"Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner," Trump posted, adding that positions should be filled "IMMEDIATELY!"

Project 25 doesn't tolerate people voting, just the Dictator's will.

As is his odor, apparently.

No, sh^t for brains, I support Public Financing of Election for all recipients, paid for by the same Corps and Media that profit from paying off politicians to buy laws and breaks they want.

"Oh, Lord Trump, won't 'chu buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My money's all gone now, I must make amends
Worked hard for your Insurrection, no help from my friends
So, oh, Lord Trump, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Oh Lord Trump, won't you buy me a brand new RV?
Dept of Justice is trying to find me
I wait for delivery each day until three
So, oh, Lord, won't you buy me a brand new RV?

Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a new law license?
I'm counting on you Lord Trump, please recompense
Prove that you love me, I'm not like Mike Pence!
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a new law license?

Everybody!"

Trump is usually first in line for Oligarch sperm, er, I mean money.

Laura... "the Parties are the same" isn't the case here; Dems fought all the rwing campaign laws for decades, and only succumbed when CU and others made it Law, the only way to win a Race.

And many more Dems than Republicans vote for remedies and against such laws every year.

But yeah, now that money is speech thanks to Republicans mainly, money not only talks, it rules.

Our Oligarchs and the Big Corporations really have no interest at all in, 'morals'.... they aren't much of a concern for their Holy Bottom Line.

And with Trump in office, neither does our Government have much interest in doing the right thing for the People, rather than for their REAL EMPLOYERS, the ones who pay them for their campaign expenses, hence their very jobs, and promise all our politicians Golden Parachutes on a Corp Board somewhere when they retire.

It's really not that difficult to understand... most candidates for Pres run for at least a year or two, full time, to establish themselves as credible candidates.

Harris had a couple of months, and it's not like she was a household name, which is incredibly important on it's own, when she was picked for VP.

Michelle! would have done much better with those swing voters, not that she was an option, but she was a known quantity. Although still a woman in a man's world for lots of voters.

SO the already low info swing voters, and a few Republicans, chose the devil they knew rather than the devil they didn't.

And when I say 'devil', I'm being literal.

Vlad told the Ayatollayaso to tell Hamas to lay off Israel, so his Boy Donald can bring Peace to the Middle East, along with his Trump Hotel Dubai Tower.

Ukraine has already be told to make a deal with Vlad, which is his payback.

"Political operations linked to former President Donald Trump and the GOP gave millions to those that organized the Jan. 6 rally before a mob of pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol, according to a watchdog group.

OpenSecrets, a non-profit research group that focuses on campaign finance, found that Trump's political network and other Republican Party groups gave at least $12.6 million to the organizers since the 2020 election cycle began.

Trump and his affiliates haven't turned off the funding spigot since the riot, according to OpenSecrets, which found millions of dollars in contributions to the rally organizers during the 2022 cycle."

He planned and paid for the violent riot to stop the peaceful transfer of power, and he paid for the illegal Fake Electors, many of who are in prison now.

And Trumpers are proud as they can be of him... for being a traitor and a criminal.

Ah so.... in TrumpWorld when Hitler rose to power in Germany, backed by the Industrialists and voted for by the people, that made his rise acceptable and good, eh?

Your tortured 'rationales' are laughable.

- There were more billionaires writing seven and eight figure checks for Harris than did for Trump.

And yet the fewer rwing billionaires wrote a much larger total amount.... and some of them like Musk and Leonard and Thiel got their stooges, like Vance, or themselves like Musk, into power.

- Trump's victory IS Democrscy.

It is a win for the Oligarchs... just ask Musk. Or Leo Leonard or Peter Thiel.

Americans were purposefully divided over relatively minor issues so that their pockets could be picked on major issues; once again we will have billionaires paying a smaller percent of their incomes in taxes than do their workers.

You must be SO proud!

Stinkerbelle's concern for what amounts to less than 1 percent of Americans is truly noble.

Either that, or it is a scam of a sham concern; supporting dividing people over relatively minor issues in order to achieve major policy goals.

Like the Oligarchs taking over for democracy using authoritarian dictators and fascists plans like Project 2024.

Wherein we learn about the NRA's little brother, the NAR.

People who are actually concerned about lies don't listen to the Guinness World Book caliber liar Donald Trump.

OK... not a music video, but well worth the watch:
(and there IS some cool music and drone footage)

"Nov 10, 2024 KARAMAN

So much happened on this day exploring Turkey! From old civilizations from 7000 years B.C, till Roman jacuzzi's in volcanic craters, till getting lost in tunnels of a hidden city in the rocks - oh and some epic motorcycling in between! A day I will not forget very easily."

"Trump last month said the military should be used to handle what he called "the enemy from within" and "radical left lunatics."

"I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can't let that happen," he added, referring to potential protests on Election Day.

Several former senior military officials who served under Trump have sounded the alarm in recent years about his authoritarian impulses, including Milley and retired Gen. John Kelly, Trump's former White House chief of staff.

Kelly said before the election that Trump fits "into the general definition of fascist" and that he spoke of the loyalty of Hitler's Nazi generals."

Wow. Just wow... I mean, Republicans were bad enough at being the Establishment, but they are even worse as the revolting rwingers. And Establishment Republicans still LOVE their Cult Leader.

You would have at least thought they might notice that part.

Twoofy's not the one supporting a criminal traitor... that would be you.

For swing voters it seems to have been a case of the devil you know vs the devil you don't know; it's not like Harris ran for the Presidency for 1 to 2 years like most people do.

She did it in a couple of months.

And for better or worse, low info types only know what their social media tells them, and we know who owns that.

Trying criminal Presidents who have had literally dozens of their own Staff testify under oath against them and dozens of others go to prison for crimes they committed for him... isn't 'law fare', it's following the evidence and prosecuting the criminals.

Even your Cult Leader.
