It's funny how the republicans are all trying to run away from trump now after years of kissing his ass, despite so many opportunities to stop doing so. This tainted love he gave them...

They’re all completely insane. Vote every single one of them out. Republican Rep. Moore on Watergate: "Richard Nixon was absolutely couped out of office and was framed. All of this was fake."

Trump campaigns for Ken Paxton in Texas: "He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is. I didn't even know if he was here! I don't care."

What's more worrisome? The fact that Trump's inability to stay awake in meetings may be a sign of neurological decline or the fact that his public nodding off is triggered by his complete disinterest in listening to any voice other than his own?

The graph accompanying this chart is yet another counter-example to Trump’s ridiculous “ #Canada doesn’t have anything we need” nonsense. Sure we do. We have lots of things you need, including #tourists. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...
Chart showing Canada historically provided the largest number tourists to the US, but that number has declined sharply of late.

"He is not here to help. He’s distant, angry, a figure of nothing but venom & vengeance. He walks toward the viewer like a serial killer stalking his prey, his face a mask of contempt & barely-contained rage. His visage in this ad is glowering, almost a parody of a dictator trying to inspire terror"

Trump’s taxpayer-funded agitprop is clearly illegal — and that’s the point.

I hope you'll read this from @edwardluce.bsky.social about what DC post election will be like. I hope Dems will take in the implicit warning that disunity or lack of resolve could lead to a waste of the next two years and more damage to the country from Trump. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

A Republican midterm defeat will not be an earthquake
Democrats are likely to make gains in Congress but divided government is unlikely to derail Trump’s agenda

when I say that I privately hope the strait never opens and gasoline prices stay elevated, some people say that I am openly wishing for pain. but that's fine. because it's pain sooner or later. we figure out how to live without gas now, or in the future when everything hurts just too much

Part of me secretly hopes that members of the 11th Circuit were cool to have arguments for releasing Volume II of Jack Smith's report in January, but watching Schmitt's colossal fuck up made them move the arguments up to Nov 2.

Even worse than voting for the Iran War, he voted to abnegate Congress's constitutional authority over the use of military force and to allow Trump to wage war based on his own whims.
