Comment on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill

  From the rape and pedo stuff – absolutely. The outcome of focusing on Clinton is politically neutralizing and has likely made everything else contained irrelevant background news. It is humiliating to Trump, but not actually politically damaging at all. That is a perfectly calculated distraction to focus the public on by design.

    Nah, it’s a great booster meme for the popularity of this scandal, at least on the left side. It keeps it going in people’s minds and that’s all that matters in the long run because Trump and his cronies were hoping people would forget, and it hasn’t. Many former Trump supporters cite the Trumpstein files as one of the issues that drove them away from MAGA.

    Just as an example, JD Vance fucking couches has done jack for anything other than people making a fool out of him. Do you really respect him after that meme came out? I sure don’t. And I still think he’s a menace.

    Not politically damaging? Have you met his base? They are going to snarl at this, and he’s powerless without them!

      Have you met his base? They are not going to care about this. Or the pedo proofs. Or anything for that matter.

        Not from what I’ve seen. Granted, it’s filtered through leftist sources, but the heart of the matter is that he has been losing popularity and some people like MTG have done a 180 solely based on this. You can tell some yokels are uncomfortable and I say that’s a small advantage you can’t overlook. It’s a crack in the shining armor.

      It is not a crime and will blow over in time. His base has no depth or memory. This will be, Bill asked for it and how could he say no.
