Trump is not only an IDIOT but a COWARD, who understands nothing about actually FIGHTING and shedding blood for your country. All the while, his buddy Putin is hosting a delegation in central Asia working on an oil deal with IRAN! HE'S A TRAITOR, TOO! Aiding & abetting an enemy. Congress STOP HIM!

This smells. The Blue Wave in Texas has the Reds on the run. "Hot Wheels" Abbott's Secretary of State will use ANY excuse to slow down the vote certification, you watch. This is why turnout needs to make this election TOO BIG TO RIG!!

Walbert uses his extensive Constitutional law knowledge to explain just how hard our lawmakers may have to fight if Trump tries to steal the election again. All it takes is for Little Mikey Johnson to do do his bidding. Would he dare? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

CBS ran an UNBELIEVABLE "commercial"? in Dallas @ 1754 hrs (b4 today's Jeopardy) "paid for by the U.S. Government", that was basically a FAFO notice -directed at whom is unclear- with Trump, Hegseth & Rubio highlighting the Venezuela/Maduro operation and basically throwing threats! Anyone see that!

Come on people, I KNOW I saw it, actually thought it was a news piece at first. YouTube doesn't have it yet. I wasn't streaming, was over-the-air on KDFW Channell 11, CBS Ft. Worth-Dallas. I'm blown away. WTF is this idiot "REGIME" up to here? Meidas News will tear this up! PAID 4 BY US GOVT?? NOT!

I would think if you were at "peak Bluesky" you would not have chosen to insult anyone's cat or anything they post. Not every thought emanating from the lizard side of our brain warrants circulation. No yearbooks should be issued in junior high either.

Just watched the 2019 Netflix documentary Raise Hell: The Life and Times Of Molly Ivins. Her love for our rights & the humorous ways she went at politicians - both nationally and in Texas, ring true in today's times even more. She would've torn Trump a new ass! Watch and let her inspire you, too.

The Orange Idiot chose to endorse his mini-me Paxton over Cornyn in the GOP Senate runoff. Good news for Texas Democrats! It'll come down to battle between the MAGAts & RINOes on this one. Paxton running against Talarico is the Democrats' best hope in turning us back to BLUE in November. Go Dems!🇺🇸

Back in the day my great uncle - who had cattle and horses - would transport loads of manure to my great grandmother's garden and till it into the soil as fertilizer. I know logistics doing this for large farming ops could be challenging, but stock yards are full of upcyclable material. Just sayin'
