Is it just me or does it kind of look like he’s got little cartoon stars right above his head like he just got conked with a polo mallet or something

LOL

 

I bet Trump doesn't even know.   Officials have probably been told not to tell him because he'll throw a tantrum.    So have they told Vance?   Probably, and he probably says "what do you want me to do about it?"     

 

Absolute disgrace.   And we deserve every bit of it.

Move over:

• Battle of 73 Eastings
• Ukraine's victory at Hostomel Airport
• Dien Bien Phu (for the North)
• The Destruction of Army Group Center (for the Soviets)
• The Battle of Leyte Gulf - in particular the Battle of Surigao Strait where the reservists defeated the cream of the Japanese battle line
• A personal favorite:  General Grant at Vicksburg.

Seriously, though, how can this be real life?

Barack Obama once said "you didn't build that" and what he said was taken completely out of context. We had to have an entire election cycle's worth of TV ads bashing President Obama on his out of context statement and weeks worth of stories on Fox News about it. This was back in the 2012 election cycle, so in my libertarian days, I was probably one of the critics, criticizing Obama for it. Shame on me, I was wrong for it if I did it back then.

But the amount of things that Donald Trump says on a daily basis, minute by minute, that would have torpedoed Obama's campaign is just insane. On gas prices alone over the last month, he's up to at minimum, half a dozen statements or so, that would have spelled disaster for Obama. It would have meant their campaign would be in damage control for multiple news cycles and we all collectively would have had to suffer through months worth of TV ads, digital ads, mail pieces attacking him on it. It is mind boggling how all in the name of "fairness", "bothsidseisms", and "revenue from ratings" we have to suffer through Trump saying these things while suffering minimal to no consequences as a result of what he said. It's frankly ****ing exhausting having to live through this blatantly obvious double standard.

“It’s for sure a white man’s world in America. Yeah, I raised that boy since he was the size of a pissant. And I’ll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir! Had no brains a-tall. Was stuffed with rice pudding between the ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now. Yessir, all you gotta be is white in America to get whatever you want.

“Gobbledygook!”

I still haven't quite figured out what he is trying to accomplish by constantly making the most outrageous braggadocio claims possible. I think it might be related to the overall distraction strategy, so that we end up talking as much or more about the style of his brags versus the actual gravely important substance of topics he's bragging on. It's a way to mask the abject awfulness of the things he is doing, because it puts less pressure on him to defend the actual substance of his actions (beyond "you're a terrible person for asking me that").

I acknowledge that some will counter that Trump has a brain equivalent to a drain fly so he's not simply capable of conceiving or carrying out strategy or tactics, and that everything he does is statistically random and incapable of direction.

Their parents could not be prouder that President Trump is teaching their children about real life, I would imagine the mental gymnastics they engage in to be.

Is one side of his face drooping, or is that the angle of the picture?

It's the trick they learned from their Russian benefactors, something that was new to America: just train a fire hose of craziness, corruption, and distraction toward the American public, and the critics will be dancing around so much trying to respond coherently to all of it that they won't be able to keep any of it in the news for more than a single cycle. No other president had the fire hose, so none of the other ones could ever get away with anything remotely close to this.

I love it so much when billionaires tell poor people how they should feel about money.

The only problem (OK - not the *only* problem) with MTGs epiphany is that if she were a more serious person she would have stayed in the House and kept up the opposition. But it points up  how hard it is for the blue side to actually move these people to their side. Trump is losing support among people like Green who have come to oppose him on an issue, e.g. Green on Epstein, Carlson on Iran, but who still support too much of the remaining RW agenda to ever actually vote on the blue side. 

I have been fooled before, but i'm starting to come around on Green.  I don't think she's bright, but I am starting to think she went to congress for 'the right' reasons. (I'm not advocating that her 'right reasons' were good, just saying she may have truly felt she was fighting for the good)  It took her some time to realize the new swamp was the same as the old swamp (possibly worse).  At the time she appears to have decided to publicly go against Trump, that was still a death sentence though, especially in hard right leaning districts.  So choosing to run might have actually looked like less serious action than stepping down and using the media like she has to put doubts in MAGA minds.

It's not all about using Carlson and Green to flip people from red to blue either.  I didn't flip to blue in 2016, but I didn't vote red either.  So they may not flip folks, but it can cause them to not support the GOP either.  

I suspect not all of you will agree with that last statement, but man, when I point out something shady Nessel did, or something stupid Whitmer did, even though I voted for them and will continue to vote blue until a major political change within the GOP, it's met with fire.  Winning over voters from another party is a home run, but disenfranchising them from their own party still puts runs on the board if you get enough of them.

Up until Iran, I had felt that the combination of Democratic turnout energy and GOP voter disillusionment (as in "i'm not voting for anyone")  would be the bigger factor in this cycle that the number of voters that actually change sides. e.g. MB just linked a tweet from the Ohio primary claiming that participation on the GOP side of the primary was down.

But depending on how Iran ends and how long it takes for gas prices to come down, I think the calculus on how many people do actively switch sides can change.
