Trump only got 56% of the vote in Texas this last election.

Romney got 57%

GWBush got 59% and 61%

Reagan got 63% in 1984

Nixon got 66% in 1972

LBJ got 63% in 1964

FDR got 88%, 87%, 80%, 71%

In the Solid South era, Dems routinely did >70%.

None demanded the prize that Our Special Boy wants

I remember when they started marketing this “loss prevention” tool to landlords. It was literally positioned as blackmail leverage.

Donald Trump, complaining that a woman wouldn’t do as she’s told

It's fun when judges pretend to be historians, isn't it?

Technically, that is "limited government" I guess.

Finally, a united nation.

Nebraska, everyone.

He went out to clarify: basically, if other Americans choose to give the house to the Democrats, it is the responsibility of Texas Republicans to conjure up enough seats to make sure that doesn’t happen

Have a wonderful birthday!

I'd like to hope this era will someday be looked back on as the final, ultimate proof that coddling little privileged white boys and telling them that they're perfect geniuses leads to nothing but ruin, death, and horror.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

The looming Trumpcession Orange man bad (for the economy).

"Trump thinks that if he falsifies jobs numbers, bullies the Fed, and prevents all criticism, he can make Americans believe prices are low and jobs are plentiful. But no matter how much he threatens, people are going to notice when prices at the grocery store go up and when they lose their jobs."

I don't say this lightly: The New York Times should fire the reporter and editor who chose to present a leak from the white house as if it was a leak from Harvard.

Don't print lies in the newspaper

Annnnd another one.
Who'd of thought......

Yes but nobody cares about educated people losing work

If you're looking for some wholesome joy, this is just beautiful.

I really think more people should point this out. Like, whenever you think of Ghislaine, think of children.

if you want to have a nice and relaxing sunday, do not watch the new Hulu documentary on Hurricane Katrina. if you want to shake with rage and anger over the total failure of this nation's government and media establishment, watch the Hulu documentary on Katrina (this is a recommendation)

Then book Five Days at Memorial still haunts me.

If it’s any consolation, every official interview still clearly hates Brownie with the heat of 1000 suns.

still thinking about the Montana knife maker who said you don't have to worry about tariffs if you buy american. and then three months later, he realized he imports swedish steel and german equipment. and even MiUSA equipment costs $100k more now because of tariffs

It’s almost like “Trump says he will ____” stories are pointless huh

Dems need to WARN LOUDLY that The Adults™️ are watching, taking notes, and will hold every single American accountable for laws being broken and criminal behavior toward their neighbors. That day is inevitable.

The fact that Republicans are unfazed that Donald Trump is giving special treatment to a woman who ran this country’s most notorious pedophile ring on behalf of its most notorious serial pedophile is the latest sign of the GOP’s complete moral rot.

Federal Prisons Are Restraining People for Weeks on End, Investigation Reveals The Bureau of Prisons has failed to adequately document the use of restraints, despite their potentially deadly use.

“[BOP staff] chained him to a bed for nine consecutive days, sometimes face-down. … At autopsy, he had open wounds on his wrists and ankles from the restraints, two black eyes, and bruises and cuts all over his body.”

Understandable. I hated both.
