MAGA up in arms about Jack Smith's testimony saying "fraud is not a protected free speach."
at the same time they are pointing to tRump's fraudulant claims about the 2020 election. So, if Jack Smith should be prosecuted, should also not tRump. Fair question right?

The news cycle. Come on people, stop the "Breaking News" thing like; tRump caught lying and please add one tiny little tidbit, "Again" It's more like:
It's Wednesday, "again"
Science finds water is still wet, "again"
tRump caught lying, "again'
Sheesh, changes it to reality, doesn't it?

Some days the noise feels endless. But every now and then, someone inside the party steps up and says the quiet part out loud: truth still matters.

It's meaningful when someone says “Enough chaos. Unless you have evidence, stop.” That shouldn’t be a radical stance, but lately it feels like one.

People talk about this faction like it’s powerless, but that’s only true if you define power as crowd size. Institutions have their own levers — procedural, narrative, structural — and they’ve used them for decades.

The strange part is watching them act like those levers disappeared. They didn’t.

It’s wild watching the so‑called “shadow party” sit quietly in the rafters, waiting for the lights to change on their own. That’s not strategy — that’s hoping the scoreboard operator forgets to hit the buzzer. If you’ve still got donor muscle, institutional memory, and a Rolodex full of operatives--

Republican Senators voting with Dems get stripped of their part affilications by the GOP. Good job GOP for showing American what you are really man of over-and-over again. You guys have no ethics whatsever as you have shown, once again

One more way this "Worst Aministration in History" tries to silence discent and free speech via threat, punishment and bullying.

When the POTUS starts talking about WWIII worries, it's extremely irresponsible and the constitutional levers like elections, oversight, impeachment & 25th are too slow operating on months-to-years timeline, when nuclear escalation operates on a minutes-to-hours timeline.
We need pushback, pressure

My wishes for closing out this year and ringing in the next.
ACA Stability; the house just passed a bill that could end coverage for 100,000 people. Some may get cheaper premiums but for what we don't know and it weakens provisions for pre-existing conditions. Make sure people get ACA support

Closing out Christmas 2025.
Imagine what we could build if we stopped treating public service like a battlefield and started treating it like a shared project.
Imagine a politics where the loudest thing isn’t grievance but competence.

Here's what this curmudgeonous old fart is actually doing. Outrange is a renewable resource, he's trying to keep his base engaged with rage so he doesn't have to take responsibility for anything at all. Relieving himself of trying to come up with solutions for us all crowding out real governance.

Merry Christmas to you all. Can we just describe the orange banana's labels starting his "radical Left Scum" one? Really he's lumping together
Democrats
Critics
Institutions that challenge
Anyone he perceives as an obstacle

Federal judicial rules against the orange banana in the oval office striking down the offshore wind freeze and clearing the way for the project to resume. Yay for wind and other energy efficiency solutions for us.
The judge said they failed to provide justification for the stoppage.

Mary Trump claims her uncle's problems are piling up faster than he can shout/ignore away. Says the delayed release of Epstein files have hurt him and congress had to force the issue.
Plus, the attempt at attacking her instead of discussing the issue makes it apparent he's on the losing end.
December 24, 2025 at 1:41 AM
And now for a little laugh: Folks, they said it couldn’t be done. They said it was impossible. But today… I tied my shoes. All by myself. People are saying it’s the greatest shoe‑tying they’ve ever seen.
I think we all know who it might be that brags about making over a low bar like this???

We used to point at Russia as the cautionary tale — a place where political power bends the media to its will. But read the news today and tell me the architecture doesn’t feel eerily similar.
December 23, 2025 at 3:05 AM
$2000 tariff dividends? Symbolic but just more implementation lacking stress tested policies that can survive coming into contact with reality. Inflation of 3% will eat most of that up. We're seeing bad process resulting in bad policy
December 19, 2025 at 2:21 AM
Obviously, I want the GOP to lose in the midterms. Their policies don’t seem to serve the broad public. Too much of the agenda looks like protecting political power instead of improving people’s lives, and the party’s focus feels muddied and out of step with what most Americans actually need.
December 19, 2025 at 2:12 AM
House Speaker Johnson, come on sir — you negotiated a bill that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies, and that alone throws chaos into Americans’ healthcare lives. Nobody wants to toss their health plans into the air and hope whatever falls is enough to live on. People deserve stability, not crumbs.
December 19, 2025 at 1:48 AM
This isn’t about party lines — it’s about responsibility. ACA subsidies are on the line, and millions of Americans will feel the impact if Congress can’t act. When lawmakers focus more on protecting their seats than protecting the people who put them there, that’s not governing.
December 19, 2025 at 1:26 AM
Hahahahahaha, it's always easier to blame someone else for your own failures than it is to take responsibility for them and think more deeply or correctly what has gone wrong.

A system that can’t hear itself can’t fix itself. Symbolic moves get announced, but the systems they land in are complex and unforgiving. When all the stakeholders aren’t in the room, those symbolic moves turn brittle and break on contact with reality.
December 18, 2025 at 3:46 AM
For example, cutting food assistance to low‑income families and students is another policy that becomes brittle on contact with reality. It’s aimed at the wrong layer of the system and collapses without deeper, more thought‑provoking analysis.
December 18, 2025 at 3:27 AM
Tariffs failed because not all stakeholders were in the room. Narrow voices create narrow solutions — linear fixes for non‑linear systems. Symbolic actions that fail.
December 18, 2025 at 3:16 AM
The GOP is at it again, flipping the truth on its head with this response to extending ACA subsidies.
We are rightly going to reject this enrichment of the insurance companies," Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas.), who sits on the powerful House Rules Committee, said today on Fox News. It's about the people!!
