Why are progressives handing the Republicans their very own campaign ad script for 2026?

You seem to relish in inhumanity ... And as you smile at what you find within the abyss, you tell Democrats to either pick up the screwdriver and administer the torture, or lose.

Yes, and this behavior has been with us since the dawn of civilization. Any person may seek to justify their inability to rise above inhumanity by attempting to convince the person beside them that inhumanity is the better choice, because doing so is usually easier than challenging oneself.

This image released by the White House stands as one of the most politically impactful visuals that will be utilized by all Republican candidates in the 2026 campaign.

This image is poised to ensure a 60-seat majority for the Republicans in the Senate and enhance their margins in the House of Representatives.

Interestingly, a number of Democrat Representatives are preparing to travel to El Salvador in an effort to secure Garcia's release and bring him back to America.

I have some advice for Trump. Dear President Trump, if your goal is to completely eliminate the Democrat party in 2026 by achieving a 60-seat majority in the Senate and expanding your conservative margins in the House of Representatives, consider reaching out to the president of El Salvador. You could request that the next Democrat Senator traveling to El Salvador be permitted to bring Garcia back to America, capturing images of the Senator descending the plane steps with Garcia before setting foot on American soil. If you heed my counsel, Democrats will not only face defeat in 2026, but they will also experience a significant loss in 2028.

I think that this one will have a larger impact.

I want to thank Trump for lowering the price of eggs. Evidently, he and his administration have laid so many of them that there is now a surplus!

This is one take on the current situation:

… (T)he president’s second-term approval ratings look eerily similar to his first: a poor start that only gets worse. Trump’s initial favorability ratings in January were the second-worst of any presidency, just slightly better than his previous administration. By mid-March, his net approval was again negative; by early April, his average disapproval was already more than 50%.

The explanation for this must start with the economy, which remains voters’ top concern. (In a recent Gallup survey, for example, nearly 90% of Americans were concerned about the economy.) After promising to bring prices down “on day one,” the president has done little but lie about egg prices — which, yes, are still rising. Instead, Trump has blundered ahead with the most distinctive part of his economic platform: sweeping tariffs. But the more voters have seen, the less they’ve liked. Compiling more than a dozen polls taken after this month’s “Liberation Day,” former 538 editor G. Elliot Morris calculated that Trump’s approval rating dropped 6 percentage points compared to the same pollsters’ previous surveys.

A CBS News/YouGov poll conducted last week is typical of this group: 75% say the tariffs will raise prices in the short term, 65% say they’ll make the economy worse and 54% say Trump is already more responsible for the state of the economy than Joe Biden, just two months after the latter left office. Even the intended beneficiaries of tariffs — according to Trump, at least — are skeptical: In a Washington Post survey of manufacturing workers, 57% said his tariffs would “hurt your job and career,” while just 22% said the duties would help.

While voters soured quickly on Trump’s economic policies, his handling of immigration has seemed a bright spot for many. But as with the broader “vibe shift” narrative, the signs of a mirage have long been present. Even before the election, most voters opposed the specifics of Trump’s immigration policies, such as deporting immigrants with no criminal records or those who are parents of U.S. citizens. As cases such as Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Mahmoud Khalil highlight MAGA’s cruel immigration policies, Trump’s strength on the issue has ebbed. In a new Quinnipiac poll, for instance, Trump’s net approval on immigration issues is minus 5%; on deportations specifically, it’s minus 10%.

Hound is going to have to hope that spamming that pic of Garcia even more starts to move the needle, because It’s not doing much for Trump at the moment.

A progressive senator travels to El Salvador to meet with an MS-13 gang member, aiming to facilitate his return to the United States. Subsequently, the president shares a photo on social media featuring himself alongside an image of the gang member's tattoos, confirming his affiliation with the gang. I'm saying that Trump has completely taken control of the progressive wing of the Democrat party, and he's making them appear foolish.

Yeah, Van Hollen really looks bad next to the picture of the brain-dead rapist holding up the childishly doctored photo.

The sad thing is that Trump probably thinks that the ‘MS13’ is actually tattooed onto Garcia’ hand.

The amusing thing is that many Americans will interpret the image as the Trump Administration trying to doctor a photo.
