That’s called a taint squeeze.

They are just declaring their neighbors illegitimate and marching in like Putin.

I’m happy they did the right thing. I lived under Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump. (Don’t really remember Bush Sr or Regan personally) And one team helps us, and the other fucks us over. I will remember this in the voting booth.

Then we got the leaks saying the Chinese Military is Fubared by corruption down to the warehouse workers.

Russia could at least limp into Donbas when their Kiev assault disintegrated. If China tries to invade Taiwan and their missiles don’t launch, it will be a stupidly expensive, deadly, embarrassment. Just ships and planes littering the ocean floor.

Xhi needs to be confident that his navy won’t get pulled into Taipei ports by tugboat like Russian Tanks in the cornfields.

They can’t do everything everywhere all at once.

Biden kind of adopted Trump’s economic policy. Except for tax policy

But in every other way, he is vastly Superior.

Sorry to come with “um, ackshuslly” but they didn’t ask if they were convicted of a crime. The question was "were they jailed? And according to your post, they were not.

I’ve argued for years that while I don’t like Manchin personally, he is far superior to any Republican he has run against.

He votes for the good of the country more often than “centrist” Republicans like john McCain or Lisa Murkowski ever have. He has been a blessing to this country and the world.

Liberals are not the same as fascists or conservatives. They are preferable to either.

But not as good as leftists.

Possible exception would be Ohio, but that state isn’t in play really, so it would change nothing.

I wouldn’t believe the same things I believe now. I don’t think I am some kind of truth oracle.

But I wouldn’t believe Trump is an honest or God fearing man. That requires an emotional investment in the lie that I don’t think any version of me could sustain.

The divorces, the lechery, the misogyny, the racism, the repeated refusal to pay his contractors. (Theft)

Those are matters of public record. They vastly predate his status as a politician. Trump was a real life movie villain back in the 1980’s when Back to the Future was made.

If I was still a Christian hearing my pastor sing Trump’s praises every week would make me question the pastor, and if the congregation stuck by him I would question the whole church.

That doesn’t solve the mystery. If those sources were the only ones I could read, I still wouldn’t think Trump was anything but a liar.

I’m depressingly curious why voters would trust trump on anything .

We got the most left wing president since 1968 and you are over here saying “they just keep getting worse!”

It’s a war not a battle. Biden has moved left because he saw the protests in 2020 and how much support Bernie got. He got called out on student debt forgiveness and low and behold he got billions of dollars forgiven even after the supreme Court ruled to block him.

The man listens to the people.

But please, bring the criminal back into office so he can pardon himself and all his fellow criminals. So he can write netanyahu a blank check. Hang Ukraine out to dry! They don’t matter! The Palestinians are being killed!, and honestly what’s the worst that could happen? Jan 6 will never come back for round 2!

That’s what you sound like.

This is either deep stupidity or willfull ignorance

Ie: bad faith.

He was bailed out because he passed Ukraine aid. (And Israel aid, and Taiwan). And before that he avoided a government shutdown.

He caved on democratic priorities, which, sure, he should have done anyway, but he broke the Hastert rule for the first time in decades.

Preventing geanocide with more genocide.
The tragedy of the Holocaust was the death, not the enthnicity of the slain.
They lost the plot, and so have our leaders.

I think Johnson got into briefing rooms with the white house, the CIA, and the Joint Chiefs, and realized that the maga games have the potential to spiral into world war 3. Death and destruction beyond anything humanity has ever seen.

And he started figuring out how to givern like an adult. McCarthy had already burned too many bridges with Dems. They hated him. Johnson was a fresh face and Dems were desperate for someone they could cut deals with.

It is fucking insane, but it’s nonsense to punish him by handing power the guy that wants to genocide harder.

Sure, but stars don’t decay before our eyes.
