Also a key detail that is constantly overlooked about Iraq is that the Republican Army was an exhausted military that had just fought Iran in the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s and then fought the US in Desert Storm in the 90s. They weren't, strictly speaking bad, just unable to modernize in time for the 2003 invasion. So, to use the Iraq wars as measures of US ability on the battlefield is suspect.
You forget that Millenials and Zoomers are going to be the ones working in these theoretical factories and plants. Even if wokeness was not a factor--which it is--it's two generations mostly trained for White-collar professions and because they were college educated, constantly primed for unionization, especially with the very high possibility of workplace accidents caused by untrained people. It wouldn't even matter if the Dems made factory unions illegal, the word sabotage comes from factory workers intentionally breaking machinery.

Trump said something to the effect of “he’ll be a great asset in my administration”. Whether that’s VP or a cabinet position is unclear. I think Trump’s VP considerations are going to be swing state appeal and an “insurance policy”, and I am not sure about Burgum’s qualities for either one. He could end up being another Pence.

DEI is going to be a big issue, in addition to the endless wars, inflation, and all the other civilization ending bs the uniparty is throwing at us. Pretty sure Trump won't touch DEI at all.
Has Trump even mentioned DEI yet? Must be nice to have a private plane.

This had me laughing my ass off. Can't let him get the sweep! Gotta do something! Some Democrat made a boat load of cash off of the Haley campaign for one vote.
The only way it gets funnier is if the numbers are corrected to give it back to Trump.

Ukraine spending is actually very small in comparison to total defense spending, which is in the trillions:
We actually spend even more on social security than we do defense.
This is the total amount for Ukraine:
If I’m going to get mad at federal spending, I’m more angry with the Inflation Reduction Act, which just strengthened the IRS. I’d rather we give money for war over that, as the IRS sucks. That being said, there should be way more money going towards border security. Yeah, I’d wish some spending at the federal level were different, but I overall find the way it’s spent domestically to be way worse than how it gets spent internationally.

I haven't paid attention to North Dakota and had to look up Governor Burgum. Secretary of Energy maybe? What would y'all think?

The problem being, the left can destabilize it on demand with another color revolution. And will, if he gets in beyond the rigging margin. So outside of him tearing apart the leftist machine by it's roots -- which will be bloody in the not hyperbolic sense of the word -- what does he do?
I liked the "just fire everyone with an even numbered social security number on day one so they can't claim discrimination" thing. Maybe Zero out some budgets (which I believe is a tool he can use, at least until some Hawaiian judge says he can't just absolutely because), end a national emergency or 20 (iirc, many of the deep state agencies or powers are reliant on infinite duration national emergencies -- even the FBI, IIRC), et cetera.

The Ukraine War is totally irrelevant to the US election.

Meatball is acting like this is the civil war and world war 2 and the good guys never did well in the beginning there, and his twitter team is getting gayer by the minute. They’re now saying it’s heroic he stays in because it’s the right thing to do when you want to save the country.
They are clinging to this exit poll where Meatball won the 17-29 voters despite Trump winning every other demo and are now bashing old people despite them being the ones targeted to vote because they’re the old style repub voter.
It’s gayness all the way down.

Trump himself gave $391 million to Ukraine in 2019. The initial impeachment scandal was over the accusation that Trump didn’t give the money soon enough.

The 'tight race' spin is funnier than the racism spin. They're just so incompetent.

They have their story and they will ride it to the end. The fact that nobody believes them anymore is irrelevant to them, because they have convinced themselves that their truth is more important the actual truth. It will be fascinating to see how they try and enable this, because either way they lose..
Either they stand aside and let democracy take its course, which will mean Trump becomes President, or they will double down on the "fortification of democracy" strategy. Delegitimizing the political process in favor of unelected beaurocratic control. Essentially taking the mask off and showing the American People that no, actually, you don't get to decide who runs this country.
I am fascinated to see how this goes.

Why bother? At that point he would already be shooting himself in the foot. Maybe not enough to lose to Biden, but a bad move either way. When your numbers are this high, don't bother pandering and go with the VP you actually want. Pence was a compromise to get the evangelical vote and he was one of the first in line to stab him in the back when given the chance.
