After what happened in Hungary JD may end up being liberalism's greatest warrior.

Hey that's why Mississippi votes so heavily red, they just have to to keep that that dastardly overbearing government out of peoples personal business!

Even if that was true Biden was still a far better President. Better negotiator and according to what else Republicans accuse him of a better businessman and criminal as well. Total package! Truly under Biden was America the hottest.

Let's not forget that JD Vance was in Hungary shilling publicly at election events in support of Viktor Orban, an authoritarian ruler also heavily supported by Putin. How did we end up aligned with with Russia on such political issues?

Then Vance is in Iran and is supposed to be negotiating some sort of end to this needless conflict and as he's telling the press that negotiations have failed the President and the fucking Secretary of State are attending a UFC fight. Something something Nero and fiddles.

13 Republican Senators and 5 Congresspeople. 18 human beings and they could step in against this war or do a number of other things. That's who squarely takes the blame here. By contrast Biden worked with Congress wherever was needed and yet Democrats still pushed their own incumbent off the ticket. No more "both sides" here, there is a big difference.

Oh my god how could I leave this complete fucking lie hanging.

Trump was charged in NY and found guilty *by a jury* so cope with NYC being lefty all you want it was unanimous.

Also the Mar A Lago documents case and the Jan 6 indictment were not charged because Trump got control of the DOJ and dismissed them so we'll never know now (but we can read Jack Smith's indictments and.. well, it ain't good)

Also let it bee known that Joe Biden did not stop or interfere in the special counsel into his own documents mishandling, sat down for a deposition and allowed the Hur report to be published whil ehe was in office.

He also did not interfere in the special counsel investigation into his own son.

Final Report of the Special Counsel Under 28 C.F.R. 600.8 (Fake elctor plot indictment)

Trump Documents Indictment

Meanwhile Trump has mananged to dodge even being deposed for any of this.

The canyon of decency and legality between these two men is enormous.

The news media that didn't stop talking about it for the entire year of the 2024 election cycle? The thing Jake-fucking-Tapper wrote a goddamned book about? That the conservative media ran with the entire time in lockstep as they tend to do? The media that excoriated the man for his debate performance so much he was pressured to drop out? Oh such a coverup!!!

Meanwhile Joe Biden right now is out being normal in the real world with no "dementia" to speak of and looking more cognizant than the current sitting President. Almost like he didn't have dementia and was just a man getting older with too much on his plate. Fact is like with Hillaries health concerns Biden's "dementia" was a conservative fabrication and so called liberal media has actually been in the minority for the past decade and a half but conservatives rely on the media-victim-complex too much to admit it.

Or maybe instead of some stupid conspiracy which cuts against everything Trump has ever said and done and there just wasn't any evidence there after all and conservatives have been lying about her the entire time. Just like with Comey. Just like with Letitia James. Just like with Bolton. Just like with Hunter Biden.

Maybe Trump and Republicans are just a pack of illiberal liars. Maybe that's our Occam's Razor here.

Good thing I didn't say one was being a good cop. But for real, the absolute gulf (heh) between Biden (and a theoretical Harris) and Trump on foreign policy is very apparent.

Degrees and scale have to still mean something.

Boring AC. Stop boring everyone.

ChaptGPT being useless because the answer to that question as well is "vote Democrat for the next 4 cycles" or at least you have a chance with Democrats versus zero with Republicans.

Not shedding tears does not mean i think it's good geopolitics, in fact its quite bad geopolitics but still, the Iranian regime is composed of some awful people with awful actions. Don't knee jerk react to 4 particular words in a row and try to comprehend my entire statement, you know, like human beings are supposed to be able to do or have we all burned those parts of our brains out from outrage baiting media.

It's a bit like when that firefighter was shot at the Trump rally. Yeah it's bad, people shouldn't be doing political violence but I have zero sympathy for a Jan 6 supporting guy who got clipped, particularity when the guy he supports has turned the violence temperature up to 11.

Yup and that's why no matter how cringe it makes one feel it's time to swallow that pride and vote Democrat in 2026. Then again in 2028 and then again in 2030 and then once more in 2032. After that amount of time being crushed maybe the Republican party will be in a place where the nation can consider viable stewards of governance but not before then. Things to get fixed and certain generations need to die off more before they can be trusted again.

So now we have to deal with an energy crunch, big gas prices for a few months, a potential global recession and Iran still gets to control Hormuz with a fancy new tax (which Trump said today we might take part in collection fees? So the terrible regime now we're gonna jump into business with?) and for what?

To stop them from making a nuke? When we were told their nuclear capability was obliterated months ago (remember that?!?) and when we could have simply continued or renegotiated inspections from the JCPOA but instead Trump scuttled that his first term.

And before anyone starts no, I'm not going to shed any tears for dead ayatollahs but that doesn't make this whole thing an embarrassing boondoggle and it certainly doesn't help almost 6 years of Trump regime foreign policy being a fucking joke that has made us look like lunatics on the world stage while China gets to sit back and plug away at building more tech and infrastructure. (also notice that there's not even mention of an infrastructure bill this term after so much talk in the first? yeah because Biden actually got it done. Twice. That's a real deal-maker.)

There's something to be said that both parties are the same in that they will both go play world police sometimes but for Republicans that means being the piece of shit corrupt cop.

Yup I remember when i adopted my first dog from the local humane society and they chip every animal that comes through but during the adoption they explained the chip doesn't actually do anything until you pay the database company a yearly(!) fee. I ended up never doing it because that felt like the most scummy thing on earth. Maybe that's just my state but it was an unreal moment and really dashed my ideas of how these things work.

It's very American that we take an idea that rally is a universal public good and declare "there's profit to be made" and effectively ruin it.

I get paying for the chip, it's a piece of hardware but the database should be maintained by your state with free access. It just doesn't make any sense otherwise.

Oh the time where Biden tried to do a thing, the SC said to stop and then he stopped and even when he tried a different way and the courts ruled against it then he respected the court (and said as such) and then stopped it.

Also unlike the tariffs the SC actually stayed the plan until judgement unlike the tariffs where the SC allowed them to just go on. Hmmm, almost like this current court leans a certain way. Hmmm.

Now, I want to be very clear — (applause) — very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans.

Ohhhhh so divisive you big fat baby.

Ahh yes those BLM of protests of 2021 who could forget.

Motherfucker who was President in the year 2020?!?!
