This isn't the first time she's bitten people. Whatever else she is, the lady has mental problems and I hope she can get them fixed.

Ted's pretty odious but he hasn't done anything like the sort of stuff that's sinking Paxton. One "Cancun Cruz" is not something that really requires Trump armor.

Hillary had also been the subject of a multi-decade attack campaign. If it were a closer race I might be a bit concerned, but as it is, gas still costs a lot.

As I recall there was also a thing about his chasing a Black kid with a shotgun(?). But part of that was also that it seemed WAY out of character based on almost everything else.

All law enforcement are highly trained individuals who nevertheless must be forgiven any mistakes due to the rapidity of the situation and extreme danger. All other people who fail to instantly understand and follow rapid and contradictory instructions from law enforcement are just shit out of luck.

no one reads the articles. all of the quotes assume this is because the party is broke because of (spins wheel) whatever that person is mad about today, but the reason they’re scrambling is because they’re trying to run moonshot campaigns in deep red districts they ordinarily would never attempt

DNA may be a little strong there, but hoo boy this crap is easy to find. I don't think they grasp the basic nihilism of it. They aren't *all* Walmart bombers but there an awful lot of them in that crowd.

And not just Evil, but Irredeemably Evil. America in 2026 is no better than 1956, much less 1856. To suggest that something is actually better would be to suggest there is something to the "Promise of America". Which cannot be allowed because for them America delenda est.

This is something that really seems to be in the DNA of the Left. It's not enough to push back and correct the rah rah picture of America in the hagiographies. America (probably due to its position as the #1 Capitalist) is always and forever Evil.

I don't wanna suggest the Dems are perfect angels or anything. A lot of policy is over-complex ("10% tax credits for people who study accounting and move to Idaho" is sadly only partly a joke). Too many chose not to call out their opponents as the nazis they are for too long. Etc.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
And then people get mad at the Dems for offering policy solutions. Hillary wanted to give coal miners another job, but they didn't *want* another job, they wanted to dig coal. IDK why, coal mining sounds like a shit job to me no matter what the pay, but there you go.

I know Marx said that it's all class warfare (and there is some truth in that) but I really think he missed the boat on how attached to racism and cultural xenophobia people can be. The Obama freakout was real. The Metoo freakout was real.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Look at right now. We have a lot of people actually mad at Trump for deporting people. Acting all surprised that he's doing it. Did they think the "mass deportation now" signs were ironic or something? That tariffs were gonna work? It's crazy!

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I think the problem is voters, TBH. Like, I think the Dems have been slow to adjust to the shifting sands, but we constantly see where voters say they want all this Dem policy stuff and then vote for the GOP for cultural reasons or some shit.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Well they did, but the problem was, they generally didn't have the votes. You do know there are more Reps than Dems in both houses of congress right now? That's how this works, unfortunately.

LOL Cuomo sucked from what I heard but you aren't far wrong that we'd take him over fucking Greg Abbot in a heartbeat. We'd only be half screwed over then.

You do realize that much of what Trump is blowing up is stuff Dems did over generations, including some stuff from the most recent administration? I mean, if you guys are that down on it then you need to go back to planning to blow up Wal Marts and waiting for The Revolution.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
1) Trump has been impeached at least twice IDK WTF you are on about. 2) What is good is to demand something that is possible. Please try to read.

You keep blowing up those Walmarts.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
No, the important thing is to demand things that are actually doable. Budgets? Doable. Lawsuits? Doable. Remove from office? Not so much. If you have a way to get 10-15 Republicans to vote to remove Trump and Vance, I'm ready to hear it.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
No? But it would be good to demand they do something that's, you know, *possible*. Impeachment is possible. Conviction and removal is probably not, and if that is your standard, welp.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
DA's pass on trials all the time if they think they can't convict. Slightly different reasoning, but then this isn't law, this is politics. Impeachment is a *political* act. Anyway, I'm just saying I don't think the answer is clear cut. I'm not gonna argue against doing it, that's for sure.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I mean, just look at all these idiots out there saying they didn't think "mass deportation now" did not include that nice person who cuts their lawn.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
The argument against impeachment is that yet another failed trial (or trials) in the Senate will make the low info voter think Trump is innocent. I do not necessarily agree with this, but it isn't obviously wrong.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Massie has a privileged motion to impeach Hegseth sitting in the hopper. IIRC, Johnson adjourned the house so they wouldn't have to vote on it until after the mid-terms. So I think that one is gonna happen.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
I might give them MGP. But there are no doubt plenty of other offices to vote for.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Yeah sure, if you feel like dooming, I can't stop you. I didn't say nothing will happen. Just the article wants the things that can't happen yet, and is already blaming ppl for it failing, which is just dumb. And we'll need those Senate seats for Pres AOC.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Define "fight". Seriously. These are (mostly) middle-aged politicians. They argue and vote. I get it that voting and courts and parliamentary moves are boring but that's the sort of things that are effective here. They've mostly kept anti-trans language out of a host of bills, for one example.

it would be nice if people understood how government works before they decide to post nihilist drivel.

And that sucks! But unless you want to to start just shooting people, not even the ghost of John Brown can change the removal rules or override a veto.

JammerJim @jammerjim.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
The kinds of things you want to happen after this election simply *cannot* happen unless enough Republicans in congress decide to go against their mad king. That's not something the Dems control. Not trials, not jail, not removal from office. Find 10-15 R votes in the Senate and get back to me.

Down a couple of points in the polling, but the last poll from an outfit I know is not affiliated with anyone was conducted in mid September.

I assume these are two issues the GOP is still above water on, so he shoves them into every answer.
