I imagine the Kalshi odds of it getting to discovery are pretty low...but, boy, would that be fun or what?

Sorry, but wtf kind of question is that? "Personally?" We get "personal" definitions of words? Oh. Wait. Nearly forgot. Originalists...that means they get to define shit however they want.

So, given all of the desperate moves being made by the fascists, they still haven't figured out the Democrats' devious means of skewing the results of an election. I suppose that's good news.

Ah, well, we shall be disappointed, I fear. Yes, they know all of that. This is red meat for the base, attempted scare tactics for the rest of us. Actual DOJ lawyers would go have a beer and laugh hysterically about this.

I'd rather the press report on it. Obama's tan suit got more coverage than this guy, who is failing physically and mentally.

Americans are wearing blinders, for the most part, or that guy would never have been reelected. I advocate the French model (mass protests over damned near everything), but we'll never adopt it because of the cowboy mentality.

Like, replacing American workers by sending industry overseas? That kind of socialism? Oh. Wait. That's unrestrained capitalism. Sorry. My bad.

For weeks now I've emailed 2-Term Susie, insisting that she face her constituents and refute each accusation with concrete evidence. I'm a little hurt, I think she's ghosting me.

Emotional? You bet! I'm furious! Beyond furious. Apoplectic! The staffer can pay my $1,100 heating oil bill and I'll calm down. But this is what America voted for. And that pisses a guy off, too.

Charles is dedicated to slashing taxes/budgets, so this won't happen at all if he's elected. It's bait-and-switch.

NPR hit at least one highlight. I was a geologist, worked in the woods in NE WA, north ID, NW MT in the 1970s. It was marginally terrifying at times. Crawling with conspiracy nuts. All manner of malevolent influences for 50 years, at least.

He will go as long as he thinks he can get away with it. Remember his TACO principle. He will leave office and be deemed incompetent to stand trial and get away with all of it, laughing at us all the way to the bank.

Changed my mind from previous post. Given his current physical and psychological condition, he won't last another two years. So, honestly, I'm not worried about him. Vance, otoh.....

Yup...it was a rhetorical question on my part, but in case anybody is still wondering, this about sums it up. But you forget the systematic destruction of public education.

Trump's Big Bad Bill has taken food assistance away from 7,000 Maine kids. It's shameful. mainemorningstar.com/2026/09/30/a...

Shows an article from Maine Morning Star. The headline reads 'Almost 23,000 Mainers lost food assistance this year-- see how many live in your town'. It shows rural Maine has been hit hardest.

Brisket is gone from barbeque menus. Beef too costly. Free chips and salsa disappearing from TexMex joints. Tomatoes too costly. This is what will bring the downfall of the regime.

DOUBLY TRUE FOR MAINE: Do not take election results for granted. Do not take negative political ads as truth. DO your due diligence on Collins's voting record and grift. DO check your voter registration. DO #VOTE early. Organized money always wins - until organized people show up. #MEpolitics

There have been a couple news stories quoting Mainers who either hadn't heard about the @propublica.org's corruption revelations or didn't think they represented anything unusual or unusually disturbing. Here's a video Mainers can send folks in their lives who fall in those categories. #MEpolitics

Yup. Look at "The Troubles" in N. Ireland. Only America is much more heavily armed. There are already right-wing militias dedicated to this prospect. Oathkeepers, Proud Boys, etc. And, yes, overreacters have been correct more often than not.
