"Follow the money" - Deep Throat To the GOP: You broke it, you bought it. Break up the DHS

If Dems take charge they should immediately charge Musk and Starlink with Logan Act violations for conducting private foreign policy and start steps to seize operations of Starlink for national security.

Question. Isn't Musk's slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine a violation of the Logan Act? Think this DOJ will prosecute him?

Time to ask every Republican running for office "Your party keeps pushing this anti trans/Dems are Socialist narrative. Overnight, UA blew up Russian data centers and online accounts pushing these narratives dropped to zero. Does it bother you that your main supporters online are Russian bots?"

Democrats want Medicare for All, a system where everyone is covered, people pay according to their ability, and corporations no longer have to cover employees. Republicans whine that it won't work. But what is the Repiblican plan? Time to show your cards. We won't wait two weeks anymore.

Watching the ballgame. What is the logic of having the same commercial run back to back, over and over again. It is annoying enough for deceptive political ads but restaurants? Way to guarantee I won't vote for you or go to your restaurant.

Not sure if it was Trump or Senate Leadership Fund (which I'm sure Donnie controls) that chose to run a discredited trans ad against Sherrod Brown 20TIMES during the MLB playoff games last night. The ad is full of lies and just pissed Ohioans off. Our response 'We get it but we're not that dumb'

Hey Donnie: If you think the media is being mean to you for reporting the facts instead of attacking the media maybe change your behavior. You know, stop being a corrupt asshole.

Real question. If Mike Johnson pulls what Judge Luttig fears and refuses to install newly elected Democrats in the House can he be tried for treason? Not by Trump's Justice department but subsequently.

Paraphrasing Galbraith "Conservatism is just an intellectual justification for selfishness" MAGA is just a non intellectual way to add in cruelty, misogeny, hatred, fascism, and thievery into the mix. Christian Nationalism is taking all of the above and hiding it behind a cross.

I wonder at what point our GOP congressmen will realize that they will not have Trump being Trump to hide behind and will have to answer for their role in aiding and abetting, or ignoring, the thievery and destruction of our Democracy? 'What did you do during the kleptocracy, Daddy?"

When Kuschev pounded his shoe on the podium and declared he would destroy America from within, he couldn't have hoped for more than what the Hegseth and Trump crowd are doing right now. This would be the Soviet's dream scenario.

I wish the Republican party would take responsibility for their actions. Not just the fraud and kleptocracy but the deaths they directly or indirectly caused. Palestine, Iran, Venezuela, Africa (USAid cuts), as well as ICE all across America. Not to mention the honors student who committed suicide

It appears that Bernie Moreno lied about the FAA studying closing Burke airport. Ramaswamy is lying in his new ad about Amy Acton. Max Miller has lied several times lately. I'm just going to assume Ohio Republicans are lying until I see a headline that blares " An Ohio Republican told the truth!"

Hakeem Jefferies could have met with anyone in the administration to discuss working together. He met with Kushner, the Tom Hagen (from the Godfather) of the Trump crime family. Kushner has no role in government other than protecting and enriching the Trump family.

The Republican platform is essentially what the KKK and the John Birch society wanted the US to become. Party of Lincoln my ass.

Canada's PM is an economist. Mexico's President is an economist The US's President is a guy who bankrupted a casino who thinks he is a genius.. Is like trying to discuss nuclear physics with a basset hound.

When Dems take the congress and, eventually, the Presidency and the Republicans use the debt as a talking point the official Democratic response should be "Oh fuck all the way off!‘

Bluesky may not be the best place to ask this but where is the line for you Republicans? You are obviously fine with pedophiles, wife beaters, corrupt thieves, traitors, war profiteers, and people destroying Democracy as long as they have an R next to their name. So, where is the line for you?

I am hopeful that things have gone quiet on Max Miller. It either means he is either negotiating a big payout to quit or Republicans have given up trying to convince him. I hope it is the latter. If Miller blows the Monday deadline Republicans will be either with a damaged candidate or none at all.

We have seen our Republican congressmen in every mafia movie. They are the corrupt cop on the beat who is paid or threatened to look the other way while the hoods commit crimes. They act out of fear or their own self interest rather than doing their jobs. Time to replace them with "good cop".

Republicans yelling about communists has the same credibility as a pickpocket yelling 'Oh my God! Look at that!' while he steals your wallet.

This primary has outed a lot of 'Ideological Purity' Democrats. If you are a Democrat who says "I can't vote for X because of X" you want Republicans to win to prove you're right. That means deep down you are either a Republican or an idiot.

No shock that very "Christian" Mike Johnson won't call for Miller to step down. It's obvious that given what we've all seen/read, the R's condone spousal abuse, pedophilia, homophobia,even murder if it means saving a vote in the House. No morals, scruples, empathy, not a decent bone in their bodies

Contest! Worse Senate Delegation! There are obvious contenders like: Kentucky's Conspiracy Rand and the dead guy who broke the Supreme Court and Alabama's Dumberst guy in government and Trad wife Katie but I think mine is a contender.

Ohio has appointed Jon Husted who conspired with First Energy to make Ohio rate payers pay for coal plants in Indiana for bribes and now wants Data Centers on every corner, and Bernie Moreno who is wiling to ignore a colleague abusing his daughter and granddaughter for fear of losing a house seat.

If you persecute or look down on people because of what you read in a book you are not a 'good Christian. You are a judgemental prick.

I have often said that we are refighting the Civil War. That was driven home this weekend. I was visiting Baltimore and went on a cemetery tour. Among graves was the Booth family plot. The cemetery let John Wilkes be buried if the grave was unmarked. Some asshole put flowers where they thought

his grave was. Trump redacting facts from historical displays is part of this. We no longer have a shared history as Americans. We have a racist, Confederate history supported by Republicans and a real, shared history that is being destroyed. Our union is in danger.

"No one knows what Trump is going to say tonight." So they are using the crazy guy in the bar defense. "Give him what he wants and don't look him in the eye! He is nuts and I have no idea what he is going to do!"

Ramaswamy says if you let him cut taxes, especially his and his donors, we will 'grow' our way out of the revenue shortfall. It is the 'Wimpy Imperitive'. Like Popeye's friend who said 'If you give me a hamburger today, I'll pay you back Tuesday'.

Except Tuesday never comes except for Ramaswamy and his friends who get their money up front. This is the crux of Republican "Magical Accounting". The math never adds up. They sell the hope of reduced costs with no pain and pocket the profits for themselves leaving us holding the bag.

Time to start letting the Republicans around Trump, like Rubio and Thune, that they will personally be held responsible when their dementia riddled leader blows up the world. They removed all the guardrails and checks on him so everything that happens is their fault.

I would celebrate America's 250th if we weren't run by a bunch of undemocratic, authoritarian wannabes hiding their true intentions behind patriotic and Christian rhetoric. Instead of celebrating, I feel like I'm in mourning.

UNFUN FACT: The 2026 FIFA World Cup features 48 teams co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. Of the 48 participating nations, the United States is the only one without a universal health care system.

At first Trump's search for the Reflecting Pool vandals had an OJ searching for the real killers vibe but now it is more Captain Queeg searching for who stole the strawberries in the Caine mutiny.

I will only refer to Republicans as the 'Loyal Opposition' if they are loyal to the Constitution and not to Trump. Otherwise they are traitors to the very idea of America.
