Maybe it's because I don't consume as much news media as I used to / use social media less, but people overrate how important these speeches are and how many people actually watch Further, Donald Trump is the most known figure in politics today and is polarizing beyond belief. Everyone has an opinion on him. The downside to that is that he has a hard floor politically, but the flip side is that his ability to sell those who disapprove of him (which is what he needs to do to help his party) is near impossible at this point.

No, although normies got to see him looking like he drank from the wrong chalice lol

Damn right....

This is correct. And for just about any other politician, sharing something like that would be a career-ender. But for whatever reason, too many people can't call it for what it is when Donald Trump is involved. It's deranged.

Most likely yeah. Think we know what they are *trying* to accomplish here, but have seem really little evidence that what they are trying to accomplish is actually what's going to happen. It's just going to piss people off more in all likelihood (which is a byproduct of how unpopular they've become)

Yeah, the video opens the door to the possibility of premeditation. That makes it way worse...

Gonna guess he'll be acquitted in like five seconds... But still meant to chill any sort of independent journalism

I'm shocked to find that, despite the Mainstream Media bleating about "Trump's softer tone", he hasn't changed his views one iota.

You have any comment on the top advisor to the President of the United States called Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist three days ago, but now says mistakes may have been made? Or are we gonna talk about Chuck's religious views?

She's not wrong. The buck stops with the President.

The murder is obviously the biggest travesty, but I can't get around the constant lying and victim blaming Don't understand how any self-respecting person can trust or believe anything this government says going forward given how they lied through their teeth about Alex Pretti.

Given his heel turn, this is notable

It's totally surprising (in a completely "not surprising at all" kinda way) that our guy Holic cannot address how his parents woke up on a normal Saturday morning and, by the end of the day, had witnessed their son killed and his name slandered and dragged through the mud by this government. The silence kinda says it all One little repost from an organization whose board is stacked with people who owe their jobs to this administration doesn't change how horrific that is. Just as all the Mario Nawfal reposts on many other topics don't change anything either.

And he replaced them with his own cronies. Which is the point... So when they speak, they speak for him. Just as this government spoke for him everytime they have committed an act of violence on the streets of Minneapolis.

Nice as it is to see Bovino out of Minneapolis, it really can't stop with him. The big fish is Miller

Worth noting that Trump overhauled the board in Spring 2025 by firing all 12 of Biden's appointees and replaced them with cronies. So yeah, not clear to me whether they are really impartial on any of this

Greg Bovino may need to retire to Buenos Aires at this point lol

Well well well indeed...

The big thing about Grant is that he was constantly on *offense*.... certainly while he was in the western theater, but his presence in the eastern theater (previously led by leaders who were ineffective and/or political in nature and constantly reacting to events as opposed to shaping them) changed the tide of the war. It also again gives a moment to drop this quote of his that everyone should internalize about our current moment:

Trump I is long gone at this point.... it's like comparing apples and bananas.

Miller would be the real prize in all of this, because he's the one driving it all... but this stuff is toxic. And they all know it.
