  1. Referring to biden as someone who provides a calming influence is kinda like saying a burning trash pile provides comforting heat. The guy is a senile old coot who stood in front of that devil-like red background and called half the country a threat simply for disagreeing him. He talks about nuclear war like it's some kind of video game and looks for dead people in the audience. He shuts down energy production and prints more money than in a year than has been printed in 200 and then blames high prices at the pump and inflation on gas station owners and Putin. He is a cranky creepy old man who yells at anyone who disagrees with him and if you lived next door to him you wouldn't allow your kids or grandkids anywhere near him. He wanders around on stage after his speeches like he has no clue who or where he is and he has a press secretary who is more than half a moron and a cackling VP who is a total moron. 70% of the country believes we are headed in the wrong direction under this Bozo. Sorry, that's not exactly what I would call calming. The communists did well in the areas where their indoctrination over the past century has been effective. Those regions will never vote republican and are lost for all time. The republicans did run crap candidates but there's nothing new there. Trump contributed to the poor showing but most of the blame falls on the republican leadership. mcconnell is an evil old man who is still stealing cash at the age of 80. The last thing he wanted was a bunch of new senators who owed him nothing and might vote him to the back bench. He held the purse strings and funded candidates based on who would be personally loyal to him. As long as the turtle of the senate is in power nothing will change in that chamber. And he is the kind who will stay there until he's 90. Him and that chi-com wife of his have been bleeding the system dry for decades. They are pure greed on wheels yet the voters of Kentucky keep sending him back anyway. At this point they would be better off electing a democrat because no one will ever primary the old thief. And his boy in the house? mccarthy? He's been angling for that gig for twenty years and the half-a-commie out of Kalifornia finally got it by going down to Mar-Largo and kissing the ring. Trump would endorse Satan for speaker if he flattered him. Who else did Trump help elevate to a leadership position in he house? That stefanik chick out of NY who votes half the time with the democrats. Why? She made a speech defending Trump during that BS impeachment. Trump endorses squishy sell-outs like these weasels and faux conservatives like Oz, appoints christopher wray to run the FBI, appoints bill barr as AG, lets pence and fauci take over when COVID hit, but according to Trump-cult DeSantis is the establishment guy. I could run for office and get the guys endorsement if I kissed his ass hard enough and his cult would sing my praises. A week later, if I said Trump really lost in 2020 I would be the devil. But that is the state of the GOP in 2022. 35% of the base just want the rally's and the laughs, 25% are satisfied with mcconnell and mccarthy running things, and 40% get screwed by both factions. That is why the only party I hate more than the democrats are the republicans. We need a REAL third party in the worst way. The GOP needs to go the way of the party they bumped off, the Whigs. Only this time, we need to tell the squishes to get lost. That was the mistake they made in 1854 and we have been paying for it ever since. Trump will most likely get the nomination because at least 10+ candidates will run again the presidential primaries of 2024. Some, like haley and pompeo will do it to try and jockey their way to the VP slot. Some, like pence and hogan will try to raise their profile to get a gig on Fox News. Trump's hard-core base will let him win primary after primary with 30-35% of the vote and by the time the filed clears out DeSantis will be facing an uphill battle. Trump will prevail, make a run at Tulsi Gabbard for VP, who will string him along a while before turning him down, raising her profile in the effort, and Trump will look to Kristi Noem or Kim Reynolds as VP, leaving poor nicky to wonder why she's not the hot girl of the party anymore. She'll get the gig on Fox pence wanted. pence will go home and become a footnote in the annals of history, becoming the Hannibal Hamlin of the 21st Century. Then, Trump will rail, bash, rail, and bash some more and at the end of the day he will energize the marxist base enough to keep those margins within the area of cheating in swing states like PA, MI, AZ, and WI. They will count until they win and Trump will go back to Mar-Largo and start the I was cheated bit all over again. Meanwhile, we will be stuck with four more years of obama and yes we can. By 2028 it most likely won't matter who runs because the fundamental transformation that commie talked about implementing in 2008 will be so deeply entrenched it won't be able to be undone. It will be like going after a tic that has burrowed past the skin and made it into the central nervous system. I hope I'm wrong, but sometimes, ya just see it and it is so obvious you have to acknowledge it. I'll keep up the good fight, but the calming influence we all crave will kill us in the end. While we were all looking out for 1984 they slipped a Brave New World in on us. Shame on us for letting it happen. Get right with God. That's my advice, because at the end of the day, He is the one who will save you.

  5. Her parents are hard-core lefty ANTIFA types and they gave up their kid for the cause because they wanted to be in with the in-crowd. They do the same thing here in the U.S. with kids and guns. Every time there is a mass shooting the media will look around for kids to make their argument that gun grabbing is the solution. They do this because people are frightened as hell to criticize kids, especially kids who are perceived to have been damaged/scarred by an event. You know, just the sort of people you ought NOT to listen to? This little kid is learning the same lesson the kids over here learn when their usefulness as human shields has run its course. They are relegated to the backwater of whatever movement they happen to be a part of and eventually they sink to the bottom of said water. It's not just kids though. Does anyone remember Cindy Sheehan, the woman who lost her son in Iraq and became the face of "Bush lied and kids died"? Yeah, me neither. She served her purpose and was out on the street after that. At the end of the day, climate pimps like Al Gore do okay for themselves but everyone else becomes a useful, disposable idiot. It's a shame that the left frames everything as political and in order to be a member in good standing there are certain orthodoxy you must never question, climate change being at the top of the heap. They still see it as the best way to institute control and they are still going strong, just without the likes of the angry little kid from Sweden. How will it all end for her? Hard to say. But it will most likely be a tragic ending. Nobody likes being around a pissed off person who yells and fights windmills all the live long day. But what else is she to do? She wasn't the most stable kid when she came into the fight and it's all she knows. At the end of the day they will all ignore her, a fate worse than death to someone who was raised believing affirmation is what defines you.

  6. Pumping 300 billion into climate change BS. Remember when obama did it the first time around? Remember all the wonderful stuff that came out of that slush fund? All the benefits to society? How solar panels, windmills, and fart-reducing diet food for cows made the planet a better, safer place to live? 🤔Yeah, me neither. But you know what they say, if at first you don't succeed...Guess obama figured he didn't make enough for his buddies the first time round so what the hell, let's have a second go at it while the old coot's watching the store for his boss. And of course, tax the rich to bring down the deficit. Now they're selling it as a bone to conservatives? 🤔I'm confused. I thought conservatives were interested in policy that made sense. Time and again the data has shown that LOWERING taxes INCREASES revenue. Wanna cut the deficit? Stop spending money like a drunken sailor on shore leave. But we can't have that. The only thing the comunis...I mean democrats have accomplished is pushing more of this country over the cliff and pointing something out in no uncertain terms that are so clear even a moron (or Fox News diehard, but I digress) can understand. The republican party is chock-full of weak kneed sell-outs who stand for nothing and care for nothing beyond fundraising and what gig they might land when the voters finally get bored with them. And make no mistake. They are the only party who hates conservatives more than democrats. They hate them with a passion that burns brighter than the Sun because every couple years they are forced to lie to them. A pox on both their houses. I gave years of my life and probably knocked a few off defending this country for more than two decades. Now I wonder what the hell got in my head. But that's me.

  10. Well, the red wave turned out to be a red trickle. Want to learn some lessons from our mid-term election Australia? First, keep your promises. A lot of people who should have come out stayed home because republicans still have the stink of betraying their base on them. Second, fix any quirky election rules that favor one party over another. Third, look at the election through the lens of independent voters and run candidates that can actually win, not celebrity types or boot lickers that someone like Trump likes because they flatter him. Fourth, have a message that goes beyond I'm not a democrat and therefore I'm not crazy. Five, don't let pu**ies run your party. Find leaders who actually fight and inspire people. As for the rest, I have been on record saying biden was toast after the mid-terms but since the republicans have once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory biden may have gotten a reprieve. But no way he runs in 2024. kamala will run against buttafudge and some of the commie governors out there in the godforsaken hellscape that is blue America but get ready for the return of Gollum. The woman from Arkansas who's name shall not be uttered here is going to run. She will follow the precious unto the fires of Mount Doom. Those tricksy little Hobbitesses stole it from her and she wants it back. Grab some popcorn because when that old gasbag starts swinging at the mental lightweight playing the role of VP it will be funnier than hell to watch. kamala got where she is because she did what men told her. Gollum got where she did because she hates men. Should be a barnburner good for a more than a few laughs. Trump is running but his cult has shrunk in size and influence. He's out there painting Ron DeSantis as an establishment guy and his loyal Trump-cult is echoing their master's message but there are fewer of them and that message is falling flat. People know better and more republicans than ever have Trump-lag. I really thought he would wax DeSantis in a primary because of Fox News and Trump-cult but outside of Trump's butt-buddy hannity Fox is off the Trump train. Independents and democratic cross overs in Florida showed that Governor DeSantis can more than make up for the loss of Trump-cult so I think party bosses are going to be less afraid of the guy. Despite his delusional claims that every republican who won owed their seats to him the reality is a lot of Trump selected and Trump adjacent candidates lost races they should have won. Why? Because independent voters were reminded of Trump and either stayed home, voted democrat, or just left that bubble blank. If the republicans do run Trump in 2024 he will lose and he will lose well beyond the margin of cheating. Trump-cult is loud and cranky like their leader but their numbers have diminished. Trump will be 78 in 2024 and the American people are getting fed up with these old Boomers who just won't go away. We will be coming off four years of dementia-joe and replacing him with a lame duck grumpy old narcissist is not going to appeal to many people outside of MAGA world. That view may be unpopular but THAT lesson needs to be learned on this side of the Pacific and it needs to be learned quickly. My hope is Fox stops covering his rally's like they are some rock show and that sane republicans stay away. I am as far away from an establishment guy as you can get and I'm telling you so is Ron DeSantis. Trump-cult may paint him that way but that's only because they are mindlessly echoing their dear leader. If Trump told his cult followers that woman from Arkansas was on their side they would sing her praises. They will follow him off the cliff the same way cult members in the democratic party will follow them off the cliff. But Trump is playing his cards too early. His ego is out there trashing Governor DeSantis before the Governor has said what his plans are WRT to a run in 2024. All he has to do is remain quiet and let Trump show his ass while he alienates more people. I liked a lot of what Trump did as president, but when we really needed him, when that COVID BS started he gave the country over to pence and fauci. Why? Because he wasn't up to the job. That is a huge fail and a huge reason why I could never vote for him again. It's not a popular position, but it's mine and I own it.

  15. fauci gave the chi-coms the money to create that virus so of course he will defend them. Hey tony, you like em so much why don't you buy a retirement condo over there. If justice was still a thing in the U.S. you'd be up on charges. Maybe the chi-coms will give you a better deal. As for funding Ukraine, no one is stopping the European countries from sending that crooked regime all the cash they want. Hell, raise an army and fight the Russians if you think Putin is such a threat. As for me, and most of my fellow citizens, we've had enough. 90 billion is a pretty big chunk of change Doug. I think we've done our bit. If you want to give that comedian more cash to help him balance his budget and pay their government pensions, like I say, have at it. I'm sick and tired of paying for European social programs. If I was king for a day NATO and the U.N. would both find themselves where they belong, on the ash heap of history. Stalin has been dead for close to 70 years. I think the threat of the Bolshevik herds marching into Brussels and Paris is kinda diminished. Here's a thought, start defending your damn selves and get out of the habit of running to us every time some Ruskie starts saber rattling. Find a better way to heat your homes than Russian natural gas. I say this as someone who spent the better part of his adult life helping defend your deadbeat asses so I think I'm allowed to have an opinion on the matter. You want Putin out? Push em out. I could give two sh*ts. We've got terrorists and drug dealers pouring across our southern border like it's an open kegger down there and commies in our own government flushing our democracy down the crapper. That's enough to deal with as far as I'm concerned and yes, it takes priority over Ukraine, even Great Britain for that matter. How about this, you do you and we'll do us. The Cold War is over. We won. Get over it.

  18. Every time I see that Shuab character I think of Dr. Strangelove. I keep waiting for the extended arm and a good old Zieg Heil Mien Furher! The reason you can't just dismiss these fruitcakes though is they are legion, and they have a boatload of money. I look at them and think about what they are doing in eschatological terms but then I realize they are not bright enough to actually pull off Armageddon. Take a guy like Kerry. The only thing that makes him one of the "special people" is his ability to become whatever he needs to be at the moment and to marry well. That doesn't take a great deal of brain power. Besides, that Brahman accent of his is so especially annoying there is no way he's a world leader on anything except maybe spending too much of his wife's money on Botox and haircuts. And no one would have any clue who the hell Al Gore is if his daddy hadn't been a senator first. He only globed on to this climate nonsense because he saw no one else gave a shit. He framed it in a way these Bond villain's like though, a means to control people and get rich. The sad thing is, decent people who actually do care get roped into this BS. I'm not talking about the bartender and her little Twitter bot army, I'm talking about average Joe's who have had this crap pumped into their heads to the point they declare it to be settled science, which is an oxymoron but I digress. But when a patent thief like Bill Gates puts his money behind it the cult thrives. The bottom line is, these people shouldn't be dangerous but they are. I don't think they have the brains to breathe life into the Beast, Satan's wicked kingdom on Earth that will go to war with the Saints, but they are softening things up for the Antichrist who will. But, in the end, Satan will have people like them eating ze bugs for eternity. Zieg Heil that one Claus. Maybe you can get a spot next to Hitler and the two of you can talk about how you came this close in between having your flesh ripped apart and being burned forever.

  23. Fox News has been FOS for a long time. I stopped watching them after they let that moron Karl Rove run around on election night in 2012 with his little whiteboard in his hand screaming about how Romney still had a chance because of some backwater county in the ass end of Ohio when it was clear he was getting his ass whupped. As for making CNN a conservative outlet, good luck with that. The biggest favor Trump can do for CNN is run in 2024. They had their highest ratings ever when he ran, first by giving him all kinds of air time in accordance with Hillary's orders then by whipping up the left wing base by getting in a public pissing contest with the guy. Love him or hate him, Trump drives the ratings up. CNN is praying he runs and they'll get their wish. Fox will start out promoting Mike Pence or Nicki Hailey but at the end of the day they'll come around and get back on the Trump train. Unfortunately, I'm in the minority who thinks Trump will lose again because the turn out in the swing states if he runs will be high enough to keep them within the cheating window. Trump has the same effect on democratic voters that a full Moon has on werewolves. They'll get to make it about personality if they run against him and dems win the emotional tug-a-war every time. They'd have to defend that senile old coot's record if DeSantis ran but that won't happen. I'm afraid we are looking at obama's fourth term come 2025 and I'm not sure what will be left by the time 2028 roles around. God help us.

  30. The media has always been biased, going back to the early days of the republic. The problem in the 20th and 21st Centuries is the democrat party has had a virtual monopoly as far as that bias is concerned and with mediums like radio, television, and now the internet, more people get that one-sided message than they did prior to their existence. Guys like Cronkite and Murrow built up this myth of being impartial but if you check the record they were far more favorable to democrat politicians and hostile to republicans who failed to act as democrat lite. This didn't start with Trump and it's not going to end with him. They savaged George Bush and he was as milquetoast as you can get. Whoever runs on the republican ticket is going to be the devil and things have only gotten worse over time. Look who populates newsrooms across the country. Check the background of these on-air personalities. You will find deep roots to democrat politics, generational level. The NY Times, the supposed paper of record was printing fluff pieces on the USSR under Stalin. It doesn't get much harder left than that. Fox is no better. They are the mouthpiece for the RNC and outside of a few guys like Tucker and Dan Bongino they tow the party line. The reaction from the left is quite telling though. One station goes against the orthodoxy, one network has a different viewpoint and their collectivist heads explode. chuck schumer stands on the senate floor and declares Tucker Carlson a threat to democracy, an enemy of the state, demanding he be silenced and fired for doing actual journalism. Self-awareness is dead because the dems no longer feel they have to put on a charade. Years of left-wing indoctrination in the education system, the arts, and the mass-media has created a situation where brain dead lazy journalists of today just go on the air and parrot what their overlords at the DNC determines is the narrative for that moment in time. Don't take my word for it, listen to them. Listen to how they all use the same phrases and stay on message until directed to do otherwise. That's not journalism, that's propaganda. That's PRAVDA and TASS. The guy who blew smoke up their collective keister's when obama was cutting the Iranian nuclear deal admitted counting on the kids covering the story to be too lazy and stupid to properly fact check him. And when you point any of it out to someone who is a true believer you always get the same response: "Yeah but Fox..." One station out of all the cable and standard news outlets, that's the equivalence. And Fox doesn't even rock the boat, not on the big ticket items. Tucker's release of the January 6th tapes is the furthest they've gone and look at the freak out. Not only is schumer going full Himmler, his lackey mcconnell is out there carrying water for his partner in crime as well. Like I say, the media doesn't have a Trump problem, they have an integrity problem. But they don't see it as a problem at all so there ya go. It can't be fixed because the will to fix it isn't there, it never was and it never will be. Independent journalists are the only ones telling the truth, and how much air time do they get? Solzhenitsyn said the first step to resisting authoritarian rule is to not participate in the lie. But we no longer do that. We pick sides based on lies. But hey, at least we get to own the libs every now and then and our champions do sell a lot of books so we have that going for us. Yes we can indeed.

  32. I've never owned any Apple products simply out of choice and their recent support for the chi-coms, helping them oppress their people, ensures I never will. That Tim Cook character is the 21st Century version of Oswald Mosely, someone who would be more than willing to actively help a hostile power take control over here. As for Musk, I'm not really sure what his game is. I know he was tight with a lot of the lefties for a long time, especially obama, the guy who pumped a sh*t ton of money into Tesla back in its early days. He doesn't have that same history with anyone on the other side of the political spectrum but he seems to be at least tacitly supporting those who oppose the yes we can crowd. Is it just a troll? A rich guy getting a kick out of watching the left have one of their emotional meltdowns? Hard to say. But hats off to my Governor for calling Apple out for their BS. He's right as far as Congress stepping in and slapping antitrust charges against these tech giants. That includes all of them. It's also about time social media platforms and search engines like Google stopped getting protection as simple presenters of information. They pick winners and losers and it's time to make them liable for the damage they do to those who oppose their political agenda. That protection was provided more than 30 years ago when no one knew what the Internet would become. It's time to update the law to reflect the real world as it is in 2022. Way to go Ron. As always, you know what time it is and you know who needs to be targeted.

  34. The republican voters had a chance to run a young, charismatic conservative named Kathy Barnet against this addle-brained commie but they went with oz because Trump supported him and his boot licker hannity got all the mindless blue haired boomers who watch his show to vote for the clown. He trashed Mrs. Barnet and even got his buddy mark levin, a guy used to respect before Fox News bought his soul, to endorse the magnificent oz. doctor oz who was on record supporting mutilating kids in the name of transgenderism before it was even a real issue. doctor oz who called hillary clnton a genius and said he supported her health care plan 1000%. I'm not even sure why democrats are opposed to him, he's a democrat in all but name and will join the mitt romney wing of the senate on day one, backing commie policies just to screw conservatives. I wouldn't be surprised if he came out of the closet after he loses and admits he was a marxist plant all along. Sorry PA, you are getting what you deserve. Maybe next time you'll do your brain a favor and ignore what Trump has to say and turn that moron hannity off. Trump likes TV stars, especially if they kiss his ass. He'd endorse whoopi goldberg if she said nice things about him. As for hannity, that guy has been a dumbass his entire career. He uses high-school debating tactics when he's delivering his hard hitting interviews and is about as hard to get the better of as Wiley Coyote. As for PA, if the commies can keep the race within the margin of cheating they will send this cumquat to the senate and you have no one to blame but yourself. Good luck with that. Next time act like adults when you vote.

  39. Here's the thing though, American voters across the board have been so dumbed down by social and corporate media that they vote for a letter, R or D rather than the person running under said banner. The Somali queen and the rest of her marxist running buddies will be reelected by large margins because people running the republican party know they can't squeeze any money out of their districts. The only thing that annoys republicans more than elections is winning them. Democrats like to win because their base is full of modern-day political puritans but more in the tradition of Jim Jones and Uncle's Ho, Joe, and Mao, their version of the unholy trinity. Republicans like to fund-raise. The problem is, they're running out of stuff to fund-raise off of and will soon go the way of their spiritual grandfather's, the Whig party. But the democrats are hitting critical-mass and what sane people there are left over there are going to have to finally acknowledge that the party is now the party of obama and it has decided to die on the hill of sexual politics. The party demands lock-step compliance and if you don't buy the whole platform you get othered, sent to the virtual cornfield like the characters in the Twilight Zone episode. They are going to have to do one of three things: kick the commies out, join up lock-stock-and-barrel and go over the cliff with their marxist pals, or form a new party, most likely with people who are sick of being lied to by squishy republicans. The ones promoting hate for America on the 4th of July are irredeemable. They have bought obama's yes we can fundamental transformation line completely and nothing but the complete and total obliteration of the USA and all of it's traditions and cultural norms will suffice. That is a harsh assessment but if you have a better option let me know. I'd really like to hear it because as someone who came here legally, became a citizen, and served defending the place for more than 20 years I'd really like to know how these two diametrically opposed cultures can exist under the same roof.

  49. You aren't going to see violence in the streets over Donald Trump. The entire thing is a staged event from stem-to-stern. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it was prearranged by every party involved, especially the media since everyone benefits. This low-level DA gets to raise his profile, Trump gets his photo-op and gets to fund raise off it. He also gets to call his opponents who don't sufficiently kiss the ring names. The media gets a bunch of viewers who are more interested in the show than what actually matters, lifting their numbers to at least pond-scum level. And Congress? Well, they get to do what they do best bloviate and maybe even run an investigation that will result in a huge nothing burger, their specialty. The whole thing is reality TV, nothing more, nothing less. It will generate a few headlines then sit dormant until the Iowa Caucus when, during the first debate, some Trump-Cult moderator will ask DeSantis why he didn't lay down in front of a tank for Cheeto Jesus as Nikki Haley jumps up and down saying she would thrown a high heel at the commies. Forgetting of course that Trump went in willingly. BTW, Clinton lied to a grand jury, not Congress. Lying to Congress isn't even an impeachable offense to the bozo's running things on this side of the pond. As for calling biden the worst president in history, hate to burst your bubble on that one too but he's not president. Someone else is pointing that senile old man around and he gets his marching orders from obama. If you honestly believe that guy runs anything I've got a nice piece of land to sell you, right down the street. It's covered by 10 feet of water but it is still a prime location. And yes, if the U.S. goes down that's it for the West, at least as it has been since the end of WWII. Maybe Europe coalesces and gets cozy with the chi-coms and Putin. But you better believe they won't be the senior partner in that little arrangement. But don't worry, I'm sure it will all turn out fine.

  50. That bitcoin guy conned the left the same way blm conned the left, by appealing to their emotions. blm even went so far as to come straight out and admit their leaders were trained marxist agitators and if you looked at their website they were way more interested in promoting the rainbow jihad than they were in helping black people. But, they had a nifty title and they had the media 100% in the bag for them. You even had blm crap stenciled on baseball diamonds in MLB ballparks. That little fat kid just saw how stupid cult members are and took advantage of it. Not much skill required for that shell game. It's kinda like playing keep away with a 3 month old pup. As for Trump, he's gonna run and his cult is going to be just as loud, mean-spirited, and cranky as their dear leader is. But there are fewer of them now and his ego is already submarining his chances in 2024. People have Trump-lag, especially independent voters, and one thing the red trickle did was save biden. If that wave had taken place the party would have had justification for giving him the axe but now he will more than likely get to finish obama's third term. It should be fun watching that brain dead VP who got where she is because like peanut butter she is easy to spread going up against the woman from Arkansas who's name shall not be uttered here in the primaries. Gollum isn't done chasing the precious, not by a long shot. She'll be back and gassier and nastier than ever. And all of that will work against Trump. Trump will be 78. The country will have gone through two more years of a nasty old man in the WH and Gollum will remind people that these boomers who will not relinquish power have got to go. Ron DeSantis can more than make up the loss of the die-hard Trumpers by brining along independents and cross over democrats who are sick of the groomers coming after their kids as they pay $6.00 for a gallon of gasoline and pay $600 each month to heat their homes in the winter. Trump will make a lot of noise, probably show up on CNN and MSNCB bashing the republican party and whoever beat him in the primary but at the end of the day he won't run any kind of meaningful third party challenge. He won't be able to afford it and no one will back him financially. He'll be busy paying court costs to fight his political enemies in NY who aren't going away. I think Trump did a very good job prior to COVID. I think what the left has done to him and is doing is disgusting and represents the real threat to democracy. I also think they swiped the election from him 2020. But I also think his time has come and gone and the country needs a younger man who has proven he can govern effectively. It's time to end cult-of-personality-reality-TV politics and let younger more capable people who love this country every bit as much as Trump take a crack at fixing it. I see comments linking DeSantis to Bush, Cheney, mcconnell, the chamber of commerce, blah, blah, blah, blah. This all runs 100% contrary to the evidence but it doesn't matter to the Trump cult. They do what their dear leader tells them and if he says Ron DeSantis is a squishy republican that's good enough for them. But I believe their numbers are much smaller than they were in 2016 and 2020 and as Trump continues to attack all threats, real or imagined, in his paranoid egotistical fashion he will lose more and more support. I watched the election coverage on Blaze TV and he called in and gave an interview with Glenn Beck. That was the first time I had heard him speak in a while and I gotta say, his narcissism was on full display and his shtick has not gotten better with age. He told Jason Whitlock how much he liked him because Whitlock made some complimentary remarks about him just before he came on but he had no idea who Whitlock was. I'm sure I've heard you somewhere before, was all he said. But I bet he would have endorsed Whitlock for the senate if Whitlock said the same thing at some rally in a half empty parking lot. I doubt anyone will read my little rant but I'm willing to bet if some die-hard Trumper does they will accuse me of being a mcconnell, bush, cheney guy and worse. For the record, I go back a long way with the conservative movement. I thought LBJ was an idiot, Nixon was a snake, Ford was a wimp, and I was a long-haired club musician who voted for Reagan twice. I never liked either bush and spent too many Christmas's away from home fighting wars those two got us into. I think rumsfeld and cheney should be tried for crimes against humanity and yes, I voted for Trump when he ran last time. But that was because he earned my vote. Like I say, he did a good job, but it's time to move past him. He'll run, he'll call Ron DeSantis all kinds of names based on nothing more than his paranoid egomaniacal cranky old nature but the Governor is strong enough to handle it. I believe, as Douglas Murray pointed out, the red trickle was the best thing that could have happened. It stirred up the wrath against the right people, namely mcconnell and his house lackey mccarthy, and took the sheen off Trump. I know he is taking credit for every republican win everywhere for every job from postmaster to dog catcher but like it was with Whitlock I doubt he could tell you most of the winning republican names. He only remembers the ones who, in his mind, have betrayed him by failing to kiss hiss ass 24/7. Sorry, he owns Oz and Walker, and a lot of other candidates who were even Trump adjacent outside of MAGA world. People are fed up with both sides and the petty squabbles of boomers and if the republicans are smart they will find someone other than mccarthy for Speaker and look at the next election through the lens of the voters who will matter, independents. Facts are stubborn things and the facts are Trump does not play well beyond his base. If they run him in 2024 they will lose and obama will get to put his finishing touches on his fundamental transformation of America from a once great republic into a submissive sh*thole ready to be taken over by the WEF and the great reset. THAT is the real threat to our democracy, not the chamber of flipping commerce. Go ahead, attack me if you will, but that is life in the world of the way things are.
