Quite the blast from the past:

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

It was gas prices.
It was the war.
It was also the corruption.
The incompetence.
The tariffs.
The playing nice with Russia.
The impression of cruelty.
The overly aggressive deportations.
The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic.
The arrogance.
The ballroom.
The reflecting poll.
The golf courses.
The arch.
The Qatari 747.
The aggressive redistricting push.
The threats against enemies.

[Shermichael Singleton @MrShermichael]

At some point, we have to start living in reality.

The president is incredibly unpopular. The war in Iran has raised gas prices through the roof, and diesel prices are hurting many of our voters who live in rural America. The Argentinian beef deal hurt many of our cattle farmers, and the tariffs lasted far too long.

Couple all of those things with terrible candidates who the president did select, and this is the result. It is what it is, but let’s not pretend reality doesn’t exist.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Either this is true, which would be a terrible sign that the President is not in control of his own Pentagon, or it's false, in which case the President is lying about a crucial national security issue for some reason.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Republicans are promising the government will borrow $1.3 trillion in money we don’t have to add to the $40 trillion debt to give $5,000 to everyone but only if they win the election while claiming Democrats are all socialists.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Dear world:

Please accept out apology for the idiocy of our current president and the cravenness of his apparatchiks. Hang in there and we will be back, one day soon, on the side of sanity and decency.

Sincerely,

Patriotic Americans of goodwill

Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ».

Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique.

Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes.

Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.

[Rick Reilly @ReillyRick]

If you know Trump, you know he'll cheat to win.
If he doesn't win, he'll lie and say he won.
If he loses, he'll say you cheated and declare himself the winner.
This is the twisted narcissist who represents us.

The HPV vaccine is CRUSHING cervical cancer and at this rate will eliminate it!!

An anti cancer vaccine!

It's a modern medical miracle

RFK Jr is, of course, against it

He'd rather your daughter get cervical cancer than a vaccine

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Unlike Trump and Burgum, Pirro was faced with the prospect of having to actually prove a crime in a court of law with actual evidence and someone there able to challenge it with a legal defense. All Trump and Burgum have to do is feed their cult more BS on social media.

[Chad C @ChadCollingwood]

Nobody is shocked.

[CNN @CNN]

The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://t.co/yWzkTG76wo

Dr. Fauci, who saved millions of lives in the USA, is getting treated harsher than all the Epstein perpetrators. USA is fundamentally damaged to its core.

[Andrew Weinstein @AWeinstein]

He attacks mail‑in voting while voting by mail. He mocks vaccines while getting vaccinated. He pushes “Buy American” while selling foreign‑made merchandise. He demands action against undocumented workers while his own properties hired them. He rages about classified information while mishandling it. And now he’s falling asleep on the job after calling Joe Biden “Sleepy.” The hypocrisy is staggering.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

In 2020, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence was John Ratcliffe, whom he handpicked. Ratcliffe is now the director of the CIA. If Trump is going to claim this intelligence was suppressed, the theory would thus be that Trump’s intelligence community, under Ratcliffe, had an opportunity to inform the public China was trying to hurt his election prospects and actively chose to claim the opposite. Trump then responded to these revelations by allowing the same person to lead the CIA and by softening his position against China. Alternatively, Trump could just be making all this up on the fly because he's still upset about losing 2020 to Biden. You can decide which seems more plausible.

[Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA]

Many of us on Donald Trump's team in the first term saw -- up close -- how much of a loser he was.

Now, I think that understates it.

He's the BIGGEST loser in the history of U.S. politics. A crybaby of the highest order. And an electoral thug who can't shoot straight.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Iran cost tens of billions of dollars and thousands of lives, including 13 Americans. For what? What was the point of that war? A more radical Iranian regime that now controls the Strait of Hormuz?

Dumbest war yet.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

The legacy of this @POTUS won't be the monuments he builds to himself but the destruction of faith in public institutions for his own power and profit.
He wants to rewrite or erase history because he knows it won't be kind to him.
