I’m so sick of this cycle. Their money gets in trouble, so they’ll vote for Democrats to clean that up. But, as soon as they do, here they vote for some sort of culture wars nonsense to justify voting for Republicans.

Never-ending Cycle of Stupidity
Since 1992, every Democratic POTUS came into office with a trifecta, passed significant legislation & cleaned up their GOP predecessor’s mess only to lose the House, Senate, or both in the midterms & have the country elect another Republican when their term ends.

Clinton was the only president to balance the budget & leave office with a surplus, but despite the booming economy, HW’s dumbest son won the presidency & turned the surplus into a recession almost as bad as 1929 & started 2 wars, 1 of which was based on lies about non-existent WMDs.

Obama turned the economy around, lowered unemployment from 10% to 5% & passed the ACA & the electorate rewarded the Democrats by handing the GOP the House, majorities in numerous state legislatures & the Senate in 2014, which prevented Obama from filling the vacancy left on the SCOTUS by Scalia.

Trump’s 1st presidency was the worst in history until now & although Biden came into office with what was barely a trifecta & a diverse caucus in the 50-50 Senate, the 117th Congress was the most productive in years, yet the GOP flipped the House in the 2022 midterms & won a trifecta in 2024.

Every election, whether presidential, midterm, off-year, or special are important & the 4 Democratic senators in AZ & GA show that it’s possible to turn red states purple with good candidates & high turnout.
The only way we’ll get out of this cycle is by voting in large numbers every election.

An Amazon data center in Oregon went online in 2011. It has since poisoned “the deepest reaches of the local aquifer,” & is causing cancer/rare diseases.
“He noticed a rise in bizarre medical conditions among the county’s 45,000 residents, linked to toxins in the local water.”

CNN: Mike Johnson, who is very clearly in a very tough spot here. You can tell by how he is pretending that Democrats are in control of the senate and that the senate bill that he and House Republicans are rejecting was not actually sent over by the Republican led upper chamber

Good piece (as usual by

Two things simultaneously true:
1) Trump is becoming weaker, in *every* way, by the hour.
2) Precisely for that reason, he is becoming more dangerous.
“Raccoon with rabies” is the metaphor I keep in mind.

I was *so interested* to learn today that Trump *always* had the ability to pay DHS agents from his personal slush fund (the 2025 BBB Fund), he just chose *not to do so for a month*.
Isn’t that interesting?

Trump absolutely cratering in new Fox poll: His disapproval is at highest point ever in Fox polling. He’s underwater with noncollege whites, including men.
Crucially, those groups oppose the war. It’s breaking his base.
On the pod we dig deep into these numbers:

That never happens. Secratery of the Army provides the list and vouched for the 4, highly recommend officers.

Keep in mind: when a young Graham Platner was interviewed by his hometown newspaper in 2008 and said “I loved Iraq. I loved being there”, said that his unit had burnt corpses, and that he wore a Blackwater hat because it annoyed the libs, this is less than year after he got a Totenkopf tattoo. 1/

Platner talked excitedly about taking revenge for the deaths of his comrades in the Marines. Seems time that we heard from some of the people he served with. So far not a single person from his military days – no friends, no commanding officers – has come forward to endorse him. 2/

Good Morning, Everyone😊😊😊
Could not agree more. Also, when Democrats do have the Presidency the media and white leftist “liberals” constantly wage propaganda wars against them. That’s why I don’t march. I vote for the party who is serious about governing. This country elected him again. I don’t trust voters in this country.
