Thanks, Rick and Andrew, for another great show! Trump's completely collapse in the swing states is astonishing. I wonder how many of those late deciders who went with Trump would like do-over on THAT vote! I wonder how many of those who decided to sit out the 2024 election over pique with President Biden would like that chance back.

Trump's approval is collapsing across the board, we haven't even hit the holidays yet. Wait until Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas gifts require a second mortgage. Oh lawd! You Wilsons have made my week.

Mr. Wilson.....I know your absolute frustration with the Democratic party over their messaging impotence is boiling over. TEACH them how to execute an effective message. For Christ's sakes, the Dumbocrats have been abysmal messages for DECADES, but they seem to be getting exponentially worse the last 10 years.

The other interesting fact is that the MAGAs want to ignore the Dems or to justify the NOT doing anything with healthcare but then said the immigrants were getting it as an excuse, when most of us know that immigrants DON'T get healthcare in this country and they also pay taxes. Why oh why are they trying to rid our country of tax paying immigrants. They are losing a whole tax base every time ICE deports more people. Yes it is the economy that isn't getting better but worse and soon inflation will be back probably higher than it was at the end of Biden's term in office!

Trump and the MAGAs gambit to blame the shutdown on the Dems giving healthcare to undocumented has fallen on its face. The only thing surprising to me is the MAGAs failure to pin the shutdown on their second favorite scapegoat and target: The trans community.

It's a huge quandary why we're not seeing MAGA messaging that the Dems shutdown the government because they want to pay for transgender assignment surgery. They're that desperate to use something like that to shift the blame for Trump's shutdown.

Cheeto Deliberately Working On Making America Violent

Cheeto and his Nazi regime want to provoke violence and make Americans feel less safe The game is fear and intimidation of the citizenry as seen yesterday in Chicago with an apartment raid that left the apartments trashed…many US citizens and children zip tied until released Cheeto has declared that the country is in an “armed conflict” with cartels as an excuse

Why else would the regime cut $$ for counterterrorism in blue cities recently reported cutting $1.5B in NYC which more broadly affects other regional communities? Cheeto has done away with other federal funding to cripple responses by local law enforcement There is little justification for such a policy except to make states and communities less safe and create cells of terrorists to maraud

This then gives Cheeto the excuse to use the military in communities as the strongman He keeps calling blue cities areas of hell and crime when nothing of the kind is happening But Cheeto needs an excuse to give himself extraordinary wartime powers

I think if we can unseat them all we should take all their personal money, Trump and Family, Cabinet members, Supreme Court and tariff gains and apply it to deficit.

Anyone who bothered to check would have known his economic actions and the slavish, cultist Republicans doing his bidding inspite of his lies and distraction tactics.

MAGA Mike put the House in recess so even if Adelita Grijalva was sworn in and took her seat there will be no vote on the Epstein Files until after MAGA Mike reconvenes the House. So it's sort of moot for now.

BTW - Trump is pressuring the four Republicans, look for Nancy Mace or Boebert to cave and flip their vote on the Epstein Files.

Gee, why don't Republicans just compromise on subsidies, healthcare and commit to Trump spending money as legislated - no rescission or impoundment of $$
