I am enjoying watching Republicans totally floundering at debates. Part of it is they are trying to defend the indefensible and getting laughed at. The other thing is, some are horrible candidates who have never really been in a tough race and can't handle it.

Buying diesel from Russia (at the expense of Ukrainian lives) instead of Canada is the height of stupidity.

When Vance pleads with voters to give the Trump administration another chance, he sounds just like the abuser in an abusive relationship.

Republicans have some genuinely awful candidates in Senate and Governor races. This is a wild card that could produce some surprising upsets in some red states.

Seems clear to me that Hegseth is trying to create a military establishment that will support a coup to keep Trump in office should Democrats win the presidency in 2028.

Interesting that on the WAZE mobile app (owned by Google), Lake Ontario is currently unnamed. I guess leaving the name blank is a better alternative to Google maps using the fictitious name Trump gave it.

Worth noting. All ships going between Lake Erie and Lake ONTARIO have to pass through the Welland Canal that is entirely in Canada. Also, part of the St. Lawrence River is entirely in Canada. So Canada has the equivalent of the Strait of Hormuz at their disposal.

Maine, Michigan and Ohio have close Senate races and also do a lot of trade back and forth with Canada. The timing of this trade war is likely a boost to the Democrats in those States.

Prime Minister Carney saying that a USA deal is sometimes written in pencil was brilliant. So often Trump has reneged on deals. There really is no point in negotiations until Trump is gone. #Carney

Which comes first? The crypto crash when investors finally realize they are actually worthless or the AI crash when it becomes clear there is no way companies can recover the massive investments they have made on development and data centers.

The only upside to the Blanche confirmation is this further deteriorates any remaining credibility the DOJ has in courtrooms and judges will be very skeptical of any evidence presented to them. #Blanche

All this hand wringing about "radical" Democratic candidates is getting tiresome. Are the Republicans running "moderate" candidates? The answer is almost none. Why isn't that getting equal attention in the media?

Ignorant Republican punks trying to beat up an 85 year-old national hero was one of the most disgusting displays in a Senate hearing that I have ever seen.

In my Facebook feed, it looks like every Republican in Congress was asked to post about the two year anniversary of the so-called "assassination attempt" in Butler. It has hilariously backfired. Most comments are calling it staged and the laughing emoji is outnumbering the like emoji by two to one.

The World Cup was going well until Trump put his stink on it. He ruins everything he touches.

Since Trump has basically ruined the 250 celebrations by making them all about him, the next President should give us a "do-over" celebration for all on their first 4th of July.

The Supreme Court has said that a President can legally pull the plug on people here on TPS status. But that doesn't mean a President has to do it. It is a matter of choice to cruelly take that legal status away from people who have established new lives here.

It is worth remembering that Trump made the deal that ended up handing Afghanistan back to the Taliban so he has now actually lost two wars. No other President has managed that.

Graham Platner may not be a flawless candidate but I find the media piling on his past (especially the New York Times) troubling. Remember that Susan Collins put the anti-abortionists on the Supreme Court who removed every woman's right to choose. That is far worse than anything in Platner's past.

It doesn't matter that his position is "Acting" Attorney General. Blanche need to be immediately impeached over the slush fund.

Trump's cabinet is just a bunch of stand up comedians at this point. Everything they say is laughable.

Trump rewarding his January 6 thugs with our tax dollars should sink his approval ratings even further.

Craig Booth @c5wo-re.bsky.social · 09/05/2026
All this Republican redistricting is just a "Hail Mary" attempt to hold the House. Trump's approval is in the dumper and the Democrats are polling well ahead on the generic ballot. The betting markets reflect this reality and still have the Democrats odds of taking the House at 75%.

Trump will never make a deal with Iran as good as the one he stupidly tore up during his first administration. The needless disruption, cost and deaths of this war are all on him.

Just like prohibition in the 1920s didn't stop the flow of alcohol, there is no way any attempt to ban abortion pills will be successful.

The Republican strategy for the mid-terms will be to double down on their racism and white Christian supremacy pitch. Only tool left in their toolbox and the Supreme Court has shown they are an ally to the cause.

The recent election in Hungary showed that even when heavily gerrymandered, a large turnout election with strong organized opposition can change the government. This needs to be our goal for the midterms.

Whether or not these assassination attempts are real or fake, we have reached the point where the vast majority of people just don't care.

After the shooter was quickly caught on another floor, the dinner attendees were in no danger. Hustling everyone out was pure theater to try and justify Trump's ballroom.

Any State that mandates posting the ten commandments in classrooms is telling children in public schools that God exists. That is definitely the government establishing an official religion and thus unconstitutional.

Search for the photos following the so called assassination attempt. There is not a single drop of blood on his white shirt collar in any of them. That is entirely inconsistent with any real injury to an ear.

The SAVE Act is an attempt by Republicans to make sure we don't have a 78% voter turn out like Hungary.

So after all that, Trump surrendered and Iran has won the war.

With Hegseth firing generals and Trump's absolutely crazy Easter morning post, it may well be time for a military coup to remove them from office.

I want Republican politicians to explain exactly how birthright citizenship has harmed this country. They can't because their reason for opposing it is all racism.

Craig Booth @c5wo-re.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
With the SAVE Act, Republicans are assuming it will make it more difficult for Democratic leaning voters to register than Republican voters. I am not sure this is the case. Example; those low information voters that are a big part of the MAGA base are unlikely to have passports or other documents.

A lot of the Trump's administration's mistakes are caused by firing or not listening to smart people in the federal government. Guess what? Those people actually know important stuff.

So Trump wants regime change in Iran while trying to turn the USA into a similar authoritarian theocracy.

Watching the news coverage of the attack on Iran, there was not a single reminder that Iran had signed and was honoring a deal not to acquire nuclear weapons. Trump tore up that deal in his first term and now here we are in his unnecessary war.

So have the ICE agents who shot and killed the two people in Minneapolis faced any consequences at all? Seems these murders have completely disappeared from the news.

I expected the media would be making more noise about Don Lemon's and the other reporter's arrest for covering the protest in Minneapolis. I guess they don't realize they are next.

In addition to closing the Kennedy Center for two years, maybe Trump should just close the entire country for two years. That would minimize the damage he is wreaking on it.
