Let's not forget that they won the election. Which means the Dems LOST the election. Which means they need to reexamine a lot of things and probably tell a lot of their current leaders to stand aside and shut up and let new people take the lead. But, so far I'm not seeing them do that. I'm inclined to think that's just as moronic and just as selfish.

Oh for sure. The stupidity is on both sides. If the dnc was smart, they’d be propping up people like Shapiro and beshear for the next election. Either would win the presidency in an absolute landslide. Instead, they will probably have newsom and aoc as their two primary heroes. It’s incredibly easy to win the presidency nowadays due to the stupidity on both sides, I swear both the rnc and dnc are the same people that run the ncaa. They are that dumb

It's strange: when both parties nominate the worst possible candidates, great things don't always result.

Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone.

Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

The incompetence, and risk to our armed forces, is staggering.

I like Shapiro more than Beshear but either will do. The problem I see is will the Democrats accept either in a primary? The party has moved so far left. Look at the crowds AOC and Bernie are drawing. I’m old enough to remember when people deemed those two as nuts. Also remember when Clinton removed 12 million illegals and the party was fine with it.

No they won’t accept either in a primary for the same reason that maga has won primaries. Our country is full of idiots and digests so much of their own crap. Independent voters/moderates win presidential elections.. extremes win primaries.

11 of the top 13 one day gains in Dow history have now occurred with Trump as President.

Now THAT is how you prove the old saying about lies, damn lies and statistics!

Yep, which is why the country is looking at a Vance or Trump 3rd term vs AOC in 2028.

11 of the 15 biggest one day losses have also occurred under trump. The volatility with the stock market reflects his overall peformance as president… chaos and unbalanced.

Well, sure, but that's an INCONVENIENT fact. LOL

Unless Trump says something really stupid overnight, looks like we might get top Dow gaining day #12 out of 14 tomorrow. So....about 10% chance it actually happens!
