There should be zero ambiguity about whether grey-zoning a NATO ally should be rewarded. The regime shouldn't have been told anything other than to kick rocks.

the Republican Party needs to be fucking destroyed and every single person who has enabled Trump’s crime spree needs to be prosecuted

It takes the establishment to beat the establishment (Obama 2008, Harris 2024). There's not a singular intra-establishment alternative like in those years.

When you won the governorship in 2005, it was a signal that the Bush administration’s power would come to an end. Now, you willingly underwrite the worst authoritarianism in modern American history and the continued destruction of constitutional democracy by this lawless regime. Shameful.

1) Leverage begets leverage and 2) Trump and Johnson responded to the shutdown in self-destructive ways that showed no sign of stopping and 3) even if there was only a .1% chance of the subsidies getting renewed, there's certainly less now.

Arguing about polls is pretty silly, but it's difficult to align those facts with a Trump -5% approval rating with the New Jersey likely electorate. AtlasIntel also had Trump's approval as -8.8% with the Wisconsin electorate in March.

We'll see.

And I was one of many, many with an American flag.
