Lol, so buying Greenland will lower the price of eggs.
Sophomoric quips and emotional rambling don’t look good on you.

Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you.  But Trump supporters continue to ignore facts and claim anything that isn’t in line with Trump is fake news.  It is truly baffling how he has such a stronghold over people.  He is unkind, not well spoken, not well educated, lies constantly, talks only about himself, paints himself as a victim even when he isn’t.  After 8+ years of this garbage, I can’t play nice anymore.  Get a decent human running for GOP - that’s fine.  But this is bonkers.
Big shocker, a lot of federal bloat needs to go. Perhaps this includes your husbands job. Oh well.

I had to endure 10+ years of lazy federal workers who should have and would have been cut at any normal private corporation. Sorry, my crocodile tears have run dry. I have a particular disdain for a large percentage of government workers. 

Yes yes TOTALLY believable that you are a “moderate”…lol nice try. Your hyperbolic comments are akin to the emotional unhinged rants on “The View”.

Trump took back the party from turncoat neocons and Warhawk's that should have died out in the Bush era.

Duneranger, you are what is wrong with our society.   I don’t watch the View. I’m not into talk shows.  My husband is not a lazy federal worker.  His job is physical, demanding, long hours, and short staffed.  So go kick rocks. 

Now let’s talk about how the Defense Intelligence Agency has sent out a memo that they won’t be observing any holidays that have to do with Blacks, women, Asians, Hispanic, or anything else that’s not about white men.  Or the hate crimes against Puerto Rican businesses in Idaho, or Hegseth retailiating against Retired general Mike Milley just because he wasn’t Trumps lap dog.   This is all hateful actions by a little man who has to put others down in order to build himself up.  If Trump were doing this as a democrat, I’d be saying the same thing.  I’m not a politician apologist.  I don’t idolize or worship politicians.  When they are horrible people, it doesn’t matter what side they are on.  Trump is a danger to our entire nation.  And anyone who can’t see that is a fool.

You don’t have to watch talk shows to parrot the same lame and worn out hyperbolic talking points.

lol of course you’d say that. No one is going to say their husband is lazy or their isn’t important. Totally an unbiased take right?

Miley is a politician with his own interests. He lost the servant leader touch decades ago, most generals do. I could care less honestly. I was in the military for years and saw many, what is your experience with generals with a political agenda?

Literally who cares about DEI holidays which add nothing to productivity or efficiency in government. Is that seriously your attempt at a salient point? More days off for lazy government workers? Those who already have how many government holidays? Thanks for proving my point. Word salad bleating as you demonstrated is not going to change hearts and minds. He says mean things as some gotcha got old in 2017. But I suppose you are someone who thought Kamala was competent right? lol….

No, you and people who think like you are handicapping our nation.

What do you call a talk show host with a history of hyperbolic comments and struggles with self-control?

Men are idiots because when they believe in something, they can believe so strongly that they can feel it coursing through their veins.

They believe so strongly that they risk everything for that belief, including their own lives. This goes against the biological drive of self-preservation.

I get the feeling that Trump is a bit like Paul von Hindenburg in 1933 who thought he could control Hitler. Trump thinks he can control Vance, Musk, and the techno/crypto-fascists. Trump is signing executive orders about straws while Musk is collecting the largest and most valuable dataset in history. He now knows just about anything worth knowing about the financial, health, and personal lives of hundreds of millions of people. In all likelihood he knows who all of our spies are, who all of the double agents working on America’s behalf are, and what levers to push to manipulate the economy any way he chooses. He is the most powerful person in the world and Trump is concerned with trans kids not being able to play youth soccer. Trump handed the keys to the kingdom to Musk and he doesn’t seem to have the foggiest idea.

What throws people off is their difficulty in distinguishing between a troll, a mere idea, and actual policy when Trump speaks.

In this context, Vance serves as more of a spokesman for Trump—he’s the one who clearly articulates Trump’s policies.

“Musk Derangement Syndrome” is a new phenomenon, and auditing the government is a very popular idea. I also see the media engaging in significant fearmongering regarding this issue.

Why is Trump winning? Trump’s success can be attributed to a simple concept: populism. He consistently aligns himself with the popular sentiments of voters—a strategy that all politicians in office would do well to note.

Again, you can shoot the messenger—I’m simply reporting the news.

What are my politics, you ask?

Huh.  People in a right-wing echo chamber blindly do what they are told.  I'm shocked.  Shocked, I say.
