The rhetoric at GOP rallies, and in GOP statements, reeks of desperation. Vance should really take stock of the commandments he professes to follow, particularly #9. He really seems to avoid that one like it doesn't exist.

2024, Vance tells the country that Haitian immigrants are eating pets. 2026, Vance and tRump tell the country that immigrants are burning France. Someone's fixated on immigrants, and lying.

Vivek's attack ad in OH against Anton is despicable, as is POTUS's reaction to and use of it. Add to that that when asked, POTUS said he knows nothing about it, but thinks it's "solid gold" to use that ad.

POTUS endorses an attack ad against Anton in OH. Later, when asked about the endorsement on the WH lawn, the first words out of his mouth are, "Well, I know nothing about it."

Let's see if I have this right... tRump accuses Ukraine of starting 'the war', calls for a new Ukrainian president, and restricts StarShield. EU talks about reducing dependence on StarLink, and the admin threatens them with sanctions. Have I got that right?

Joey Amor, husband of deceased soldier MSgt Nicole Amor, killed in a drone strike on 1 Mar, asked Vance about accountability yesterday. Vance said that this was the first he was hearing of it.

Trump states, twice, that Russia & Ukraine have reached a cease-fire agreement, even tho in both cases, neither was actually true. Now, they're applying restrictions to StarShield, effectively hamstringing the Ukraine. You don't put in the work & can't get what you want, so you sweep the leg?

Vance's comments directed at Talarico show desperation. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro... This from the same guy who stated publicly that Haitian immigrants in OH were eating people's pets. Why does this guy hold *any* public office?

Vance commenting on what he thinks might be Talarico's browser search history is just...disgusting.

In '93, a STU-III encryptable phone showed up in a local mil surplus shop. My Company CO called me to his office and asked if we had any on our TO. I said, "no, sir". He asked, "are you sure?" Mass polygraphs in the Pentagon just means that we still do "chicken sh*t".

Why is this even a thing, using our taxpayer $$??? www.whitehouse.gov/arcade/

Duffy says Canada doesn't have a military. So, that sniper shot in Iraq going 3.540Km/2.2 miles was...what?

So, we're back to using "...without evidence..." to describe vaccines again?

Even during the campaign, we saw outlandish claims, and "without evidence" became something that was simply assumed. And it still continues... www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

After watching Rand at a Senate committee meeting this morning, I, too, have contempt for Congress.

After everything the GOP Congress has allowed POTUS to do (tariffs, war, etc.), why *would* Blanche be where they draw the line? Nov is going to be yet another round of, "...I'm not voting *for* someone, I'm voting *against* someone..."

Cornyn, Tillis... That's it. That's the post.

If there's any form of an 'anti-weaponization fund', any form at all, then Hearn gots to get paid!

Has anyone noticed that Trump is still hung up on the "Iran won't have a nuclear weapon" thing, when Gabbard's written testimony and Joe Kent's own words were that they weren't even close? Of those three names, who's gone?

Panetta laid out for everyone why the Administration is in the pickle they're in. When negotiating something like this, you don't do it thru proxies. You have someone on your side who knows the language, knows the nuances, and can speak to the other side, face to face. You, like with the JCPAO.

Blowing up boats and killing people didn't stop the flow of cocaine, per the DEA. Threats against civilian infrastructure in Iran. Threats against Greenland. Is it any wonder Rubio spent so much time talking about dismantling the ICC??

Pirro claimed, w/o evidence, that Hearn vandalized the reflecting pool. Gabbard claimed, w/o evidence, that Pretti "brandished" a weapon, and went to the rally to kill. Claims were made against Good. Homan made claims, re: ICE in Maine, admittedly w/o watching 1 of the videos. Notice a pattern?

Is anyone taking bets on what "emergency" is going to be concocted in order to cancel the midterm elections?

There're more than a few open intel sources for what's going down ahead of the midterm elections. Look at betting on PolyMarket and other prediction markets, and look at stock sales/purchases by those around POTUS.

File this one under, "you cannot make this stuff up" AND "the jokes just write themselves"... www.thedailybeast.com/maga-aide-ac...

What's the over-under on PolyMarket for the contrived "emergency" Trump's going to concoct to cancel the mid-term elections? With the admin going after whistleblowers, is anyone watching stock purchase/sales, predictive/betting markets, etc?

Canada deployed resources to assist the US during wildfires. The US response is to threaten tariffs and sanctions when Canada has their own. WTF???

Seriously? thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Growing up in the early '80s, my GI Joe action figures may have had beards, but none of them had hair on their knuckles. Should we have been concerned about low T then, too, Sec. H?

POTUS imposes tariffs, w/o the consent of Congress (and they allow it). Who pays? You and me. POTUS has to repay $81B...with a "B"...in tariff refunds. Where does *that* $$ come from? <checks wallet> Oh, yeah...

He's doing with elections what he did with Iran...it's his playbook. He tore up JCPAO for no reason, then claimed a manufactured "emergency" to "justify" starting a war. Unlike the GOP Congress on tariffs, the war, etc, Iran pushes back. He's already claimed the elections were rigged.

Reading commentary on POTUS's comments in Turkey, seeing references to cutting off trade with Spain. Commentary says something about POTUS not having the authority. Bruh, where've you been for the past 19 months?

So what do you do when you can't get your way with Iran? You pardon soccer players, of course! Because the true definition of power to wield it everywhere you can, all the time...

I played soccer from elem thru high school. I also ref'd matches to make $. To know that POTUS can call up the folks who gave him the "FIFA Peace Prize" and overturn a red card is 🤦

Words have power. For Giuliani, $148M for defamation. For Trump, $5M, including defamation.

This tells you all you need to know about Vance, and the current administration. This is only a crazy idea because the GOP Congress has abdicated their responsibilities, and federal judges are regularly ignored without consequence.

Talks with Iran need mediators bc you've got Vance standing there in front of them, and tRump threatening them over social media, saying they might not have a country to go back to. Who does that?

tRump blasted Obama for agreeing to unfreeze $1.7B in frozen assets. Then he agrees to unfreeze $24B, put another $300B toward reconstruction, and waived sanctions, allowing Iran to sell oil. How is that NOT a step back, and how is it NOT worse than the JCPAO?

Can someone let Vance know that the JCPAO had inspections, and inspections were going on until the bombing in June 2025 (a year ago)? His whole, "...if I _feel_ it's true, it's true..." didn't work with Haitian immigrants, and it doesn't work with nuclear inspections in Iran.

The Reflecting Pool serves as a metaphor for the current administration. Create a problem by blaming predecessors/others, massive cost overruns, announce "arrests" and other stuff with no evidence, declare massive victory for a clearly epic failure.

MOU with Iran "reaffirms" that it will not develop/procure a nuclear weapon. "Reaffirms", saying, "...what we said in the JCPAO, which you/Trump, tore up...". Americans should be asking, why are we here? History tells us.

JCPAO included $1.7B in unfrozen Iranian funds, and Trump blasted Obama for giving Iran "billions". Current numbers - $24B in unfrozen assets, another $300B to rebuild. The irony is strong with this one. Iran came out stronger in the end than when the "war/not a war" started.

MOU with Iran refers to "the current war". Congress was bypassed because it wasn't a "war". Looks like Trump signed the receipt on this one.

Saying something is a "triumph", the "greatest deal ever", without actually showing it to the people you're telling The Art of the Deal
