(23,680 posts)I saw a poll about Bibi, it's amazing that his approval is at 38%, basically the same as shithole. In Israel, Bibi's party is in trouble.

(11,911 posts)he said about Dems previously, and I didn't see his acknowledgement that he was wrong.
So if he helps us, great. But like MTG, I'll believe they're sincere when they show sorrow and contrition for what they have done.

(706 posts)He helped create the fertile conditions from which Dimwit Donnie emerged. He helped create the monster that he now disavows.
F**k Bill Kristol. Choke on it, bitch.

(29,272 posts)I like The Bulwark, watch it all the time, because former Republicans know that the problem is Republicans and don't waste time nitpicking Democrats.
Supported and voted for Democrats in the last two elections and never lies about Democrats supposedly ignoring the working class and being bribed by billionaires and oligarchs -- that shit doesn't come from Never Trumpers who actually want and work for Republicans to lose.

Yeah, I wonder.

What has he done, or is planning to do, to make amends for the havoc he helped create?

(10,912 posts)He was an architect to this mess during GW McIdiot's time & anti-O'bama during his administration.
Not going to get any pity from me.

(38,325 posts)He's one of the many right-wingers/"conservatives" who built the road to Trump, he brings no one with him, and by calling himself our name he diminishes us.
If he's willing to make phone calls to voters or send postcards, fine. But his opinion on anything weightier than the best fishing spot in his favorite stream is worthless.
I'll change my opinion if he provides dirt on people, telling what skeletons are in whose closets, and where bodies are buried. Otherwise he's just grifting for a new income stream.

Thank You!

(38,325 posts)He's akin to Liz Cheney: embracing him is more likely to cost us votes than gain any.

(10,029 posts)So I would tend to accept his credentials as a Democrat over someone like Fetterman, who seems to be moving in the opposite direction.

(4,101 posts)I can understand the urge to flee a sinking ship, but I can't forget decades of bullshit from people like him, the nonsense from them that caused this catastrophe.
As soon as the ship is out of danger, they will all be right back to their old tricks. We have let them up easy too many times. Every time we "look forward" and forgive, they abuse us again. Not this time.
