The same idiots upset about the inflation that was largely caused by record corporate profits voted for a felon who has promised to jack prices up by $3,000+ per year for the average family by slapping tariffs on everything. Women questioned about their Trump vote said they voted for him because he’d preserve their right to choose. Others were asking Google whether Biden dropped out the day before the election.

Abject idiocy is absolutely accurate.

King Dictator

That is correct.

Trump, speaking about Nancy Pelosi asked a crowd of supporters, “How’s her husband doing by the way?” and saying a “wall around her house” didn’t do a “good job” of protecting her 82-year-old husband from an intruder who fractured his skull with a hammer during a break-in last year—prompting laughter from the crowd.

Bannon will be tried for fraud in New York on state, not federal charges. If he’s convicted he cannot be pardoned by the president.

There need to be extraordinary penalties for threatening election workers, intimidating voters, or destroying ballots. How about a minimum 20 year sentence to start?

In CA, Proposition 13 limits increases and you would think it would prevent drastic overall property tax increases and the tax revenue would be fairly stable. In reality the run up in prices after 2020 has been an absolute windfall for cities and has cost property owners big time. For example, LA’s budgeted property tax revenue went up 14.6% from 2022 to 2024, an absurd increase far exceeding the general inflation level but something cities and counties have come to expect.

While I think property taxes (or some replacement) are absolutely necessary in a functioning society, in my experience they way they are implemented is ridiculous and the reason for this kind of initiative.

I wonder how safe Musk feels standing next to a hotel room window.

Not so unusual these days and way more than a few. We’ve got most of a political party that is perfectly willing to line up behind a fascist and cheer him on.

The Republicans are all for states rights as long as those states do exactly as they say.

Trump would start a nuclear war if he thought he could save himself.

Trump planned for and started this run years ago when his dementia wasn’t nearly as advanced.

Besides, plenty of people with serious mental conditions go to prison. There is only one reason he won’t be one of them. He’s wealthy and only the first part of “Liberty and Justice” applies to him.

Trump is only running because he doesn’t want to retire to a Federal prison cell.

The Senate Intelligence report on Russian election interference details Russian manipulation and misinformation regarding the 2016 election and Trump’s involvement. Volume 5 is well worth at least skimming. When you look at the evidence it is clear that the following excerpt is accurate:

The Committee’s bipartisan Report unambiguously shows that members of the Trump Campaign cooperated with Russian efforts to get Trump elected. It recounts efforts by Trump and his team to obtain dirt on their opponent from operatives acting on behalf of the Russian government. It reveals the extraordinary lengths by which Trump and his associates actively_sought to enable the Russian interference operation by amplifying its electoral impact and rewarding its perpetrators - even after being warned of its Russian origins. And it presents, for the first time, concerning evidence that the head of the Trump Campaign was directly connected to the Russian meddling through his communications with an individual found to be a Russian intelligence officer.

That is the Democrat’s conclusion and it overwhelmingly supported by the details in the report. The GOP members pretend it’s all a misunderstanding and an attempt by Trump to improve relations.

IMO the only reason Trump and his organization weren’t found to be illegally colluding with Russia is that the GOP chose party over country yet again. Republicans are willing to commit insurrection, treason and burn the country to the ground to maintain power.
