This guy talks so quickly lol.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

I’ll take deluded for 1000 Alex. But it’s his whole idiotic Cabinet sharing the blame. It all leads back to him.
-None of the sources I have spoken with seemed “defiant.” They expected losses and seem concerned for what comes after midterms.
-Trump specifically told voters to pretend he *was* on the ballot.
-As for candidate quality - he chose the GOP Senate candidates in SC, NC, and TX.
The WH spin doesn’t fit the facts.

Not true. They issued a statement.
Canada is supposed to be the world’s leading hockey nation and we host World Jrs in less than 60 days which is the first event where Russia is to be reinstated.
We had a chance to lead here and stand with Europe for what’s right.
Instead - fucking crickets out of Hockey Canada

Donating his salary back is a mere decimal point, decimal point, on the millions of $ costs he has imposed ( eg golf) and the billions in family grift.

It’s called SOCIAL DEMOCRACY. Social Democracy is not Socialism.
Dear MAGA, let me explain something.
You have been taught that anything with the word social in it is communism. It isn’t. Social Security isn’t communism. Medicare isn’t communism. And neither is the public school your children attend or the fire department that saves your house.
Norway and Denmark are capitalist countries. People own businesses, buy houses, make fortunes, invest in stocks and own guns. The difference is that their governments make capitalism work for ordinary people, not just billionaires.
Here is what that means in everyday life. You get cancer. You receive treatment without facing a ruinous hospital bill. Your wife has a baby. She gets months of paid parental leave. Your child wants to attend university. Tuition is free at public universities for eligible students.
You work hard. You get five weeks of paid vacation. You lose your job. There is a safety net to help you get back on your feet And none of this requires giving up your house, your truck, your religion or your freedom.
Now here is the part you really need to understand.
You are already paying taxes. The question is what you get back.
In Europe, more of that money comes back to ordinary families through healthcare, education and financial security.
In America, politicians have convinced millions of working people that asking for those things is socialism, while demanding lower taxes for billionaires is freedom.
You have been persuaded to fight against benefits you would personally enjoy, in order to protect fortunes you will never possess.
Elon Musk does not need you to defend his wallet. Your family needs you to defend yours.

WATCH: "Prime Minister Brookfield..." - #CPC MP @CherylGallant
Surely such disrespectful name-calling violates the HoC rules.
The @PierrePoilievre Conservatives are not a serious party.
Childish.

Dead on.
The cruelty is the entire point.
A lot of sick ppl these days enjoying the spectacle.
Dear Sane Republicans & Independents,
Don't fall for MAGA's hysteria.
Obama deported more people than Trump. But he did humanely & legally. ICE didn't wear masks, beat up women or kill citizens.
GOP pretends to be tough on immigration but it's just a bloodsport to amuse MAGA.
There's a new version of this post
At this point, we might as well just not have a Speaker of the House, and simply stick a scarecrow in his chair.
It's out of control, and unparlimentary.
Question Period has become unwatchable.
Reign it in, @HoCSpeaker
