If you believe that, then you can’t believe in the free market. Are you a closet liberal?

The politicians serve as the straw man for the oligarchs. Since the Citizens United case, division has increased almost exponentially. The politicians are bought and paid for by the ruling class, and they gladly take the heat for the real villains as long as their trough remains full. Never forget the value of the straw man to rulers.

“Statistically women do not shoot themselves in the head”. What does that mean?

US and China would be the #1 and #2 seeds in global military rankings. US and Iran - #1 and #16. How often does #1 seed brag about taking down #16 seed? Your comparison is quite flawed. Trump IS weak. Hegseth is a goon.

Yeah. Timothy McVeigh got just what he deserved.

The marginal voter will stay home. Trump’s prior successes were because he motivated the marginal vote. He done lost his mojo.

That is such a BS statement. I’ve seen grown men contort in agony over Biden, Obama, Clinton - worse than any contortion over the clown. And you call names. TDS is a loser’s dodge. A cheap bail.

Just go with wire service reports, Mat, and keep making up your own mind. All talking heads serve the dollar and the dollar only. They don’t care about truth, only spin and eyeballs. Conservatives, liberals, don’t matter. AP, Reuters employ reporters who have a code of ethics. Talking heads have no ethics.

That’s against people in his own party. Only Trump would crow about cannibalizing his own.

I saw no data backing anything claimed in the first article. That makes it opinion, at best. Their second articles stated “by our definitions”. If you set the definitions and cherry pick your data, any point can be made. That don’t make it right. Anybody who interprets economic data is doing it to support an agenda. Gotta take all of it with a box of salt. Right, left, or center.

You’re missing a key point. Gerrymandering won’t matter in the midst of a senseless mismanaged war and $5.00 gasoline. Trump owns that whether he thinks so or not. He’s commander in chief until the buck stops, then he takes no responsibility. The whole party is going to pay. Any map they draw will have at least 10% independents. Enough to close any gap.

Do you know what a rate of increase is? Prices may have been higher but they’ve never jumped this fast. Trump’s done throwed hisself into a briar patch.

Yeah, I generally take an insult as a challenge. Don’t you?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No, I hope they emerge as a vibrant democracy.

You didn’t see J.D. over there at a rally giving him a full throated endorsement? It was a repudiation of authoritarianism as much as anything.

Victor Orban, Trump’s buddy, got the Trump Bump yesterday. Trump’s endorsement bumped him straight out of power. Poor Donald John is withering just like the Wicked Witch of the West.

That’s propaganda. All it’s gotten us is a raspberry from Iran. Oooooohhhh…scared the bejeezeus out of them, huh?

The other presidents knew there would be a considerable risk of getting kicked in the gonads going into Iran. Like Trump has been.

Yeah. Christianity was used as the conquering political ideology of Western Civilization. Does that mean it’s not a religion either?

High heat

I’m afraid it’s looking like a pressure cooker on high gear with a broken pop off valve. What happens is anybody’s guess. I know Hegseth is the most ignorant sycophantic Secretary of Defense in our history.

Yup…

It made Iran back out.

In fact, this whole fiasco can be summed up with a line from my favorite movie. “Shut the **** up Donnie. You’re out of your depth”.
