Is there truly such a thing as a Republican or Democrat?
Donald Trump himself was a registered Democrat for years. until he decided to run and challenge the system. The same pattern played out within the GOP. In 2016
and again in 2020, nearly every congressional Republican attacked Trump, called him dangerous, and warned he would destroy the party. Then came the momentum. The crowds. The inevitable nomination. Suddenly, they all “fell in line” not out of conviction, but out of political survival.
We saw the same behavior more recently: applause and praise when it was safe, empty promises afterward, and betrayal when it came time to actually cut waste or
challenge entrenched interests. This isn’t a party divided by ideology; it’s uniparty theater. One wing pretends to oppose the swamp while quietly protecting it.
The labels are just costumes.
Real change only happens when we stop falling for the performance and start demanding results, or primary the actors who keep reading from the same script.
Trump built much of his foreign policy appeal by fiercely opposing “endless wars,” “nation-building,” and regime-change operations. He repeatedly blamed prior
administrations; both Republican and Democrat for wasting American lives and trillions of dollars while creating chaos abroad. He called the Iraq War a “big, fat
mistake” and described regime change in Iraq, Libya, and Syria as “proven, absolute failures.”
He promised: “We will stop racing to topple foreign regimes that we know nothing about and should not be involved with.” He attacked Biden for supporting regime
change across the Middle East, pledged to fire warmongers, selected a vice president openly skeptical of foreign interventions, and framed himself as an anti-
interventionist “peace president” who would end forever wars.
And yet here we are.
Remember how the left and the media smeared the right as “conspiracy theorists” and “anti-vaxxers” for questioning COVID origins, lockdowns, and vaccine
mandates? People were censored, “deplatformed", and labeled threats to society simply for demanding transparency and evidence.
Fast-forward to today. When voices on the right begin questioning endless foreign entanglements, whether it’s bureaucratic overreach at home or regime-change
operations abroad that echo failed neocon policies, they’re branded “grifters,”“black-pillers,” or “RINOs” by their OWN establishment. Same playbook.
Shut down debate. Enforce groupthink. Protect the status quo.
This was never about left vs. right. It’s about power vs. principle.
True conservatives question authority. Especially when it smells like more endless wars or unchecked bureaucracy. If we can’t tolerate internal scrutiny without resorting to smears, we’re no better than the COVID authoritarians we once opposed.
Kettle & Pot.
Debate ideas. Don’t demonize dissent. America First means thinking for ourselves.
Stop blaming the “radical left lunatics” for everything. The uncomfortable truth is that both sides are failing the country; the left with open borders and cultural
insanity, and elements of the right reviving neocon fantasies of regime change, endless wars, and foreign entanglements we were promised would end.
America First was supposed to mean no more nation-building, no more trillion-dollar wars abroad while our borders collapse and families struggle at home.
Instead, we’re watching the same Bush-era logic reemerge under new branding; foreign interventions, escalations, and power plays that ignore the lessons of the last 20 years.
As long as they keep us fighting each other in left-vs-right theater, we miss the real threat: insiders on both sides protecting the swamp, ignoring accountability,
ballooning the debt, and prioritizing foreign interests over American security and prosperity.
True patriots question authority regardless of party. If we’re serious about draining the swamp, we stop falling for manufactured division and demand real results:
secure borders, fiscal sanity, and peace through strength; not more regime-change quagmires.
Wake up, Americans. The uniparty doesn’t care which team wins as long as the grift continues.
Principles over labels. Results over rhetoric.

Anyone in the Republican Party who wants a future in politics should stay far away from this dumpster fire. They’re only digging themselves into a deeper hole. Every time Trump or Hegseth steps in front of a microphone, there’s a brand new “strategy of the day.”
There is no coherent long term plan here. Just constant improvisation.
Pete Hegseth is the epitome of a weekend-warrior gym bro, the kind who will never earn the love and favor Trump reserves for his favorite son, Marco Rubio. Every time Hegseth speaks, I can’t help but think of the movie Gladiator: Emperor Marcus Aurelius deeply respected the honorable general Maximus for his competence and loyalty, yet he could never fully embrace his own flawed son Commodus, whose insecurities made him dangerous. Rubio is the favored heir, while Hegseth remains the outsider, forever chasing the approval he’ll never truly get.
Ron DeSantis should stay in Florida, finish strong as governor, and wait for the system to burn down. Only then can he re-enter the national stage; untarnished, with his values intact and ready to lead whatever remains of the party.
@SenFettermanPA@Grok how many days remain until Pennsylvania's electorate can retire this excremental specimen of selective principle from the United States Senate?
In 2015, the JCPOA the so called “original deal” required Iran to cap uranium enrichment at 3.67%, limit its stockpile and centrifuges, and submit to regular IAEA inspections. In return, it received sanctions relief. Iran also continued to observe its Supreme Leader’s fatwa against nuclear weapons, in place since 2004.
Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018, branding it a “horrible, one-sided deal” because of its sunset clauses and failure to cover missiles or proxies. He vowed to deliver a “better deal” through maximum pressure.
Eight years later, that better deal had still not materialized; quite the surprise from the man who once declared,
“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”
By early 2026, Iran reportedly agreed to zero stockpiling of enriched uranium; never accumulating bomb capable material, along with diminishing existing stockpiles and full IAEA verification. Mediators described it as a breakthrough, stronger on the “no nuclear weapon” front than the original JCPOA.
Trump’s initial red line had been simple: no nuclear weapons. A position Iran appeared ready to accept. Then the red line shifted to no enrichment whatsoever on Iranian soil. And it has continued shifting every time the president stands in front of a microphone.
While the U.S. has long accused Iran of operating in bad faith due to post 2018 violations, critics quietly note the irony: real movement toward a no weapons outcome emerged in talks, yet the goalposts moved anyway, and military strikes followed despite mediator optimism.
Pre strike, the focus was primarily the nuclear threat and closing the diplomatic gap. Then it became regime change; until the key figures were eliminated, leaving no one to negotiate with. Objectives later expanded to destroying missile production, degrading the navy, ending proxy support, and applying broader infrastructure pressure.
The number of stated goals fluctuated between three, four, or five, depending on the official and the day of the week.
In the end, the 2015 framework was abandoned in pursuit of a superior deal that never quite appeared. Pre strike concessions were derailed by ever-changing demands.
Truly, the kettle calling the pot black.
@PeteHegseth Appreciate the update, Pete. Just a friendly reminder that in exactly 2 years, 9 months, and 24 days, every single one of you unethical pieces of shit will be held accountable for every death and every bit of destruction you've caused. Can't wait for the receipts
Thanks MicroMark. I was not aware about this 2.5hr masterpiece featuring an "unknown comic" until your generous public service announcement. Truly, can't wait to watch and hear about America's glorious endless wars, the flawless and unquestionable WWII narrative, and how we desperately need even more unconditional aid and influence from the Israel lobby.
Psychopath = Someone who has done a complete 180 on all of his views. He’s all over the place. Someone who has changed their complete perspective. A Bought/Paid Shill.'
Got it. Applying her definition to Trump:
Immigration
2024: “Largest deportation operation in history.”
2026: Lowest formal deportations vs. Obama/Biden peaks.
Foreign Policy
2024: America First, no new wars, end Ukraine in 24 hours.
2026: Maduro captured in Venezuela, fighting Iran, Ukraine at ~36k hours. Steady as a rock.
Economy
2024: Crush inflation, cut costs in half.
2026: Electricity up 7-10%, groceries higher. Gas at the highest since 2022? Bidenomics working great.
Tariffs
2024: Aggressive 60%+ on China.
2026: Rolled out, then paused and walked back.
Trump on Iran negotiations: “We negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up.” He says Iran wants a deal badly but terms aren’t good enough; while threatening to obliterate their infrastructure if talks fail. Classic all-over-the-place behavior.
And don’t forget the 2011 classic: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”
Oh, and $285M from the Adelson family (2020-2024). Bought/paid shill indeed.
Her definition. His record. Fascinating how the standard only applies one way."
@Jackbmeyer One caveat to all creatine users/potential users;
@grok Which two countries produce Creatine?
Provide context for creapure and creavitalis and a list of U.S brands which source their creatine from Germany
@nick_matau You’re the top mechanic at Dominic Toretto's shop and you spot a car with turbo, nitrous, race suspension, and all the mods.
“This RX7 is built to smoke any speed limit in seconds.”
Dom loops in his buddy @joekent16jan19, the precinct lead detective with wiretaps, garage cams, informants, full surveillance, and the hidden playbook. He says “Yeah, it could be used for illegal street racing, but we’ve got zero evidence it’s actually being driven that way right now. No active racing ring. No orders to hit the track illegally, no test runs caught, no crew gearing up for it.
Do we arrest based on capability or on confirmed intent/activity?
U.S. Republican voters on the 2003 Iraq War
Support level within base: 83–90%+ approval
Negative outcome: Launched on false WMD intelligence; cost trillions of dollars, thousands of American lives, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi deaths; created power vacuum that fueled ISIS and long-term regional instability.
U.S. Republican voters on post-9/11 “enhanced interrogation” (torture)
Support level within base: 82% said it could be justified some or all of the time
Negative outcome: Proven ineffective at producing reliable intelligence; violated U.S. and international law; severely damaged America’s global moral standing and credibility.
American public (wartime patriotic base) on Japanese American internment (1942)
Support level within base: 93% supported removal of non-citizens (59% even for U.S. citizens of Japanese descent)
Negative outcome: Unjust mass imprisonment of ~120,000 people with no evidence of disloyalty; major civil-liberties violation; later official U.S. apology and reparations payments.
Core “Leave” voters in the UK on Brexit (2016 onward) Support level within base: 80–90%+ continued to say it was the right decision
Negative outcome: Caused years of economic disruption, trade barriers, supply shortages, political chaos; majority of UK public now regrets it and views it as damaging to the economy and living standards.
Chavista core supporters in Venezuela on Hugo Chávez’s socialist economic policies (2000s)
Support level within base: 80%+ approval for nationalizations, price controls, and “21st-century socialism”
Negative outcome: Led to economic collapse, hyperinflation (reaching millions of percent), widespread shortages of food and medicine; triggered massive humanitarian crisis and exodus of millions of citizens.
Just to name a few historical events, which at the time received undying support.
Maybe, just maybe @joekent16jan19 Does not want to be a part of those statistics.
@PeterSchiff Sir, I think Stephen Miller misspoke slightly. What he actually meant was if we get rid of all the fraud by illegal aliens, we can finally balance the budget..... to cover for all the fraud-related pardons My Liege has already handed out and the ones still queued up for his loyal friends.
Because nothing says 'fiscal responsibility' like wiping out nearly $2 billion in court-ordered restitution for victims and taxpayers (Medicare fraud, securities scams, tax evasion) while lecturing everyone else about cutting waste. Priorities, amirite? 💸📷
