It’s clear there are several groups of Trump supporters. Some of these can be picked off with careful messaging & brutal truths/nose-rubbing
First a financially-incentivised in-crowd: apparatchiks, party hacks, YouTubers & influencers. They're not stupid - eg they’ve seen the videos of Good & Pritti

So #Ratcliff says immigration must be managed, alongside investment in skills, industry & and jobs, so long-term investment is shared by everyone.
Well, maybe he can tell that to the 400 Grangemouth workers, he made redundant, or the people of Scotland who no longer have an oil refinery.

Completely wrong headline from CNN. The report from a 2006 police interview with Trump ANSWERS questions. Specifically, it proves that (no surprise) Trump is lying when he says he had no idea what Epstein was up to.
CNN should not perpetuate the lies.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.
BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

Raskin: To promote justice for the people, you've got to listen to the victims like the women seated behind you today. Those are just some of the hundreds of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's global sex trafficking ring. You still haven't with them.

If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill?
You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record.

Community Husting in Gorton and Denton, in a church hall, with free food. Organised by the community, for the community. Everyone gets two minutes to answer the questions, same treatment for every candidate, answering questions that were pre-submitted by the local community.

Surely there’s one maga on this site who can explain to me properly why - as just one example - the president of the United States needs a special account in Qatar, out reach of US policymakers and government, to hold money received for selling expropriated Venezuelan oil?
