Bill Maher has made up his mind, and then he back tracks to cherry pick some facts to support whatever his pre-drawn conclusion/bias already was. How is that different than MAGA conspiracies - process-wise?

Any word yet and the Department of "Justice" investigating Barron's ties to the Tate brothers and his interference with the investigation about their sex trafficking ring. It's never a surprise to learn that a Trump could be sex trafficking adjacent. SDE.

The Orban aligned President, Tamas Sulyok, has resigned following a Constitutional amendment passed regarding his tenure as president. Another impediment removed on the road to cleaning up some of the absolute rank corruption and election rigging that The Great Incompetent felt so near and dear.

I will repeat my "rant" about Lichtman. He's keys were fine for the age when they were created, and in the instant dispersed media landscape we now live in, they are less relevant. The fact (yes fact) that Biden was basically a very competent president, who brought in some far reaching policy and program initiatives that brought America back from the economic collapse we had under Trump, didn't matter, because Biden was a shitty campaigner. Biden was the most transformational president since Lyndon B Johnson (in a good way) or Reagan (in a terrible terrible way). Biden needed to accept the hard truth that he was a shitty campaigner/communicator (and old). If he could have just realized that and accepted it, he could have stepped back after one term and spent the last two years of his term promoting the next generation of leadership. He'd have been remembered as the happy generous warrior, rather than the old guy who wouldn't let go. Lichtman's keys don't factor in the importance of campaigning and vibes.

Personally I don't care if he doesn't give a fuck. I want him out on the campaign trail and totally visible attached to every Republican running for office, and forcing these apologists for incompetence to defend the tariff tax, the billionaire give aways, the corruption.

I've been thinking of this for a while now and don't know where to put it so I'll put it here. When the Democrats ran Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Kamala Harris in 2024 and both lost, the conclusion for many people was that the USA is not prepared to elect a woman. I think there is more to it than that. American's didn't elect the Clinton/Kaine ticket, or the Harris/Walz ticket. What else do these two tickets have in common - SDE. If the Democrats run a woman again for President, the Vice-President has to have BDE. The 2024 election was concerned mom (with her insipid partner) versus angry dad, and Americans chose angry dad (well, angry lying cheating dad). Not the first time that mistake has been made.

The ad that I saw felt like whoever created it was trying to echo the Janet Mills ad in Maine about Platner, but in Michigan there doesn't seem to be any there there. The ad is really cherry picking obscure fractions of quotes from years and years ago.

The current rant-fest. Is this pre-season training for the September/October shit storm of analysis we can expect from usted?

Snap out of it. Back to Bill Maher and his SDE. I think mostly because Maher's a comedian and he's making jokes that he's mostly gotten a pass for a lot of his right-wing cherry picking to complain about whatever small failing he finds in others.

Given?

You're saying - not to put anything in your mouth - that the MAGA bubble is a lazy place for outdated conspiracies? Where are the fresh conspiracies? Blaming Joe is so yesterday. And blaming Obama? That's older than The Great Incompetent.

Yay. Jeopardy. I'll take "Unhinged Conspiracies for $1000 Alex."

Lots of emotional support Tik Tok conspiracy videos dropping tonight. What do you think has triggered this snowflake reaction from the extremist right?

There's a current ad circulating in Michigan claiming that El-Sayed has trouble with women. Lazy politics leaning into cultural stereotypes. El-Sayed wrote an Op-Ed years and years ago acknowledging Michelle Obama's initiative on kids eating more healthy, saying it was a good effort and it probably wouldn't be successful - not because of her, because of the larger cultural and political context. This is being characterized as being "critical of Michelle Obama". The lazy cherry picking you'd expect from MAGA conspiracy nuts.

I'll assume you mean the opening when he says Trump has told "one trillion lies". Do you think he's told more than a trillion lies? As far as "Democratic Socialists" are concerned - the capitalist economies of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and various other European and Oceanic nations have been impacted by democratic socialist policies. And they remain - capitalist economies. Just not as unequal and oligarchically controlled as the USA economy. Here's a decent article on Bill Maher's pliable rightwing politics.

It really is embarrassing. They spout all these insane conspiracies about "vandalism" to the Reflecting Pool and when they have to provide real evidence in a real Court room - they fold like a cheap suit and have to admit there was no vandalism, just more shoddy workmanship from an overpriced no bid contract organized by The Great Incompetent.

No emotional support Tik Tok videos about Lindsay Graham's funeral service from the MAGA apologist?

The Great Incompetent is wrecking the economy just like he did the first time we were stuck with him in the White House. RELEASE: Trump’s Tariffs Have Cost the Equivalent of 2,800 Factories Nationwide - Center for American Progress

"What is Trump doing?" you ask. Fucking up the economy just like he did the first time he stained the White House with his occupation. RELEASE: Trump’s Tariffs Have Cost the Equivalent of 2,800 Factories Nationwide - Center for American Progress

Boo hoo snowflake President. He had a national challenge to address and totally fucked it up. He was handed a growing economy with real job growth, and he fucked it up. Never take responsibility for anything, it's the mantra of the extreme-right MAGA elite conspiracy purveyors.

What annoys me about "establishment Democrats" is they have this lazy attitude when it comes to candidates such as El-Sayed and defending their right to run for nomination, win nominations, and run in elections. There's this lazy knee jerk reaction of "anti-Israel" when it's about the more complicated and truer issue of "anti-Zionism". The establishment is just lazy to taking on the fallacy of mixing up a religion with a political movement, as if they were the same, when they are not. Lazy.

Unfortunately, currently in the USA, that wave is a wave of explosive diarrhea. Fitting for The Great Incompetent's "golden (shower) age" pissing on the American people.
