A Creepy QAnon Chant Rises at Trump’s Rally—and He Nods and Smiles – Donald Trump is openly embracing QAnon as he tries to retake the White House.

A Creepy QAnon Chant Rises at Trump’s Rally—and He Nods and Smiles – Donald Trump is openly embracing QAnon as he tries to retake the White House. This headline immediately caught my attention, as it highlights the disturbing trend of Trump openly embracing fringe conspiracy theories like QAnon, all in an effort to regain power.

It is deeply unsettling to witness Trump nodding and smiling at the chants of QAnon supporters. The fact that he is openly embracing a group that has been widely criticized for spreading baseless conspiracy theories is concerning, to say the least. But perhaps what is even more troubling is the realization that Trump’s embrace of QAnon is not a new phenomenon; he has been doing it for years.… Continue reading

Mitt Romney: Some Trump Supporters Are ‘Out Of Touch With Reality’

Reflecting on Mitt Romney’s recent statement about some Trump supporters being “out of touch with reality,” it is interesting to see the reaction and comments that have followed. While Romney’s choice of words may have been soft, many individuals have strong opinions and believe that the issue extends beyond just “some” supporters. As one commenter pointed out, it seems that a significant portion of Republicans may be out of touch with reality, leading to a division within the party and a sense of in-fighting.

However, some also criticize Romney for speaking out only now, as he is about to leave office.… Continue reading

Donald Trump Is Losing It. Will the Media Make It a Story?

It isn’t exactly a secret anymore. It should be a headline by now – “Donald Trump is losing it.” This is something that has been persistently discussed in political circles, across social media, and even in hushed whispers among friends and family. Yet, the mainstream media seem avidly resistant to framing this narrative, and I find myself asking why they seem hesitant to make this an important story.

To paint the picture only from my observation, Trump has proven time and again his disposition to indulging his most baseless and incoherent rants. His vocalized thoughts are chaotic, bordering on nonsensical, and often leave people bewildered, asking, “did he just say that?”… Continue reading

Donald Trump ‘Slurring’ Words Again at Rally Sparks Speculation

As I sit here and read all the comments and speculation surrounding Donald Trump’s recent slurred speech at a rally, I can’t help but feel a mix of concern and amusement. Concern, because if the President of the United States is indeed experiencing a decline in mental and physical health, it raises serious questions about his ability to effectively lead the country. Amusement, because it seems like every day brings a new headline about Trump’s cognitive abilities, and I can’t help but chuckle at the irony of it all.

First and foremost, let’s address the impact of these rumors and discussions on Trump’s strongman image.… Continue reading

Trump appears to mix up Pelosi, Haley while speaking about Jan. 6

As I watched the latest debacle unfold, I couldn’t help but think – how has it come to this? Former president Donald Trump speaking publicly and appearing to confuse the roles of two prominent women politicians – he suggested Nikki Haley was in charge on January 6, the day the U.S Capitol was stormed; a responsibility that fell under Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s purview. The cognitive decline seemingly implied by this mix-up is deeply concerning, bordering on alarming as it perhaps signifies the initial stages of degeneration.

One cannot simply brush off such glaring errors, especially when they come from someone who once occupied the highest office in the nation.… Continue reading

Trump is bleeding moderate support. It could cost him the 2024 election.

As someone who prides themselves on being a moderate, I find it quite intriguing to watch the political landscape unfold as we approach the 2024 election. A crucial element in this unfolding saga is the ability, or I should say, inability, of Donald Trump to retain moderate support. There’s something particularly bewildering and perturbing about watching his waning appeal amongst procrastinating Republicans, independents, and undecided voters—people like me—who were once hopeful that an outsider might inspire change, but have since been disillusioned by the chaotic and divisive behemoth that is the “Trump legacy”.

And the Republican party isn’t helping the cause either.… Continue reading

Trump confuses Biden and Obama… again

Ever since the announcement of Joe Biden as the presumptive nominee for the Democratic party in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, there has been much debate and speculation about who he was going to be up against. Donald Trump, the incumbent President, is a formidable candidate, not just because of his status as the sitting President but also due to his unpredictable actions and comments. Yet, the recent revelation that Trump has been confusing Biden with Obama again and again has brought to light not just issues with Trump’s cognition but also possible manipulation tactics that underpin his political strategy.

To start with, it is alarming that the leader of one of the world’s most powerful nations is clearly struggling with cognition, especially by getting people’s names and crucial historical information wrong.… Continue reading

Supreme Court allows Biden administration to remove razor wire on US-Mexico border in 5-4 vote

Supreme Court allows Biden administration to remove razor wire on US-Mexico border in 5-4 vote

As I sit here and read about the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Biden administration to remove the razor wire on the US-Mexico border, I can’t help but feel a sense of disbelief. The fact that this decision was a 5-4 vote is absolutely terrifying. How is it possible that something as clear as removing razor wire becomes a split decision?

This issue goes beyond immigration. This is about the division of powers outlined in our Constitution. States do not have the authority to control the federal border.… Continue reading

McConnell breaks with RNC: Jan. 6 ‘violent insurrection’

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/593339-mcconnell-breaks-with-rnc-jan-6-violent-insurrection

Sure. He said this immediately after the impeachment, and even said Trump was responsible… except he declined to hold Trump responsible.

You misunderstand McConnell’s grand plan. He’s using the courts he tricked Trump into assembling to fuck him at every turn (election results, his tax returns, now J6) while supporting traditional conservative principles (minor wins for religious rights, campaign finance, likely wins for guns and abortion in Corlett and Dobbs coming out this summer). And while the courts destroy him piece by piece, the J6 committee led by two McConnell Republicans exposes the real dirt behind him and leaves him with his pants down for the Federalist Society graduate DOJ to come and collect.… Continue reading

Wisconsin high court declines to hear Trump election lawsuit

A split Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday refused to hear President Donald Trump’s lawsuit attempting to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, sidestepping a decision on the merits of the claims and instead ruling that the case must first wind its way through lower courts.

Why did the Trump administration do nothing to protect our election from this massive, widespread voter fraud that they are claiming? If what they are saying is true, wouldn’t that mean that Trump is dangerously incompetent and unqualified because he did nothing to address the threat? Voter fraud on the scale they are alleging would be one of the greatest attacks ever perpetrated on the United States, yet it happened under Trump’s watch.… Continue reading
