris88.substack.com/p/memo-to-maga-ce7

The entire global community is paying the price for Trump’s shitty family upbringing. Doesn’t seem fair.

Has this administration done anything to improve the path to citizenship?
I am feeling despair, all of a sudden. Maybe I am reading and listening to too much. I worry my community of anti 45ers is shrinking.

I started with "Their logic" and then just quit.

Are we still taking ball players from Japan and the Dominican Republic or do when have to send them some guys if we get some guys from there?
