Trump disapproval at Real Clear Politics soars to 55.6%

 

OMG, speaking of 1984's holy trinity, lawyer Robert Barnes names the three stooges OG NeverTrumper Tucker Carlson, former client Alex Jones, and alt-right Steve Bannon the holy trinity of true MAGA lol

 Just another Manic Monday.

Real Clear Politics platforming Barnes tells you it really is 1984.

Does Israel have a stronger supporter in the world than Donald Trump? Is he a political pariah, too?

How Israel Lost the Young Right

Robert Barnes, X

 

... the latest smear-and-censor campaign against true MAGA (few could be more MAGA than @TuckerCarlson @RealAlexJones & Steve #Bannon, the holy trinity of OG MAGA), only further sabotages their objectives. The Israel-special-relationship crowd is politically DOA, and rapidly becoming a political pariah in both parties w/ the new generation of voters. No amount of browbeating, gaslighting, astroturf bought-off pr campaigns, or smearing-and-censoring campaigns will change that. It is a crash course in how to destroy yourself in quick order. 

 

Disapproval with Trump hits 53.2% in Real Clear Politics Poll Average, the fourth new high in just 9 months and the highest level of the second term to date

 

Guess which of these two headlines is up at Real Clear Politics this morning

 Trump Is Weaponizing the Government Against His Enemies. It Doesn’t Mean He’ll Succeed.

Biden's Disturbing Weaponization of DOJ

 

 

 

 

Disapproval of Trump is at the highest level of his second term at 53.1%

 

This isn't news this morning at Real Clear Politics

 There wasn't one single story about it.

 

Meanwhile at Real Clear Politics, Democrats are hemorrhaging voters but consistently continue to win the generic ballot lol

 

Real Clear Politics rewrites headlines to make Trump look better

Words have a meaning, and Real Clear Politics wants you to think Donald Trump intimidated Senator Thom Tillis to disappear

NC GOP Senator Tillis Announces Resignation After Clash With Trump

Fox News is almost as bad:

 Thom Tillis announces retirement from Senate after clash with Trump 

The truth: ... The North Carolina Republican announced on Sunday that he would not seek reelection in the 2026 cycle. ...

Thom is still there, hopefully to vote Nay again today on Trump's big, ugly charade of a reconciliation bill, and will be there for eighteen more months, and there's not a damn thing Trump can do about it.

He will be a potent second potential Nay vote in the US Senate on everything with Rand Paul. 

 

Because the BBB is a GOP Christmas tree of policy-change goodies masquerading as a reconciliation bill

This was taken down pretty early this morning by the suck-ups at Real Clear Politics. I guess the bosses come in a little later than the help. 

This is arguably one of the best discussions of what is really going on that you will find. 

 

The Parliamentarian Comes for the Beautiful Bill

David Dayen, American Prospect

 

A couple dozen provisions have been removed. No ruling yet on the biggest one, which could mean $3.7 trillion in fake ‘savings.’

The estimate of the Senate Finance Committee’s tax provisions reflect a cost of $441 billion over ten years, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation’s estimate over the weekend. How, you might ask, could the Finance Committee have extended all the Trump tax cuts, expanded some of them, added a bunch of other new tax cuts, made some temporary business tax cuts permanent, and still only cost $441 billion? The trims to clean-energy tax credits and other rollbacks, you would presume, weren’t SO costly that they would nearly wipe out all of the costs!

 

The answer, friends, is a big gimmick known as the current policy baseline. Senate Republicans are claiming that, because the Trump tax cuts are in place now, as current policy, it costs $0 to extend them. An analogy would be if Congress passed a bill to institute Medicare for All for one day, at the cost of $4 to $8 billion, depending on your estimate, and then the next day they passed a bill extending M4A permanently, which would cost … nothing. The same Republicans who would scream bloody murder at that dastardly maneuver are the ones now employing this absurd maneuver.

 

The reality is that the Trump tax cuts, under a current law baseline that compares the policy to the change to current law, really cost $3.76 trillion over ten years. If you add that to the $441 billion estimate, you have a tax section that costs over $4.2 trillion. This is $400 billion higher than the House version that the Freedom Caucus already found intolerable, and that some self-styled Republican budget hawks in the Senate are grumbling about. ...

In most cases, the parliamentarian looks at whether provisions have a purely budgetary purpose, rather than policy dressed up as a budget item. (This is known as the Byrd Rule, after the longtime Democratic senator from West Virginia, Robert Byrd; the process by which the parties debate the provisions and by which a ruling is made is known as the “Byrd bath.”) ...

For context, the House version costs $3.3 trillion over a decade, according to the latest estimates. We’re verging on $4 trillion for the Senate bill—unless the Republicans’ wish to have the $3.7 trillion in tax cuts entered as zero passes muster with the parliamentarian. ...           

Update Wed Jun 25:

Real Clear Politics put this back up in the rotation this morning, lol. 

Real Clear Politics runs post by a comedian telling us Iran never invaded anybody and Donald Trump would ruin his presidency by starting a war against it

 In Rob Schneider's world Iran never funded Hamas which invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, never built and launched wave after wave of ballistic missiles at Israeli civilians, never enriched enough uranium to build over a dozen nuclear weapons, never promised over and over again death to Israel and death to America. 

Truly hilarious.

 

 

There's a conservative media blackout on the disgraceful US pro-Russia vote in the UN yesterday, 93 countries vote to hold Russia directly responsible without the US

 No stories up at Real Clear Politics.

None at Just The News.

Nutball worlds in collision: Trumpism defends freedom in Europe with its right hand, stabs it in the back in Ukraine with its left, Biden defended freedom in Ukraine with his right, attacked it in America with his left

 

 But The Federalist has its blinders on. Biden baaaaaaad! Trump gooooood!

"Let's see if we can find some naive kid to write a story about it!" 

By Defending Free Speech Worldwide, Team Trump Reclaims America’s Global Moral High Ground:

Under President Donald Trump, the suppression of natural rights by Western powers will no longer be ignored by the United States.

Yep, J. D. Vance goes to Europe to beat up on our friends. But suppression of freedom will be ignored, in places like Russia, Saudi Arabia, and China. And above all in Ukraine.

This is the essence of libertarianism: Make the good the enemy of the perfect.

But defending freedom where it really counts would take some courage, and they don't have it. 

The author of this article, who graduated from college in 2022 with a BA in political "science", ends it touting the execrable Darren Beattie at Marco Rubio's State Department, a Taiwan surrender monkey. 

 

The article is the second in the queue at Real Clear Politics this morning. One goes there looking for some serious editorial judgment and gets this.

Trump/Vance don't have the moral high ground. They are just the cowardly other side of the same old hypocritical American coin.

It's a tag team of wacko birds at Real Clear Politics tonight: Donald Trump and his national security advisor Mike Waltz attack Ukraine, blame the victim of Russian aggression

The most disgusting thing I've seen in a long time.
