So much for the "loyalty oath" crowd. Turns out the only thing thicker than Trump's skin is the hypocrisy of his inner circle, who reportedly despise him while publicly fawning. Michael Wolff and Anthony Scaramucci, both on the record, paint a clear picture: these aren't devoted acolytes, but cynical operators putting up with a "fat f---" they can't stand for proximity to power. It’s not about principle or respect, it's a transactional arrangement where folks tolerate being called out for everything from their weight to their judgment, all for a slice of the action. This whole setup perfectly exposes the MAGA movement's core: a performative strongman facade built on the actual contempt of those closest to him, all for the sake of political opportunism and little else. alternet.org/everyone-hates-…

Trump swaggered into Georgia right before the midterms, breathlessly announcing a huge new Audi factory, a massive win for the state he claimed. Here's the receipt: Audi had absolutely no such announcement, no plans to build a plant in Georgia, and no knowledge of this supposed commitment. This wasn't just campaign exaggeration; it was a bald-faced fabrication, invented out of thin air just days before an election, banking on voters not checking if a major international corporation actually agreed to a multi-billion dollar investment during a political rally. It perfectly illustrates how quickly reality gets benched for a headline grab, promising prosperity that only exists in a speech bubble, all while the people who supposedly value "truth" never question the actual facts. thehill.com/homenews/state-w…
