    Can't elect a VP I tell you that was carsick when he was a child. Even if he gets carsick as an adult, nobody is going to care or notice.

    This brings me to the broken brain, trumptard, hog. The worse thing you can say is carsickness and you hate your brother so much over some dipshit politician that you willing to go public with some dumb dirt.

    I remember, not looking up for source, but the the Arizona family of Paul Gosar almost all came out and did not endorse him by saying he was a racist. You will never guess what comments Gosar has said in public. Yeah racist shit. So if you want to out your family member for being a piece of shit, sure. This dumb shit Walz brother; enjoy your horrible life you live.

    Granted, I don't think he's actually flipping it this year, in 2024. But Republicans keep making reasons for people to hate them in TX and it's slowly eroding support.

    There is also the fact that it's claimed by Republican leader in Tx that in 2016, Trump would've lost Tx to Hillary if it weren't for Republican suppression meddling.

    A lot of ground work needs to be done to flip Texas blue, especially to help catch and curtail the suppression and meddling you noted. The GOP still solidly controls the government of Texas and they’d fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.

    I don’t think that’s realistic this election. Focusing on the states historically up for grabs is the far better notion. It’s why Hillary lost in 2016.

    Republicans here purged 1M from voter rolls, almost half are legal voters.

    Paxton is sueing Bexar county for employing a third party company to mail out voter registration cards to everyone. TX won't be in play as a battleground state for a while still, I doubt even by the 2032 election cycle.

    President Biden tells reporters of Aysenur Eygi, the US citizen killed by Israeli forces: "Apparently it was an accident, ricocheted off the ground and just got hit by accident. I'm working that out now."

    Fuckin wow!!

    Now Biden is carrying water for IDF saying it was a ricochet??

    I posted in the Israel/Palestine thread where IDF already tried first blamed a Palestinian gunman, then it was a accident by IDF. The accident being a ricochet that hit her in the head.

    Why would you cover for the IDF on a death of an American fucking citizen.

    Jonathan Pollak is an eyewitness who was present at the demonstration. His testimony contradicts Biden’s “richocheted”: “It was a kill shot … this happened in the context of 17 people who were killed in demonstrations in Beita since 2021. You don’t hear about them because they’re not American.”

    Vid in link.

    At the start he said 2 shots. One hit a metal object.

    Stocks Hit Record High a Day After Fed’s Big Interest Rate Cut

    "But you kept saying Trump couldn't take credit for the stock market!"

    I did, yes. But one, this is Biden's fed's direct action, and two, since Trump kept taking credit for the stock market...even when not in the WH...it's only fair to extend that to Biden as well.

    Because it's the truth.... And he was asked about it. And he should report the facts as he knows them to be true to the best of his ability. I could go on.

    He should be thanking the GOP. A Trump-directed shutdown would be a huge blow to
    GOP efforts overall, Trump included.

    Let it never be thought that Trump is playing some sort of 5D chess, here. He’s just randomly casting about with spiteful outbursts trying to dictate policy from his private resort.


    The democrats should take a victory lap here, touting a “bipartisan effort” that “flies in the face of Trump.”

    Not only no shutdown, but they didn't even get any part of the SAVE act in the deal.

    And the "best" part of this (other than, you know, the government not shutting down) is that Trump will cast aspersions on all the various Republicans he labels "RINOS" who have violated the sanctity of the cult of MAGA, some of whom I'm sure are running for reelection and will see their support denigrated by Trump throwing them under the bus.

    BREAKING: The U.S. will send additional troops to the Middle East amid escalation between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Pentagon says.

    Keep it up Biden and US. Trying to get yourself into an October surprise would be the dumbest shit ever. Sending more troops on the basis you are a "peace keeping" force is so stupid. I will be honest that none of the countries will see more US troops as helping so they will be a target. By targets I'm speaking more on hating the US presence.

    Now IF a war breaks out, we all know what side the US is jumping on. All this for supporting a right-wing government of Bibi.

    The constant room temperature mini-panics are getting exhausting, my dude. The US sending troops to deter further conflict, especially when a US ally is involved, isn't exactly unprecedented nor does it necessarily result in war.

    And of course the US would support Israel in a broader war if one broke out. We literally have treaty obligations and ignoring those is the kind of thing Donald does.

    You support Israel I get it. I don't want to get into a war when a far right government is steering the boat. The of course they going to support their ally is the problem, but you having this warped sense of foreign policy and ally to a country committing genocide on on hand and on the other hand, escalating wars in the whole region.

    Idk how this is a "mini-panic" when I'm reporting a news article and the oh btw is Israel and Hezbollah are in open conflict with inflicting casualties on Lebanon.


    In the end you realize this is a possible shit show supreme if US does any type of intervention before the election. This would be on Biden which you have to defend for being this stupid.

    Sending troops and supporting an ally engaged in a war (what we're doing right now, actually!) is not actively getting into a war with boots on the ground, even if they're in the area.

    No, I just acknowledge reality and the consequences of what you're suggesting.

    If you think I'm in love with Israel and how they've prosecuted their war then you haven't read any of my posts on the topic since it began, or really in the politics section overall.

    My opinion on Israel engaging in genocidal acts or not is irrelevant to the standing treaties and agreements the US has, and our obligations to uphold them. Did you forget how dangerous it was that Donald even suggested not upholding US treaty obligations? The trust and reputational damage that did? Once you start ignoring deals you've signed, even if they're not bad deals you hate, nobody is going to trust any deals you make with them. We can argue this already happens, but something like this would be a major blow to US credibility writ-large.
