Apparently Democrats expressed discontent behind close doors and were said to be upset with Republicans for putting US lawmakers in a position where it wasn’t already to late to stop Trump from attacking Iran.

I see what you did there.

You’re the person who posted it, how about you do it so viewing the post itself isn’t a fucking nightmare?

People shouldn’t have to scroll endlessly to just eventually get to someone in the comments fixing your shitty formatting that doesn’t fix the main issue with readability and length.

It seems there may be cause for hope that Trump is fucking up so bad he is losing the moderate Republican vote.

The Monarch Formerly Known as Prince

I feel bad for writing that, like I just insulted Prince simply by association.

Thanks, I just may.

Username checks out.

…and it won’t start hurting them as long as Democrats keep doing dumbass shifting to the right to try to capture Republican voters votes and then blaming their own voters of not wanting the Democrats to be more conservative. Which in turn has allowed the Republican party to shift even more to the fascist authoritarian white nationalist right with impunity.

The Republican Party certainly doesn’t think it’s a problem and never has.

This is the party that shut down the original PATRIOT Act, the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995 because during the 90s anti-terrorism efforts were aimed squarely at homegrown right-wing white nationalist terrorism a la Ruby Ridge and the Oklahoma City Bombing. Once they had the scapegoat of middle eastern terrorism to switch gears to, which helped enable their virulent racism, then they embraced it as the PATRIOT Act.

Give me a few minutes and let me see if I can dig up that photo of the skinhead with “Whites for McCain” shirt on. EDIT: My bad, it was a Romney supporter.

Reading is for suckers.

I mentioned this the day he did the press conference to announce the 10% worldwide tariffs.

The tariffs were originally sold under the guise of managing fentanyl trafficking by forcing new trade agreements to be crafted piecemeal with various nations instead of the large multinational agreements of yesteryear.

They were sold on Trump being such an incredible dealmaker and his constant refrain that countries were coming to him and begging him to make deals.

He literally blew up every deal that was in the works not because anyone else in the world did anything wrong, but because he is mad at his own Supreme Court rightfully telling him to pound sand. He is punishing every idiot who took a chance to work with him, not because they didn’t follow through on their agreements but because he is the biggest baby bitch on the fucking planet who cannot handle being told “no” whether it’s a whole country, a court, or a thirteen year old girl.

Master dealmaker my fucking ass. Any country that was in the process of making a deal with him already had a lot of evidence he would blow up his own deals at his convenience, but this should be the final nail in the coffin of anyone even trying to work with the US and expecting the US to be acting in good faith.

Wesley Dingus

He really lived up to his name! I can’t imagine voting for a mayor whose last name was Dingus anyway.

Reminds me of my friend and I discussing this open source printer that you build and maintain yourself.

“I wonder how the NSA will install the unique invisible tracking dots into the firmware?”

EDIT: Oops forgot the link

Yeah as much as I prefer reading about things like this it is a bit silly to complain about it when it’s literally posted in a video-oriented community.

I dunno, it tracks to me. Someone sees Dude Where’s My Car in theaters in 2000 at the age of 16. In 2026 they’re 42 and have been working at an ad company for 15 years.

Also you often can’t view Twitter stuff like this without having an account and being logged in. (Thus the 403 Forbidden response)

At the very least they could use an xcancel link or something.

Yep. Should have just linked to this one, which works:

First mistake was using a Twitter (twimg) link.

and they likely won’t.

You mean the same Republican-dominated congress that has basically given him handjobs every time he breaks a fucking law and does something that is actually under the direction of congress? The same Republican-dominated congress that has essentially abdicated any responsibility to govern at all? I’m skeptical, but I hope you’re right.

What a fucking asshole

For real, this is another mask-off moment. He had played up the tariffs as a game to push other countries around, but clearly and literally the only reason he is doing this is because he’s pissed off at the Supreme Court. It has fuck-all to do with other countries because it’s the same rate, worldwide, with no room for negotiations. He’s supposed to be this great negotiator of trade deals with other countries, yet he’s blowing up every single potential trade deal with a flat 15% worldwide because he’s pissed off at people in his own government.

If people can’t tell that he doesn’t give a flying fuck about anything except pushing people around, doesn’t matter who or about what, they’re fucking idiots. He’s just a cruel fucking asshole, like you said.

two more to go, now.
