I think most independent voters decide on vibes and the economy. If the economy doesn't turn around in the next year, Republicans will suffer greatly in the midterm and 2028 won't look much better.
they decide by remembering who they voted for last time. Then they do the opposite this time.

Yeah this. I used to think independent voters were the intelligent ones who'd analyze the candidates and vote for the best one, unaffected by party loyalty.
nah, have to disagree. Trump's main job, his mandate, was to make the libs cry.

Maybe if the Libs could govern the country like non-lunatics, Trump would have lost and Kamala would be a solid president. But no, they wanted to keep the border open.
Catholics are bereft and unconsolable about the recent Pope death. He got a lot of them into The Kingdom. Supposedly. I have my doubts as to how effective he actually was at that, but I'm not going to express them right now. That would be inappropriate with the reek of death still in the air.
“The building is in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership,” John Ullyot wrote Sunday in a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece. “The dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership.”
Im sure the country deserves better. I’m sure the DOD deserves better. But who is the one who chose the unqualified guy?

That is the pattern as of late with the presidency, though I think it’s happened longer for the midterm after a presidential election. I think there is a wider issue that is causing the pendulum to swing faster that is also responsible for the growing popularity of populist candidates like Trump and Bernie. The people are not happy!
Trump had one job to do. It wasn't to golf. It wasn't to whine. It wasn't to pardon. It wasn't to end NATO. It wasn't to fight judges. It wasn't to fight Canada. It wasn't to rename a gulf. It wasn't to fire Americans. It wasn't to fight Greenland. It wasn't to fight all our allies. It wasn't to fight paper straws. It wasn't to post every 3 minutes. It wasn't to drunk-text our secrets. It wasn't to increase shower pressure. It was the economy, stupid. One job. And he failed. Miserably.
To be fair, President Trump himself never drinks. His posts just look like drunk texting.

the people are bored, anyway. They don't want quiet competence, they want a reality show. They vote to give a little excitement to their lives. And they are getting it.
Must be willing to fire on American citizens, battle the the imaginary war against El Salvador street gangs, remove any references to black soldiers, name any future aircraft with the number 45 or 47.

Dow down 971 today !! We are getting killed by the Trump Tariff Sell-off !! I want to thank the 400,000 Swing state “Fooled by Trump” voters that gave our country this fffing mess !!

For his base, yes. For the last few percent who got him the election, no. Still not SURE he’d lose an election tomorrow, but it would probably (?) be tighter?

Today’s drops make me think that we MIGHT need to set the threshold for daily greatness at -3% instead of -2%.
And that’s consistent with Trump saying that we need to be flexible (despite the fact that he only says that in defense of backing down on his MOST stupid decisions).
I pray to Christ that the Catholics install a decent leader. Because I’m looking at the short list (“puff list” they call it), and most of these guys are total losers. There’s a couple of unknown quantities, but most are just losers. They don’t know jack about this stuff. The Vatican has like $5 trillion assets under management, and we get this list of proposed Bozos to run it.
