Translation: Trump’s own party is worried that his tariffs are going to cost them elections and are threatening to 25th him if he doesn’t play ball.

Indeed. The dementia angle is a distraction. Not enough of them are getting his hot insider trading tips I suppose before each oscillation of the yo-yo.

He was ridiculed for a segment of his speech at West Point but it went for an hour and it was nowhere near as bad as Dems made it out to be.

Seemed to work out well for Reagan to finish his term — I remain pessimistic.

Go out and vote, protest, and push these fuckers out of power.

Yeah Reagan was literally a meat puppet by the end and it didn't stop a thing

This was demonstrated very clearly by Harris during the debate. People did not care. She also said Putin would eat him alive and he has. People do not seem to care.

There always are. The issue, no major candidates chose to run on the Democrtic side. Alternatively one could vote for Dean Phillips who did run or probably write someone in OR one could vote on the republican side. I voted on the Republican side this time.
