It figures you'd be peddling yet another conspiracy theory echo on the AM...

Does anyone on the right ever really listen to Donald J. Trump? Btw the J stands for genius.

Any thoughts about Dean Phillips and his centrist message?

Specifically, I thought the quotes published in the Guardian were really biased.   All sorts of quotes that can be summed up as: "bad timing" or "nice guy, but why is he throwing away his political career when Biden is the anointed one."  Nothing indicating any support for Philips at all.  Of course the Guardian article is the first and only thing I have read about Phillips so far.  Maybe other outlets are not so cold for him?

"Maybe other outlets are not so cold for him?'
They are.
The poor guy held a town hall last week and he got idiotic questions from a couple of people who didn't like his answers and stormed out of the meeting and that's what the press covered. Questions like: "Why aren't you supporting a ceasefire when mega millions of Palestinians are being systematically and in genocide removed from our planet?" And he when calmly answers that it's a war against terrorists and perpetrators of Oct 7th, another "attendee" yells out "He's just gaslighting her" and then proceeds to demand to know "why he isn't calling the KKK terrorists and bombing them?" These idiots need a wakeup call to sanity since they evidently think Trump will do better...

I simply cannot fathom that Trump is a viable possibility to win the Presidency back next year and is leading in some polls...

"I simply cannot fathom that Trump is a viable possibility to win the Presidency back next year and is leading in some polls..."
That ought to be an understatement for any thinking and rational human being. Add to that the fact that Trump is facing 91 felony counts and anyone who would vote for him is a no brainer...

In 5 1/2 seconds, Victor Davis Hanson just annihilates the Left in this video. He doesn't hold back and he is spot on

Anyone who think someone "just annihilates the left" IN FIVE AND HALF SECONDS" has clearly lost their marbles...

On edit: Lord knows they usually need editing. (insert your weird little passive/aggressive winky or smiley emoji here, although we sure could use a rimshot emoji around here, too, as it would be useful).
Reminds me of comments Chris Christie just made to a pro-Trump crowd at the GOP summit in Florida:
"Your anger against the truth is reprehensible."
“The problem is … you fear the truth,” he told the crowd. “You want to shout down any voice that says anything different than what you want to hear. And you can continue to do it."

If you could you would, but unfortunately for leftists like you and the rest of the Democrat party, he's telling it exactly as it is with the left.  smile
Like the rest of us, I don't feel like wasting 5.5 seconds to do it...

Add to that the Bedouin battalions:
"IDF Bedouin troops vow to eliminate Hamas"
"Twenty-seven days ago, Hamas terrorists came here and committed heinous acts, killing babies and women – actions that contradict our religious teachings," the message said."
"We are here to eliminate you one by one. Prepare yourselves, hide in your tunnels, because we are coming for you. Do you want to become a martyr today? No problem."

"Hamas tunnels, weapons found near amusement park and university'
I liked the comment following the article:
"Pretty funny--Gaza is supposedly an "open-air prison" or alternatively a "concentration camp" according to most of the world's media, and yet they have an AMUSEMENT PARK!! That's quite the humanitarian crisis, or that other Jew-hater's favorite word, "plight."
"Explain that one, anti-Semites."
"The Palestinians are the greatest fraud in the history of mankind, supported and abetted by the UN and EU."
