Ah, at first I mistook this for a Trump Lie Social post. Then I realized it was too self-aware to be him.

I live in CA-03 and I'll be happy to see Kiley fade into oblivion. But I'm voting for Heidi Hall, a current Nevada County supervisor who had the courage to start running against him months ago, long before the reconfiguration of the district made it interesting to a carpetbagger like Ami Bera.

It's like the vital distinction (in the mind of Trump apologists) between "rape" and "sexual abuse". He's not a rapist! He's a sexual abuser! Wow, points scored.

Agree with your premise. Not at all sure those in power in Trump's orbit will so conveniently let that power slip from their fingers.

And water ruins them. Everybody knows that! So, with all the water on the Earth, how can there be a magnetic field around the Earth? Fake news! The pretty stuff is some side effect of the Jewish space lasers 🔫

The one-time Washington Redskins. I'm amazed he hasn't demanded they be named that again. Maybe he prefers Trumpskins?

That's backwards. The first years of a loan, most of the monthly payment is interest. At the end of the loan, most of the monthly payment goes to paying off the last of the principal. What is astronomically expensive is the total amount of interest paid compared to a loan with a shorter term.

I think is far too generous explanation. Follow the money. Who pays their campaigns? Who has their ear? Whose events do they attend? They are the paid Loyal Opposition. This is them DOING THE JOB THEY WERE PAID TO DO!

Durbin isn't running again in 2026. It is why he was one of the Hateful 8. They fronted for a bunch of other conservative (not centrist!) Dems.

I'm old enough to remember what the standards were in the 1960's. By those standards these establishment Dems are at least moderately conservative Republicans. The entire Party has been pushed to the right by the capitulation to the same paymasters are the Republicans. Time to reverse that trend.

And be forced into retirement by a humiliating electoral defeat, or the clear prospect of the same. At least that is what my angry, but sober self wants, in lieu of the more direct approach of just wringing some scrawny old necks...
