A special thanks for “NO GODDAMN LINK”. I needed the smile.

You nailed it again. I think Jake Tapper should be ashamed of himself. Trump is the dumbest person at the summit this week. He's going after Spain and Greenland again.

Gaines is pathetic too. I wish all the people would go away.

Hey SJ., Shame? Tapper and the Maggots think that's an old timey cowboy.

They are all pathetic. I wonder where Tapper is now with his little notebook. Trump screws up more in one day than Biden did in a month. It's infuriating

I'm so shocked that Ken Paxton did something illegal regarding voting. Shocked, I tell ya!

I'd truly be shocked if he did something good. I'd be shocked if any Texas republican did anything good. Just one thing.

Yes LP., Like Mitch...cycle off the planet for us.

Of all your great coverage today, I’d have to pick Note 19. "Public media must not lie. We apologize for doing so for many years." Hopefully, the US won’t go the way of Hungary under Orban. But we’re getting so close under this regime. Freedom of the press is basic to democracy!

Hey MLH., So satisfying and so bittersweet. I printed that out for our house poster wall to keep our spirits up.

Thanks Sam & Adam for that photo.

I’m still wondering why the hell Mitch’s wife Elaine is in China meeting with high level government officials?! And I don’t believe for one minute that Mitch’s condition is improving! Bullshit that people talked to him yesterday at length and he was doing great! He’s probably dead 💀

Hey BL., She and her family have big money in China, that's why the VP of China met with her. Her & her family made bank when she was the secretary of Labor in the first regime.

Here is her Wiki page:

She like all the rest of the regime is a piece of work.

Why won’t anyone do anything?

Impeach. Remove. Imprison. 🤬

Hey Bj., Isn't that the head banging question we all keep asking...yelling into the void.

Reading all this shit and asking...everyday. I was surprised that "No Kings" didn't organize a national rally for the fourth. I'm guessing they would have had he whole country -30% of the Koolaide drinkers in the streets. we would have been there.

Tapper is a fucking idiot just as Loomer who spend weekends at Mitch McConnells. It’s fucking tiring listening to a squatter in the people’s house because that orange mother fucker didn’t win the 2024 election. If Democrats had done a hand recount of that election, we wouldn’t be in this alternate fucking reality.

Hey ST....The Dem establishment, just doesn't see accountability as a thing...apparently.

But hey they are really good at letter writing.

I am experiencing PTSD from all the mentions of beating a dead horse. Twice I have had to beat one of my horses dying on the floor of his stall. We had to beat him to get him up and drag him out to put him down. I don't know where that saying comes from. I wish it'd go back.

You might be too young . . . and I hate reading of your experience; I had enough trouble putting down a dog I loved. But the phrase just means to do something that is pointless. You beat your horse *before* he died; beating him afterward would have been a waste of your time. That's all it means.

Who do they have to replace Platner? What are the options? Are the allegations true? Can he win over Collins? If so, we need him.

Skepticat's avatar

Troy Jackson, Shenna Bellows, and Dr. Nirav Shah are good potential replacements, and this Maine voter would support any of them. There are a few others lining up, but none has political experience. There are some questions about the accuser's political motivation, but I don't know what is and isn't true—apart from the most salient detail, which is that we need to be shed of Collins. Maine politics never have been quite this bizarre!

Hey Sc., What do you know about Andrea Laflame;

https://ballotpedia.org/Andrea_LaFlamme

I heard an interview with her back in April on the Daily Beans. I liked what I heard.

Skepticat's avatar

I'm embarrassed that I'm not familiar with her, but I shall do research. Write-in candidates aren't usually very strong, are they? I've been out of the country for nine months and am just getting my Maine feet under me.

I would love for that to happen to all mainstream news broadcasts, Fox first. Take it off the air forever and fine those AHs for everything they have

Tapper is a sniveling sycophant, JD is a pathetic weasel, Paxton is a smug motherfucker. Platner is a plant. NYT is dead.

Who rocks? You two, E.Jean, Zo, all the SP’s. Special shout out to Hannah Dugan who did the right thing. Hero.

Riley is a special kind of stupid.

Ken Paxton is such a man slut.

A question...Why does the DNC Leadership always suck?

From 2016...with the crooked Wasserman Shultz ..tanking Bernie

and now Ken Martin et al...shitting on progressive candidates and even some moderate ones,

in favor of backing the corporate Dems running.

Tone Deaf? Captured by their donors? Working for the Republicans?

Not properly vetting...and on and on.....
