You know how you can try a shampoo, see its effect over a month, then consider if that shampoo's effects are worth the price paid or if you might like to try another brand... ambulances are exactly the same!

Yep, they live entirely in a world of making up crap that their audience would like to hear. They make no sense because they don't have to. They just have to perform as if they were political thinkers, and always reach the conclusion the audience needs to hear.

It's amazing to me that after a decade of Trump and his GOP screwing up absolutely everything, people still insist they must have master plans in place. They really don't.

"We had lots of issues with the petition, and I will mention none of those issues now, and we changed none of those in the months this was delayed, and now I voted for the unchanged version, and I can't believe you've let me continue lying for this long."

What would be the consequences if this happened at a barbecue among friends or neighbours? What would be the consequences if a stranger on the street asked a question and someone replied like that?
There isn't a place in civil society where that wouldn't receive condemnation at the very least.

He hasn't realised the part that matters. He still believes all the dumb right wing fantasies about the deep state and the stolen election etc. He's just angry Trump isn't pretending to be part of that nonsense anymore.
He might end up leaderless and wander off from politics, but he's still crazy.

When I spend the time really listen to any of their actual arguments, putting aside the random nonsense and theatrics, it is shocking how deeply stupid their arguments are. They spout total nonsense and they just don't care.

Because he was going to lose the vote, so he pretended he supported voting for release. That's it. That's the extend of his planning there.
Next step he's gonna make up when he has to. Trump isn't a planner.

1) There were still on-going investigations through until 2024, preventing the mass release of the files.
2) Republicans took control of the House in 2022 and could have passed a discharge petition at any point from then until now, but never even tried.

The most incredible bit will be claiming they can't release anything because of investigations into Democrats, while also selectively releasing emails only about Democrats.

Shapiro claims it is about coverage of immigration, but also conceding it is unpopular because of mass deportation that no-one had thought he would actually do. He also claims immigration is one of Trump's popular issues, while also admitting it was costing Republicans in 2028.
Its all very silly.

Shapiro is so stupid.
His argument here is media coverage of Trump's immigration is unpopular, but his "actual" policy is popular. But immediately prior to that Trump was attempting mass deportations, and those are unpopular and are badly hurting Republican support for 2028.
Complete incoherence.

The lost jobs have nothing to do with AI, which is currently boosting jobs through its massive, unsustainable investments in data centres and program development. When that drops then we'll see real job losses.
Right now the lost jobs are a direct result of Trump's tariff chaos.

Graham is 'demanding' these people specify Trump's unlawful orders. Graham knows. He's complained about Trump's orders being overturned by courts.
He's seahorsing, demanding evidence of things he already knows are true. A sitting US senator reduced to the most pathetic of trolling techniques.

When the government is paying insurance companies to reduce the price of premiums, the insurance companies are big, fat and rich. But when the money is given to people to buy their own insurance off insurance companies, suddenly those companies aren't big, fat or rich. Weird.

Yep, same as Bush. They never openly changed their mind, certainly never admitted they had been wrong. They just quietly withdrew their support.
And of course, predictably fell in line when Trump came along, following the same processes as before.

Mace is deeply toxic, but her attacks on Mills have some real merit. The guy won a bronze star for saving two soldiers lives, but a subsequent investigation found the soldiers wounds weren't life saving and they didn't recall Mills even being there.
It shouldn't just be Mace calling this out.

Yep. In 1972 the scandal had broken, the burglary revealed and direct evidence tying it to the Whitehouse had been revealed, and Nixon's polling barely changed and he was re-elected comfortably. But by the time the televised congressional inquiries began, Nixon's approval had already collapsed.

It's possible, like Bush's approval collapsed in his 2nd term once he reached the lame duck period. I think there's psychology at play, people will deny reality to justify their support as long as the person still leads their tribe, but once they no longer command people start looking more honestly.
