Democrats are terrible because their failures are what elected Trump, who I am pretty much okay with.

This simply is not how EMAILS and BIDEN OLD was covered in 2016 and 2024. It’s a totally different standard for the One Special Boy and the Republican Party.

Trump’s TIME interview should have been treated about like Biden’s debate performance. That it mostly wasn’t says a lot about the media’s ongoing normalization of Trump’s cognitive downward spiral.

He promised to cut energy bills in half in 6 months and gas prices would be under $2. He never said he couldn’t do that because he’s “inheriting a mess.” He said he would do it & it would be easy. So he can try & blame Biden now all he wants, but he blatantly lied & is a buffoon.

Trump billed the new plant as “the 8th wonder of the world.” Officials spent more than $1.2 billion for highways and water, sewer and electrical systems for Foxconn. The project was eventually scaled down to a “storage” facility with fewer than 1,200 jobs. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/w...

The pro voter ID ad that just ran during the SF Giants game was financed by Nicole Shanahan, who had an affair with Elon Musk while she was married to Google founder Sergey Brin. She was then RFK Jr.’s VP running mate during his presidential campaign. I hate everything BTW.

What Trump has realized is that to really defend Washington from terrorists and antifa and other bad guys you need to concentrate the drones and machine gunners in one highly visible building that can be attacked line of sight from any direction or just blown up.

As I said the first time Trump proposed tariffs: this is precisely why he likes them! It makes everyone come to him on bended knee, begging for exemptions. It makes economic survival dependent on his whim. That, not any economic theory, is the whole attraction. Mafia boss thinking.

Biden checks his watch at a ceremony and Fox does nonstop segments on it for weeks. But Trump falls asleep repeatedly at the 9/11 ceremony and they won’t even show it. But national broadcast news networks won’t show it either because that would be impolite.

Trump’s 9/11 comment that he went down to the scene to help has been a lie he’s repeated for 25 years. It’s his own version of stolen valor. He did nothing except go on TV & brag that he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan after the towers went down. Which was also a lie.

Bush claimed a mandate after winning by 2.4%. Trump claimed one after winning by 1.5%. Each mistook a narrow victory for sweeping approval, overreached, and descended into historic disapproval. With 75 days to the midterms, history might have something to teach us.
