Time to re-up this timeless classic. Trump relentlessly attacks what he wants to discredit. He has never gotten over his reelection loss and never will. He will forever attempt to discredit it rather than admit he failed.

World’s biggest sore loser who attempted to extort Georgia to find him votes in 2019, is now attempting to cast doubt again. Republicans who wanted to just move on in 2020 will now turn face against the very process that elected them. It’s literally disgraceful.

A real estate guy with no national intelligence experience…being nominated by a real estate guy with no concern for our country’s national intelligence…at the expense of the security of our fellow citizens is even more incredibly stupid than the other stupid decisions Trump has made recently.

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 3mo ago“[Donald Trump] has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country.”
Every time he opens his mouth a democrat increases in the polls.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoTrump on his military advisers: "I was told this is a very dangerous mission. They didn't say it's a foolish mission, they said 'We're gonna be sacrificing hundreds of people to do this.' I just felt it was worth it."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9mo agoMike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"
The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.
The more Republicans argue that to oppose Trump at No Kings protests is to “hate America,” the more they prove the protesters’ point. For too much of the GOP, “L’État, c’est moi” has effectively evolved into “Trump is the state.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
As Republicans slander No Kings rallies, the party is proving progressive activists’ point
Centuries after “L’État, c’est moi,” Republicans are putting their own twist on the adage: “I am the state” has effectively become “Trump is the state.”

“…something we’ve always wanted to do” - Republicans are relishing the shutdown they drove the country to with draconian cuts affecting millions
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10mo agoMike Johnson on the shutdown: "It can provide an opportunity to downside the scope and scale of government, which is something that we've always wanted to do. So in a way Chuck Schumer has now handed the keys to the kingdom the executive branch under President Trump."
Lindsey Graham thinks that restoring ACA subsidies so hard working Americans aren’t priced out of their health insurance is “kind of stupid, really”. Note to the five (5) democrats currently running against Graham…The opposition ads are just writing themselves.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 10mo agoSen. Lindsey Graham tells me he expects a shutdown to last until at least next week. "I don't think anything's going to happen until the House gets back," he says, predicting Democrats will then start to peel off. "The demands by Schumer and Jeffries are kind of stupid, really."
