NABDad , in Donald Trump mocked for video of him walking down stairs

As much as I'd like to see that shithead raked over the coals for anything, I watched the video and didn't notice anything unusual.

7u5k3n ,

This article isn't for.left folks... It's for those Rs who want a "strong" president. So media will do what ever they can to attack him to make him look weak.

They do the same.thing with Biden and his forgetfulness.

It's all bull shitty propaganda :/

Here’s a link to the video, since Newsweek couldn’t be bothered.

Honestly not seeing anything big deal.

…somebody reported on this?

Imagine having the universe of 45-related content in front of you and selecting that.

I’m gonna start preparing for the civil war.

Yeah when the war breaks out I'm just going to fucking kill myself. I'm not living through that shit.

Nah. It's sleeping pills for me.

DigitalTraveler42 ,

Not a bad idea, invite them in, drug them with sleeping pills, slit their throats, just like the European resistance did the first time we had to fight Nazi fuckheads.

(Don't worry I know you still meant suicide)

DigitalTraveler42 ,

If you're starting now you're way behind, some of these nutters have been planning for decades.

Just learn how to rob fortified positions instead. /s

This country is full of just awful human beings.

“This is the third we’ve won, but this is the biggest,” he said.

In fact, he lost Iowa in the 2016 primaries to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. His win in 2020 was as the sitting president with but token opposition.

Fucking beautiful. What a just surreal time to be alive.

Remember that Iowa is not representative of the entire country. They have attempted over decades to position themselves as "king makers"

Well, the definition of king makers is that they are not representative of the country.

Wait, are you telling me that wanted to be king makers for decades? Is it possible that they horribly misunderstood that phase?

Think about it. Twenty years ago, what king did they put into power? That's right, Steve King. It's the only explanation for anyone voting for him. I mean. I can't image another one.

Obviously, I'm joking, but the truth is, any state keeps Steve King in power can't be representative. Iowa only has four districts. If one quarter of their delegation to the HoR was Steve fucking King, they would have send world-class liberals next to him to even hope of being representative of the nation. But that world-class liberal doesn't exist.

Iowa's reps are almost always 3 R and 1 D. Until 2021, one of those Rs was Steve King. Iowa currently has 4 Rs in the house. I'm so glad we gave up the contest to win the hearts and minds of that state.

I've lost all respect for amerikkka. It's ruined everything when it comes to social media and is the reason the rest of us can't have nice things. I've been searching for new social spaces online becasue all the main ones are toxic piles of shit now.

Not everyone online is american, not everyone online hates who you hate. Some of us are just disabled and want to have pleasant conversations with people. We're not allowed to do that anymore.

FUCK

givesomefucks , in Vivek Ramaswamy suspends campaign and endorses Trump

Primaries are largely performative grifts these days...

Lots of candidate run big campaigns grifting donations and being more extreme than the parties pick.

Then almost immediately drop out and endorse the party favorite.

Bernie wanted to stay until it was over, and got shit on by the media and the DNC.

Because neither party is honestly interested in letting voters pick the general candidate. And rich donors definitely aren't. They want the party to pick, be cause the parties always pick what donors want.

ChonkyOwlbear , in Haley says US has ‘never been a racist country’

Let's play the GOP',s favorite game show. It's....

LYING OR DELUSIONAL!!!

oDDmON , in Haley says US has ‘never been a racist country’

There’s revisionist history and then there are complete breaks with objective reality.

Today’s GOP chooses the latter.

Donnywholovedbowling , in Haley says US has ‘never been a racist country’

She's literally spoken in the past about the racism and discrimination her family faced as immigrants... Man I hate the GOP

Grass ,

What does she even gain from this? Why are there women in the gop at all?

pottedmeat7910 , in Haley says US has ‘never been a racist country’

She's playing to her audience, which consists mostly of white people that have never actually experienced racism.

That's right, we've always been god's little gem. The shining city on a hill! Life must feel a lot lighter without that pesky soul to drag around.
