    Why do they even bother calling a cease fire?

    They must make money off of it somehow, some sort of insider trading rug pull

      Trump realizes if he doesn’t bring prices down then it is possible for all 20 GOP senate seats to lose the midterm election, at which point he goes from White House to Prison.

      Hell, if he can’t appease his base he might even end up with another insurrection but this time against him and nobody to stop it.

          I watched a clip of the interview where he made a statement about impeachment and his complaint was that it wouldn’t go anywhere, he didn’t say he wouldn’t vote for it.

          Even the literally braindamaged Fetterman, worst of the DNC, is better than any GOP.

            fetterman is also a pretty disengenous example. he won’t be able to win as a democrat again its just the senate terms are to long.

              It’s still relevant because there are only 20 GOP seats total for reelection in 2026, and we need 67 to remove Trump, so even though he’s here until 2028 we need his vote, too.

                yeah he is just this scenario where he is not acting the way he talked on the campaign trail and it coincides with literal brain damage. So I mean yeah we need him to vote right but he is not exactly a good example of a typical demcrat. Its kinda funny. I mean sad funny. That brain damage seems to correlate with leaning maga.

        They’ll lose anyway. They always do.

        In USA, we have a tag-team political system also known as “good cop/bad cop”; both using the other to blame their many failures on. It’s very important that they lose every four to eight years (at maximum) to maintain plausible deniability.

        There is some good-natured competition here and there, they are not the same, but they are both anti-union and pro-corporation.

        Wait and see

          The vote histories show a very clear line of separation of good and evil. Things are as bad as they are now because the USA has had 48 or less DNC senators for over 13 years and counting.

          Do you really believe that Obama would have invaded Iraq after 9/11, that Biden would be attacking Iran, tariffing every country, and refusing to aid Ukraine? If so, you’re a fool of the highest order.

          Kamala Harris’ plan to tax the rich would have been a huge turning point towards real progress in the USA.

            don’t forget trump one got rid of people who where in china looking for zoonotic viruses. Like the last one literally was pulled october or november 2019 it was nuts. also the clinton administration was well awar of al kaheida and was trying to get bush to pay attention but bush/cheney felt there was no reason to take anything the outgoing administration said seriously. It was like the start of the repulbican not doing diligence with presidential turnovers. trump moving it to both outgoing and incoming.

      This and the US/Israel have consistently assassinated the leaders at negotiations. We are a rogue terrorist state.
