This is no different from the Bush years. Lying, making up stuff to start a war (removing dangerous dictators to liberate the people), tax cuts for the wealthiest. Great at creating crisis in order to enrich themselves. Total incompetence at governing (see current cabinet), remember the governing of Bagdad? who was sent to govern? total incompetents! It's Bidens fault. This is one crazy country!!!

in republican politics and because it seems to work, they haven't tried a new playbook. Learning to actually govern would be a fresh change on their part, but I'm not holding my breath.

Democrats usually run for office to serve their country and make a difference. Republicans run to serve themselves and their big donors, and they will do anything to accomplish their objectives.

5. But what does that have to do with the price of eggs?

Supposedly that was very important to voters in fall 2024.

I'd rather have some temporary high egg prices, and leaders who laugh or whatever their issue with Kamala Harris was. President Harris would serve Olympic medalists much better food than cold McDonalds. I think we'd have fewer people dying of Measles too.

And some of them, most unfortunately, prefer the escorts to be under-age.

Whatever Dem gets elected in 28 will have a mess to clean up but the American people will put Republicans back in charge cause they will cry all day every day about socialism and government overreach that will ruin the country.
