Just remember, everyone: The number one favorite strategy in the Republican playbook is...
Create a loud problem to hide the ones they don't want you to see.
Every time something happens that is meant to cause outrage ask yourself what else is going on. It's always reported on, just have to look.
It's normal for the oldest child to take over decisions for a parent whose mental capacity is faltering.
“The reality this time is we actually know what we’re doing,” Don Jr told Fox News earlier this month. “And it’s about surrounding my father with people who are both competent and loyal.”
What a massive self own. He's straight up admitting they were totally clueless last administration. And the reason they are choosing all these hacks is because they will go along with the next coup attempt. This is going to be an absolute shit show.
Already laying the groundwork for his chosen successor?
Hopefully, Trump will die, and the right will completely fracture along the dividing lines already apparently established at Mar-a-lago (fuck this fucking timeline)... Trying to appoint Don Jr. as successor could definitely become a major rift with Vance and whatever the third type of crazy that last faction is.
This US election, considering the comparative power a US voter has, is the stupidest act I’ve seen by a population in my lifetime.
Well we did Brexit in the UK, currently holding the record for longest lasting self-inflicted fuck-up. Hell it's been long enough that even some of the right wing loons are starting to realise that it might not have been the sunshine and roses they were promised.
However I'm under no illusions that a another 4 years of trump could easily make that look rational by comparison.
Time will tell whether a Trump 2.0 dictatorship was a longer-lasting self-own than Brexit.
In between bumps of pocket cocaine?
Yeah.... remember how much conservative media was making fun of coke-addled Hunter Biden?
Now we have coke-addled Trumpy Jr. Making the goofiest fucking cabinet picks the world has ever seen.
It's so interesting how they will dig through a stolen laptop and make a huge deal of it every single day for 2 years.
Trump Jr does cocaine in public on camera and it's perfectly normal.
I think that's a major difference in left vs right media. The Right understands marketing. You need to repeat a message over and over before it gets into the public consciousness. Democrats never stick to one subject. They're always onto the new shiny criticism. For example, labeling Trump as "weird" was just gaining traction when they moved onto the new idea.

When you control the media, they let you do it.
Right? It was wild how the weird thing was really going well and they decided to close out the last couple of months by hanging out with Liz Cheney.
Dems stuck to hope and change during Obama's campaigns and it worked. They of course learned nothing from success.
No one is picking qualified individuals to run a government, let alone an actual country. They are basically trying to make a very cheap reality TV show on a shoestring budget. Their casting process consists of "I know a guy who knows a guy, who's cousin looks perfect for the part". This is about a facade (looks) and ratings (popularity). Except the ironic part is, none of these people have even been well loved (popular) and they are all ridiculously ugly on the inside. We need to cancel this show as soon as possible.
Imagine the power ivanka could wield if she chose so.
Daddy's girl will be our first female president and it makes me sick.
Not gonna happen. No way are we electing a woman in the next 30 years.
If Democrat voters refuse to vote for a woman, what makes you think Republicans will?
Well that explains a lot.....
Do you think they'd be better if Trump picked them himself?
So, we elected jr?
Trump put his entire family in the white house last time. Of course he'll do it this time, too.
We elected whoever has last talked to the President, since he has the mental capacity of a goldfish and will just repeat the last thing anyone says to him.
