You post this with a straight face implying Biden- who inherited Trump
45’s mess and cleaned it up, is some how on part with Trump. Can’t take that seriously. |

The new agitprop strategy is to blame “both our political parties” because they know Trump is so deep in the hole nobody besides the MAGA cult is voting Republican this fall. It’s a futile attempt to depress turnout. |

A reminder: when you accept the "both parties are the same" rhetoric, you lose any yardstick to measure anything. You will now fall for whatever BS is happening. Only one party has tried to take apart our democracy, at multiple times and multiple ways. Advocate for change and criticize Democrats, absolutely, but don't stop participating. Be a thorn, not a cigarette stub that was thrown away. |

Agree except it’s not really new. They deployed this one all the way back in the Hilary days. It’s how we got Trump in the first place |

Exactly, this is the consequence of the "liberal media bias" machine R's set in place in the 90s. It was bs then. It's bs now. The minute I hear a "both side" type of thing for some issues, I turn it off. Also see this season's first couple episodes of The Boys. It's an over the top show, for sure. And fiction. But Voight's use of disinformation to skew and brainwash the public is so spot on I almost cried. |

WTH did Biden fix? He imported 12 million poverty cases ILLEGALLY by circumventing the nation's immigration laws set by congress, and broke the back of state safety nets. Crime skyrocketed under him as he attacked law enforcement. He made us a joke around the world which no one respected. He had a disasterous withdrawal from Afghanistan and left the Taliban with billions in military hardware and transmtted our weakness to everyone watching which then led to Ukraine and Israel being attacked. He was a disaster. |

Trump reduced troop presence in Afghanistan to 2500, released 5000 Taliban fighters, and said "good luck". And continuing to say "he made us a joke around the world which no one respected" is one of Trump's corny lines. BTW, we've never been less respected than we are now (by a CONSIDERABLE margin). |

' Wow. Look at this Faux News MAGA derangement from the PP... You’ve stacked so many distorted talking points in one rant it’s hard to know where to start, but let’s go in order: First, the "12 million illegals" line is made‑up math. Border data under Biden shows about 7.2 million encounters at the southwest border through January 2024, not 12 million illegals showing up and becoming residents. So the "12 million" is a gross exaggeration. But even there, dropping down to 7.2 million, that "7.2M encounters" figure includes repeat crossers and people who were removed, returned, or expelled, not just "let in." DHS data and independent fact‑checks show roughly 2.5 million were released into the U.S. and about 2.8 million were removed or expelled in initial processing, with millions more still in proceedings, not remotely "12 million imported" into the interior. So wherever you got that "12 million" number from it's not even close, it's a gross exaggeration and the real number is a fifth of that and even at a fifth of it doesn't mean they got to stay or that the plan was for them to stay. On top of that, let's talk about your racist "poverty case" bullshit - immigrants, documented and undocumented have higher labor force participation, start more businesses per capita, and fill jobs in agriculture, food processing, elder care, and other sectors that native‑born workers largely refuse to do at current wages. Your racist "poverty cases" smear ignores the basic economic reality that the U.S. economy has been adding millions of jobs while unemployment stayed near historic lows. Second, your "crime skyrocketed" claim is pure propaganda. National crime data show no Biden‑era crime explosion tied to immigration or his policies. Many of the right wing's viral "Biden crime wave" claims distort and misuse ICE data that actually cover decades of criminal records, not just people who arrived under Biden. If anything, the right has been caught repeatedly misrepresenting numbers to stoke fear. And the idea that Biden "attacked law enforcement" while pumping billions into local public safety, community violence intervention, and DOJ grants is just lazy, pathetic sloganeering. Third, Afghanistan. It was Trump and Pompeo who went behind everyone's backs and met with the Taliban to sign the Doha Agreement in 2020, committing the U.S. to withdraw all forces on a fixed timeline, without including the Afghan government or our NATO allies in the negotiations, and he ordered troop drawdowns and shuttered infrastructure that left Biden with a skeleton crew of barely 2,500 personnel, and left him with a collapsing Afghan state. Yes, Biden owns the chaotic execution, but pretending he invented and engineered the withdrawal is dishonest. On equipment: the repeated "billions in U.S. gear left for the Taliban" ignores that most of it, in fact $7 billion in equipment was no longer US equipment, it was equipment that had been transferred over the span of 20 years to Afghan forces. It was theirs, not sitting in U.S. depots, and much of it was old, degraded, or disabled. The U.S. removed or destroyed what was still sensitive or high‑end; fact‑checks have repeatedly debunked viral videos claiming endless rows of "abandoned" U.S. armor that were actually filmed at U.S. storage sites in California, not Afghanistan. Finally, the idea that Afghanistan "caused" Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or Hamas’s attack on Israel is pure fantasy and revisionist history. Putin had already been massing forces and signaling designs on Ukraine for years, including seizing Crimea in 2014 under a completely different U.S. administration. Hamas’s ideology and Iran’s regional strategy also long predate Biden. Authoritarians test the West whenever they see opportunity, such as under Bush (Georgia 2008), under Obama (Crimea 2014), and guess what - under Trump too (continued Ukraine war, Iran attacks, North Korea tests). The difference is that under Biden, the U.S. had actually organized and sustained a broad coalition to arm Ukraine and support Israel’s defense while trying to constrain escalation. Policy that Trump ignorantly bumbled away from, just as how he stupidly tore up the Iran deal that Obama had negotiated. If you want to criticize Biden, do it on real policy choices. But this grab‑bag of fake numbers, debunked Afghanistan myths, and pop‑psychology about "projecting weakness" collapses the second you put actual data and timelines next to it. Your rant was completely pathetic and far removed from reality. Do better. |

+1 hysterical the ^PP even posted that part. Trump is hated around the world except for places like Russia. What does that tell you? The world has lost respect for the US under Trump's leadership. |

Trump made things 1000X worse which is why his approval ratings have tanked, and there will be a blue wave. #buyersremorse |
