Again-give Trump 2020 election he claims he won. That makes him ineligible to be POTUS under 22nd Amendment: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice" ELECTED, not sworn in, not serve as. Give him 2020 and remove him from office immediately. Where are Democrats?

Just once I'd like to carpe diem instead of having the damn diem carpe me.

Blanche hearing is nothing more than performance art on the part of Republican committee members. Blanche will be confirmed even though Collins is concerned but convinced he learned his lesson.

If you think Blanche won't be confirmed you haven't been paying attention. Trump wants him so the Senate will deliver. And Susan Collins will say she's concerned but he's learned his lesson.

Finally--

More on "Dumocrats" State party should have told El-Sayed MI is NOT VT. MFA is a loser in MI and if El-Sayed is the nominee, it's another pick up for GOP in the Senate. Meanwhile, ME party thought Platner was their Trump-immoral Nazi sympathizer w/populist msg. How'd that work out for ya? Idiots.

Finally agree w/Trump--they are "Dumocrats." KY Dems should have told Booker to stand aside after he sabotage McGrath in '20 and lost by over 25 to Paul in '22. But no-he's up against Barr and will lose by at least 25. The least they can/should do is divert funds to where they CAN win. More coming

I was taught not to speak ill of the dead so with regard to Lindsey Graham...how's the weather where you are?

The damage that has been done to the US in the last 18 months can never be repaired or reversed. The great experiment is just for the history books now. Fear is Putin or Kim will strike while the US is at its weakest, having expended its arsenal in the middle east-and being led by incompetents.

Remember when Trump was told Putin kills people and he responded, "So what? We kill people too." Apparently he took it as a license to execute innocent men and women.

Q. What do all of ICE executions have in common? A. ICE claims they acted in self-defense. Q. What else do all of ICE executions have in common? A. ICE lied about them. Every. Single. One.

Dems learned nothing from KY '20. Michigan senate candidates carving each other up at the debate provided free advertising for the GOP nominee whoever it is. Booker savaging McGrath in '20 propelled McConnell to reelection when Moscow Mitch used Booker's ads against her. Dems deserve to lose MI.

NYT: Trump rolling back gun regulations, incl. bans on stabilizers & allowing mentally deficient persons to own them. Also the "gun show loophole" has been reinstated as has ghost purchases. This from a person who's been shot at twice.

Happy 2nd anniversary of trying to celebrate Independence Day under a fascist kleptocratic government,

I'm confident in the 2026 elections. That is, I'm confident in my red state that my vote as a Democrat won't be counted. Just like Texas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and any number of other red states. It's not who votes that counts-it's who counts the votes.

Forgive me if for the first time in my (relatively) long life, I don't feel like celebrating Independence Day. Even if it likely is the last one. Cue funeral dirge.

Let's concede Trump won in 2020. That means he must immediately resign because he's not eligible to serve as POTUS; 22nd Amendment: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice... Notice it says ELECTED, not sworn in, not serve. So let's give him 2020 and force him out.

I am old enough to remember the 200 years celebration of the USA. It saddens me to realize 250 is the last one.

On what may well be the last Independence Day the USA celebrates, for all you blue-wave optimists, remember it's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes.

text: call and tell Sen. Collins to keep championing solutions for Maine's veterans. Me: I'll call Sen. Collins and tell her to stop being Trump's toady. text: you have successfully unsubscribed.

Can someone explain to me why any pregnant woman--American citizens included--would possibly want her child to be a citizen of the USA? Why would any parent want a child to grow up in a racist, misogynist, hate-filled society? Let's hope there's a surge in birth control devices in the US.

That 'whoosh' of air you hear coming from Louisiana is Bobby Jhindal exhaling now that he realizes ICE won't be knocking at his door, thanks to SCOTUS

SCOTUS decision on birthright citizenship was always going to be the last one announced--so Roberts and the others could get out of town before Trump could react. But the mere fact that the ruling went against Trump...

Democrats are whistling past the graveyard. Outside of NYC, they have no candidates exciting the electorate and nothing to run on other than DJT. GOP doesn't need Save America Act; with gerrymandering, Dems need to flip 11 House seats for control. No chance. But sure, keep harping on non-issues.

Trump has rescinded free access to national parks on MLK Day and Juneteenth. Gee, I wonder what the reason could be?

"There are none so blind as those who will not see." If you think the US can ever recover from the damage that has been done not only to the country but to its standing in the world, I believe you are badly mistaken. It took Germany over half a century; Trump has done more damage than Hitler.

As good a person and as good a president as Obama was, he's the reason for Trump. White backlash put Trump in office and misogyny put him back in. If it weren't for COVID, Trump would now be serving his 3rd term and looking to his 4th.

Trump's announcement of the Iran "deal" has just insured the GOP will increase its majorities in the House and Senate. God help us.

Breaking news from NYT: Trump moving on from Pulte as DNI head, selects Jay Clayton--Manhattan USAtty--to be DNI chief.

Not only are Fetterman and Oz both in the federal government, they're on the same side.

Dems in Maine working hard to reelect a beatable Republican (Collins)--like they did in '18 with Cancun Cruz, '22 with Johnson and Moscow Mitch in '20. Certainty is that Dems will continue to pick the worst possible candidate who stands no chance against vulnerable Republicans.

"Whoever controls the media controls the mind." Republicans--and Trump in particular--control the media. Just another portend of the end of democracy.

I don't understand James Talarico calling Paxton corrupt. Why would you want to emphasize your opponent's qualifications for office?

Anyone who thinks Talarico has a chance to win in Texas in November hasn't been paying attention. Texans would vote for Attila the Hun if there was an "R" after his name. The re-election of Ted Cruz proved that.

History Channel: Dr. ministering to Napoleon after his death despised him. He so loathed Napoleon that after completing his postmortem tasks, he took his scalpel and cut off Napoleon's--um--reproductive member. Thus for the first time Napoleon was a true Bonaparte. [rim shot]

It occurs to me that "Happy" is an inappropriate beginning to Memorial Day, a holiday that honors our military who gave their lives in defense of the US. It's like saying "Happy Dead Soldiers Day." Maybe "Remembrances this Memorial Day" would be better.

DNC released "autopsy" report on 2024 election. Last I checked, autopsies can only be performed on dead bodies. And the Democratic Party has been dead for years.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial: Congress needs to act to end gerrymandering. BWAHAHAHA. As if Congress would do anything to benefit its constituents. Oligarchs love gerrymandering bc it insures Congress will only act in THEIR best interests.

Primary results and new maps show Trump still firmly in control of GOP. Dems are leaderless party. House will be 250-185 after Nov., senate 55-43 with GOP pickups in NC and MI, maybe 1 more in GA.

How does Todd Blanche still have a license to practice law? Eastman and Giuliani's crimes pale in comparison.

It took Germany over a half-century to recover from the horror that was Hitler. The US will likely never recover from the damage inflicted on it from this administration. The world is more "global" now--much smaller and more communicative. The US will never again have alliances.

The decline of the US can be traced to Obama. Not that he was a bad POTUS; he wasn't. But he's Black. The US was and always will be racist, misogynistic; Dems haven't learned that after 44 no non-white, straight, male can be elected. Ability, competency matters not at all.

Remember: it's not who votes that matters. What matters is who counts the votes.

Americans need to begin to adapt to the reality that the country is past the point of no return and will never regain its pre-Trump stature in the world. It's truly over--unless you happen to be a white male billionaire. The only way out of this morass is secession.

In this very red state, candidate ads are bombarding residents through TV. In all of the ads that are being broadcast there is only 1 Black person in the vignettes--and that 1 Black person is in an orange jumpsuit. Gee, I wonder why. /s

Dems need to reconcile themselves that they will never again be a majority in the House of Representatives. No new Voting bill will withstand challenge; it's over. The ONLY solution is secession. Are you listening, @governor.ca.gov ? The military is weakened-it can't stop you, others will follow.

Dems thinking they'll win the House are whistling past the graveyard. VA redistricting is dead; GOP rates to gain net 10 seats minimum from redistricting. Look for 238-197 GOP majority. Chance to take the Senate slim to none, so GOP can continue to grift and profiteer.

Bibi needs Israel to be at war in order to stay out of Jail. Trump expressed a desire to turn Gaza into a resort. Bibi leveled Gaza before convincing Trump to join Israel in war against Iran. But no, no coincidence here, right?
