Years ago (might have only been a year, but these times, every day feels like months) I thought Rubio wasn't too bad for a Republican. He would like to be POTUS, but methinks he is destroying any chance he'd ever have.

"Interesting times" we live in.

Thanks! Rubio is a war criminal, of course he lies. It’s good to know Congress is finally doing something about the war, took them long enough. And the WWF structure he thinks should stay up will be a nice reminder to people of his total idiocy.

Not sure that the magas are correct in skipping town rather than holding a vote. Hard working taxpayers don't like slackers, and those senators and reps are easy to characterize as slackers with only 30+ days left to work. Those Dems running for office need to point out that the magas wander around without breaking a sweat and then hide from their constituents when they're off the job.

As Gypsy Rose Lee once said, "You've got to have a gimmick," and I hope the Dems come up with one that will unify the attention of voters, not just for the midterms, but for 2028. If anyone has any ad/marketing experience, pitch your ideas to your reps and senators. The wingers are going to keep yelling socialism and communism and bogeyman. The ultimate message has to cut through that.

Tom! Another great accounting of what's happening in the insane asylum called the trump regime. Lies and more lies. The corruption is so mind boggling one can barely grasp the incredible mountain of lies, grift, and outright theft! Little Marco has proven he has no soul, nor any smarts for that matter. Maybe he figures he'll be installed as governor of Cuba. Pulte = criminal. Blanche = criminal. Ivanka and Jared are buying an island and thouaands of Albanians are out on the streets. Must be the head criminal is on trump's "board of peace" aka boondoggle trump slush fund. And the roberts' court will soon hand down decisions that will continue undermining constitutional rights for everyone. Lisa Graves is not convinced they will uphold the 14A because the long term goal is to withdraw American citizenship from Naturalized citizens, and from children who did not have 2 parents recognized as citizens. Undermining the 14A gets the ball rolling on this goal of the white supremacists. It is time now to unmask Vought. He's one of the real BAD guys in this regime. He's smart. He's sly. He's ruthless. He's a white christian nationalist and one of the writers of Project 2025.

Thank you, TC for TAFM today. 150 days looks better but still too many. Have a restful evening!

Posted this on another blog regarding the "expose" going on of Graham Platner.

Do we all remember Al Franken? That was yet another pearl clutching by Democrats - one of my senators (?) was first up to want him to resign - Gillibrand. Over a JOKE! Years earlier. Franken was a really good effective DEMOCRATIC Senator! Well, got rid of him. Easy peasy.

I'm not making light of these accusations - but sure is convenient at this time.

Now if there really is all this "concern" and I'm sure there will be - media wise etc - now is the time to look into say Paxton? Gomez? or maybe even tdump! LONG LONG list! (what aboutism!)

The thing is, these accusations - whether true or not - put him and his campaign on the defensive

and take the spotlight off the policies he has been talking about - cant imagine what this is doing to his family and folks in Maine right now - with frankly, media vultures all over it.

Democratic pearl-clutchers need to get free flying lessons out of 10th-floor windows.

Also just saw a post on Drop-site by Ryan Grim regarding this woman who claimed to have a relationship with Platner. Doesnt sound quite so black & white!

""New York Times drops investigation into Graham Platner: The New York Times published an investigation into Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s past relationships on Thursday, with the most serious allegation from ex-girlfriend Lyndsey Fifield stating that Platner shoved her into a room. Fifield is a longtime Republican operative, with past stints at the Heritage Foundation, super PACs, and the Chamber of Commerce. Notably, after publication, Fifield’s podcast co-host Bethany Mandel confirmed on X that Fifield was the original source of the claim that Platner had bragged about “my Totenkopf”—but that when that anonymous claim had not tanked his candidacy, she went to the Times.""
