America is strong because its leaders are strong. President Trump proves that every day. Naturally, his son Barron is more than ready to defend the country his father so boldly commands. Service is honor. Strength is inherited. Dog Bless Barron.

Let's be honest with each other for a minute and look at the landscape of American politics in this, the year of our Lord 2026. We aren't just fighting over marginal tax rates or parts per billion of carbon in the atmosphere, or whether we should build a bridge to nowhere anymore.

#4 Always remember, if STD happens to call someone "too f/g illiterate", just remind him that he's too f/g stupid to even recognize words that are spelled correctly, to wit:

#50 STD says, "too f/g illiterate to know how to spell unanimous..."

...in response to my #47:

The reviews are in and the verdict is unanimous

Quite obviously, STD "thinks" that unanimous is NOT spelled unanimous.

I believe that he is unanimously stupid.

But, I report, you decide.

;-)

#22 Eb, I believe that there's a much simpler explanation for the Harris/Walz loss in 2024:

Throughout the month of October, 2024, the Trump campaign (and associated entities) spent $300,000,00.00 on ads in all 7 swing states during televised NFL and NCAA football games. The topic of all of those ads? Then-CA Attorney General Kamala Harris' 2019 response to a question about a Trump administration dictate on gender-affirming (read: trans) care for federal inmates.

And the amount of money the Harris campaign spent countering those ads in the swing states during NFL and NCAA football games? You know, to point out the truth that she was simply responding to a question about a Trump administration dictate on gender-affirming for federal inmates? To counter the deceptive, the lying-by-omission ads run by Trump & company?

Zero dollars

The efficacy of this strategy was born out election night, 2024, when Steve Kornacki was calling individual counties (starting with Pennsylvania) and highlighting that the Harris/Walz ticket was falling short of votes as opposed to the votes in the 2020 election for the Biden/Harris ticket. His reporting was, in effect, a death by 1,000 cuts for Harris/Walz.

Trump & company knew that all it would take would be the suppression of Biden votes in 2024 by just a point or two for Trump to carry those counties, all 7 swing states and, ultimately, the election. They judged, correctly, that men - men of color and white - would be turned off enough by the "pro-trans" Harris that they voted for Trump, or didn't vote at all.

Either way, mission accomplished.

#7 "...it's Trumpy's government data so it can no longer be trusted to be anywhere close to accurate."

For which we're all indebted to you, Donnerboy, for this:

The Donnerboy Rule:

I need two (2) independent sources** from any Trump sycophant for any 'proof' they offer before it is even considered, much less replied to.
**Any source that contains "Trump's FBI said...", or "The DOJ announced..." or "The White House proclaimed..." - or any iteration thereof - will immediately be considered not an independent source. - Try again.

#129 | #130 Oh, here we are ...

History doesn't necessarily repeat, but it does rhyme sometimes.
