Hello humans. My name is Commander. | was brought into the White House to live with my dad. Sadly it turned out | was untrainable as a White House dog.

So my dad didn’t shoot me - he gave me a new home with friends. Cause he is a decent human.

In November vote for my dad.

This nails it. Wish I had said it, but I didn't, so I'll give credit where credit is due: "If Russia stops fighting, there's no more war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there's no more Ukraine."

PS: Russian general is on the record this week: They're not stopping at Ukraine.

To clarify. Via Rupar:

Ian, you're wrong. I watched the speech. Eric unpacks the relevant context here. It's a very odd look to be spinning for like this.

Eric Columbus:

Wise conway thread below about Trump's "bloodbath" remarks. And per @metzgov transcription Trump said the effect on the car industry would be "the least of" the effects of the "bloodbath for the country." This is the opposite of just talking about cars.

Hi everyone chiming in about "context":

I want you to ask yourself whether you can picture/imagine/hear Carter, Reagan, Bush1, Clinton, Bush2, Obama, OR Biden stepping up to a microphone and intoning, FOR ANY REASON AND IN ANY CONTEXT, the sentence "It will be a bloodbath for the country."

It's a real, 920-page manifesto for neutralizing the civil service and concentrating power in the hands of an autocratic president.

It's the conservative plan to take over the country. It's what's at stake in this .

$6 million in forgiveness so far for public servants. Remember - the program was bipartisan - and said if individuals worked for ten years in a low-paying public school or health facility & made 10 years of loan payments, all on-time, then their balance would be forgiven.

Under Republicans, only 5-7% were actually forgiven--the program was blocked by Trump and former education secretary Betsy DeVos.

Administration fixed the issue.

What are 's goals if he is re-elected? Joe Biden wants to complete his goals on civil rights, taxes, and social services if he’s reelected. That is just a partial list that he has outlined for the next 4 years.

nails it, as usual.

From the Republican perspective, this election is not actually about policy or governance. It's about the GOP's project to change the American form of government from democracy to autocracy.
