I kind of hope Zelenskyy blows up a fuel target ASAP. (At least he doesn’t blow up city buses! I guess for Trump, that’s acceptable. At least, as long as his beloved Putin does it.)

I don’t understand why a restraining order wasn’t applied for. Maybe the powers that be knew it would be futile.

James Talerico gets a better turnout than that in a red Texas city!

Why can’t the opposition get a restraining order?

Because we put corporate profits above our people. And people keep voting for that. To put people first would often times hurt the earnings of publicly traded corporations. Stock owners who are well off want to protect their portfolio. Too short sighted to see future upside.

Trump has no depths to which he will not sink. He has no loyalties. Frankly, I think he would sell out his children if there was a good profit in doing so.

Can Congress stop this? I know they probably won’t, but I just wonder if a President can unilaterally do this kind of thing. I would bet yes, per the SCOTUS unitary executive God theory.

Obviously, the seller thought he would get a lot more value from Paxton due to favors received. A straightforward cash sale is so shortsighted when dealing with a corrupt politician. And you know what? I bet Paxton didn’t even feel like he was being bribed. It’s just business as usual.

Illegal voter intimidation. I hope someone is filing for a restraining order. Can’t let this kind of tactic go unanswered.

In Harris County, Texas (Houston) you can vote at any polling location. All states should do this, statewide, so people in a high immigrant area have options to vote elsewhere. Otherwise, they’re sitting ducks. Yes, they should all be citizens. But we have seen how much ICE cares about that.

He’s lost interest. He has realized that fixing it actually requires analysis and planning. His grandstanding did not pay off, so he’s moved on to cause destruction somewhere else.

Probably predates the Roman Coliseum. The French going to watch guillotine executions. People watching public executions all over the world with the whole family. And lynchings. Meanwhile, this depraved administration happily destroys the lives of women in the name of the sanctity of life.

Well, I hope in a couple of years many of these contracts are reviewed and cancelled as fraudulently awarded.

Sadly, people will watch.

What a sad state of affairs. People used to take picnics to public executions. I guess our leaders want the public to have that kind of mindset. Civilized society is a fragile thing.

The Dems weren’t rewarded for impeaching Trump the last two times. It should only be done if they will have 60 votes in the Senate to convict. Same for Hegseth, Kennedy, Vought, Blanche etc. Meaningful investigations, thwarting at every turn, cutting budgets - that should be the focus.

Why are Republicans so determined that every fertilized egg must be given a chance to become a full term baby. But they couldn’t care less about any living person? Imagine the good they could do if they actually cared about people!

DeMooper @coopgrl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I really think his dementia is letting more of his “lizard brain” take over. I can’t imagine he was quite this ridiculous his whole life. I wish the Republican Party had more self-respect.

I wonder if there is a way to have IG’s appointed by the legislature and not be subject to executive firing? Utterly ridiculous that an executive is considered to have more power than the legislature. I don’t know where SCOTUS came up with such a stupid idea.

My niece got a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Cornell. She almost quit because her fellow male candidates were so nasty and condescending towards her. I told her she couldn’t let them win. Later in life she would want to kick herself. But why did the university allow such behavior?

Silliness. How many voters who were thinking of voting Blue would see this ad and believe it? This would only appeal to very low information voters who were MAGA in the first place.

DeMooper @coopgrl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Who would vote for him? About half the voters of Texas! It’s very strange. I live in Houston. Most of my neighbors are very nice, intelligent, caring people. Yet they consistently vote Red, no matter what.

DeMooper @coopgrl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Well, he’s kind of right. This sort of thing is “normal” for this regime.

How many MAGAs even know about this mini-controversy?

It seems like 1,000 isn’t very much. Houston has 73 early voting locations and over 600 locations for voting day. That’s just one city (although a large one.)

I know nothing about this “scandal.” Never heard of it. Why is anyone hounding another person about whether or not they are closeted? Why is that the public’s business? If he supports Trump’s venal stupidity, go after him for that.

I wish voters held their representatives to a higher standard. Of course, first they would have to pay attention, which so many do not. Which is why politicians have no shame. A vicious cycle.

Law firms are making a killing with this idiot. He generates lawsuits faster than they can be turned out. I don’t know how the courts are keeping up!

I was visiting a friend in Vermont and thought it was hilarious that her chickens came up to the door when it was snack time. I knew cats could tell time, but apparently chickens can too.

Can you imagine if a Dem governor allowed this to happen? Well, hard to imagine a Dem governor in Texas, but I sure hope Hinojosa pulls it off!

Or, when Dems get back into power, make them actual federal judges.

Actually, Vought is an impeachable officer. So, if she really cared she could at least try to rally the troops.
000
DeMooper @coopgrl.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
She could always rally the troops and get Vought impeached. To me he’s one of the top worst impeachable officers. But despite her forceful sounding statement, I doubt she’ll do anything about it.

DeMooper @coopgrl.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
ICE cruelty is not a surprise to me. What I still continue to be surprised about is how they get away with it! We apparently need to write a law saying that people injured by federal law enforcement must be given standard medical care as determined solely by attending medical personnel.

They now also seem to talk in more slangy or folksy ways.

DeMooper @coopgrl.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I would tend to agree, but I’m old. I would never in my wildest dream have shown up to an interview with food, water etc. The fact that, of course, I would have a coffee at work is irrelevant. They are presumably competing for something, and should care enough to seem serious and respectful.

Yet he’ll still get half the vote, plus or minus (let’s hope minus).

Well, I guess he’s not planning to run for President- at least, not as a Democrat.

Just like hating the Netanyahu government is not antisemitic. Politicians use dog whistles because they so often work.

Many if these would have to be enforced by Congress, and we’ve seen how that has gone.

Yes. Trump is mentally ill. The rest of the complicit Republican sycophants who could put some brakes on the chaos, cruelty and money-sucking craziness are nothing but traitors.

Well he certainly made that statement come true! Whatever we may have done in the past, he has doubled down on the race to the bottom!
