Too bad the negative PR alone will pretty much kill the Republican party until TPTB fully excises any semblance of Trump's influence from it. Prepare for the grand return of the Bush/McCain/Romney/Cheney graceful defeat neocon controlled opposition Republicans in 2040.

On the topic of the Penguin Tariffs, couldn't it just be that they're thinking "an island being uninhabited now doesn't mean it'll be uninhabited later?"
There's probably some Hebrew shenanigans that could be done by listing yourself/your company as being located on those islands. Correct me on this if I'm wrong.

Those islands have already exported machinery in 2022 they have clearly been used for some chicanery in the past

I like how Democrats are screaming about a recession when they changed the definition of a recession to avoid saying we were in one when their demented guy was in office. Also funny since we really never left that recession because Biden's puppets just kept spending insane amounts of money to keep the GDP in the positive while hiring a bunch of government workers and inflating job reports, until just before Trump took office and revised them all down by over a million jobs.

I wouldn't be surprised if the modern Democrats go that route before the GOP does; at least in the short-term.

Good morning, USPG2. I bring you a funny article from The Hill, the DC rag of repute: "Exclusive: How ‘no daylight’ from Biden crippled the Harris presidential campaign" (archive)

Well, I went ahead and read this entire book, and holy shit, the mindset that goes into it is 100% why the democrats lost the election. There is zero self awareness.
  • It almost solely follows the Biden/Harris side while only going to Trump for bad moments
  • It takes every moment possible to bring up January 6th
  • It constantly says the “false claim” or “lie” about the 2020 fraud, never Eve humoring that it could be true
  • There’s a moment where JD Vance is referred to as total yes man who is “like a storm trooper under a Jedi mind trick.” Yes, it really says that exact quote.
  • Trump is portrayed as an ego maniac who wants all need to be talking about him at all times
  • Biden is portrayed as sharp and strong who just happened to have a bad night during the debate and was forced out by Pelosi and Obama’s sabotage
  • Kamala Harris is portrayed as a hard working and diligent perfectionist who was so loyal to Biden that it backfired on her
  • They frame the Joe Rogan situation as Joe intentionally snubbing Kamala even though her team wanted to book him first
  • They frame the Kamala vs Trump debate as a total victory for Kamala who had a ton of momentum and Trump as panicking about her
  • Every single moment of traction for Trump is framed as being a “gift” or luck, and almost all of them are presented as either Biden being angry about being kicked out or Kamala not knowing what to say because she didn’t want to betray Biden
  • None of Kamala’s issues are even addressed
  • None of the Democrat issues are addressed
  • Obama is portrayed as a political outsider who won without any establishment help who didn’t like Biden’s campaign or Kamala’s because it was too establishment
  • The 60 minutes interview is never mentioned
  • Tim Walz is a super popular good boy and Vance only won the debate because Walzn was too good natured to use all the dirt he had in him
  • None of the highly edited interviews are mentioned, only that she went to “softball” interviews
  • Makes the case that Kamala was defeating Trump heavily in August and September despite that being far from reality.
  • Treats all polls and the media as if they’re truthful and never goes into a moment of spin
  • The Puerto Rico joke at Maddison Square Garden is presented as the ultimate kill shot to Trump that was destroyed because of Biden, even though the media ran with it constantly
  • Bill and Hilary Clinton are presented as heroes who supported Kamala and wanted her to succeed to be the first woman president
  • Bill Clinton is presented as political expert who could have helped Hilary win if she listened to him and Kamala didn’t listen to him near the end either
  • Absolutely no attempt at an explanation is given for why Trump “over performed” they just state the facts that he did, further cementing that the authors flat out ignored reality around them and avoided describing the actual political climate.
  • The actual last line in the book is “Kamala was also gaslighted” in reference to how there was a lot of gas lighting during the campaign,
Otherwise, it’s a narrative style approach to the political race starting with the Biden vs Trump debate. It attempts to sound neutral by not being outright critical of Trump, but it uses every literary trick it can to show the true colors. From ignoring 90% of Trump, to consistently pointing out that he “lost.” To regularly saying he “lied”, to implying he’s an egotist who just wants yes men, to implying Vance was the worse pick but he couldn’t go with Rubio and risk losing Florida, to implying voters wouldn’t see he could be tough on crime because he was “convicted”, to saying the accusations of law fair was just his perspective, etc etc etc.

Of course you expect a highly partisan book, but the actual race has a lot to be studied and be considered, and instead you get a weird book that just sort of begins and just sort of ends without even a narrative structure or resolve from any of the players.
