Bottoms crushed the GA governor election by 11 points!

First black woman to be a U.S. governor.

Congrats!!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

BOZO will be surrounded by Democrats.

Democrats are currently leading in every U.S. NC house race.

Now, some former officials are working on a bipartisan basis at Stanford University's Hoover Institution to draw up plans to rebuild the intelligence community in the next administration, four former US officials said.

Glad to read this. Trump & Co have gutted our government of institutional knowledge, i.e. the people who know how to keep agencies running smoothly.

I hope there are efforts underway to do the same for the DOJ and other agencies Trump and DOGE gutted of that knowledge.

In a couple of years, I suspect Trump will be aimlessly wandering around Mar A Lago property in his bathrobe while aides attempt to steer him back inside to feed him his pudding.

Snoofy is a realist who recognizes that Republicans make it more difficult to obtain State issued ID, solely as a tool for back-door disenfranchisement of lower socioeconomic status voters.

SNOOFY

Example: Alabama, which closed multiple DMV offices in minority areas to make it more difficult to get an ID.

My polling place is a short walk, so I usually wait until election day.

I especially enjoy handing back facts to volunteers for MAGA/GOP candidates.

For many years, a friend of mine was one of the regular GOP volunteers who for years manned the table for that year's candidate at my polling station just outside the 150' limit ...

He turned hard core MAGA, refused to mask, and died of COVID in 2021.

I always enjoyed rattling off a list of facts when he'd say something like "Democrats spend spend spend.." came up. I'd point out how the GOP, having unitary control under both Bush and Trump, doubled spending, slashed revenues, and created the debt and now systemic annual deficits. He'd eventually extend his hand and say, "good to see you" when he couldn't take any more.

This would be the first known 60 crash due to icing.

A friend of mine flies a 60 equipped as a medevac.

I'll bet she'll be paying attention to the investigation.

An ex-mossad agent has said that is exactly how Netanyahu got ------- to start a war with Iran, extorting him to release the files that he has spent two years hiding. Whether Netanyaho has them or not, Pedo Don believes he does and thats all that matters. That is why you don't put people in charge that can be extorted.

Dr. Larissa Portnoff, a Columbia trained child psychologist, released this video yesterday:

"Trump Says 'No Rush' to Decide On Bombing Iran Again"

Too many vanity projects to attend to ...

Dems will win control of Congress. What happens next will probably be newsworthy as Trump spends the rest of the year causing chaos. I hope not, but that's the likeliest scenario.

My hope is that this is the beginning of the end of what began in 1980; the rise of the religious (but not very Christian) right and the "Greed Is Good" era that's seen America returning to much the state it was in the 1920's, when the wealthy and powerful held a majority of America's wealth thanks to their paid-for politicians, while the vast majority of Americans struggle because political and economic power has once again been concentrated into the hands of corporate interests and the wealthy few.

I have a feeling the tide is turning.

Older generations want a return to normalcy. Newer generations have largely lost hope they'll achieve the American dream.

They're voting.

This article (out this morning) was a good read:

Same theme:

Funny! The book the priest's holding reads "Election 2026'

Lets just hope he doesn't drop a nuke on Iran after the midterms.

As an American, I'm ashamed to say nothing is inconceivable with this malignant narcissist dotard.

Especially once he realizes the jig is up and even his own turn on him.

A stat I saw was that Dems outperformed polls in 2018 and 2022.

Then again, Trump's closing case - poster boards of his vanity projects, with "no time left for 'nation'" at the end - may have shifted everything. EVERYTHING!

Putin's Palace is what I'd love to see Ukraine strike next... hit him where it hurts personally.

Destroy it so Putin knows there's nowhere safe to hide except the Kremlin basement or a subbasement cell in Lubyanka .

As Paul Harvey would say, "and now .. you know the rest of the story" about why our debt and deficits have skyrocketed again.

First, two Bush tax cuts, and now two Trump tax cuts.

Both of whom also blew up budgets at the same time like the idiots that they and the GOP are.

If only Trump had kept and renewed the 2015, internationally negotiated, nuclear agreement Iran was abiding by ...

Republican(s) Blaming Trump for Election Disaster

Where were they when they should have stood up to Trump to rein in his worst instincts?!

How weird is it that Trump's closing argument was a speech about his vanity projects...and other weird ------?

In air traffic control audio, a crew member can be heard declaring an emergency, shouting "we are in an overspeed condition descending 20,000ft per minute", before saying, "we are going to crash into the ground".

About 35 seconds after the initial mayday announcement, the last remark from the cockpit appears to be "we're out of time".

Why didn't Ukraine do this at the start of the war? Russia should have lost its petroleum industry in the first month.

Posted by oneironaut

Because Ukraine didn't have the long range weapons to do it.

NATO and U.S. weapons came with range limits.

Only recently have they developed their own and been allowed to fire NATO weapons longer distances.

Trump Says He Would Have Won Vietnam War in a Week, Mixes Up Cities

Then why didn't he summon up his (self-professed) magical juju and win in Iran in a week or two?
