Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

It would in fact be throwing 10s of millions people out in the cold without any clothing. Again, how would this make sense to the Democratic party???

So let me get this straight: the BBC, which has been massively and obviously biased in favour of Tories and Reform since at least 2015, is apologising and the DG is resigning for… ‘anti Trump and anti Israel bias’??? Make it make sense

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!
