Unfortunately Trump is so intent on having the last word, his ego won't allow anything less. I still say that if he had just stayed off social media at the end of his first term, he likely would have been elected again. But nope, he couldn't resist.

Being one of only two presidents to serve nonconsecutive terms, one might think that a 4 year hiatus would have given him some time to reflect and gain clarity. But nope.

You can take my opinion with a grain of salt but in terms of comparing the two terms. It's like the second term is about getting even for how he feels he was treated after the first term. I think there's a segment of the population that growing tired of it. It might play to his base but enough already about Biden and everyone that tried to fuck him. They want to move forward get past the retribution.That's the interesting thing with Trump, he's this open book. It's like this deal with the Pope. There's nothing to be gained by picking a fight with the Pope, nothing, just basic political strategy, leave the Pope out of it. I guess he's gotten away with it in the past but it's wearing thin now.

There's his tariffs, they are generating inflation, that's just basic economics. They are adding to the cost of goods for Americans. And his immigration policies. He talked about getting rid of the worst of the worst but the reality has been going into communities and grabbing people that have been people's friends and neighbors. That was a popular plank to his platform that I think people have soured on with the heavy handed approach.

Utter nonesense and the definition of hypocrisy. You hate trump so everything has some nefarious taint to it. Retribution for being shit on? How would that make any sense NOW? To hurt Americans because the Dems and CNN conspired to shit on him? And where is your outrage at the way hew ewas treated? You're fine when he's getting shit on - but now when he's doing the shitting. LOL - priceless. Love the hypocrisy.

I dont hate Trump. I am trying to read the political climate. If you want to disagree that is fine. Let's see how the politics plays out. How the midterms go

But that's not his style. He's a remarkable political figure and it is based on that aspect of him. He's really a product of social media. He's quite honest in that respect.

Erick Erickson... It's not about hating Trump, I don't think Erickson hates Trump. It's viewing the situation. Ignore it if you want, fine with me
“They’re not getting what they voted for to begin with. On top of that, whether he’s mocking their religion intentionally or not, he still is. I think we are looking not really at a MAGA crack-up per se, but a lot of the base becoming exasperated enough to start looking beyond Trump.”

The incoming director of Israel’s Mossad spy agency believed a war with Iran could trigger the swift collapse of the regime, according to three Israeli sources familiar with internal consultations – an assessment that has failed to materialize after more than 40 days of fighting.

Roman Gofman, currently serving as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military secretary, told the Israeli leader in planning discussions that the Iranian regime could be toppled, a view shared by the agency he is set to lead, and one that proved overly optimistic
He sold the idea both to Netanyahu and to Trump. It makes sense but on the other hand, I don't get it. I don't see the connection, for me it's the opposite. I mean just generally speaking. Attacking a country is going to solidify the political situation, not fracture it.

Honestly, what would be the one thing that would end the political struggle between the left and the right in the United States, I'd say being attacked by another country. It was crazy to attack Iran believing it do anything other than solidifying support for the existing government. They were operating in a fantasy world. Not only didn't it work but I think it's backfired to the extent they have strengthened Iran rather than weakened it.

UM, so your proof that Trump didn't get shot - is to show Evander Holyfields ear? The one that was bitten off? What the literal fuck? You must be desperate to trot that out - that is beyond hilarious "proof" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: OMG - I cannot believe someone actually posted that. Too funny. Imagine waking up, logging on, seening that, believeing that, and then reposting it. Literal example of TDS and retardation. But you 'don't hate Trump", right? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: To be as full of shit as you are.... just priceless. Claiming you "don't hate Trump" despite every single post by you showing that is exactly how you feel - which is fine - but stop walking it back because you think it makes you look objective and buys you credibility - it doesn't. Be as full of shit as you want - just know you're gonna get called out at times. And you are completely full of shit.

Kinda like how you conveniently refuse to respond to this, because it kills your nonsensical narratives...
Where is your outrage at Biden for opening the borders and ushering in 10,000,000 illegals so the Dems could grow their voter base? Crickets, right? Where's the outrage at the US taxpyer getting the bill for them to live here for free? Crickets. Where's the acknowledgement that ICE would not have had to ramp up their work IF BIDEN DIDN'T FLOOD THE COUNTRY WITH ILLEGALS? He forced Trump's hand. Where was your outrage at Obama deprting MORE ILLEGALS than Trump? Where were all those protests? Crickets, right? In law enforcement there are going to be casualties - where is the acknowledgement?

As always, as soon as common sense ius trotted out - crickets and "but, but, Trump!" while refusing to acknowledge ICE is 100% a reaction to WHAT BIDEN DID. Yeah, we can't talk about that, right? Accountability? That's for other people - like Trump - right?
Yeah, can't blame trump for Biden/Dems fuck ups, right? So we'll just ignore them. DIdn't happen. ICE was ramped up because of what the Dems did - every single problematic ICE engagement is a direct result of the Dems opening the border - that is a cold hard fact. Where's your outrage?

Cue the crickets!

Wash, rinse, repeat.

"Evander Holyfield's ear healed - as ears do - therefore Trump didn't get shot!" Wow, what a whackadoodle.

Next up, "hey, the earth is flat!"

Plastic Surgeon Walks Us Through Trump's Ear Injury One Year After Assassination Attempt

Donald Trump was addressing a crowd during a campaign stop on July 13, 2024, when 20-year-old Thomas Crooks shot him and missed, grazing instead the upper portion of Trump's right ear. Looking at photos of the divisive politician today, Dr. Frederick Weniger, a board-certified plastic surgeon, exclusively confirmed that his wound seems to have healed fully. "The skin looks smooth and there's no obvious sign of active redness or swelling to suggest healing problems," he pointed out. "There is some bumpiness at the back edge of the top of the ear (where the majority of the injury was), and there is also a slight depression in the front where the rim of the ear attaches to the side of the face."

Zooming in on the site more, the South Carolina-based surgeon noticed a slight distortion along the outer edge of Trump's ear, where he was shot. The area doesn't quite match the other side, likely due to tissue "being lost, repaired, or repositioned" during the healing process. The expert also observed a slight difference in the president's skin color and its texture on his wounded ear, suggesting the possibility of skin grafting or flap closure.

However, he doesn't believe any reconstructive surgery was performed. Instead, the doctor reckons there's a good chance the president let his scar heal on its own. Some light makeup may have also been used to conceal or reduce the appearance of any scarring. "The final appearance is impressive considering the high-energy injury," Weniger stressed. "The outcome looks stable, and from a distance, most people wouldn't notice anything unusual."

Yeah, I had just noticed its kinda a thing, it does seem impressive. Some on the right would be going nuts with conspiracy theories if it had been Biden with the impressive recovery :D

What's really impressive is Holyfields ear, Tyson really did take a bite out of it. I always thought of that as an exaggeration

So, in other words, you're accusing 'the right" of doing the exact same thing you're doing. Funny how it's "a thing" for you when others do it, but not when you do it. Are you familiar with the term "hypocrite"?
