The new cycles for the past few weeks really have been a discombobulated mess. All I'm seeing now is stuff about how Republicans are breaking down and not going to support Trump's bills and shit like that... but, so far, when the media says shit like this, they end up being wrong and make no apology for it. They're already changing their tune regarding China since the US and China are meeting to talk about tariffs now.

It's like none of these people have the ability to sit back, wait, and see what happens. I know that most of them are communist hacks trying to hurt Trump, but there are some people who ought to know better and fall for this shit. The economy is collapsing! they cry as the stock market closes in the black. Come on, people.
Honestly, the media has been like this for a very long time because of the need for a 24/7 news cycle to support CNN et al. Back in the Obama days someone would go to the White House for coffee and the media would be all ‘RANDOM FAGGOT POISED TO BE OBAMA’S NEW BORDER CZAR’ yet something like 90% of their predictions were wrong or hyperbolic.
 
Always count on the RINOs to grasp defeat from the fucking jaws of victory. Trump and Vance really need to tard wrangle them.
There is no punishment for betraying the GOP, America, or Trump. There is benefit for doing so -- embezzlement, kickbacks, speaking engagements, jobs for your worthless family members. Until there is a way to punish these people, tangible punishments that they would actually fear, they will keep doing it. There's no reason not to.

Step one should be stripping every single one of these fuckers from their committee roles. Then cut them off from any RNC/GOP money for reelections. It would be better if a Democrat won for one cycle than to put up with a bunch of betraying cucks that exist only to make sure a real conservative doesn't ever get the seat.
 
Ignorance at a certain point is malice.
You should hear my Baby Boomer relatives on my paternal side - I've talked about it before, but the implication being I should be shipped off to die in Ukraine because they had one great grandparent who was Ukrainian when they're mostly Polish/Russian. They fell in line just because the man on the TV told them to and played with their heads/emotions - just like covid. Add in a lot of "Hitler devil bogeyman" post-ww2 brain thinking and applying it to Putin. I can still hear my grandma in my mind elevating in five seconds to "and just let him [Hitler] KILL THOSE JEWISH PEOPLE!?!?!?!!"

I've had enough of this already, after 80 years I'm certain many others have had enough. Must make them irate this emotional blackmail that has been desperately clung on to for almost a century isn't working on people my age - it is no longer registering in my mind as a valid argument. Also add in the contradictory entitlement of expecting people my age to fix everything for you while demanding we fight your wars for you (who is going to fix everything when they're all dead?).

If not, we are deemed stupid, lazy, useless, and selfish by Boomers who have stripped bare any future there could've been. Want your inheritance? Tough luck, you should've given me grandkids who you can't afford anyway! These people do NOT care one bit what happens to the rest of us when they're all gone.
 
Can someone explain to me why every fucking piece of media nowadays needs to have something about modern politics? Like Christ we get you show created “orange man bad” but can you please tell me a good story at least?
Unfortunately I think people need to come to terms with the fact that there was a massive shift in American culture and politics are now all anyone cares about for the foreseeable future. Americans aren't capable of opening their mouths without some sort of political take coming out. Americans are no longer capable of making films or telling stories that aren't about real life politics because we live in a world where everyone's political ideology is under attack from all sides and this is exacerbated by social media and the news media showing you these people attacking your beliefs constantly. So when it comes time to make a statement where people can hear you whether that be in a movie or a book or a video game or even music it's always going to be about the creator's political ideology because they feel it needs to be defended and people should be influenced to agree.

People want stories that aren't woke and people also don't want stories that are "anti-woke" but the kind of person who wouldn't make a movie about their political takes aren't going to be putting themselves out there at all to be making movies, chances are this kind of person is working at Wal Mart and gives zero fucks. The fact is that anyone in America who cares about anything in life other than just smoking weed is thinking about politics all the time and nothing can change that. When you live in a country that is designed to have the citizens be politically informed and vote for politicians you are always going to end up with a population that can only think about politics. Thinking and fighting about politics is the DNA of America, if you really don't want to deal with politics anymore I would suggest taking up smoking weed as a hobby or just move to China or something where the government is concrete and doesn't require the citizens to participate in it.
 
I hate the View. It’s so deeply classless to ask a plainly doddering old man ‘hey, people say you’re demented, are you?’ I know people will say he deserves it but I can’t bring myself to enjoy an elderly person losing their faculties, it does something to me and it’s very tough on a family. Classless of Jill to haul him around on the tacky talk show circuit too.
I know where your coming from. I grew up around my elders. Its hard to see a loved one become diminished. And I agree jill is using him.

But given that this man was trying to go for 4 more years? Fuck it needs to be put on display that he was/is un fit for the job.

The doddering old man needs to be on a pod cast where he has those moments so the world can see we dodged a bullet.

And your right the smart move for his wife woulda been to just take him home, and let the bidens fuck off
 
Jill Biden: The people who wrote those books (about Joe Biden's mental decline) were not there in the White House with us, and they didn't see how hard Joe worked every single day.

Who's fault is that? It's not like it was from a lack of trying that the American people didn't see Joe Biden at work as President. How many people were complaining that Biden wasn't giving any interviews at all or that we never see him doing anything that's not highly scripted and Biden stumbling around shitting his pants? Why is it that there was no transparency in the White House?
 
While the new Pope is a liberal fag, do not count out the Trump Curse. If he starts peppering Trump in his new position, it's going to magnify and bounce back hard in a year or two. And this is when you keep sending Vance over all the time to Italy just to shake his hand.

His Holiness is not a liberal fag. YOU are the liberal fag!
 
It's an AJ report that claims that Israeli Army Radio is the source but no Israeli sources wrote about this and I can't track down any Israelis who claim to have heard it.
Unless Netanyahu is IMMINENTLY in danger of being impeached or whatever they do in that festering pit they call a holy land I believe this exactly 0%. Trump might shun him, or put him at a distance, but there's no way he'd officially or even unofficially cut him off. It would be political suicide to defy our rules, god's chosen, and their representative.
 
Oh, The Rs are going to absolutely be routed in 2026. I'd love to be wrong but I fully expect we'll lose the House, and more than a third of the Senate will be up for grabs then too. The Dems will circle the wagons, as they always, always do, while the Rs bicker amongst themselves and thereby persuade the voters to "vote their consciences" with predictable results.

unless the GoPe get their shit together all the progress Trump has made will be undone the very second the new Democrat PotUS steps in to office.

netanyahu is already impeached and spends 3 days a week in trial for bullshit bribery cases. It's going to last until 2028.

Trump has no reason to cut off bibi when trump is building the Sunni/Israeli Axis against iran
