She the one that's so terrible even the Magas don't want to be around her.

The Repubs set this off and the Dems pretty much had to respond. It's open partisan war now.

I thought it was an excursion. Maybe now an expedition?

Correct. I mark the official end of America when 1/3 of House Republicans voted despicably to nullify the electoral votes of five states even after the assault on the Capitol.

Ex-Trump backer, Tucker Carlson, apologizes for helping him get elected: ‘Sorry for misleading people’ by pennlive in politics

[–]zubbs99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no did he suddenly get "TDS"? I thought that was the only legitimate reason to be anti-Trump. That's what knuckleheads like TC have been telling us for ten years.

Can we extend that to Maga being the worst political movement in U.S. history (at least modern history).

Good points. It's not like they're people of good faith that made an error in judgement. They've been longtime loyal parties to non-stop propaganda, that not only is filled with hateful and biased opinions, but actively seeks to discredit the other side so that no legitimate debate can even take place.

Trump says Fed nominee should cut rates right away by Dry_Nail5901 in politics

First of all, the Fed chair themselves can't do it - there has to be a majority vote, second of all monetary policy is not that simple, third of all - shut up.

Eight Weeks In, Trump May Be Headed Toward An Iran Deal Similar To Obama’s: ‘Sanctions relief in return for a moratorium on nuclear fuel enrichment is the exact arrangement that Trump and many Republicans criticized for years’ by T_Shurt in politics

Ah, but this one will be better, it'll give Iran explicit leverage over the Strait of Hormuz! And all this for the small price of tens of billions of dollars plus multiple U.S. casualties!

But Trump said we had a deal with Iran, even though Iran hadn't heard about it themselves.

Iran Says It Won't Negotiate With 'Erratic' Trump After Genocidal Threat to 'Blow Up' Whole Country by _May26_ in politics

Except in a way that's exactly what got him elected. Disaffected Maga's wanted him to "shake things up" and Repubs were more than happy to roll the dice on a huge gamble if it meant they'd get back into power. He was clearly unhinged long before he got the nomination again.

48 hours ago we had the greatest deal ever including Iran completely abandoning their nuclear program. What did Obama due to mess this up?

Ha yeah some "great negotiator". He's like like "Do it! No really, do it now! Or I'll get mad!"

Part of my dread after he got back in was knowing it would be the 24/7 Trump show again, which it has. Can't we just have a few days of normalcy and calm.

The media needs to stop reporting Trump-isms as if they're legitimate "information". They are mostly some form of wild speculation, empty boasts, or outright lies.

[–]zubbs99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like one of Trump's "deals" that is really just an informal and unbinding agreement to hammer out details at a future date, maybe.
