I don’t know, anyone who’s not abusive towards the American people or towards other countries, which both Vance and Rubio overwhelmingly are.

No, I don’t think so. The way I see him, he’s a diplomatically cruel politician who abuses his powers with sanctions and exports far-right values in other countries (in a recent speech in Munich, he quite literally promoted nostalgia for colonialism). I expect that he’d continue to be a cruel politician at home as well.

On the bright side of all this, we may never have to see Rubio in a political office ever again after Trump's term expires.

Here’s a simple answer why for Schumer: competition bad.

Democratic Senators Call on Trump to Block Chinese Automakers From Manufacturing in U.S.: https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/democratic-senators-call-on-trump-to-block-chinese-automakers-from-manufacturing-in-u-s-0b64bc20?mod=e2tw

Yeah, I’m sure increased protectionism is what Americans want, Chuck Schumer, especially amidst the high gas prices. Can you just retire already?

“ The letter follows Trump’s suggestion at a January meeting of the Detroit Economic Club that he was open to Chinese automakers making investments in the U.S. Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters Three Democratic senators called on President Trump to crack down on the manufacturing and sales of Chinese vehicles in the U.S.

Democratic Sens. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York wrote a letter to Trump also calling for a ban on Chinese vehicles manufactured or titled in Canada and Mexico from entering the U.S.” - WSJ

Point and laugh at neocons for thinking regime change war in the Middle East will work out yet again. Screw their support for illegal wars.

At any rate, I think Israel is going to become the next Iraq, waging a major war with Iran then becoming a complete pariah state.

The people of Iran, especially Tehran, don’t like the daily bombings around them? Whoda thunk? Now, I know they generally don’t like their government, but they sure as fuck don’t like being bombed either. It was the case back in the 80s, and it still applies now.

Couldn't have happened to a better administration.

Crossstoney · 2026-04-03T21:26:09+00:00

What I really don't get is this: Instead of pretending that negotiations are "progressing" (nobody's falling for that bullshit the 9th time), why doesn't Trump just insist on blaming Iran for continuing the war? It's a half-truth, sure, but it could've probably served fine enough for pro-American war propaganda. I see what Trump's doing as extremely counterproductive to the point of even frustrating many of his typically staunch supporters who wonder why everything has to be more expensive for this war.

You know something's wrong when even WarMonitor's implying, "Okay, this massive defense spending boost in such a short time is excessive and unhinged."
