RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."
Sorry Brainworm, I’m not reversing the vasectomy because you’re worried that not enough white people are being born in the US.

Especially chilling as the Trump admin actively seeks to undermine Ukraine and reward russia for its atrocities.
☢️🇺🇦 Today marks another anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum.
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for assurances of support in the event of aggression…
History has shown that without effective guarantees, international law often fails to work in practice.

That would go over even better than when he tried to tell us gas costs $2 per gallon.

Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

With a tip of the cap to Edwin Edwards, the would be Democratic nominee would have to be caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.
And I’m not sure the latter would have much impact like back when Edwards said it.

a thing to ask yourself re: the GOP's electoral position is what could happen over the next year that could *improve* its position? and what could trump do, plausibly, that might *boost* his numbers with the public?

Whatever Witkoff’s number was, he’s earning every penny from the russians.
Is there an amount of wealth you can acquire that helps you sleep better at night when, as a specially appointed official representing the US, you side with and embrace a murderous dictator like Putin? Does material wealth make Witkoff feel good about that? How much does it take?

In Trump’s America, when the president wants something done, he sends in the most unqualified people— and they invariably f—- it up.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

These dopes’ revisionist history is incredible. “The president signed the bill.”
The president who called it a hoax… whose DOJ redacted all mentions of his name, for starters… and from the party with the House Speaker who closed the house for the better part of three months to avoid a vote. Wow.
