President Trump 2.0: The NEW one and only politics thread

[Michael_ Gee]

Democrats in Congress, at least some of them, have exploded with anger at Trump lots of times. The key phrase in that sentence is "in both parties."

Instead, it'll be some strongly-worded statements .

The Dems need to pile on. They need to not back off this the way they backed off on calling Vance "weird." They have absolutely forking nothing to lose and possibly some to gain by just being 24x7 relentless on this.

Will they do anything about it? Doubtful.

Susan Collins will be very concerned and raise her eyebrow.

Of the 13 House districts with the largest estimated Social Security payouts in 2023 based on the December 2023 figures, 12 were represented by Trumpists. Yet Donny and the Muskovites seem eager to slash benefits.

I'm sure they're working on the latest on Hillary's emails and Hunter Biden's laptop.

Good news! Susan's no longer "very concerned." She's now "extremely troubled."
