Mid-terms

[Angela Channing]

Polls are showing it has indeed backfired spectacularly, but can't always trust the polls.

But what does Trump think of Ramaswamy's ass?

Trump's ass montage ("arse" for our UK friends) begins at ~5:00 . It goes on and on.

Parental discretion advised.

Trump 1.0: "grab 'em by the pussy."

Trump 2.0: "I looked at his ass."

That's quite the persuasive speech he made. War, high gas prices, data centers, and muscular male asses. USA! USA!

People are complaining about his broken promise of no new wars and its effect on prices. What about the promise he did keep - the tariffs? That was always going to raise prices for American consumers, but they voted for him anyway.

Because they were desperate and had been living in an economic shit show for four years. They obviously didn't think it could get worse.

Perhaps if the "opposition party" governed on behalf of the people and didn't start new wars themselves, a demagogue like Trump wouldn't be president.

Four years of "Weekend at Bernie's" rehabilitated Trump's image in the eyes of his voters. The fact that the Dems didn't hold a real primary in 2024, despite knowing for years that Biden was in no shape to continue, was the final nail in the coffin. The voters heard no new wars, lower prices, and more jobs coming from Trump, which was more than you could say for the Dems. The specifics of the tariffs probably weren't even on their mind back then.

What they did know was that vapid, cackling Kamala had been installed by the Dems rather than voted on by the public. That, along with being unable to differentiate herself from Biden, ultimately sank her campaign. Campaigning with and touting the endorsement of neocons was incredibly stupid as well, and even her running mate said as much. Campaign wise, they were running to the right of Trump. The Dems have been chasing the right-wing vote since 2016, and we have paid dearly for it ever since. All they care about is power, but even if they do regain control, it will likely be short lived. We're always ping ponging between Republicans and Democrats because the party in control is always full of corporate whores and war mongers. Voters invariably get tired of it and make the switch, but since both parties are corrupt and compromised, it accomplishes nothing. It's just a never-ending cycle of bullshit.

I won't try to argue that the Dems ran a good campaign, but tariffs were specifically raised. Trump, then as now, ran the line (read "lie") that they are paid by the foreign countries, and people bought it. Kamala called them a sales tax on everything but, like much of her campaign, it failed to break through.

Political lies are easier to fall for when your current situation is dire, and most voters associated Harris with the status quo. Now the Dems are poised to take back control over the next 2 years because Trump made things worse. Unfortunately, they'll probably squander the opportunity if given the chance.

They actually won't have much of an opportunity to squander. Even if the Dems take both the House and the Senate, they won't have a Veto proof majority, so nothing will change except they can probably block some of Trump most egregiously unqualified appointments.

True, but I was thinking more along the lines of if they also win back the White House in 2028.

Of course, Dems fast tracked Trump's judges and approved his outrageous military spending during his first term, so they can still screw up before then.

The establishment is going hard after the progressives like they always do, which is a bad sign. And Zionist stooge John Fetterman is leading the charge.

Trump's economic advisor Kevin Hassett is going around saying that there isn't an affordability crisis. He claims that was made up by "Trump haters."

The average consumer's wallet tells a different story, but then these ghouls don't live in the real world.

Today I paid $7 for a pound of bacon. But there's not an affordability problem?

It's probably meatless 3-D printer pork from Israel anyway.
