I can't believe that 8 Dems have caved, & will be the cause of massively increased cost of, or denial of, healthcare.
Is it too late for them to read the room & change their votes?
History will still remember them as cowards.
Is Fetterman even a Dem anyway?
They all need to go at the mid-terms!

Now Trump has pardoned another bunch of 2020 election "Big Lie" criminals, including Giuliani.
Doesn't he have to give a reason for pardons, or are they just something that you get if you pay enough?
Sheer corruption! Wasn't Trump the one complaining about "prisons being emptied onto our streets"?

So this weekend, Trump is on yet another golfing holiday, at the cost of taxpayers for Airforce One, the Secret Service, etc.
While millions of Americans wonder what food they're going to put on the table, while air traffic controllers & other federal workers, DON'T get paid, but politicians DO..!

2. Grijalva is sworn in
3. Epstein files & recordings are released uncensored
4. Blue momentum continues until mid-terms
5. SCOTUS reads the room & sees sense
6. Trump is stopped from canceling mid-terms by SCOTUS

I'm guessing a whole next generation of voters is signaling the direction that USA politics is heading, as a reaction to Trump-style fascism.
Add in the older generation's disillusionment, with their SNAP, health insurance, & cost of living slugs, & it is conceivable that GOP will get wiped out.

These election results reflect the shift in sentiment against Trump & the administration.
But the question has to be asked - what actual good will it do when the GOP still have control of everything at a federal level, including the SCOTUS?
Weasel Johnson will still refuse to swear in Grijalva

Norah O'Donnell's so-called "interview" with Trump on 60 Minutes wasn't as useless as so many are claiming.
It clarified in unarguable detail the deterioration in Trump's mental acuity.
His dementia is real & worse!

Dems need someone who has the flare, charisma, oratory, & substance as Mamdani, AOC, etc - but more centre-left than left.
The whole disgruntled masses in the middle who are ripe for voting Dem will mostly NOT vote Dem that is too far to the left.
It is a leap too far....

Trump showing off his "new look" Lincoln bathroom and toilet is the equivalent of Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake".
The orange felon has absolutely NO empathy, shame, or ability to read the room.
But where are THE EPSTEIN FILES???

So now the world is faced with a demented US president, his finger on the codes, and who has just ordered the resumption of nuclear weapons testing for the first time in 33 years.
GREAT...!!! Just what the world needs - a madman with the ability to start WW3, and with cognitive deterioration..!

How much longer can Weasel Johnson put off swearing in Adelita Grijalva?
How is the lawsuit going that AZ have launched to get her sworn in?
Surely he is WAY beyond his authority in refusing to swear her in?
He should be arrested if he continues to refuse.
Johnson MUST be in the Epstein Files..!

Did I hear or read somewhere that a Federal judge has the authority to swear in Adelita Grijalva if Weasel Johnson is too chicken to do it?
If that's the case, why haven't the Dems arranged for that to happen yet?
Then - release the Epstein files...!

Of all the things America needs right now, another crass, vulgar, schmaltzy, kitsch replica of a Mar a Lago ballroom is NOT one of them.
I'm sure the homeless, the sick who can't afford healthcare, children who need cancer treatment, & veterans who need help, will all REALLY admire & appreciate it.

This is worth reading. Some serious thought and work has gone into it.
Could it work? Who knows...
Is it just wishful thinking? Or would there be enough will in both houses to make it work?
Definitely worth the read.

This is an excellent piece of work. A lot of thought has gone into it. But is it just wishful thinking? Or would it/could it actually work?
I've been wracking my brain for months, trying to figure out how we can get rid of not just Trump, but also Vance and the entire monstrous Cabinet.
#Liz48 is what I've come up with. Please share this.

Trump demolishing part of the White House, and building a ballroom, says it all.
Who actually NEEDS a ballroom? What sort of dances are they going to hold there? More black bow tie wankery?
What's the bet that Trump will hold functions for $1m admission, the money to go into his pocket as usual?

Do Trump or any of his administration actually have the right to demolish any part of the White House?
Even what he did to the rose garden was illegal, wasn't it?
Isn't the White House actually owned by National Parks?
Don't they, or Congress, actually have to authorize works like the ballroom?

What should be the biggest concern for ALL correct-thinking Americans is the question of WHY Trump is so blasé about ignoring the Constitution, the courts, popular opinion, everything.
Trump has certainly given enough warnings - he has NO intention of ever leaving the position of President.

After promising that the new, crass, gilded ballroom won't affect the East Wing of the White House - "near, but not touching it" he said - demolition has now started on the East Wing.
Can he legally do that without Congress OK-ing it? Isn't it the "House of the People"?
The Epstein Ballroom - yuk!

Dems really, REALLY need to sweep their leadership clean & put some fresh blood up there.
Schumer is missing in action & too polite.
Jeffries may say the occasional good thing, but is completely devoid of any charisma or fire.
Not somebody TOO far left if they want to tempt centre-rights to vote.
