I have a fond memory of the Hellsite where a conservative called me a child for not understanding Trump would be reined in by, I shit you not, Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan.

We're only half a year in, but is there any contest about worst VP in modern US history? (Exempting pre-Civil War Aaron Burr, John C Calhoun, Andrew Johnson.) Agnew was a crook but not such a toady. Quayle was way more substantive (and less grand-standing) than Vance.

Unless you’re in the top 10% of earners, Trump’s policies make you poorer: the “big beautiful bill” and Trump’s tariffs will leave the bottom 90% of Americans with fewer resources.

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

Right, there was a lot going on there and all of it horrid. Trump was spewing racism. Trump was spreading misinformation. Trump was doing Elon's bidding. Trump was shitting all over America's standing. Also, he was still very old. So that's important.

According to Republicans, tax cuts for the rich are “pro-growth, pro-family, and pro-America,” while the Inflation Reduction Act is “corporate welfare for progressive special interests." The class warfare-style language is familiar. So are the lies about their “big, beautiful” bill.
