    Republicans Would Rather Cede Power To Democrats Than Their Own Voters


    Just when you think the Senate GOP couldn’t get any more useless than it already is, its members find a way to prove you wrong.

    While the SAVE America Act continues to languish, the Department of Homeland Security (including ICE and Border Patrol) remains unfunded, and dozens of Trump nominees await confirmation, Senate Majority Leader John Thune did what any typical Republican would do. He sent the upper chamber home on a two-week vacation.

    [​IMG]
    Although “home” may not be the best descriptor for some senators. The unmarried and childless Lindsey Graham took a break from giving his asinine Iran takes to parade around Walt Disney World over the weekend. And he even got a bubble wand to prove it!

    Demoralizing their base and independent voters may seem like a baffling decision considering that the 2026 midterms are mere months away. That is, until you realize that for some Republicans that’s the entire point.

    For too many within the GOP caucus, that is unacceptable. So unacceptable that many within the GOP conference would be fine ceding power to Democrats for an election cycle than to voters within their own party for generations.

    This presents a difficult situation for Republican voters.

    They can either sit out the midterms, thereby handing power to Democrats, who will unquestionably use their majorities to punish
    the American people for their decisions in the 2024 election. Or they can pinch their noses and vote for the same gutless Republicans
    who refuse to use the power they currently have.

    Neither option is particularly tasteful. But the good news is it doesn’t have to be this way.

    More evidence of a pending 2026 midterm blood bath.

    Gotta blame the fridge level IQ voters also, this isn't just on the Biden admin...any other Republican would have be alright but they picked the clown show once again.

    This is true. We need to take a hard look in the mirror. I saw a poll this morning where Trump STILL .... RIGHT NOW.... has a 39% approval rating. That is INSANE. We should be hard on the opposition to be better always, but holy crap half of America is really freaking stupid.

    Everyone that voted for Trump knew who he was, and how bad he was. This is just the country we live in. As a country we always vote Republican as a default, and then only vote Democrat when Republicans screw it up so bad that the swing voters switch sides as a punishment to Republicans, and then when things are back going just fine they ALWAYS go back to Republicans over and over and over again.

    Thank God we've had a Democracy up until this point to allow for that. Because as a country it's clear the culture of this country is majority right wing and a little fascist.

    Sexual Predators Highway would be a more fitting name for that stretch of highway, where the men around Epstein's circle of pedos passed through.


    As if President Donald J. Trump Avenue, President Donald J. Trump Boulevard, and President Donald J. Trump International Airport wasn't enough. All that ego stroking and butt kissing for one of the most morally decrepit, destructive, and untrustworthy Presidents to ever take office.

    The airport renaming alone will cost millions. What a waste of taxpayer money to stroke the ego of that narcissistic creep. They have to update, fabricate, and install all signage on roadways, terminals, parking areas, airfield locations, equipment, and vehicles. Then they have to update all branding elements such as logos, marks, and design standards for websites, mobile applications, social media, consumables, advertising, promotional items, uniforms, and related materials. Lapdog for a Loser is what Desantis is.

    Trump and his Press Secretary seem to talk about his vanity projects daily. It gets as old as him saying the war is almost over. He's said that 12 or 13 times in the past month. All this crap as the creep named thousands of times in the Epstein files continues to distract and protect himself and his buddies from the vile truth, and waste billions upon billions on his warmongering and power quests.



    Some of the comments..

    "They act like they're making big moves but literally nobody gives a d--- about the arch or ballroom n nobody wants it either... Just a waste of time & money," said one user on X, formerly Twitter.

    "Instead of wasting our money on an arch, why don't you spend it on something that actually benefits the people....like all the Social Security money that was robbed!" another person wrote.

    "When and where did we achieve this triumph? Asking for a vet," quipped a third person. Is this trolling or AI? This cannot be real," another user wrote.

    When you have a crazed clown running the administration that's what you get. We have a President who just decides who he thinks is smart, dumb, crazy, a DEI hire, or brilliant, high IQ, etc.. based on bias and how often they kiss his butt.

    Today, as usual, as we spend another billion or so on his war, our immature President posts this kind of stuff...

    It’s easy! Tucker is a Low IQ person - Always easy to beat, and highly overrated!!! So are Megyn Kelly, “Candace”(Really Dumb and mentally ill!), and Bankrupt Alex Jones, who is completely “fried.” There are others, also! Then we have some that are VERY GOOD, true MAGA all the way, and smart. I should do a list of good, bad, and somewhere in the middle. Wouldn’t that be fascinating??? President DJT

    So typical. He praises them when they are loyal to him and support him, and then they are labeled losers, mentally ill, low IQ, and overrated when they don't. The funny part is that those folks he is lashing out at ever supported that clown and con to begin with. They should have known better. He will never change.

    The fascinating part is that Americans voted this crazy and demented loon in to office to begin with, and the Republican Party has no spine or balls to stand up to him when they know he is doing something dangerous, destructive, illegal, or just plain inhumane and twisted.

    This is why energy policy is so important. Democrats, if left to their own wishes, would eliminate all oil & gas production in the USA -- like their liberal counterparts in Europe have essentially done. Through the promotion of fossil fuel production, Republicans have lowered costs and safeguarded the world from Russian/Islamic energy extortion. Democrat policies just don't work, amigos. Republicans have the long term vision to see why things are strategically important.



    GOOD DAY

    Not only the Republican Party goes along. As far as the war in Iran / Lebanon, or especially Israel.....all of our media is very circumspect, borderline propaganda. Really look at the coverage. You can see so much they just don't say, how they frame things. (War is good for viewership, of course.)

    Local media as well. The morning newscast (probably shows my age), always, "President Donald Trump." Has more of a reverential tone. Not just, "President Trump", which at least respects the office (even if DJT doesn't). Because the average viewer is older and white (skews conservative).
