'What the hell did he just say?' GOP Iran worries build after Trump speech.

Don't worry, 33% of America still will like their life depended on it...ironically.

Every election, every primary. In the primary, vote for who you love. In the general, vote against who you hate.

Never should have.

Yup, and crawling over broken glass to vote for Democrats, too.

I'm an Independent voter, that leans more progressive, that gave the benefit of the doubt to Republicans/Conservatives Pre-Trump, especially at the local levels. I would give them my attention to listen to their ideas/policies. A lot of times it was the typical "budget balancing, less taxes on home owners, and small business" type of policies. They prioritized certain areas, but nothing that was on levels of inhumane or coming from a bad place. Disagreeable, but not end the world type of ideas. But during this time with Trump and the GOP, I can't ethically give their ideas any thoughts, because of where they are coming from, with such a toxic morality behind them, and they are no longer about those older policies. People have given up empathy, and community for a ideology that is at the forefront of broken countries/societies from the past. It's not a matter of even personal preference, I'm stuck voting for Democrats and Progressives because they have actual functional and stable ideas. Even if they aren't perfect, it's a night and day difference in quality of policies, and you can build on top of a foundation of those policies. Republican/GOP/Conservative ideas are designed to tear down foundations, and the people behind them are so incompetent/corrupt that there's no chance you can build up anything on them, even their own fantasies of what they want a future America to be.

Did you vote GOP ever?

Yeah, it’s hard to think of what it would take for me to ever vote for a Republican for any office. Maybe if there was another Civil Rights-style party switch.

Ever doing it in the first place was just as dumb!

1979-2026. Never have and never will. Hell I’ve had to hold my nose voting for a lot of Democrats that I voted for. Still ain’t no stink a bad as repuliTurd stink.

This is what a dead or dying party looks like. They lost their way....it became a free-for-all and found anyway they could to profit off of crisis.

I resigned after his idiotic actions for covid. His Jan 6 stunt just cemented it … I am independent now! 👍

Oh they've said it plenty of times before. There's always some article about Republicans not liking something he said or worrying about something he's doing, but then they go on supporting him the next day. 

It’s probably the first time they feared for their own jobs in coming elections. War no one wants, an economy that is becoming nearly impossible to say is better than Biden’s even for the most delusional stans, people getting fired in the government, an approval rating at historic lows, every small election going against them and no signs of improvement on any of those fronts, obvious issues globally with long standing alliances, etc. This is all before you even talk about the Epstein files that they all likely know the actual contents of and also know that there is an increased likelihood of them being released because of all those issues. On the surface they will all try to keep a unified front because to them (R) > USA but the cracks are definitely showing a bit and they will probably try to distance themselves and scamper away like the rats they are as we approach mid terms.

>“A quick recap and a path forward would’ve been helpful. Instead, it was nonsense left for Sean Hannity to articulate.” There is no plan for Iran, and there never was. It’s just bomb shit and pray.

His [Easter lunch speech](https://newrepublic.com/post/208535/white-house-accidentally-easter-lunch-trump-speech) was worse: “We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of daycare. You got to let a state take care of daycare, and they should pay for it too. They should pay. They’ll have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it. And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up,” Trump said. “It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things. They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. “I can’t get a ballroom approved. It’s pretty amazing, right?” Trump also said in the speech. “If I was a king, we’d be doing a lot more. I’m doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king.” Trump went on to lament that it’s “unfortunate” that Americans don’t have the “patience” to take Iran’s oil. “We could just take their oil. But, you know, I’m not sure that the people in our country have the patience to do that, which is unfortunate. You know, they want to see it end. If we stayed there, I, you know, I’d prefer just to take the oil. We could do it so easily. I would prefer that, but people in the country sort of say, ‘Just win, you’re winning so big. Just win, come home,’” Trump said in the speech. “Tonight I’m making a little speech at 9 o’clock and basically I’m gonna tell everybody how great I am.”

Yep. Doesn’t even take all of them. Just a select few. There’s enough lame duck Republicans not seeking re-election to make the stand but they have no spine.

He's running on stimulants and prayers at this point. His ticker is only still going thanks to the thousands of dollars in IVs and supplements the culmination of all the best US healthcare can provide. All on our tax-dollars of course... yay. :/

Honestly, enjoy their f****** incompetence. Barr would have ‘ongoing investigations- can’t discuss’ Congress the whole time. Barr would be investigating the women who started with Epstein as children/ teens for money laundering, tax evasion, and trafficking- it would be a full on ‘Lolita’ story of these greedy and manipulative women who want to claim they are victims… and Epstein made out as the flawed victim who was easily manipulated by these women. Did he not send Giuffre to school?!  Republicans fucked up by making it about Democrats being all secret. A D*** Cheney or Bill Barr type would have kept it on Democrats- Bill Clinton, Gov of New Mexico, etc. and the evils of Liberals that made using sex to manipulate men okay for women. Ghislaine would have known to stay somewhere she couldn’t be extradited from- and been paid to do so (because she has her own stash of blackmail material ). I am sure Blanche has been diligently hunting down those records, but Bibi isn’t given up his copies. If JizzLane is not neutralized fairly soon (her back up videos found), Trump is going to need to issue a pardon… and Republicans will be even more tanked. Maxwell isn’t dumb, so I think she set Midterms as a time limit, and Iran war is about Trump hoping Bibi will help him out of this.  I honestly didn’t think Trump was that involved at first- now, I think he shared his daughter Ivanka with his ‘friend’. That explains Jared (Jared is not the type of guy Trump would like)getting his millions from the Saudis, ancting as envoy,  and the over reactions to everything. If Trump ‘just’ raped a 15 year old 20 years ago, they would just f****** spin it. She was willing, he didn’t know her age, Epstein tricked him.. whatever. There is an excuse for everything he has done (both sides!), and Republicans keep supporting him. Abusing Ivanka is the only thing (I think) can’t be exposed, and it would totally fit his personality disorder to abuse her.  Edit: She has also pulled her family away as her daughter aged into the early puberty age. 

Yup. We’re losing right now—even if Iran has a regime change tomorrow, there is zero benefit for the America people. And Trump and the Republican Party is doing so much damage to America’s global reputation that they’ve stacking up losses for decades to come.

>I mean good riddance to Khomeni these fuckers just murdered 45,000 of their own people in the streets Why does this number get higher every time someone posts it?

20? Those are rookie numbers. FDR and the New Deal Democrats held it for 60. Reconstruction 2029 should aim for 100.

>He’s just trying his hardest to get a blue midterm majority so large he can possibly be convicted by the senate and ruin the GOP for 20 years. Wild to think that his history is blanketed with instances like this, where despite his efforts (or probably in line with his plans of self-benefit), he causes so much irreparable damage that the entity in question is destroyed from within and can never return.

Everything that Trump touches dies. That will eventually include the GOP.

He'll have done at least 12 more things to be outraged at by then.
