      Or was all over the Epstein files, or did a little insurrection, or when he was a raging misogynist or when he did a bunch of cons and embezzlement from the American taxpayer or did an illegal war or…

        Even supposing that, which is showing cracks more than the Republican party is, Trump ran on America first. Obviously it doesn’t help to argue that Trump is a conman liar in every endeavor he takes, but Israel not actually being America and California being America seems pretty on the nose as definitionally a dead platform.

    Trump has no agenda beyond greed, corruption, narcissism, and the big con. By all accounts he is not smart enough to architect ANY master plan. Everything he does, he is paid (or otherwise manipulated) to do; whether it be by Putin, the Saudis, or a thousand other domestic or foreign billionaires. Everything he’s ever signed is ghost-written by billionaire legal teams and lobbyists. Not a word of it is “for the people”.

    He is nothing more than the antichrist figurehead of the fascist kleptocracy. When he is dead, the fascist kleptocracy will remain.

      I think that’s still Kissinger but it’s become a much closer race than it used to be

        Oh come on, I have no love for Kissinger but credit to where it’s due, he is far smarter than the annoying orange. Kissinger was the power behind the throne.

          I was coming more from a “Kissinger was somehow involved in so many war crimes through post ww2 American history” like Forrest was everywhere, not the “he’s not very smart” perspective. Trump is WAY dumber but hasn’t put in nearly as many years as ole Hank

    Uh huh. Did the jellyfish suddenly grow spines? Collectively? No? I didn’t think so. Posturing before midterms. Boss donny allows it.

      Bacon is retiring at the end of this term.

      No need, he only had the spine to say that because he’s on his way out the door.

      No such thing as a “fiscal conservative on the left” but there are in the DNC.

      Tbth if there was any actual pushback against Trump, this guy would be introducing articles of impeachment and calling for the 25th or removal and prosecution.

    It would be awfully convenient for the gop to get donald out of the way before the elections. Particularly if it happens in a way that garners sympathy

      I know that’s a rethorical but Canada could provide so much more oil than Russia ever could, and faster since the infrastructure already exists. But that would mean not being an asshole to them so he can’t do that.
