Question. Is Mike Collins, a true White Supremacist, the best that the Republicans could do to challenge Jon Ossoff? I can see it now. Ossoff will win decisively. And the Democrats could actually win the Senate.

Excellent. I approve of Jon Ossoff's message.

The entire Trump administration is the 1927 Yankees of incompetence. And Hegseth is their leading hitter.

Trump suggested that a foreign enemy engage in nuclear obliteration against major American cities. How in the hell do you walk that back?

An affordability pitch will win voters, period...black, brown, white, or green. It's a song the Democrats can't sing often enough.

Robert C. Padilla @robertcpadilla.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Listen. There are certain things you don't joke about. The nuclear obliteration of an American city (or two) is one of those things. Only a mad man would say that.

The chances of the Democrats taking the House? 98%. The chances of the Democrats taking the Senate? 50%...and rising. The Republicans are running scared.

Pete Hegseth is an unapologetic White Nationalist. That means that he is racist, misogynistic, narrow-minded, and dangerously ignorant.

In other words, Trump wants to jail people without due process which is guaranteed by the constitution. Did I get that right?

Today's Republicans are for Donald Trump but against the average citizen. That is why they must be replaced on November 3rd.

Donald Trump is a psychopath whom we elected as president. This will go down in history as one of the great stains on our nation.

Trump's way of solving the immigration issue is to retreat into the castle, bring up the drawbridge, and fling arrows of fire on anyone who knocks on the door.

The fact that the Venezuelan man shot in the back by ICE was here in the US legally is irrelevant to this administration. The point is that his skin is brown. Stephen Miller wants him out of the country at all costs.

These claims of fraud are a ruse. The removing of 760,000 from the Affordable Care Act rolls is Trump's way of trying to kill Obama Care. He despises it with all his soul. These, of course, are the actions of a sociopath. Let us not be surprised.

Mentally, Mitch McConnell is lost. His stare is vacant. His mind is a blank slate. I'd be surprised if he even knew where he was.

Today, Thursday, September 17th, in Tucson, Arizona, gas prices are 33 cents higher than yesterday. That's 33 cents in one day.

Mike Johnson is the most spineless, sycophantic, unprincipled, ass-kissing Speaker of the House in modern history. That will end on November 3rd.
