They didn’t comment on Trump openly ducking a debate with Harris something never done in modern history and if they did they mentioned it as part of Harris flagging momentum

The consistent cycle with everything Trump does is not that he has some sort of magic political skills or legal acumen. It's that he constantly fucks up and then has his allies in the media (both mainstream and right wing) and the judiciary bail him out by imposing a new false reality.

At the end I mean. Obviously the media cheered the reaction to 9/11 and the wars. But by 2007 he was done, his approval was in the toilet

Why him though? Why didn’t this happen with Bush for example?

nooneofcons.bsky.social•2 days ago

this absolutely did happen with Bush until he drowned New Orleans and tried to privatize Social Security

Yeah I followed my initial tweet up, but trump has already done way worse shit than that

The effects of it take time to become obvious. They're wrecking the machinery of government and people are going to notice. They're cutting personnel at the IRS in half during tax season. Elon Musk is actively fucking around with social security. They want to abolish medicaid.

We'll see

This shit is going to play out over the next couple of months much in the way an earthquake echoes across the crust of our planet, inducing aftershocks everywhere. People are going to be pissed.

And as Trump's own cognitive abilities have collapsed into impulsive senility, it's been met by a more aggressive and more-conservative-controlled media and more conservative and corrupt judiciary that balances it out.

Will be interesting to see what US headlines look like tomorrow compared to this

cabuendia.bsky.social•2 days ago

"US-Ukraine Tensions Rise as Zelensky Comes Under Pressure" or some shit probably

Milquetoast headlines not placing blame where it belongs, I'd imagine. A pathetic showing from US "reporters".

Christ, even Rupert Murdoch's UK rag is calling it out.

He's the living avatar of the nepo-baby. He's been handed everything he's ever wanted on a silver platter and he does nothing but complain about how unfair everyone is to him.

I think another thing to note here, long-term for US, is that Vance is fucking insufferable. He is way too much of a preening simp to ever be president. Please nominate him in 2028. I’m ready for 400 electoral votes
