Classic Republican playbook. Same shit over and over again for decades now… everything bad is a Democrat’s fault and everything good is to their credit. And their chumps enthusiastically believe that, literally. It’s much like a narcissistic personality disorder person in a relationship. Can’t admit fault, weakness, apologize, very hypocritical, so on
Oh my gosh. How dare they?
Kind of like how they attempt to discredit Europe’s extremely reasonable concerns about Russia (conswidering they’ve been bombing the shit out of ukraine for a couple of years?) starting a war by calling it a “fantasy”?

We get a similar dynamic in the US media, even supposed ‘liberal’ media. People blame Democrats for the awful things republicans do because they didn’t stop them. Republicans are rarely blamed for being the ones who wanted to do the horrible things in the first place. Definitely a victim blaming, absuive narcissist dynamic.
According to republicans, Ukraine doing anything other than bending over and taking it is illegitimate and totally their fault. Makes sense for a party who elected Trump twice.
In my experience, people are generally unaware of current events and history. They don’t understand basic math. They are very poor at critical reasoning and don’t comprehend things like evidence or facts, so they’re easily convinced by hunches or baseless claims prominent people make.
He didn’t bother putting his hand on the Bible. Not that I care, but you’d think his “omg christian patriot doggy mommy” followers would say something.
Trump did an interview with Goldberg? After the Signal thing? I’m surprised. Maybe he doesn’t remember.
“I love my Hispanics!”
Sure, he’s done. He destroyed agencies which regulate him or against which he had a grudge, fucked up regulation and the social safety net, arranged other things to make rich people money, compromised personal data for basically everyone and helped his buddy Putin. Why stick around?

As long as we’re here I’ll also mention how this degenerate cretin also insisted on using his own private Android phone rather than one issued by the government. I’d say it’s 100% certain his phones have been hacked as shit for at least 10 years.
Not surprising considering the velveeta treason weasel himself is the type of clueless boomer who says things like his son is “very good with the cyber” and “everything is computer”. I highly doubt he could power his phone off without help.
If Trump’s goal was really to bolster domestic manufacturing and other industries, I support that. The way he’s going about tariffs has been incredibly dumb though. One, he seems to think it’s a way to punish a country. It’s not clear why he’s picking the biggest fights with our allies, either. Claiming it’s about fentanyl and migrants is absurd. Then also, the admin has regularly lied about who pays tariffs and how they work. Trump also says incredibly stupid things like “once we have hundreds of billions in tariffs coming in, we’re going to be so rich”.
And if he really wanted to encourage people to switch to domestic production, introducing them gradually would make more sense to give companies time to build factories and whatnot. But also they’re not going to make investments with no guarantee that the tariffs will be around d in 5 years. Also, there are some products that simply can’t be produced in the US because we don’t have the resources - why tax those? Such as fertilizers and lumber from canada? What’s the point? Why not just selectively tariff things for industries he wants to promote?
So in real life it seems Trump is just harming consumers, picking fights with our allies, regressive shifting tax burdens, and wrecking the economy. Hmm.
Huh, that’s what a pick me is? I hadn’t understood that previously. I thought it was someone who tried to suck up and pander to people, so I guess about the opposite.
Anyway, I get pretty annoyed at people like that. I’ve had friends who do the opposite, where they’re engaged and silly and energetic one-on-one, then when they get around other people, go into “cool mode” where they’re low key, low energy, and sorta negative about me.
I use it for almost everything. I only resort to Google if I can’t find what I’m looking for, which is rare and typically it’s something obscure. Google has also steadily made their service worse over the years. I don’t feel like I am missing much.
Okay, cool. You filtered it. People post and participate in those discussions because they want to for some reason. I you have something you’d prefer to discuss, go ahead and start a conversation.
With Republicans in charge of both chambers of even one, there’s zero chance.
Republicans regularly crash the economy. Then they get to bailouts (and select the winners or losers for that), and buy up assets cheap. The way the population has been convinced, against all evidence, that republicans are better economically and fiscally is a triumph of their propaganda.
Right. It is bizarre, but certainly not surprising or unusual. Just the same deranged playbook where everything bad is the previous administration’s fault.
