The behavior and decisions of my fellow countrymen, specifically those in office, is so depressing

I forgot to post last Thursday that I voted for Ken Paxton...TO LOSE!!!!!! I voted for every Dem on the ticket, and if a Rep was running unopposed, they did not get my vote by default. And then I double checked my ballot print out before I sent it into the little recording machine/box thing.

In case anyone is still irritated by the renaming of Lake Ontario, you can email the Executive Secretary of U.S. Board of Geographic Naming at BGNEXEC@usgs.gov with your complaint.

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.

Maybe trump really is trying to tank the Rep's chances in the midterms. Then, with the Dems controlling both chambers, he can claim that he can't operate in this "unfair" environment and trying to is just a waste of his time. And then he resigns so he can spend time playing golf and spending his $6B

FUN FACT: Donald trump is responsible for about 29% of the total national debt ($11.6 trillion added across both of his terms). Stop saying this f*cker is "good at business." He bankrupted casinos, FFS.

Reading about Dan Dirscoll's resignation: "During their meeting, Trump was reportedly shocked when Driscoll told him just how many officials had been fired, stepped down, or not selected for promotion under Hegseth—something you’d think the president would already know about" No kidding.

I just saw a politcal ad for Greg Abbott where he claims that Rep. passed a const'l amendment prohibiting a state income tax and that Dem voted against it. It leaves out the important fact that texas already has a law that said voters would have to vote on the implementation of an income tax.

Do we need to start a rumor that the real reason Mitch McConnell has been out of the public eye for so long is because he is recovering from "gender affirming surgery" and that is the real reason why we haven't seen any appearances of her?

I think someone needs to make a deepfake of Donald Trump sounding reasonable and intelligent and presidential and when all his allies and MAGA people start praising it, "see: trump can be presidential", we can all scream DEEPFAKE!! (with the "duh, you dumbass" implied)

So I was reading an article about a judge pausing discovery in a suit where trump is trying to sue the WSJ for defamation, and it showed this image. I think whoever Patricia Diaz is, she is going to get a lot of unwanted emails.

A disgrace

The Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of Iran war casualties. They explain that this is because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April." Free gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...

BREAKING NEWS: House Majority Leader Steve Scalise has a major drinking problem. It's the only reasonable explanation for him thinking you have to show ID when eating at Olive Garden.

You know who is from South Carolina who isn't employed right now and could be appointed interim Senator for a few months before the special election? Stephen Colbert. #StephenColbertForSenateSC

Yeah, wouldn't want those kids to have access to information...

Many schools rely on consumer fees funneled through the federal government to cut internet costs. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr called for ending this program before Donald Trump tapped him for the job. n.pr/4ydyljh

If 2020 election was stolen & Trump actually won then he has to vacate the WH immediately. 22nd amndmnt says that a person can only be ELECTED twice. It does NOT say they can SERVE twice. So if elected in 2016 and 2020, then he can't be elected in 2024 (Unconstitutional). That's 1 too many times.
