lol he started off ending the nuke program, ending missiles, ending the regime – now he's set his sights on the far grander task of getting things back to how they were before he started the war.

The Worst President Ever & His Incompetent Ass Kissers:
Fact Check: False
Harry Enten: Trump is 19 points below water. That is the worst-ever net approval rating Donald Trump has ever had. Let's just say that Trump is underwater—I'll use one of my favorite phrases—like the Little Mermaid.

Harry Enten: Trump is in the worst position of any 21st-century president in a second term. 45 points underwater—that is worse than Nixon just before he was forced to leave office because of Watergate and Bush in the middle of the Iraq War.

And Another Bigly Lie:
Craven Assholes:
The Outrageous House Republican Move to Enact Trump’s Vote Suppression Proposals By the Backdoor of Budget Reconciliation
House Republicans will bring forward this week a surprising and dangerous form of the voting restriction proposals that President Trump has been relentlessly pressuring Congress to pass for months. That act may well discourage or exclude millions of voters via draconian requirements for presenting proof-of-citizenship when registering, showing rigorous voter ID at the polls, or even purging voter rolls. Previously, Trump has pushed these notorious proposals under the guise of “election integrity,” termed the “SAVE America Act,” repeatedly and loudly, and they have even passed the House. But the proposals have failed in the Senate, for lack of the 60 votes needed to avoid a filibuster, thanks to unyielding Democratic resistance and an assist from some Senate Republicans. Trump has asked Senate Republican leadership to abolish the filibuster in order to get the legislation through, and even to fire the universally-respected Senate Parliamentarian, and has been repeatedly refused. It seemed dead. His threat is back, disguised in a new form.
Rep Darrell Issa goes on Kremlin-sponsored podcast to say Paul Pelosi had it coming, apparently. Really sick stuff. And par for the MAGA course. bsky.app/profile/atru…

Roger Marshall has really been gunning for the title of Dumbest Senator lately. Might have to wait for Tuberville to retire but he's in the running.
