I honestly can't quite tell why Trump is.. doing things. All he really wants to do is build buildings and choose tile and shit.
Is this good? This is good right?
PA R’s left a bunch of narrow state house seats uncontested
I AM SORRY I CAN'T HELP IT
The GOP is consistently struggling to break 42 or 43 on a lot of generic ballot polling. I believe the highest number I've seen from a good quality poll was 45 (and that probably pushed leaners, because Dems were at 52 iirc).
The focaldata poll is basically bang on the average right now. RV generic ballot has D+6/7, and R's stuck in the low 40's.
Rs at 42 in the generic ballot. Again.
Generic Ballot Polling:
🔵 DEM: 48%
🔴 GOP: 42%

well that's very reassuring mr. secretary thank you
Being a marine and getting sent to the coast of Iran as an expedition force with only air support has got to be like a top 3 nightmare scenario as a marine, right
2 weeks?? Are you suggesting the war is not almost over and we have not won a glorious victory???
As I mentioned yesterday.. Trump's tone is especially concerning because it really sounds more like "Ugh I'm bored of Iran now and I don't want to deal with it because I have dementia and the attention span of a goldfish."
Nope as in "Yes this is correct they cannot do that with 2500 marines."
Nope.
It strikes me that there is a fundamental contradiction in the "We are moving 2500 troops to the ME and the Straight Of Hormuz would be open if Iran stopped shooting things." and "They're gonna surrender any moment you guys!!"
Honestly if my corpse is riddled with disco. I've done something right.
EXTREMELY HEALTHY AND NOT MAKING RANDOM AND TERRIBLE DECISIONS SIR
jesus christ they have families lmao
It strikes me that if they actually hike into stagflation, our orange boy is going to have a truly spectacular crash out
just one for the ages
seems cool, normal and good.
You have an excellent point here. We are doomed. Doomed I say
In general, everything we have right now is that seats up to around R +12 are going to be highly competitive if not out right favoring democrats if they're in the single digits.
This is uh, not a pathway to win a majority.. maybe not in either house.
I’m sorry, the suffering is infinite and things are genuinely fucking dire, but it is truly hilarious that the nazis ran into the middle east while screaming “logistics and diplomacy are fake and gay” and now they’re trying to ask everyone else to fix the strait of hormuz because tfw no more THAADs
Also:
*IRAN ALLOWED SOME SHIPS TO CROSS STRAIT, DEPUTY FM SAYS: AFP
*IRAN DEPUTY FM SAYS NOT LAYING MINES IN HORMUZ STRAIT: AFP
The reality: Dems are flipping R +9/10 seats in special elections by 2-3 points.
The Media: "Here's what numbers get wrong about Donald Trump"
There's also pretty good evidence that Dems are doing better with LV screens, so, uh.. this is even dumber than it initially looks.
*low whistle*
I think we have a small issue building in that Donald Trump is pretty clearly "over" the war in Iran and dementia grandpa wants to move onto other things.
Which is uh, well, it's not great.
More than "they didn't have a plan for Iran and hormuz" its that "they didn't have a plan if Iran kept fighting."
It's pretty clear the entire WH thought they could bomb shit, Iran would give them whatever terms to stop and they'd be done in a week or two.
