Re: "I mean, when your numbers are so badly underwater on the economy, we are setting up for a very ugly fall next year for the Republicans." This is why we need to take preventive measures against both voter suppression and HACKING of the voting machines. Dump is someone who has made up his mind to never, ever lose any contest under any circumstances whatsoever, and he has the means to make that stick. He doubtless has already selected exactly who he wants in Congress and paid off the hackers to make that happen. He will use voter suppression and hacking and as many other tactics as he can to make sure Congress comes out of the 2026 elections bright screaming blood red. Will he try to cancel the midterms? Probably not. He wants to WIN them, so cancellation would be seen as an admission that he's losing. Not that he couldn't spin a cancellation somehow, but that wouldn't be his first choice.

We need safeguards, and we need to be prepared to challenge election results, no matter how much we get ridiculed as "crazy conspiracy theorists". Sometimes, conspiracies are real, and we've already seen that dump will stop at nothing.

I'm sorry, but Jake Tapper infuriates me. He treated Trump's demented, hateful, cognitively declining crazy as a valid alternative to Kamala Harris, and his "sky is falling!" Chicken Little BS about Biden (driven by personal animosity because Biden refused to sit down either him on command) helped create the shitshow we are in now. I am GLAD that his stupid nook about Biden has sunk like a stone. I will never forgive him and the other worthless scribblers who prioritized horse race, clicks, and eyeballs over informing the public.

“Mr Cheeto, Tear Down This Ballroom!”

Echoing Reagan’s words to Gorbachev WE the People have had enough with Cheeto’s government carnage and blatant disregard for rules because they seemingly don’t apply to him This calls for a French Revolution which led to the beheading of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette but this time 21st century style with the political beheading of Cheeto, Just Dance Vance, and all sycophants

After that there needs to be political exigency with legislative militancy 1 The failied coup by the US billionaires needs to punitive The wealth gap needs to be closed by tax gap legislation simplifying the tax code so the wealthy class pays 50% tax 2 The illegimate SCOTUS needs to be expanded to 13 justices 3 Cheeto’s edifice to himself ballroom needs to be partially demolished to 50% (45,000 sq ft) and named the People’s Ballroom 4 Put the country on gold standard and join BRICS 5 Codify Roe v Wade 5 Strong Immigration Reform Bill and discontinue ICE 6 Voting rights protection with a stop to gerrymandering 7 Legislation to limit Executive Branch with penalties for abuse

As was seen in 18th France WE the People hold the power and our anger should be displayed with a rapid legislative agenda to decapitate the MAGA movement and begin rebuilding our government by and for the People

I don’t understand why his polling numbers are not in the 20s or less. I don’t understand why Congress is able to be paid during the shutdown (if they weren’t, they sure would be back in session). I don’t understand why someone, a judge?, hasn’t already installed Grijalva to the House. And of course, it’s all about the Epstein files. I don’t understand why “the military” seems to be taking its time about revolting the orders that are leading to war. There is just too much anymore. (imho)
