Losing doesn’t mean we were wrong. We just lost, but fight on. Recovering politics junkie devastated at the failure of accountability. Turning to my other pursuits: travel, nature, history, architecture, home renovation, visiting grandkids.

Inflation was just an excuse. Not saying those voters weren’t unhappy about the price of things, but the Trump campaign provided a menu of things to hate, most only loosely based on fact, incl immigration and crime — excuses to vote against the multicultural, modern America that Harris represented.
On Jan 6, Democrats and Republicans were protected by the men and women in blue. On Jan 6, 2022 only two Republicans attended the House session recognizing the events one year prior - Liz Cheney and her father former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Liz later campaigned with, and Dick voted for Harris.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died, his family said in a statement. He was 84 abcnews.go.com/Politics/for...

I grew up understanding that democracy has winners and losers. You make your best argument, but sometimes the other guys are in charge. Even when they are, our system requires compromise and votes from both sides, so change happens slowly.
It seems that Republicans no longer accept this. 1/4

According to Magga, calling someone a racist or a Nazi is hate speech/stochastic terrorism - but saying racist shit and marching around with Nazi flags or torches is just fine? Do they really think we’ll buy this shit?

It was locker room talk.
The 2020 election was rigged.
They were just tourists.
It’s not his signature.

Under Biden, job creation and the stock market soared yet Maggas insisted he was ‘destroying’ the country. Now the economy is tanking under moronic policies but ‘things are going great’. Seems their yardstick of success has to do with skin shades, not real peoples’ lives.

Trump says that DAG Todd Blanche meeting with Maxwell is “totally not unusual” and “is totally above board.”
These are the opposite of the truth because the authoritarian needs to replace truth with his own dictated reality.
Don’t fall for it. He cannot succeed if we hold tight on the truth.

So maga focuses on “enigmas”, say he wouldn't use that term
Turns out, “enigmas never age” was in a Calvin Klein ad
Someone uses grok to search and it turns out he said it twice in a rally speech re Ben Carson
It’s also an anagram of “gamines” meaning young girls
the internet wins again

Maybe Sen Lisa Murkowski could provide a list of potential “no” votes? Hopes and prayers.
Jeffries: "All we need are 4 Republicans to join us in support of their constituents, to have John McCain-level courage, and stand up in defense of the healthcare of the American people. What type of party would bring a bill to the House floor that rips away Medicaid from those in need?"

“TOTAL OBLITERATION” is the new “COMPLETELY EXONERATED” and also “I WON IN 2020”.

This f’ing fool. And his cult believes him.

The very stable genius taco is experiencing extreme narcissist injury and lashing out - complaining on every grievance on his radar and shouting about every person who has called out his ineptitude. I don’t think America will buy another big lie - the Iran bombing attack is gonna cost him.

From his hair to his skin color to his business accumen and negotiating skills, to everything that comes out of his mouth, Taco is an outrageous lie.

The deranged guy currently dictating immigration deportation policy is incapable of seeing the negative impact on America’s economy through his hate. Also, the impact on our worldwide reputation as immigrants complying with instructions to ‘follow the rules’ are picked up at check-ins and hearings.

The RFK Jr. changes re vaccine panel etc. provide a great opportunity for a couple blue states to hire newly fired experts and develop and disseminate sound advice for citizens, doctors and insurers. Maryland is particularly well-positioned to do so. How about it, @govwesmoore.bsky.social ?

Right-wingers have spent 20+ years tossing around the accusation of pedophilia at anyone on the left they disagree with, including all trans men, even though these things are completely unrelated. Meanwhile, tens of stories of evangelical preachers being prosecuted for actual pedophilia are ignored.

Trump/Miller are capitalizing on the outrage shown by Fox viewers as they watched video of things burning at night, AFTER the peaceful George Floyd protests that were played on loop. Magga refers to those protests as “the riots” cuz that’s all they saw, plus repeated lies about no prosecutions.

The New York Times is writing aggressive stories about Trump's authoritarianism now. If only they'd done that years ago. It's as if a news outlet downplayed the threat of a Cat 5 hurricane but then, after it hit, gave us terrific coverage of the devastation.

Serious question: what good has Trump done for anyone? Anybody? I’m sure he is entertainment for some, and his followers love going to his rallies and Mar-A-Lago. But has he done ANYTHING selfless? Just to be good, that he HASN'T ALSO BENEFITED FROM?

If he potentially staged an assassination attempt and rigged an election there’s no low he won’t go to for Authoritarian Power. He is the Marianna Trench!

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.
