Republicans lost big in 2006 and again in 2008. Before Trump.
They lost the Presidency in 2012 but it was basically status quo. Also before Trump.
They only won in 2010, 2014, and 2016 because of populist anger and not because people loved the GOP.
They lost 2018, 2020, and 2022 because of massive fraud. At best, the GOP is just spineless in fighting that. At worst, they helped engineer it.
Maybe they’ll win when their first enemy isn’t their own base.
“Need” has nothing to do with it.
Lol. They used that 11 million number 20 years ago.
He was trying to make a sober, even-tempered speech that appeals to as many people as possible. Nothing more than that. It was standard political fare, and it was the most likely thing that was going to happen tonight.
I have no great expectations that it will be anything other than his 2024 announcement. What would lead me to believe otherwise? He’ll do his best to hype up whatever Republican wins they did get and talk about how fraud kept them from getting the Senate and more governorships. He’ll attack the media again and party leadership and maybe introduce his campaign slogan. He’ll view it as historical because it will be the beginning of “taking back our country.”
It likely won’t happen, but if it did happen, I think I would enjoy it as much if not more than his Presidency.
True, but I bet there would be plenty of “shut up, Karen” comments on this video.
Like many cliches and stereotypes, it’s grown well beyond its origin.
Boomer is another.
This is why I despise the whole “Karen” meme.
One could easily label her as such. She has the haircut.
But that label seems to have been designed to condition people not to speak up for themselves, even if they are 100% in the right.
He was 76 and had heart problems for the last decade.
Vote in Trump!
Florida has enough hogs already.
A lot of New Yorkers say “on line” instead of “in line.”
There have been many days when it would have been helpful to unleash it, yet here we are.
It can be both. Evelyn Waugh was an English novelist, and he was married to a woman named Evelyn, which I assume was confusing.
It never has been sufficient. Eternal vigilance is needed.
The Ukrainian propaganda was more believable.

The Phillies winning a WS does seem to coincide with economic turmoil.
1980 - Recession
2008 - Financial crisis
2022 - Bidenflation (if they win)
“ It’s enough that we have to deal with white supremacy. We shouldn’t have to deal with it with people of color because they all classify us together -- we all supposed to be together with this… what is this?”
Haha. Classic. Relative to history and to the rest of the modern world, whites—especially American whites— are the most racially tolerant people. And that’s often to their detriment when discussing pure survival.
Non-white people are still far more tribal and supremacist, but yeah, keep thinking there’s this “people of color” solidarity.
I try to guard against this mindset of seeing myself as an elect or chosen. It’s a conceit that I don’t like, and I think it is healthy to keep perspective by reminding myself that everyone can be someone else’s “normie.” Nothing is certain, and I may have reached conclusions that another person would see as nonsense, and there is a distinct possibility that person would be right.
Godfather 3?
Agreed. You can only rope-a-dope so much before you eventually are the dope.
I agree they are not real men. They are either empty, like Biden who I liken to a scarecrow or one of TS Eliot’s Hollow Men, or they are hosts for demons.
It was also Will Rogers who said it.
Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
