Reminds me of a discussion during a Detroit Pistons game about results when the Pistons score more or less than 100, and hold the opponents to less than 100.

Well yeah. When they score more than 100 and hold the opponents to less than 100, their record is perfect!

What they don’t seem to getβ€”the Trumpers in Congress AND on the Supreme Courtβ€”is that if he gets his way, there will no longer BE a Congress or a Supreme Court….

Again, I will be strongly engaged in the primary process for the Democratic Party's nominee for President in 2028.
But I will support whoever wins, even if it's not my preferred candidate.
The stakes are too high to be selfish.

The reason you guys believed Donald Trump wouldn’t start more wars, bring on more debt, and would release the Epstein files is because you are stuoid. You are a stupid person with a baby brain. You would be fooled by a game of peekaboo because you’re stupid. 10 hours of keys jangling.

'Breakfast In America' Democracy is in a footrace with authoritarianism.

"The fact that Trump is hosting a MAGA dinner and fundraiser on the same day he launched an unauthorized and illegal attack on Iran, not put before the people or Congress for approval, tells you all you need to know about our immensely corrupt Commander-in-Chief." open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

Here's what's really happening with child care fraud in Minnesota Evidence is nowhere near the epidemic levels a viral YouTube video would suggest β€” but it hasn’t stopped a crackdown on child care funding. Here's a fact check.

Trump's War The costs could be catastrophic

""A single person β€” Donald J. Trump β€” has released the dogs of war ...without the consent of Congress or our allies. Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace American democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused."

'End of MAGA': Trump's attack on Iran sets off revolt among angry supporters A decision by Donald Trump to launch an assault on Iran with the help of Israel has set off a firestorm among longtime supporters who helped propel him to a second term based, in part, on his promise ...

1. We can only HOPE this is the end of MAGA.
2. Whatever's in the Trump-Epstein files must be eleventy billion times worse than we thought to require THIS level of distraction.

You have to settle for the candidate who will get you as close as possible to your destination, not the exact address. And in our case you work to move the Dems leftward, like the Project 2025 crowd worked for generations to move the GOP rightward.

Thanks for proving my point, dumdum. Given our two party system you’re never going to get a candidate who exactly matches your views, as you’d be more likely to do in a parliamentary system. To use an overused comparison, it’s not like taking a taxi, it’s more likely taking the bus.

Just blocked someone who called me a fascist for bemoaning the ideological purity tests in the Democratic Party that resulted in Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris’ losses, and pointing out that the Project 2025 crowd took 70 years to take over Eisenhower’s once-moderate Republican Party.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Funny how memory works. Republicans are mad Democrats didn’t clap for Trump’s lies. But during Biden’s 2024 they sat stone faced for β€œNo billionaire should pay less in taxes than a teacher.” β€œCap drug costs at $2,000.” They wouldn’t stand for fairness. Or democracy. Or for lower prices.
