Typing that in and forgetting you were president absolutely shows a deterioration of memory and cognition that is dangerous for America

He should have already known the agents went in long after the riot -that shows how incompetent his staff are and/or how afraid they are to ever correct him

Stephanopoulos should have had the facts right there and thrown them on screen so Vance couldn't slime his way out of answering.

If you're going to bring it up, you need to be ready to counter the attempted slime out with receipts

It's as if they're all doing these destructive and deadly things to just...own the libs, to say "yeah, we don't need experts, we're in charge and WE'LL decide with OUR experts, regardless of their research being debunked by 100 to 1 by partisan lib researchers, we don't care about lib researchers"

"this is how we take our country back from republicans who control the WH, senate and house who shut down the government and are about to make healthcare costs skyrocket and make measles and polio do a big comeback"?

I'm not sure this concert will do that, but okay, John

People who didn't vote or protest voted for trump because they were mad at her and dems are greatly to blame for the moment America finds itself in right now.

spleenofoblivion.bsky.social @spleenofoblivion.bsky.social · 11h

"why didn't trump fix healthcare in his first term?"

"trump said he would have a new healthcare plan on day 1, why hasn't he delivered on that promise?"

so many useful questions she could have asked

"You've already promised to not vote for Dems"

this is some hilarious strawman trash

thank you for showing us all how well you communicate

spleenofoblivion.bsky.social @spleenofoblivion.bsky.social · 12h

You don't understand, at all.

Using a straw man is such an obvious indication that you don't understand a moment and are unable to communicate.

Your strawman count is 2.

spleenofoblivion.bsky.social @spleenofoblivion.bsky.social · 12h

Your lack of comprehension is duly noted.

Thanks for clearing that up, people were really wondering if you understood, which you didn't.

spleenofoblivion.bsky.social @spleenofoblivion.bsky.social · 12h

If you don't understand that I understand why you think he did a good job, then you don't understand the current moment in America

spleenofoblivion.bsky.social @spleenofoblivion.bsky.social · 12h

Thank you for your hilarious word salad and bizarre conclusion.

You failing to grasp the current moment is not my problem.

She does a decent job of derailing his thought with her little interruptions, but man, she just keeps letting him dance and dodge

Media needs to ask Duplessis why he ran such a bad campaign with bad ideas that people overwhelmingly hated, and if he understand why his bad ideas were so hated

spleenofoblivion.bsky.social @spleenofoblivion.bsky.social · 13h

He needs to say "fighting for maga voters because trump is abandoning them", not this weak sauce "everyday Americans" meaningless pablum

He needs to say "trump voters will suffer and die because of this, we're fighting for their lives because trump doesn't care, if he cared he wouldn't do this"

And they all know Trump is going to issue a blanket pardon for all of ICE and all the national guard for any and all crimes they commit, so their cheerleading of violence can proceed unrestrained.

Jordan is just tap-dancing away the time holding the fort because he knows a blanket pardon for all ICE is going to be crapped out of trump's mouth hole soon
