@BlueBoxDave Which means the problem is left to grow.

This was the test and conservatives failed it laughably badly. It was game, set, match.

@EndWokeness Here it comes... thought control.

May be talking around each other. The shock to me, which I am over, is how traitorous/inept Republican leadership has been shown. We vote Republican now because there are some among them who are with us. There are no Democrats on the side of America. Stay in the game.

@JedSkillman I disagree. Perfect is the enemy of good. Trump's second win was a chance. It wasn't perfect but it was a chance. Because it wasn't perfect the Right will blow that chance chasing perfection.

I went from there is no saving the Left to there is no saving the Right and now I'm arriving at there is no saving America.

@realsashastone Sorry to see you're so down hearted.

@realsashastone The right is not squandering power, but the Republican Party is throwing it away. We The People have to keep our eyes open and our heads on straight. Our opposition is operating from a position of power, but there is no common sense behind it. They'll make a mistake.

Watching the Right squander power that was a once-in-a-generation chance, though, might actually take the cake.

@SMcMaho10492510 @realsashastone They did it deliberately and with purpose of forethought.

@realsashastone I agree. I've never seen any organization so hard. All they had to do was stay the course, keep up the good work domestically and they would have been able to claim their laurels. Instead, they've tripped and fallen into a 50' well and dragged the whole country in with them.

A work of art...

How corrupt is Congress? You can get 70 Senators to approve sending American taxpayer money to Ukraine to be stolen but you can’t get 51 Senators to approve passing election integrity laws for America. It’s sickening.

Failure to connect the dots... much!

@mattvanswol On the other hand, we’ll never be able to fake reality. And anyone who is aware of reality has the advantage.

I think I know why everything sucks... ...and it's because everything is fake We are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach you fake education and get you fake jobs. We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research. We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products. We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything. We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves. We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage. We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real. We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat. We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments. We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths. We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months. We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made. IT. IS. ALL. FAKE. And we all yearn for what was once real. Don't you remember? Did you forget? There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract. When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does! When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them. When a family could live off a single income. When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it. When schools was HARD... and that was the point! When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house, When you bought something once... and it was yours forever. When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad. And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.

@BlueBoxDave Agreed, politics is about the possible. But we need to bear in mind the old Ralph Waldo Emerson warning, “Things refuse to be mismanaged for long”.

Conservatives have to accept the real possibility that doing what it takes to carry out mass deportations is more than the public will tolerate. The administration is clearly bending to that popular pressure, and it might be a political reality that can’t be changed.

@BrandiKruse Maybe they’re not so smart… ‘dja ever think of that?

I've never seen someone so smart do something so stupid. Washington state's decline is sealed.

@LangmanVince It is more than sad.

Tucker Carlson's pure hatred for the Jews has made him lose all credibility. It's truly sad what's happened to his once powerful voice in the Conservative movement.

@TheCalvinCooli1 It's pretty obvious John Thune has never read The Art Of The Deal.

🚨Report: Senator Cory Booker says he is not ruling out a possible presidential run in 2028

@RealJamesWoods Trump was made for our times. I don't believe he will be the last great president, or great world leader from any country. Greatness grows to match its challenges. We're fortunate and blessed enough to have his brand of leadership to face the challenges of our times.

We will never have, by every good metric imaginable, a President as great as Donald Trump. He has literally been one man in the storm, turning back a tsunami of graft, corruption, and sloth in Washington and beyond. He is a gladiator, a truly unstoppable force of nature.

@RealJamesWoods Soak it all up now. We are living in a story that will be told for thousands of years.

@RealJamesWoods Greatest President

@politeracy @TPCarney Among Chicago's positives is the stunning architecture . This thing looks like something left floating in the punchbowl.

@TPCarney Also unnecessarily big and too tall.

Unneccessarily BIG. Too tall!

For two straight years, Democratic officials, White House staffers, and media figures went on camera and said Joe Biden had a photographic memory, limitless energy, and zero signs of cognitive decline. These are the actual quotes: “He works us all under the table.” “I can’t even keep up with him.” “I never, ever, ever felt like I saw anything that was decline.” These weren’t random supporters. These were people who rode Air Force One with him. People who walked into the Oval Office and sat across the desk. Not one of them expressed a single concern on camera. Then came the debate. Within days, the same party that spent two years calling him the most accomplished president of their lifetime removed him from the ticket. Not one person who said those things has been asked publicly to explain the difference between what they told America and what they knew. Nobody has answered that question yet.
