Dr. Strangelove

He's currently announcing his Presidential Bid in a highly publicized event on Twitter with noted moron Elon Musk and its not working.

This guy is a RINO. The woke mob got to Ronald Reagan, they'll come for you too if you don't arm yourself with an AR-15.

An extremely Progressive Tax bracket? Careful, you're going to make this country into Denmark or the progressive hellhole of Sweden. I hear they live really long and have happy lives.

Exactly this. There are a variety of reasons that tax bracket could be living paycheck to paycheck, but I'm not going to cry if their tax rates go up a few percent. But there are other taxes that Republicans refuse to implement, like a surcharge on capital gains for stock transactions with $1 million or more. Raising capital gainss rates for long term holdings higher than 15% for income groups higher than a certain amount, etc. All would be revenue raisers, none would adversely impact 99% of Americans and all these proposals DOA in Republican circles.

According to Joe Biden, those that make more than 400k. McCarthy rejects anything that raises revenue. As of now, McCarthy doesn't have the votes to pass anything because of the Qaucus on the Right. Even if he got Joe Biden to concede on every point, Republicans simply don't have the votes. Anything that keeps the government functioning is simply a concession that is unacceptable to them.

A majority of Americans also favor closing tax loopholes and raising taxes on the wealthy. Guess which Political Party wanted to close tax loopholes, impose taxes on the ultra wealthy AND conceded to spending cuts to McCarthy? (Which he rejected because Republicans aren't serious about the debt whatsoever)

I certainly don't think Florida is a swing state anymore. Much like Ohio, Iowa or Colorado. These states aren't really competitive anymore. The issue with DeSantis is if his cultural grievance schtick is actually viable outside of Florida, with an electorate much older than average. And if he is able to run a campaign that reaches out to anybody who's brain hasn't been melted by Fox News.

Jokes aside, I'm genuinely interested in who Republicans will nominate in their primary. Donald Trump and his many indictments, civil lawsuits, and message of Democracy=bad vs Ron DeSantis who has the charisma of a pickle sandwich? The horde of Trumpers will probably carry Trump, but this should be interesting going forward.

Announcing on Twitter with notorious moderate Elon Musk. This is the sign of a completely serious political party. Announcing on a woke televised station like ABC or CBS is what CRT indoctrinated libs do.

Or certain voters really don't want to think they're voting for the bad guys and rationalize their support for them.

This is like semi-finals at the Olympics fast. Although I don't think Nebraska lands this one.

"But yeah I was chanting 'Lock her up' back in 2016."

Tag me next time, coward.

Is this an insult right wingers are using now? I don't now what this means. If you're referring to the devastation liberals feel after the bombshell Durham Report completely vindicated Trump, you are absolutely correct! I feel major sads in any report that right wingers latch onto to embolden their support of incredible candidates like Donald J. Trump. I feel really owned that the right wing machine is bolstering around a guy who said live on CNN that he's responsible for the Dobbs decision and that women let you grab them by the pu&&y just a week ago. He should run for President again! He should insert himself into politics as much as possible. He should force every Senate candidate - as a show of loyalty - to pledge that Trump actually won in 2020 and all investigations into him were hoaxes! I'd feel major collusion sads. Like I can't express enough how much I don't want this to happen. My collusion sads are off the charts right now.

This is hilarious. I'm sorry you voted for a guy Russia wanted to elect, a now criminal who grifted the Republican Party into the abyss and has successfully convinced your entire voting base that Democracy is bad, making your party unelectable. I get it, the Durham Report didn't find that any laws were broken by the FBI, that the Justice Department aggressively pursued their case leading to 37 criminal indictments, that nearly everybody in your former Presidents orbit has been convicted of numerous crimes, and that you and @DefenderAO were gullible enough to fall for it all. It was obvious from the beginning what Trump was and now your party is an international laughingstock and a historical embarrassment. I do appreciate the electoral wins you've given us, so thank you for that.

"The entire point was to conclude that the FBI, Justice Department, broke no laws even though Republicans hoped to find illegal wrongdoing. Nevertheless, it felt pretty mean to investigate Trump even though it led to 37 criminal indictments of people in Trumps orbit. Like super mean. Donald Trump is a pretty well known, squeaky clean straightshooter. Investigating him was wrong."

"After a very long time of trying to find wrongdoing we were unable to find anything that was wrong. But it's my opinion that crimes were committed even though I have absolutely no proof" What amazes me is that this is separate from the Congressional inquiry where they also admitted to finding nothing. Of course, why wouldn't they engage in political theater? Republican voters aren't going to change their votes - they're going to find something to justify their worldview. If it's not the Durham report it's going to be CRT in schools. If it's not Hunter Biden personally eating Republican babies, it's drug laced immigrants crossing the border leading to surging crime rates.

Conservatives trying to claw out meaning from the Durham report to fit their narrative is pretty funny. It's like when Congressional Republicans lost all their witnesses to the bombshell that Biden is totally corrupt while in office. The lows they go to and how the Republican electorate rewards them no matter what is hilarious. Hopefully they lose their election.

Exactly. Our O-Line isn't just bad, it's dangerous. Every QB who's played behind it has ended up injured, 3 of which required off season surgery including a guy who ate through a tube for half a year. Why would Dylan want to play behind that if they want to go to the NFL?

I mean, this is hilarious. Part of me wonders if he genuinely wants to know how far he can push things and still get the votes of Republicans.

We're a 20 cent increase in gas prices next summer from the Republican nominee being favored to win. The election is going to come down to 5 swing states, all will be extremely close.

Republican voters, being highly reasonable and who truly care about America, are no doubt going to conclude that Biden is flawed but his "legal" problems are non-existent. They will compare obvious political theater Congressional Republicans have conducted with that of the actual legal issues of Trump and will vote accordingly. Trump is going to win this nomination in an absolute blowout. He may actually call DeSantis a CRT-laced-trans-woman on the debate stage and get a booming applause for it.

The CNN Town Hall with Trump is the Republican Party in its pure, concentrated form. What an absolute mess. An hour of unhinged ranting from a pathetic moron at the head of the Republican Party, a shell of its former self.l remade in the image of the people who vote for him.

I took best efforts to find an article that explained the situation as best as possible. Estimating the amount of successful illegal immigration is pretty difficult. I do think that efforts to cross illegally into the United States is at a high point. The immigration crisis at the border, realistically, is unlikely to change for a very long time. But this thread is about gun violence and the false belief some conservatives posting in here who believe immigrants are to blame.

Illegal immigration peaked in 2007 and has fallen since. Border apprehensions, on the other hand, is at an all time high. This should be regarded as a good thing by voters who care about this issue, but alas Republican voters equate border apprehensions with increased successful illegal immigration which isn't the case. Illegal immigration became a prevalent issue due to Trump. At its peak in 2007, Republicans made it less of an issue is because of an open secret: huge swaths of the economy depends on cheap immigration labor, particularly in agriculture and construction. The recent downward trend in illegal immigration is a big reason there is a large labor shortage.
