&lt;i&gt;Removing Enola Gay photos because &quot;gay&quot; is &quot;DEI&quot;. Dumbasses.... &lt;/i&gt;

OMG! The pilot named his famous plane after his mother, and they&#039;re proposing to censor the photo as well as many others where the word appears. 

This is so beyond stupid.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;&quot;A sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance. It only makes Trump look more presidential and restrained. We’re becoming the metaphorical car alarms that nobody pays attention to—and it may not be the winning message.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Democrat John Fetterman describing today&#039;s Democrat Party

How many times must YOUR OWN people tell ya&#039;all before ya&#039;all accept the facts and the objective reality??

Trump/America hate and PTDS is NOT a viable political agenda..

The FACTS overwhelming PROVE this beyond ANY POSSIBLE doubt.

And yet, ya&#039;all STILL persist...

You people are the seeds of ya&#039;all&#039;s own destruction and yer too blinded by hate, bigotry and intolerance to see the objective reality.</description>

		<description>OK, things are really getting bad for brain dead Democrats.. 

Democrats lost Musk... 

Democrats lost Zuckerburg… 

Democrats lost Bezos... 

Democrats are losing WaPo…

AND NOW Democrats are losing....   GAVIN NEWSOME!!!????

This perfect piece comes from Democrat Water Carrier POLITICO..

The political landscape for Democrats has reached a new low, evidenced by the shocking shift of California Governor Gavin Newsom, a once staunch advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, breaking ranks with his party on the contentious issue of transgender athletes in sports. In a recent podcast with conservative figure Charlie Kirk, Newsom stated, “I think it’s an issue of fairness... it’s deeply unfair.” This statement is not just a minor deviation; it signals a significant ideological rift within the Democratic Party, showcasing their struggle to maintain a coherent stance on critical issues.

Newsom’s comments reflect a growing concern among Democrats that they are losing ground on key social issues. He candidly admitted, “We’re getting crushed on it. Crushed. Crushed.” This admission is a stark reminder of how out of touch the brain dead woke progressive Democrats have become with mainstream American sentiments. By aligning himself with conservative viewpoints, Newsom is not only distancing himself from the party’s base but also positioning himself as a potential candidate for the 2028 presidential race, indicating a strategic pivot that could resonate with a broader electorate.

The irony is palpable: a governor who once defied state law to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples is now echoing Republican concerns about fairness in sports. This shift is emblematic of the Democrats’ broader identity crisis, as they grapple with the implications of their progressive policies. Newsom’s willingness to engage with conservative figures like Kirk and his critique of Vice President Kamala Harris’ stance on gender transition-related medical care for detained immigrants further illustrate the party’s internal fractures.

As Newsom navigates this treacherous political terrain, it’s clear that the Democrats are at risk of losing not just their grip on power but also their identity. The fact that a prominent Democratic figure feels compelled to align with Republican rhetoric underscores the urgency for the party to reassess its strategies. If they continue down this path of ideological confusion, they may find themselves not only losing Newsom but also alienating a significant portion of the electorate. The Democrats must confront the reality that their current approach is failing, or they risk becoming irrelevant in the ever-evolving political landscape</description>

		<description>We got a lot to cover today, so let&#039;s get to it..  :D  This little gem comes from CNN...

And the MOST CRINGIEST political ad goes to:

&lt;B&gt;BRAIN DEAD WOKE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS&lt;/B&gt;!!!! 

&lt;B&gt;The Cringe-Worthy Antics of Brain Dead Woke Progressive Democrats&lt;/B&gt;

In a desperate attempt to connect with young voters, brain dead woke progressive Democrats have once again showcased their utter lack of self-awareness with a cringe-inducing TikTok video. The &quot;Choose Your Fighter&quot; parody, featuring Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her cohorts, is a perfect example of how far removed they are from reality. As they jumped around in fighting stances, attempting to portray themselves as video game characters, one can’t help but wonder: who thought this was a good idea?

The backlash was swift and merciless. Patriotic Americans on social media were quick to mock the brain dead Democrats, with one user quipping, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Democrats Not Be Cringe Challenge: Level: Impossible.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

It’s as if the party is actively trying to implode itself, showcasing their inability to engage with the electorate in a meaningful way. Fox News contributor Joe Concha aptly pointed out that &lt;B&gt;&quot;there are just some people who don’t have anyone in their lives willing to tell them to stop.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Even more telling was the timing of this ridiculous stunt. Just days after refusing to stand and applaud for a child with cancer during &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump’s address to Congress, the Democrats chose to release this absurd video. GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hit the nail on the head when she remarked, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Democrats have sunk so low that I’m actually starting to feel sorry for them. Pitiful.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Ya&#039;all just HAVE to know how bad brain dead Democrats are when they get sympathy and pity from MTG!!

The woke progressive Democrats’ antics are not just embarrassing; they are a clear indication of their disconnect from the American people. As former &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump campaign advisor Tim Murtaugh asked, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Who is advising the Democrats?&quot;&lt;/B&gt; 

The answer is simple: a group of brain dead woke progressives who seem to believe that viral TikTok videos can replace substantive policy discussions.

In a political landscape where the GOP has a complete lock on all facets of government, the brain dead woke progressive Democrats’ latest stunt only reinforces the notion that they are out of touch and incapable of mounting a serious challenge. 

As communications strategist Erica Knight noted, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Anyone that has any doubt that the GOP can keep the house in 2026 should rest assured.&quot;&lt;/B&gt; 

The brain dead woke progressive Democrats’ cringe-worthy antics are not just a laughing matter; they are a warning sign of a Party in SERIOUS denial and a Party in SERIOUSLY ACCELERATING decline.</description>

&lt;I&gt;because nobody here has ever engaged in sarcasm.&lt;/I&gt;

How exactly was that &quot;sarcasm&quot;??

JMCT hates &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump and hates RFK..  JMCT wants &quot;mass deaths&quot; of Americans so he can blame &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump and RFK.  JMCT is EXCITED about that and &quot;can&#039;t wait for the next pandemic&quot;...

It&#039;s like saying &lt;B&gt;&quot;PRESIDENT Trump is Hitler and is going to kill 6 million jews!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Oh wait...  Brain dead woke progressive Democrats have said THAT in earnest as well!!

Brain dead woke progressive Democrats are CONSTANTLY wanting bad things to happen to America and Americans JUST so they can blame &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump...

Once or twice could be written off as &quot;sarcasm&quot; or irony..

EVERY DAY since 5 Nov 24 is no longer innocent sarcasm..  EVERY DAY since 5 Nov 24 is wishful thinking...  :eyeroll:

Actually EVERY DAY since Jun of 2015 is not innocent &quot;sarcasm&quot;.  EVERY DAY since Jun of 2015 indicates a deep seated DESIRE to actually have these things happen..

The fact that Genocide Guy hasn&#039;t explained his comment as sarcasm PROVES that he is actually excited about the next pandemic and is looking forward to &quot;&lt;B&gt;mass deaths&lt;/B&gt;&quot; of Americans.

&lt;I&gt;intentionally reading sarcasm as if it were sincere, or prediction as if it were desire, is just a tit for tat insult. &lt;/I&gt;

You mean, like ya&#039;all have been doing to &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump since Jun of 2015???

You mean like that???

&lt;I&gt; i&#039;d prefer a more civil tone from everybody, but each of us has to decide for ourselves how we&#039;re going to treat others, without the excuse of how they treat us.&lt;/I&gt;

It&#039;s funny... We only see these accurate pearls of wisdom when you and I are discussing things..  :D

&lt;B&gt;&quot;I find that really funny...…  But ya&#039;all ain&#039;t laughin&#039;...&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>Is this what a real demented president looks like? Tariffs on, tariffs delayed, tariffs on but delayed for specific products, all tariffs delayed. Tariffs delayed for some countries but not others. It&#039;s like they have absolutely no idea what they are doing. In the mean time, the rest of the world has lost patience and are putting in place their own tariffs, boycotting American goods and making side deals all over the place. We could not put a single tariff on any country but still have a recession just from the indecision. Biden handed Trump the strongest recovering economy in the G7 and Trump is going to fuck it up speed run style. Deep, deep stupidity...</description>

		<description>because nobody here has ever engaged in sarcasm.

politicians (of whichever party) may well cynically hope for disasters to occur that give them a better chance of being elected. some politicians might even explicitly tank legislation that would help solve the problem, just to help them get elected. normal people don&#039;t do that. CW doesn&#039;t do that.

intentionally reading sarcasm as if it were sincere, or prediction as if it were desire, is just a tit for tat insult. i&#039;d prefer a more civil tone from everybody, but each of us has to decide for ourselves how we&#039;re going to treat others, without the excuse of how they treat us.

		<description>Thanks for the reminder of the &quot;Biden recession&quot; that never came - giving us a little perspective on how the media covers economic forecasting.

But I am more curious about who exactly you are talking about when you say that &quot;consumers&quot; are not going to buy a Trump claim that &quot;it&#039;s all Biden&#039;s fault&quot; if a recession does in fact kick in this summer.

All &quot;consumers&quot;? Or only those &quot;consumers&quot; who are not also &quot;Trump&#039;s base&quot;? Because the &quot;consumers&quot; who ARE also &quot;Trump&#039;s base&quot; are arguably immune to any practical evidence that the Great Leader can ever do anything wrong. Why would a recession be different from all the other indicators since 2017 that this Republican administration, both v.1 and v.2, is incompetent if not willfully opposed to the interests of its voters?

So let&#039;s speculate on this upcoming recession - if it happens - and its effect on this president&#039;s polling and popularity. Just how far down could his ratings fall from where they are, when the only &quot;consumers&quot; that I can think of whose minds would be changed by a Trump recession are that vanishing group in the middle, who voted for him because they mistrusted Harris and the Democrats&#039; lefty rhetoric, but who are not die-hard Trumpists at all. What, maybe 10% of the electorate? 15%? Who knows? So his approval polling goes from ca. 48% now to maybe 35% by this fall. Is that going to change his policies or his continuing drive to do whatever keeps that 35% in a state of perpetual adoration?</description>
