This won't happen because its preordained, its going to happen because ALL of us are going to work to make it so.

Despite their attempt to rig it...the wave that is coming will be so undeniable that it will rip right through this bullsh*t. However, that only happens if you go out and vote...and you convince a friend to go out and vote...and you talk to disillusioned trump voters and have them come out to vote.

If they simply thought there would be no election, they would not bother with all of this. If trump thought there would be no election he would not be trying to beg state legislators to do this.

It's happening...and it won't be pretty for them when they are done.

Don't let fear mongers tell you there will not be a 2026 midterm election. Do you want to know how I know there will be one...Republicans (at trump's behest) are trying to gerrymander the system in their favor.

It's hard to tell how religious Mike Johnson is, because every time he has to lay cover for another stupid trump thing you see his soul leave his body.

Quick Question: How many "off the rails" interviews do you have to have before you are simply "off the rails".

Listen, this guy can have one interview that does have deep "grandpa" moments. Its like watching the combination of Grandpa Simpson and Mr. Burns.

Imagine being shocked and appalled about the immigration status of a fictional character that is 87 years old. Some conservative circles find it "woke" that he is an undocumented immigrant, but that's his story...and its not even like it was retconned in...its in the first issue of his origin story.

To be clear, cheating has always existed. Paper mills, plagiarism, students paying other students to take tests. This is a new way to look at an old problem. Every time a new way to cheat pops up, there was been ways to mitigate its impact.

We need to fight so hard for undocumented immigrants that they won't be able to even comprehend how hard we will fight for our own rights.

Trump now wants everyone to stop asking when the trade deals are coming Trump and his team were touting the countries eager to make deals with the U.S. on trade. They changed their tune when it became clear such deals wouldn't materialize quickly.

At first: "I have made over 200 trade deals"
Then: "90 deals in 90 days"
Now:

What the MAGA crowd I think truly fails to see is that what they want to make "great again" was already exceptional. To be honest with you...what they want is a big hard step down from what America already was. That's not to say it is perfect...but we our institutions were the envy of the world.

Does this administration want more kids or not? Because this message is mixed...like everything else they do. You know what new parents want more than $5,000...affordable childcare.

Badge number 69420? These people are the exact incel sophomoric idiots we all know them to be. These people are not "memelords"...that's just a front to hide how moronic they are. These are the type of people that could only fit in with HS boys...and that may be an insult to HS boys.

This money has been paid for many times over. It’s sick to keep trying to squeeze blood from this rock. These loans should be interest free as it is a good for both the individual and the society.

"I think that the singular evil of our time is prejudice. It is from this evil that all other evils grow and multiply. In almost everything l've written there is a thread of this: a man's seemingly palpable need to dislike someone other than himself."

People who think trump can win a trade war with China that he lost in his first term are the same exact people that think the Washington Generals are due to win against the Harlem Globetrotters.

Three people have died in Texas from a completely preventable disease. The last ANYONE had died in the US from measles was about a decade ago. I would easily say these death are directly caused by misinformation...and I worry its going to be a leading cause of death very soon.

People showing regrets about voting for trump, now is not the time to rub it in their faces. I implore, show empathy, even if they never did. I want to win in 2026. If we have any hope stopping this disaster, its winning the House in 2026. If someone shows regret, give them the John McClane.
