Dems continue to fail to make an ad about trumps' moronic pricing math

YOU CANNOT DISCOUNT A PRICE BY MORE THAN 100%

MAKE AN AD, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY
Trump claims he's slashing drugs prices by "200 percent, 300 percent, 400 percent, 500 percent, 600 percent, 700 percent, 800 percent. Nobody has ever heard of it before."

What a stupid, weak question

Should have asked:

The president called Gov Walz "retarded." When is the president going to apologize to all developmentally challenged Americans and their families for using that term? Will you call on him to do so right now?
Q: What are your thoughts on Trump calling Gov. Walz "retarded"?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, that's not the word I would choose. I think his reaction was probably a spontaneous one to the enormous amount of fraud that was announced there

Ukraine gives up land: no deal

Ukraine banned from joining NATO: no deal

Ukraine's military size limited in any way: no deal

Russia doesn't pay reparations for invading Ukraine: no deal

Russia doesn't return all the children it kidnapped: no deal

Narrator: Habba's parents sought "safe harbor" in America from Iraq
Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

If you really want a pardon, all you have to do is spend whatever it takes to get 5 minutes with trump at mar a lago and then praise the shit out of him and explain (or lie, he'll never check) you were "treated unfairly" by activist democrat/biden judges

Poof! Pardon comin' right up

You're in the hospital recovering? You can't vote

You're in the military on a mission? You can't vote

You're performing a 10 hour surgery to save a child? You can't vote

You work 3 jobs and can't get the time off? You can't vote

Just shut up forever with this one day vote stupidity
Cleta Mitchell and top anti-voting activists met earlier this month to discuss plans to severely restrict early and mail voting. Mitchell disclosed she is working with state lawmakers to ensure most voting occurs in person on Election Day at precincts.

on what planet would anybody with a functioning brain say there was progress?

Ukraine giving up land, Ukraine military size throttled?

Yeah, sounds like progress if you're rooting for russia

otherwise, it's just absolute nonsense
The Trump administration had begun to make progress on Ukraine—but the peace plan that just leaked throws it all into doubt, Thomas Wright argues.

so predictable and pathetic that tump and maga bozos are saying this a "trump is gonna so put this Mamdani guy in his place if he tries to showboat" meeting instead of a "cool let's work together to make NYC great" meeting
“New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani heads to the White House on Friday to meet with his metropolis’ most powerful native son — a man who threatened to cut off federal funding to the city if Mamdani won.

The meeting will test them both.”

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani faces a challenge at the White House: convince President Donald Trump not to cut federal funding to NYC — without bowing to him or abandoning his own values.

Coming together where? When?

Exactly who is working on it?

What are their names?

Who's in charge of working on it?

When is it coming?

Republicans have been saying the same nothings for 10 years
JD Vance: "I think that we have a great healthcare plan coming together."

Perfect example of what social media algorithms do to vulnerable people looking to
1-fit in
or
2-become famous / be part of the news
or
3-have some kind of impact -here, politically, I guess
(or some combo of all 3)

Echo chamber/misinformation can really rot brains and make people do insane things
SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.

Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

wait I thought the government using revenue it took in from taxpayers to give out to other taxpayers as a (checks notes) handout was income redistribution and therefore socialism, so how come all republicans and deep end magas aren't freaking out and speaking out against this idea
On Sunday, Trump said he has “had personal talks with some Democrats” about his idea to give cash directly to consumers to pay for their health care coverage, but no Democrat will admit it is them.

So I guess we have a mole, or the liar lied. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Who is the Democrat talking with Trump on health policy?
The president said Sunday that he’s 'talking to some Democrats' about alternatives to extending the enhanced ACA subsidies.

this is the kind of brainstorm bullshit people bring up at the very very first meeting about a new project. Just ideas spit into the air without anything behind them

he needed to be asked "exactly who is working on a new healthcare alternative? Who is leading the project?"
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

"negotiate a healthcare" with who? to do what?

the same system, only different?

trump has no ideas, no plan, no nothing and never has

journalists continue to fail to ask EXACTLY WHO IS WORKING ON A NEW HEALTHCARE PLAN

Daily Show should ask each and every congress member if they're working on it
Markwayne Mullin: "Affordable healthcare doesn't work. The Democrats had a community organizer in President Obama that tried to sell us a bill of goods. It isn't working. So let's let a business guy that actually knows business help negotiate a healthcare for the American people."

somebody has to come up with a new term for this never ending hilarious legal incompetence

Texas getting its gerrymander blocked while California and Virginia eliminate 8-9 Republican seats would be a stupendous, comical outcome.
"But when the Trump Administration reframed its request as a demand to redistrict congressional seats based on their racial makeup, Texas lawmakers immediately jumped on board."

So not only are they smuggling the family cow over the border, they’re somehow walking this cow a thousand miles to some rancher’s ranch in Montana and getting their family cow to infect the rancher’s cows.

Just the stupidest people alive
Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent said the reason beef prices are so high is because immigrants from South America are bringing their cattle with them as they come here and they are infected with diseases.

How do they train the cows to climb the border wall?😅

I would love to be a fly on the wall for all the "is it time to jump off the trump train" conversations between republican congress people and their spouses

"but the trump train is so so so good!"
"but do I have any morals?"
"but all these insider stock tips!"
"but do I even care about Epstein"
Thomas Massie to his Republican colleagues: Donald Trump might be able to protect you now, but someday he'll be gone—and you'll have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release the files.

The amount of energy people have to spend to read and decipher these long flailing trump rants could provide free electricity to the entire west coast of America for 17 years
Trump: "Mike Braun, perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes. Considering Mike wouldn’t be Governor without me (Not even close!), is disappointing! Any R that votes against this important redistricting, potentially having an impact on America itself, should be PRIMARIED"
November 16, 2025 at 4:22 PM
journalists will absolutely fail to ask

"why aren't you investigating trump, his name appears more than anybody's in the latest pile of documents"
Four months ago, Bondi's DOJ declared that Epstein files warranted no further investigation. But it took Bondi four hours to open an investigation anyway once Trump demanded--and only into Democrats @ericalgj.bsky.social @glennthrush.bsky.social @alanfeuer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

hilarious to imagine him running this post by some peons and they're desperately trying to get him to change it to be less incriminating but he just steamrolls them and says this is perfect and they eventually say yes sir, it's great, go for it, that will show them
Trump just now: “Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat's problem, not the Republican's problem! …Don’t waste your time with Trump. “
November 14, 2025 at 2:50 PM
This could be Republicans' only/best chance to make a clean break and punt trump

Very easy to defend voting yes and let the chips fall where they may, and say "well, if he's involved pr he participated, then he has to face justice and/or voter judgment, Americans have the right to know etc"
NEWS: White House is preparing for at least 100 Republicans, possibly more, to break from Trump and vote to release the Epstein files when the vote happens next week.

dems should be standing right beside her with the papers to sign so the nanosecond after she's sworn in, she signs them, and then they hand them to Johnson's flop sweaty face
Adelita Grijalva is being sworn in at 4:00 today. She can vote on the Epstein discharge petition any time after that.
