This, uh, kinda feels like the point of no return.

Posted without comment, because wow.

Instead of tapping another serving four-star, Trump has reached out to a retired three-star Air Force officer named Dan Caine, whom Trump tonight said was unjustly passed over for his fourth star by “Sleepy Joe Biden” despite being “highly qualified and respected.”

Trump apparently met Caine on a trip to Iraq in 2018. The president later recalled that first meeting during remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2019. He claimed that Caine—call sign “Razin” Caine—was insistent that ISIS could be defeated in a week, if America committed enough force to the effort. Trump said that Caine then donned a MAGA cap, and said: “‘I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.’” Trump added that he told Caine he was not allowed to do that, “but they did it.”

Edit: nah.

At this point I can’t see how there’s any way the U.S. can come back from this insanity. American democracy is over. And it only took them a month to do it.

My money is still on Trump dying before American democracy.

He’s old, and he’s fat.

When, not if.

Vance isn’t much better

IDK, everyone seems to turn on Trump when they can't use him for power anymore...look at his last VP

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Vance also seems like a guy needs to be led, not sure if he has the chops to lead nearly as brazenly as Trump.

He's a yes man for Trump but if Trump kicks the bucket I'm not sure he fills those shoes in anywhere near the same way. Trump's the rudder.

Even with the circus they've installed around him, this thing hinges on their king's presence & health.

Trump isn't calling the shots anymore, Musk and Project 2025 are. Look at how neutered Trump looked when Musk was speaking to reporters from the oval office, if he dies and Vance takes over I doubt anything changes at all

I will say she wasn’t my queen. I had to shut up as my criticism of her almost lost me friends.

My comments had nothing to do with race or gender, but of course I would get accused of that.

She was lesser of two evils. Again.

I think you are missing the point. The criticism isn't that she did those things, it's that she did those things AND prattles on and on about Christian values and how people should live, while seemingly not giving a #### about any of the parts of Christianity her actions are blatantly against. In this case, the worst part is the hypocrisy. So you are getting upset over nothing, unless you don't think she's a giant hypocrite, in which case, defend away I guess.

Sorry, who views Harris as their queen?

[missdpuck]

Yes. During the campaign I often watched livestreams of the Trump rallies on Conservative MAGA YouTube channels. I’m not one to hang out in echo chambers.

Every once in a while they would make a positive comment about the various female supporters’ and staffers’ skill set and intelligence.

But most of the comments were about their appearance. Oh look, these Trump supporters are so beautiful! Look at these women, perfect hair, no crazy hair colors, no piercings, no tattoos, no lesbians.

So ya they are a bunch of Barbies.

Oh, I get the point just fine. So, dragging her for being blonde, a “Barbie,” and marrying an old man is fair game, but if the same kind of personal shots were taken at someone on your side, suddenly it’s disgusting and out of bounds.

Our side? She’s a Stepford Nazi spewing threats against our country. Cry more.

This thread is pure comedy. It’s just one big circle jerk, and I’m done with it. Enjoy the next four years, ya softies.

Good, get lost. You’re a clown. You obviously don’t pay attention to what’s going on or you’re just a straight up gaslighter.

I don’t get how when you’re already the world richest person, you don’t just f off and live your best life. Also, why does Musk look like he’s being Weekend at Bernie’s around everywhere. The guy looks horrible.
