He IS an asshole--- but he's an asshole to all the right people.
I changed mine to democrat. In Oregon, with rare exceptions, statewide elections are always won by the democrat. Voting in the republican primary is a total waste. The primary winner will never be elected in the general election. Voting in the democrap primary gives at least a little say at who will win in the end.

I dont mind him being an asshole, I'm an asshole myself so I can relate.
I mind that he's painting a very broad brush between "Good" and "Bad" in practically every statement and every subject, and "Bad" is defined as anyone who doesn't agree with him.
Its certainly not Leadership and its going to bite us in the ass in the coming years. I don't truly think every Democrat is bad. I think a few of their ideas are actually good, I think a whole lot of them are warped and screwed up socialists. But I dont think the majority are Antifa rioting and raping in the streets. Much of what you see and hear on the news is young fucked up kids and illegals who yes all need locked up and/or deported.
But Bob down the street who is as liberal as they come, does not. It doesn't matter if I agree with ANYTHING he says, once we get to the point where an entire segment of the country is the enemy, we're all fucked. Folks seem to forget that their guy won't be in power forever, and the next guy may decide YOU are the problem and use all the nifty fun cool new Executive powers for himself. Its not "agreeing with the enemy", its basic critical thinking skills that many lack which is what's got us where we are, its called being an adult.
By declaring ALL Democrats to be the party of hate, evil, and Satan’ for example the other day, again, he simply continues to promote the delusional message that something around 70+ Million Americans are the enemy. That tactic may be fun for some whose only view of the world is Red/Blue Team, NFL armchair football, a wild night out at Ponderosa, and 30 minutes of Fox News headlines. But its not reality. And its simply making those he constantly demeans become more dug in. The gap is widening not getting better. If true civil war is your ultimate goal, You go First. Let me know how it works out.
We're being fed propaganda and a narrative by both sides, but many refuse to admit it. "My team is good and right and would never lie to me". Really? I mean Really after everything from JFK to Covid you can still say that? We're living a narrative professionally crafted and coordinated.
Waiting on the "But Biden was worse.."
If we've devolved to that as our primary excuse, it really doesn't matter anymore because we've lost the country anyway.
Shifty Schiff finally shut her up (well almost) by taking a different tack... she squirmed after he stopped asking questions and instead summarized her responses....

Greene doubles down on remarks about Affordable Care Act subsidies
“The issues of the subsidies are real. It’s not something that anybody can say is made up,” Greene told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill. “Also, people with regular or private plans, their premiums are looking to go up a median of 18 percent, that’s brutal. I know a lot of small business owners, like a family of four, and they’re paying $2,000 a month.”
“No I’m not towing the party line on this, or playing loyalty games. I’m a Republican and won’t vote for illegals to have any tax payer funded healthcare or benefits,” she added.
On Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) argued the end-of-year deadline to extend ACA subsidies was an “eternity” away. “We have effectively three months to negotiate. In the White House and in the halls of Congress, that’s like an eternity,” Johnson told MSNBC’s Ali Vitali.
Mike Johnson says 3 months to negotiate is like an eternity in Congress... yea right, that's barley enough time for their next vacation LOL LOL LOL

Well, all that police chief needs to do is ENFORCE THE LAW. What a concept. They refuse to do so, and allow antifa anarchist idiots to IMPEDE FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. The law enforcement leadership there should be arrested for being accessories to Antifa's crimes.She laid down the freaking law!!! She defeated the chief of police... How dramatic! And all without playing dress up! So impressive! Thank GOD she will save war ravaged Portland!

Trump is and should be PISSED at a lot of people, so I get his rhetoric. He was TARGETED illegally, as were many other conservatives, by people Biden gave blanket pardons to. If Bondi eventually gets off her ass and PROSECUTES those behind the illegal political targeting done by Democrats previously-- that is not vilifying and targeting Dems--- it is enforcing the law. It's not "Payback" for disagreeing with Trump--- it's enforcing the LAW. It's not "weaponizing" the DOJ and FBI, it is DE-weaponizing the DOJ and FBI.I dont mind him being an asshole, I'm an asshole myself so I can relate.

The big question is--- will it actually HAPPEN? Are they playing some of their own political games by timing charges and prosecutions to kick in close to the mid-terms? Who knows--- I am going to stay stocked up on popcorn though, because it is entertaining as all hell.
Well, we know Trump wants Comey prosecuted... he said so in a tweet to Bondi publicly... does that seem right to you? So, people resisted/resigned/got fired and a new chick that was willing to play ball got hired... now Comey is indicted and will have his first day in court tomorrow...
But why was there so much resistance in the DOJ to charging him? Why did some resign saying there was not enough evidence? We will see how this ends when it goes to trial.
Any then there's Letitia James... same story?
Does that seem "right" to me? Hmmmm
Imagine somebody waging a campaign to CRUSH YOU in every possible way, and they are breaking all kinds of laws in their irrational pursuit of CRUSHing you. Should they be investigated?charged? prosecuted? --- and wouldn't you WANT them thrown right into fucking jail for their crimes? Don't you think that would be kind of PERSONAL?

Yes, I agree, it's PERSONAL for Trump! But in his own interest, he really shouldn't have called for the indictments publicly.
If laws were broken, then those involved should be investigated and charged/prosecuted... then the defendant has a right to a speedy trial so as to not live under unproven accusations... if the defendant is found guilty, and the statutes call for jail time, then hell yea, throw them right into fucking jail as you say!
If the defendants are found innocent, do you think will Trump be satisfied, or will he claim the system is rigged?

Texas National Guard Lands in Chicago as Federal Immigration Crackdown Escalates
In a dramatic escalation of federal immigration enforcement, 400 members of the Texas National Guard arrived Tuesday at a military facility in suburban Chicago to support ICE and Border Patrol operations targeting cartel-linked fugitives and violent illegal aliens.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott authorized the federal government to deploy the National Guard, which has been patrolling the nation’s southern border during the Biden-era border crisis, Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark reported. Abbott responded to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s complaints about the deployment. “We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion,” Pritzker posted on social media. “It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.”
Abbott replied, “You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let (the) Texas Guard do it.”
“No Guard can match the training, skill, and expertise of the Texas National Guard. They defend our country with pride,” the Texas governor added. He reminded the public that Texas has thousands of National Guard soldiers and airmen assisting with securing the Texas-Mexico border.

Trump's Border Triumph: Crossings Plunge to 1970s Low ... the Securest Wall in U.S. History
"Under this Trump Administration, border crossings have dropped to their lowest level since 1970. That's incredible.

@PressSec · Follow The Trump Effect:
“Unlawful crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2025 plummeted to the lowest annual level since the early 1970s, amid the Trump administration's sweeping clampdown on illegal immigration.”

My comment. The Democrats are pissed that their voter supply has been drastically cut back and their drug supply is way down. I hope the child trafficking is also way down.

Could well be, but does that excuse the AG of the US from answering a simple question or discussing a rather big change in US legal policy made in a vacuum?
This is the problem here over and over. Ignore the bigger message/issue, jump on and praise high school theatrics.
