@mdrealresults That is my thought as well. Ben seems to be working on the assumption that Republicans lose in 2028, no matter the nominee. I think he doesn't think the economy will be at a good point near 2028, otherwise it doesnr make sense for Marco to skip
@mirijoie That is what I got. In his eyes, 2028 will be a loser for Republicans; otherwise, it doesn't make sense for Rubio to skip it. In the scenario he presents, JD loses the presidential race both times. He doesn't even grapple with a Vance win
@scuderiaverse It is a show about american jews in the 1900s. Obviously, they would have Israel-related stuff. A lot of jews were moving to Israel in that period to live there, at least for some time
@traderlln@Natsecjeff Israel doesn't want Trump's ire. They wanted to take out Iran's energy facilities but were stopped by Trump. He also stopped them in Lebanon and Gaza so he could get deals. US is keeping them out because they don't want an energy crisis that would result when Israel escalates
@BlueBoxDave He shouldn't have said it, but he is tangentially correct after all; Vance subscribes to the Heritage American stuff. This means his wife is less American than he is. Same applies to his kids
@Legal_Fil They tried the same thing with an MSNOW article saying the same thing, and it didn't get traction. This is more or less a copy-paste of that. This is Bruesewitz's machination. I dont know why he does plant in conservative media
@Cjpearson@natalie_allison Thiessen is defending Trump's economy, which he himself is calling the best ever? So, it is surprising Vance is calling him fat for defending Trump's economy but won't say a word about his good friend Tucker
@MilitantPiss@DiscoJer@ElliotKaufman6 Also, why do they announce the evening tit-for-tat strikes beforehand? It allows Iran to vacate the targets and minimise casualties
@MilitantPiss@DiscoJer@ElliotKaufman6 True, I am having trouble believing the US Army would run out of munitions after 2 weeks of war. It is half-assed attempts that allow Iran to be more offensive. To this day, I am wondering how there are still targets(buildings) in the small coastal towns near Hormuz
@renaissancepe20 @petespiliakos Trump is a neocon. You can see it in his first and second terms. He has been talking about attacking Iran since the 90's. He also did the Venezuela op. He is talking about taking Greenland and Cuba. Bombed Houthis last year. Killed Soleimani
@SarcasticCupcak@LarryOConnor Advocating for lockdown is cool if it is Tucker saying it? He only changed his view once the tide turned. And this week we know Trump didn't want to do this, but he caved under pressure(which Tucker was part of)
@redfang58 Which makes it more bizarre when Bruesewitz courts and does not attack people who outwardly subvert Trump and the GOP, and even goes to their podcasts even though they say they are not republicans and will not vote. He is responsible for uplifting the podcast circuit in politics
@redfang58 She only criticised the MOU and was attacked by Bruesewitz, although she said she would vote republican anyway. The criticisms turned out to be right. When an isolationist critic criticises foreign policy, nobody says they are attacking the admin
@synthesis45@FaytuksNetwork I think the pre-emptive escalation will be timed for midterms for maximum impact. They have been attacking shipping, and this causes US retaliation. I think this time the attacks will be on US bases/Israel cause they are still attacking shipping as recently as yesterday
@richardbridd21@PhilWMagness@MarieIsabellaB@ConceptualJames@JohnDoyle@captive_dreamer Doyle used to have the same ideological beliefs as Fuentes. They differed on approach. Doyle insisted on toeing the line and hiding your true intentions to advance in the political scene, and once you have power, use it to advance your true beliefs. Basically poso approach
