2024 exit polls showing that Trump’s best demographic was Gen X

It’s not Gen Z that’s responsible for Trump being our president and our current authoritarian movement, it’s Gen X and Boomers. Look at the Harris versus Trump exit polling data.

In the past, we would do a Gulf of Tonkin and actually pretend that some “alleged” attack gave us causus belli. Now we just do it because Whiskey Pete is horny to blow shit up.

Tucker Carlson talking to JD Vance about Charlie Kirk is just a turducken of shitty people, but this exchange is still revealing about how the MAGA coalition is built on lies they’ve all been telling themselves.

It’s kind of funny to me that the Fed charts their balance sheet numbers in millions of millions of dollars instead of just using trillions.

“quantitive easing as far as the eye can see”

Back in the real world, the Fed’s balance sheet was actually smaller when Biden left office than when he was inaugurated.

Wreck ‘em, Tech! Although that got a little dicey there at the end… ☝️☝️

At least Bush had a plan, albeit a very poor one. Trump thinks that he can kill a few ayatollahs and everyone will rise up and agree on a new government, invite American businesses and rename Tehran after him without any further actions on his part.

I'm pretty sure Trump is going to abandon them no matter what. He's doing the same thing he did with Maduro--blow some stuff up, knock off a leader or two, than get distracted and forget the whole thing even happened.

“See you again in a few years” is one heck of a strategy. Has he truly no idea what power vacuums do?

Alex Thompson & @AlexThomp X.com NEW: @BarakRavid exclusively interviews Trump post-Iran attack: "I can go long and take over the whole thing, or end it in two or three days and tell the Iranians: 'See you again in a few years if you start rebuilding [your nuclear & missile programs]." USA Exclusive: Trump floats "off ramps" after attacking Iran From axios.com 11:27 • 2/28/26

Trump is telling the Iranian people to rise up against their government while also simultaneously signaling that he might just abandon them in a couple of days, depending on his mood. #Strategery

The number of people who have outsourced their critical thinking skills to gork really is astonishing.

I hope they’ll go all the way back to escalator day.

The plain truth.

But still jarring to see.

He may have the world’s most fragile ego.

He can’t stand the idea that he lost, and it’s gnawing away at him.

It’s kinda funny that the last time the Dow closed above 50,000 was the day Pam Bondi testified before Congress.

Everyone should listen to John Lewis’s final message to the people of America if you haven’t heard it (or even if you have). We’re definitely in a time that calls for “good trouble.” 1/2 youtu.be/_i2DSkAys-8?...

Based on the venue where Crockett had the event, it’s East 98th Street near I-27.

Her ancestors actually had a Hatfield and McCoy-style blood feud with another family that resulted in a couple of deaths a few generations ago, so she was definitely gangsta.
