BRAND new SWAMP - LIKE"NOTHING THAT ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE" (thanks Trump - you pathological liar): Kash Patel, Oregon's finest - De-Remer (and her swingin; hubby), RFK jr., Jared K., Pete Hegseth, Tulsi, Lutnick, JD Vance....I'm POSITIVE that I'm overlooking a few prime examples.

Will she ‘go home’ to “Happy Valley”? She began her political career as Mayor of Happy Valley OR. Elected to Congress in a ‘new’ OR CD (due to 2020 Census). She was 1-termed by current (D) Janelle Bynum. Considering the actions of both her and her hubby, “happy” might be a ‘reach’…bless her heart.
....and the average IQ score for hard-core MAGA members is
.......??
Not Dark Yet (mr. Dylan)
Whoever ties their anchor to either Trump or Vance, essentially has no political future. Rubio is trying his to create a bit of separation… but it’s a PhD level deal and he likely doesn’t have the skills. Next-up viable Republican on the Horizon?? anyone’s guess….
US Constitution, Art. 2, Sec. 3:
"He shall from time to time give the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and on extraordinary Occasions get people worked up over really dumb stuff (aka trolling)"
What with the War & Gas Prices some people just don't dig a little good-natured Blasphemy!
I’m hoping that both JD, and the man formerly known as “The Donald”, hit the midterm-trail in: Alaska / Ohio / Maine / Georgia…and a few other select locations. Frankly, a majority of Americans (especially those in the non-political middle) DO NOT ‘dig’ Donny & JD.
If you trust Sean Hannity to distill the major events of the day for you…”I’ll go out and say a prayer for you” (BD, 1965)
Ceasefire warms the belly of Dow dummies…
But I gotta ask: who amongst the clarity of thought sector (i.e. those who ‘get it’) would rely on: a.) Trump b.) the Iranian Government or c.) Pete Hegseth - as a basis for their Financial/Future/Investment decisions?
Up for a Game of “Spot The Looney”
The reality TV audience (me included) 'luvs' a cliffhanger. I'm doubtful that Humanity (the World's population) feels the same when it come to real life.
Trump's insane game-show approach to matters of life & death (i.e. Iran) are NOT clever. They are repugnant & reveal that he is a very sick man
Pete sez that open carry is God-given right. That is so Fk-ed up. I’m trying to believe that God (who put Jesus on Earth) most likely would get behind Diversity Equity & Inclusion: because those are Christian ‘things’…& then this crew comes along & makes ‘DEI’ a dirty word & sez that God loves guns!
He coulda been a Kareem Abdul Jabbar or a Jim Brown or a Roberto Clemente…instead he took the Herschel Walker route.
R voters will sit on the sidelines. Trump's performance is a fiasco. He's not capable of a + result w/o a benefit from cheating/corruption (which he's enjoyed since birth).
Chances of building an enthusiastic (R) voting block B-4 Nov are = to chances of Stevie Wonder being 2026 WS Home Plate Umpire
I have yet to see convincing evidence that “dumb judges” have an impact one way or the other on a country’s ‘greatness’…But the results are in: DUMB Presidents and dumb Cabinets are a lead balloon (and it ain’t pretty).
Hurry Quick! He needs a new Trafalgar poll to ‘true’ that number.
It doesn’t matter what the NY Times does. The enthusiasm gap is huge. Trump doing zilch to excite independents or the broad middle. A lot of right-leaning independents will stay home on Election Day 2026. Hell! I might even decide to retire if I were an (R) member of the House of Representatives
Even if Jack Smith is everything that Leavitt/Trump say he is (basically discredited & a fraud - which he isn't), Stand-alone evidence of Trump's deceit, especially as it relates to documents that Trump sequestered to Mara-Lago bathrooms is still valid. The Trump family et-al is strictly out for $$
Beavs beat the Trojans!
USC prematurely erupted in the 4th inning - And with that..USC shot their wad
I don’t understood why most ‘Northerners’ NEVER think about the Civil War - Appomattox was 161 yrs ago / Lincoln’s assassination by a disgruntled Southerner was 161 yrs ago - yet there is a cult of Southerners (in 2026) that are emotionally attached to that Era (I know that they are a minority)
Thanks for putting up the fight…but, whatever the ruling, it won’t save the (R). Elections are about motivation/passion. Trump had it in 2016. He doesn’t now.
No voter who can’t wait to stick it to Trump (the current majority motivation/passion) is gonna drop their ballot off at the last minute.
Sick / Deranged describes Trump to a "t".
I gotta ask, for those of you who support Trump...and perhaps you even believe that he is somehow part of God's plan...
Where is your humanity?
and what does this say about your personal GOD?...and your cherished relationship with God and The Son of God?
Just another Trump projection - He captured perfectly what millions will think when HE passes.
When I see promos from his campaign, I see a shallow person with knee-jerk simplistic solutions. There’s plenty of those types in the Senate already (most are Republicans i.e. Tuberville). Maybe I’m elitist, but the Democrats need people of intellectual depth in the Senate, not Joe Rogan knock-offs
Democrats KNOW that it's Go-Time in 7-1/2 months and they'd rather go to battle with a bunch of level-headed (future) public servants than a cadre of misfits
He ain’t decent. He just hates Jews more than Muslims. He’s been a far right figure for years. Look it up.
Here’s who Joe Kent “is” (D Party statement @ his confirmation): Kent has ties to white nationalists, has called to defund the FBI&ATF, supported Jan. 6th rioters who attacked police officers, sought political support from a Holocaust denier, dog whistles to the racist far-right…”
Kent resigned because he’s far right/anti-Semitic. From his confirmation hearing: “Kent has ties to white nationalists, has called to defund the FBI/ATF, supported Jan. 6th rioters who attacked police officers, sought political support from a Holocaust denier, dog whistles to the racist far-right… “
If I ever come to the belief that the best ‘plan’ forward is to “rely” on President Trump to fix the “mistakes of the past”…please come to my house and thrust spikes into my eyeballs. My address will be provided when appropriate.
