I once heard an excellent piece of advice: "If the democrat is 10 points ahead in the polls, campaign like they're 20 points behind."

I always love how the Democrats, who self-style themselves as the rational party, can't help but feel that by even considering that they might win an election, they will put a voodoo curse on themselves Now excuse me while sacrifice this goat to Bahamut to help Troy Jackson defeat Susan Collins

energyforgrowth.org/article/four... In sub-Saharan Africa, China funds or builds roughly one in five power generation projects. They don't need to build military bases. The US used to understand this shit. China is actively replacing America right now, in all ways.

New Trump ad paid for by taxpayers: “So God made Trump. God had to have somebody willing to go into the den of vipers, call out the fake news for their tongues as sharp as serpents; the poison of vipers is on their lips. And yet stop. So God made Trump.” Jesus wept.

We took an old man in cognitive decline AND trusted advisors who ensured that ship of state was carefully piloted and wisely replaced him with…an old man in steeper cognitive decline + impulsivity + conspiracy theorizing + refuses to listen to anyone who says anything negative. It was a smart move.

Obama release about $1.7B of Iran’s own money to them. Iran war military outlays through last month, $43.6B. And they claim trump is a good businessman. Obama stopped their nuclear weapons programs for a fraction of what trump has spent while making America vulnerable by depleting our munitions.

I think what impresses me the most about our stable genius is that he made all that money on his own. He started with nothing. He grew up in a wet shoebox in the middle of a 4 lane highway, and pulled himself up by his widdle bootstraps.

#Trump wasn’t up to the task of the presidency in 2016, because he’s always been dumber than a stump. Now he’s still dumb, but he’s surrounded himself with the evil among us who continually tell him he’s brilliant while they destroy the country.

#Trump’s patter is stream of self-aggrandizing bullshit, with involuntary lashing-out at perceived enemies. He’s the same now as he ever was. He is not a human being so much as an amalgam of twenty or so disagreeable character traits. He’s not ‘finally losing it.’ He never had ‘it’ to begin with.

Under Attorney General Todd Blanche, it is nearly certain that the DOJ will not look into the lawfulness of Trump’s TV ads, putting the onus on Congress to think about how it can enforce our nation’s laws; they’ve never before been violated in such an egregious way.

I'm fairly confident in the coming election. I expect to take back the House, though maybe by only single digits. And I think there's a good shot at the Senate, with at least a squeaker of a majority. I am much less confident that the elections will be certified as they stand on election night.

The MAGA motto is when you are caught lying, lie more. They are acutely aware that narrative sells because they’re so susceptible to it… …and use it to manipulate people into handing them power and money. They think everyone is as gullible - and as hideous - as they are.

Congress: impeachment is political and legal questions are for SCOTUS. SCOTUS: the President can break the law if it’s an official act. Also only we can decide whether it’s an official act but anyway, first Congress must impeach him. Confused yet? You will be after you watch this next episode.
