This is an embarrassing "performance" by our Secretary of Defense.
You can now see why the American people have lost confidence in him. He's a "stuntman-tough-guy." That's it.

Watch the sweat on Pete Hegseth’s brow as Jon Ossoff takes him apart without ever raising his voice.
Now imagine Ossoff on a presidential debate stage.
Then imagine him in the Oval Office, looking Putin or Xi in the eye and pressing them with that same composure. x.com/TheMaineWonk/s…

Nobody wins if you end the fillibuster. It's what is preventing massive swings in one party's direction versus the other.
Think of it as a shock absorber against crazy ideas from BOTH sides. And, BOTH sides each have crazy ass ideas.
Whatever policy one side implements, the other party will do the opposite, the next time they gain power. And, the whipsaw will continue ad infinitum. The country bears the burden.
You. do. not. want. to. end. it.

End the filibuster.
Rapidly pass single issue bills.
Force Trump so veto them.
Voters will be pissed.
Elect a Democratic President in 2028 with a super majority and begin passing the agenda one-by-one.
This is how we win.

This. He’s the perfect definition of a narcissist.
Trump is a piece, not a player. He's smart and gutsy, but he's a narcissist, and narcissists have no long term plan. They are simply loyal to whoever has most recently topped their supply of praise and adulation.
This is why Trump keeps delegating to awful staff.

Agree. If only Trump could use his abilities in a way to bring the country / world together. To bring out the best in people. To not be so petty / vindictive and always take the bait.
He could have been a remarkable President. Instead he will go down as a President who squandered it all. Sad!

Never has so successful a politician so consistently spoiled his own and his party’s advantages as Trump, writes Barton Swaim

Momentum is building.
Former Republican Lt. Governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan: "JD Vance is unelectable as the president of the US. Anybody who's got an ounce of connection to Trump is going to be unelectable...
Trump has been the worst mistake this country's ever made and even Republicans are now saying it out loud” x.com/RealCrookedNew…

Well said. He belongs in the WWE. That’s where his skills would shine. Not as a President. We don’t need performative tough guy nonsense - we need serious people in that role.
Nice passage:
“Donald Trump is very good at running for president, but he is very bad at being president.…
“That Donald Trump is a unique political talent cannot be denied. But what kind of political talent is he, really? The president is now 2-0 running as an outsider trying to wrest the presidency from Democratic hands (2016 and 2024) but 0-3 in elections where he is already the president (2018, 2020, 2026). In an age of anti-incumbency, Trump is the epitome of the incumbent curse, a generational genius of charismatic negativity who has no idea what to do with the reins of power once he seizes them—other than marshal the machinery of the federal government to drive public opinion against him.”

Another way Trump screwed us.
Hunter Biden argues that the CLARITY Act could have secured enough Democratic support to pass if President Trump had agreed to its ethics provisions.
“The only reason that it didn't pass is because Donald Trump would not agree to the ethics portion of that bill.”

This is what derangement looks like. He is deranged to think he was this popular in the Republican Party. Sad sad sad.
This is what happens when you surround yourself with “yes” people who kiss you ass.

JUST IN 🚨: Trump trashes Fox News on Fox News and even takes a personal shot at Bret Baier.
Baier tried to push back, but Trump wasn’t having it.
BAIER: “Candidate quality, do you have regrets about Ken Paxton or Darlene Graham?”
TRUMP: “I had no choice. Ken Paxton, he’s a sn’t a fan of Cornyn. I just wasn’t a fan. I found him to be a disloyal guy. He was not a fan of mine.”
“You know, to be honest, when it wasn’t fashionable, he wasn’t there. You could say that about a lot of people. I could say that ABOUT YOU.”
[Baier lets out an audible exhale]
TRUMP: “When it wasn’t fashionable to be with Trump, he [Cornyn] wasn’t there. When it was fashionable, he kissed my ass, all right?”
“The Fox polls are terrible. You ought to get yourself a good pollster, because your pollster is the worst.”
BAIER: “But tonight actually the results are pretty close to what the Fox polls showed.”
TRUMP: “I don’t know about that. I can just say, speaking for myself, the results with Fox with me were wrong for 12 years. They have gotten me wrong for 12 years, but I don’t care. It doesn’t matter.”
Trump says he will accept tonight’s election results and work with Democrats if they’re willing to work with him.

Trump: Before the election. If Democrats win, the market will go to hell.
Result: Democrats destroy Trump, and the market has its best day two years.
Allow yourself to see Trump’s bullshit. It’s all fear mongering bluster. He’s a brilliant bullshit artist. That’s it.

This. 👇
#Trump & #MAGA got the smack-down they deserved.
They are finished. Why?
Because the election swung on the middle 15-20% of the electorate who are sick of Trump's politics of hate - rightfully, so.
They are not coming back.
MAGA can't win w/o this 15%-20% moderate/independent vote. It's done.
Time to turn the page.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

Time for @GovChristie. He called Trump’s bullshit years ago after working for/with him. He saw firsthand.
Allow yourself to see.

I can’t see that. MAGA is ashes. They need new blood. Vance and Rubio are radioactive.
