YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Feb 17, 2026
👉🏻 Jimmy Lai sits in a Hong Kong prison cell for the crime of believing in democracy. Jeff Bezos, meanwhile, lounges aboard his superyacht, destroying it—one newsroom at a time. That contrast alone tells you everything you need to know about our decaying world order and the hollowing out of the word freedom.
👉🏻 billionaire John Paulson — one of Trump’s biggest “America First” evangelists — is closing a factory in Ohio and shipping production to China. While workers lose their livelihoods, MAGA’s favorite “business genius” chases cheaper labor overseas. So much for "America First!"
👉🏻 Trump marked Valentine’s Day in true Trump fashion — with a disgraceful, juvenile outburst aimed at E. Jean Carroll and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. From his courtroom meltdowns to his online tantrums, he’s proving once again that emotional maturity and leadership don’t coexist in MAGA‑land.
👉🏻 leopards, meet face. A far‑right Colombian congresswoman who once cheered ICE is now crying that same agency detain her own son — a young man with a work permit, Social Security number, no criminal record, and a pending asylum hearing. The cruelty she once applauded is now personal. MAGAts only "see the light" when something affects them directly.
👉🏻 as historians increasingly rank Donald Trump among the worst presidents in American history, we’ll unpack what that says about the Republican Party, the media’s complicity, and the American voter — and how we fight back for democracy’s survival.
