Biden COOKED Trump “Tearing down the East Wing of the White House, making room for his ballroom, putting his name on the Kennedy Center, building an arch in his own honor, or even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. What a loser!”
@StevenUSA1776@Acyn Right wingers really can't seem to grasp that you can care about people regardless of who their government is. Supporting Palestine is not about the ruling class and its institutions, but for the people's right to live free from mass murder by another sovereign nation
How do you fuck up the 250th this badly?
It’s such an easy win. An average Summer day on the Mall is a hundred times more full. You have to work to make it this empty.
This regime is such a bizarre tragicomedy.
“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard troops as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.
JD Vance works for the most corrupt president in American history. So of course he wants you to believe Watergate was nothing.
Vance joked that if Watergate happened today it would be a “12 hour news story.” Let’s remember what Nixon actually did.
Operatives tied to his reelection campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters to plant listening devices. Then Nixon personally orchestrated the cover up. The “smoking gun” tape caught him ordering the CIA to shut down the FBI’s investigation.
That is obstruction of justice, in his own voice, on tape.
The House Judiciary Committee identified 36 separate instances of obstruction. It approved three articles of impeachment, with Republicans joining Democrats.
Nixon weaponized the IRS and FBI against his political enemies, authorized burglaries of private citizens, and fired the special prosecutor investigating him in what is called the Saturday Night Massacre. When the Supreme Court ordered him to release the tapes, the vote was unanimous. Even his most loyal defenders walked away once they heard his own words.
Vance is telling us a president can break the law, lie about it, and turn federal agencies into weapons, and we should all just go along with it.
There is a reason he wants the bar that low. When you serve an administration this corrupt, the only way to look clean is to convince the public that crimes no longer count.
He’s wrong. They did then, and they do now.
History will not be kind to JD Vance.
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
