The magical moral compass that conservatives can only access when the President’s approval rating is falling to 30%
It’s a warning shot to the administration. Trump is outliving his usefulness. The only one who doesn’t know that is Trump. Fox News needs to sell that to the base.
This is what the build up to an article 25 will look like. Fox has to lay the ground work. First they need to make it ok to criticize the president.
I wonder if trying to find redcap gear after donvict exits the stage will be like trying to find a Nazi uniform right after the fall of Germany…how many sudden “independents” will suddenly pop up everywhere? People that if they even remember Taco at all, will claim they didn’t really like the “tweeting”, LOL?
I wonder if those betting sites are offering a bet on the likelihood of a new “movement” that is astroturfed and given to all these sudden “independents”, too.
I’m actually wondering if the epstien bomb may be an additional part of it. IE if trump goes down, less focus goes on the files and they can be burried again.
I’d say a second hypothetical… obviously will be a conspiracy theory, but what if say in the near future trump is assasinated. Vance takes the throne… epstein file coverage goes down now that the primary implicated person is out.
Hell that could be the main driving force of the media backing trump. He was meant to burry them, but he made them a center focus

Isn’t there a loophole about open investigations?

“Beneath the office”??? The motherfucker is like a diseased rat living under America’s porch.
January 6th = normal president stuff apparently

They’ll claim that part is where their “fair” and “balanced” are.
They are ok with the racism, the fascism, the numerous sexual assault and rape cases, the rape conviction, the being a russian stooge thing, the insurrection, being Epsteins friend before and after he was convicted of being a paedo, the stealing of top secret documents, the six bankruptcies and numerous failed businesses plus numerous fines for being corrupt etc, the 34 felony convictions etc etc etc and so on but, BUT being a cunt about an actor and director is beneath the office?
How about, fuck you.
You never know when the mark will realize they’ve been conned … the cognitive dissonance lasts for so long, and then one day they start to use their brains again, just a little … and for some people this day was yesterday.
Somehow it amazes me that this is the issue. January 6th didn’t do it, the mass murder of South American fishermen didn’t do it, the sexual assaults and rapes didn’t do it, the crypto-coin bribery schemes didn’t do it … Jeffrey Epstein and the pedo ring got close, no doubt about it, but not quite … and finally, talking shit about a guy who died, that’s their line, that’s indecent, that’s unacceptable.
Well OK, that’s a weird world view, but that’s what they got.
I try to look at it from the standpoint of critical mass. We’re well past the observation that a bunch of people are working overtime battling dissonance, juggling an ever-growing schedule of contradictory information. It’s frustrating that the dam doesn’t break sooner, but eventually, it will break. If not for this shred of news, then for the next one, or the one after that. Eventually.
I think it’s more like all those other things got them closer and closer, and this last thing was the final straw.
But everything else he does is just fine.
Raping, bombing. All good stuff per fox.
When Trump falls, which everyone sees as imminent, they want to have some distance on him to maintain credibility. If they’re too close, they fall with him. So expect more of this. The billionaire class isn’t thrilled with Trump anymore.
It’s ah foooXxx NEwssSsSs Specialllllllll Ahlert!
Is cheeto mcpedo going to file an eleventy billion dollar lawsuit against Faux for being so mean to him?
When your fucking cheerleaders are criticizing you you know you fucked up. But unfortunately we’re talking about Trump here. All he’s going to do is suddenly decide that Fox News is no longer his friend and start criticizing them.
Hopefully he runs out of friends
Wait, what…this is the one.? Grab 'em by the pussy is ok?
Let’s apply the Kimmel rule. Trump should have his presidency cancelled for the horrendous shit he spewed about another’s death. If usa ever survives this they should put rules in place so this never happens again. If the rules are already in place then maybe america deserves all of this because they won’t even defend themselves from the known enemy within.
So this is why I heard Mom saying it was sad. She hasn’t seen his movies, but knows he’s super liberal and actually gave me whatever you call the vocal version of “side eye” and said “he actually came out as an atheist” as if I thought that was something rare or bad or unbelievable.
She somehow still has no idea about me tho, because I will dodge that conversation forever unless I have to directly and specifically address it.
She hasn’t seen his movies, but knows he’s super liberal
It makes me wonder how many MAGA drones are spitting on his life and legacy while also having core memories of movies like Princess Bride as formative, key pieces of entertainment in their lives.
I’m sorry you have to live like that. Living under religious oppression, regardless of how passive aggressive, is incredibly frustrating, disappointing, and degrading. I hope you find peace and independence so you can live your life free of other’s delusions.
I brought this up in another reply, but I’m probably finally moving back out this year. I had a good number of medical issues and surgeries causing me to be unable to work (being held together by staples and having to keep a large and bulky device physically tethered to my body for 2 weeks, for just one example) for the last free years is the problem.
But I’m past that and just waiting for the holiday season to be over to start again. I cannot throw myself back into the deep end of holiday issues at work right off the bat. I’ll already have less stamina than I did before, not starting work on the boss level lol.
Now since '21 the economy has gotten fucked up even more often than it has before that (I’m millennial), so I’m not looking forward to that but actually being able to have literally any spending money and freedom to just yell “fucking Christ on a damn cracker, shiiit” without consequence will be nice.
I’m glad to hear you have an action plan in place and wish you all the very best that you deserve! I’m sorry to hear about your health issues and am glad you’re finally past it. Life takes swipes at us and I admire your strength.
“he actually came out as an atheist”
I often wonder if the numbers of the religiously unaffiliated are not much, much higher, but some of the people are still afraid to come out of the closet…
Xtians always like to simultaneously beat their chest about their supposed numbers (and they are often wrong about them, I’ve noticed - they seem to consistently overestimate, by quite a lot, the percentage of Americans that are xtian) but simultaneously play the DARVO game - while they denigrate and try to ostracize and marginalize everyone not in their little book club, they act like it is THEY who are being “oppressed”.
If someone who is agnostic/atheist and has parents like that, or in-laws, etc…and they don’t want to be dealing with that all the time, well, I get it. They might just skip going to church and be mostly quiet about their positions on religion. And when they get polled, they might even list themselves as xtian.
Well I’m my case I’ve had to have multiple surgeries since about '21 to stay alive, and I’ve been unable to work in the mean time and had to unfortunately move back with them, and pretending to (well they know I’ve voted blue and hate Fox News) be semi neutral as far as being a “crazy leftist radical”.
But I’m about ready to start again soon, but I am not starting the process in the middle of holiday stuff, so hopefully '26 will be the year I can finally start living again. It feels like it’s similar in a lot of ways to what LGBT kids must go through while having Republicans for parents.
And given that one of my younger brothers is LGBT, using this same room before he got old enough to get out, he understands completely and says the same thing.
They are very very concerned. And they support him anyway.
They’re worried it was in fact politically motivated
