I see it all as distraction from Mr T's court trials also misguided retribution. Let's get even going after Hunter and Joe now Mayorkas next week someone new.....

So the Grift King will be incharge of doling out campaign dollars to candidates he deems worthy? What could go wrong?

This article makes one feel better, especially if you are left leaning and overall depressed about the politics (I am) and the economy (less so).

5 takeaways from Democrats flipping George Santos' House seat in New York

1. Republicans' historically narrow majority got even smaller.
2. Republicans continue to struggle in the suburbs.
3. Democrats showed they can defend themselves on immigration.
4. Abortion rights continue to be something Democrats will run on — with good reason.
5. Candidates — and money — do matter.

As for the economy, seems like its a non factor for now.

I feel that even if the monster is convicted and jailed, the Frankenstein that created him will still be free to create another. Their quest for power and control did not start with tRump and it will not stop after he is gone. We're in for a long haul to save our democracy.

They may try, but I'm not sure anyone else has that special sauce. Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz just don't have that MAGA magic.

Agreed, Trump is the glue that is holding the MAGA morons together. Perhaps he effectively took control of his party. No one can stray away and there will be retributions. Instant turnaround on the Immigration bill proves it, giving up something they wanted, asked and got.

A possible small step toward ending our long national nightmare.

And the Michigan Republican Party is in a holy mess, infighting, broke and two primaries, two slates.

Certain people in Congress are despicable to me, none more so than Tommy Tubes who is a lying sneaky ignorant holier than thou asshole. Not just deplorable but evil to the core. He had this to say recently after the GOP House shelved the bipartisan bill passed by the Senate for funding Ukraine.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), echoing Putin, claimed on X that “Russia is open to a peace agreement, while it is DC warmongers who want to prolong the war.” He also claimed that Ukraine “can’t win” against Russia.

The only other Repugnant that I have come close to hating is the ex-Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio. I consider Trump a Joke but an evil one.

Yet the majority of Repub voters continue to support the vilest of the vile.
