If he can't beat Mills in a primary, why do you think he could beat Collins in a general?

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

The only way Congressional Dems can end this is by peeling off some GOP congressmembers. If you think that's impossible, then we better come up with an alternative plan. Screaming at the Jeffries and Schumer isn't going to change the underlying reality that they simply don't have the votes.

The only way this ends is with some congressional Republicans turning on Trump. The Dems simply don't have the votes to stop him on their own. Do you think it's possible that the reason they are messaging the way they are is to encourage congressional Republicans to turn on Trump?

Okay. Show us how it's done. Lead by example. What are some things you think Jeffries has done well that you support? I'm sure you will have several good faith answers you can share.

There needs to be a new Nobel prize, given out for people who worked on something, realized it was evil and could in the world that actually exists only possibly ever be used for evil, and then stopped working on it.

Stopping ALL weapons would include defensive systems like the Iron Dome. That would endanger the Israelis who do not support the genocide. Why should they be held accountable for the actions of a government they do not support?

Would you be surprised to learn they actually aren't a recent invention? Well the idea behind them anyway. I'm sure the medication used is more modern now.

She never said that. That's what you wanted to hear. What she actually said was that withholding offensive weaponry was an example of leverage that could be used to pressure Israel, but she would always ensure the Israeli people had what they needed to defend themselves.

The last Dem candidate for President explicitly ran on bringing an end to the Israeli aggression in a way that protected Palestinian's freedom, security and self-determination. Trump was Netanyahu's preferred candidate. Again, it was a self-defeating strategy. And frankly selfish.

Like I said, it's a self defeating strategy. Even if the choice is between a half bowl of shit and a full bowl, why would anyone want the full bowl?

buddythebird @bthebird.bsky.social · 1d

And yet, they elected him a second time. That doesn't fit with the narrative that they "were willing to take a chance".

Anyone who is willing to allow the Magas to take more and more power because the Dems aren't sufficiently left enough for their liking is engaging in a self-defeating strategy.

The ceasefire was agreed upon in January of this year. Trump took credit for it even though he wasn't in office yet, and then failed to enforce it after taking office.
