Me too. He ran a good campaign. It's not at all clear that this diminishes Democrats' chances of winning main. As I posted above, the most recent poll showed Troy Jackson a few points ahead of Collins, while Platner was a few points behind. That same poll showed that Democrats overwhelmingly wanted Platner to drop out if another scandal emerged, which it did. I think the way Democrats could fuck this up is the party establishment tries to muscle in a candidate that Platner's supporters don't want. Meanwhile, Susan Collins doesn't seem to think this improves her chances. Good!

I've lost track too, Sis. I think we should consult an expert.

An addendum confirming this point. Sanders has now joined the chorus. Almost all Senate Democrats are calling for Platner to move aside. More important, the grassroots movement is speaking. Platner Volunteers Want to Move Forward with a New Candidate In the poll, which seems to reflect what is stated above, Collins led Platner 50 to 46. On the other hand, Jackson led Collins 48 to 43. Collins knows what she stands for. Susan Collins stands for dismissing charges of rape and sexual assault. Thanks to Susan Collins and her dismissal of rape allegations we have Rapist Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. Dithering Susan said Rapist Kavanaugh would never repeal Roe v. Wade. Until he did. Maine seems ready to dump Susan Collins. The Maine Democratic Party standing against rape simply highlights the fact that Collins stood for rape. She voted for letting a rapist take away women's right to choose.

Interesting and moving interview with Christine Blasey Ford a few years ago on the costs of speaking out as a rape victim.

Well, lucky me. I disagree with all of you. 🫢 That's a good list, Sis. But it cuts both ways. Some Republicans still have standards. Moore was nominated, but - as you note - he lost in one of the reddest states. Because Doug Jones was a better man. And some Republicans held the line and voted for him. Matt Gaetz was a bridge too far for Republican MOCs that he bragged about his sexcapades to. Yes, Trump won despite being the total raping piece of shit he is. Which is why Democrats should nominate someone in 2028 who actually has character. We have many good choices. Bottom line is I am glad Platner will almost certainly be out soon. Democrats have two choices. If we point out that Trump is a sleazebag but we have a higher standard, which I think we do, then we can say Republicans have a double standard. Or we can adopt the standard many Republicans have embraced. Anything, including rape, goes. Then there are no standards. To me this choice is a no brainer. Everyone is bitching, rightfully, that Democrats don't stand for anything. Well here Democrats are taking a stand. Including Elizabeth Warren and lots of progressive elected women in Congress. Good for them. I'm with them. I'm donating to every Senate candidate that I think has a chance except North Carolina. If Cooper can't win, Democrats will gain zero seats and could lose a few, like Michigan and Georgia. But if I assume there is a blue wave and Cooper wins NC then the potentially doable states are Maine, Ohio, Alaska, Iowa, and perennial Holy Grail Texas. I started donating monthly to Platner once he got the nomination. But I did not feel good about it. There is a boatload of dirt on the guy. This was going to be a hard race, anyway. Collins was behind in the polls in 2020 but won handily, anyway. So just on a sheerly partisan level I think ABP (Anybody But Plattner) gives us a better chance of winning Maine. What I've read again and again is that people like Platner's message, but not him. I feel the same way. Pick someone with his message but without his flaws. It is like what happened with Biden, of course. But the problem with that approach was NOT that we should have just held the line for Biden. He should never have run. With Harris at least we had a chance. I feel that Harris created enough momentum to save some Democratic Senate seats we could have lost in 2024 - like Michigan, and Arizona, and Nevada. The alleged victim also liked Platner's message, but not Platner. Here is what she said. To me that makes her two things: 1) very human, and 2) heroic. I am glad she spoke out. She deserves the same support as Christine Blasey Ford and all Trump's rape victims. She did speak to The New York Times at the same time one of Platner's conservative accusers did. But at the time Racicot was not ready to proclaim to world that she was a rape victim. I think this helps remove any doubts that this is a partisan hit job. The guy was a weak candidate. We Democrats did this to ourselves. As you pointed out, Sis, the people of Maine chose him. I blame Trump for helping to create a cesspool national political environment. Rape, grifting, lying, starting a war without explaining it - in Trump USA anything goes. The USA is now truly A BIG FUCKING SHIT HOLE in the eyes of the whole world. Woo hoo! Yeah, Trump is a total piece of shit that is turning the USA into a ridiculed piece of shit. I'd rather stand for some better alternative. Even if right now it just feels like make believe. Democrats have a winning message, if they are actually willing to fight for it. The return to democracy and working class politics that Sanders unleashed in 2016 is even more powerful now, I think. Sanders won the 2016 Maine caucus. In the 2020 Maine primary Biden and Sanders each got about one third of the vote. The fact that Mainers embraced Sanders' message again in 2026, even when the messenger was so flawed, is just more proof of the power of the message.

Congratulations, Sis. I was curious so I read a few articles about what Mamdani has actually done to make life more affordable for New Yorkers. And freezing rent was at the top of the list. I think you're exactly right. If "socialism" means lower rent or affordable housing or affordable health care, people may not hate it so much. I think Bernie has proven that. The real test is going to be whether progressives and democratic socialists can actually make life more affordable. Freezing rent is a start. Glad to know Zohran got a well deserved rim job. Asking for a friend. Could you do the same for Lindsey?

Ask Lindsey?

There's a simple answer to this, guys. Cheap beer. Bob likes cheap beer. And, Sis, you should know this. Perhaps my beloved Sister needs to spend a little more timing talking to Zohran about policy, rather than putting your big mouth to good use in other ways? 😁 The Freakout Over Cheaper Beer at Yankee Stadium Mamdani and Khan’s plan to end monopolistic pricing at NYC stadiums is good policy and good politics.

We completely agree, Sis. I mean, Bob. Bob is the name of my brother who I refer to as a McCain Republican. He is not particularly political. And he doesn't have a solid history of voting. When I ask him to name a politician he truly admired, first name he says is John McCain. And he did vote for Trump in 2016, arguing it would be "interesting." I argued that nuclear war would be "interesting". But it doesn't mean I'd vote for it. I may still end up being right. Hasta la vista, Tehran! (Or will Tehran get Jerusalem first?) 😱 I've posted this before. When I asked Bob who he would have voted for in 2020 if he simply voted on the economy, he immediately answered "Trump." I asked why. He said, "My IRA was worth a lot more." Good point. He voted for Biden, and got kicked off his rural neighbors lawn for telling his neighbor he voted for Biden. These days his favorite word to describe Trump is "megalomaniac." So Bob would agree with you, as would I. It's not just the economy, stupid. My argument actually proves that. As my nephew believes, I think neither Trump nor Biden caused the stock market or home prices to form a bubble. It's the secular bull market, stupid. But it happened on their watches. Arguably, Trump might bring it to an end with Iran. But college educated Californians despise Trump despite the fact that incomes in California went up whole he President - twice. I think there is proof of my argument in the polling data from 2020. In every other election since 2000, three things happened in CNN exit polls: 1) people who said they were worse off than four years ago voted overwhelmingly against the incumbent party, 2) people who said they were better off than four years ago voted overwhelmingly for the incumbent party, and 3) people who said their own economic situation was the same as four years ago split their vote pretty much 50/50. The odd thing about 2020 is that people who said their own economic well being was the same as four years ago broke heavily for Joe Biden. Had they voted the way they did in every other election, Trump would have won in 2020. So my belief, which I think is close to being a fact, is that it was everything else about Trump that made him lose in 2020. Like being a lying raping grifting narcissistic megalomaniac. After four years of perceived Bidenflation and wokeness, the perception in Nov. 2024 on the part of many swing voters was that the 2016-2020 Trump economy wasn't so bad. Especially if 2016 was when you reached puberty, and you were more interested in jacking off than voting. 🤔 (I know, Sis. We're no longer teens but we still jack off too much. So what? We're Gay!) Harry Enten just did a nice polling thing on how Trump has swung -50 points on the issue of inflation. In Nov. 2024 he was beating Kamala Harris on the issue of inflation. Now he has like 40 % net disapproval on how he is dealing with inflation. Only very conservative Republicans give Trump net approval on how well he has lowered prices. If James Talarico wins Texas and Jon Ossoff wins Georgia it won't be because they are cute. Even though they are. It will be because a lot of disappointed and angry Republicans don't vote. All that said, I think in retrospect it is clear that Democrats vastly overplayed the "democracy" card. Democrats did not have a democratic primary. We had an old man who looked like he belong in a coffin. Trump muscled his way to a victory in a Republican primary many assumed he would lose in 2022 or so. Who's democratic now? Trump himself said that when he saw Kamala Harris carting Liz Cheney around, he knew he would win. As in, that's the best ya got? Cart around the daughter of the Iraq War Big Lie Guy? That's the best ya got? So as much as I agree with you, Sis, and my brother Bob, that Trump is a megalomaniac and overall worthless piece of shit, I will close by repeating my long-winded self. If Democrats do not figure out how to reconnect with and prioritize the issues of working class men and women who voted for Trump in exasperation, we will keep losing. I wish! Note that I said my nephew, not me, is the one sitting on millions in paper wealth. The new joke with him is that he is just going to have to be more generous to his destitute father, mother, and uncles. I may not have my youth and beauty. But I at least deserve a nice wardrobe.

Completely agree. It is profoundly about corruption. But it's also bigger and more complicated than that. I'll say two things about one of my nephews who is my stock trading buddy. First, he argued in 2024 that the benefit of Trump winning is that Trump will own what happens by 2028. Think 1928 and that is in the ballpark of what my nephew thinks is coming. He despises Trump. And like many Millennials he views Trump and most politicians as stupid and more or less useless. He's thought for years we are invariably headed to a big market crash. So the question for him is whether it looks more like 1928, or 2008. Great Depression, or Great Recession? Either way, he thinks that as bad as it is now, by 2028 it will be worse. So Democrats are set up to take over, if that plays out. Although this nephew and most of my nieces and nephews have about zero confidence in Democrats, either. (I have one niece who brought her daughter to a Harris rally and likes donating to women candidates. I like talking about politics with her.) Second, if we are talking about my nephew, who still rents along with his wife, it's not thousands of dollars. It's millions. I was recently on a fun trip with a Boomer brother and cousin. And for fun I asked them to guess how much money this nephew had made, on paper, that day. The correct answer is he lost $4 million on paper, just that day, on a 3x semiconductor ETF called SOXL. That said, even on that bad day, he was still up something like $10 million since April. And this is a Millennial and his wife who rent part of a home in the Chicago burbs. He is a bartender and his wife works at a small family-owned business. Turns out lots of Millennials are good savers. Who knew? My point is that the dirty little secret is that a lot of middle class people who own homes and own stocks are doing very well, thank you. I think that's why the US and global economy keep holding up. Despite the war and the surge in oil prices. In other words, Trump is doing his level best to fuck it up with horrific judgment and ego. Lies and tariffs and wars, oh my! But, so far, Trump is failing at that, too. It may be my nephew is right. And the war and oil prices will be what finally pushes the economy over the edge. But Boomers are swimming in wealth. Which Millennials and Zoomers have noticed and are a little bit bitchy about. With cause. Homes prices and rents are out of control. Meanwhile, pretty much every study I have seen shows that Millennials and Zoomers have higher incomes and higher net worth than the average Boomer did at the same age. And that's in large part because they went to college, skilled up, and in many cases own homes that have gone up a lot in value. 2 in 3 Americans own homes. It's mostly the opposite of 2008 and subprime. Back then we had millions of people with little or no equity owning homes with teaser adjustable rate mortgages that were actually built to explode. Now most American home owners have either no mortgage, or a low interest fixed rate mortgage. On a home with a boat load of equity. It is, in my mind, a rock of stability. It may help to explain why so many consumers appear to be resilient. Even when the bubble housing and stock markets do crash, which they will, most US home owners will still have a home with a lot of equity. And either no mortgage or an affordable fixed rate mortgage. Although when that home equity goes away it will help drive a recession, like in 2008. The dirty little secret, which was true under Biden as well as Trump, is that lots of people in the top quarter or third of the income brackets are doing better than ever. For example, here are how bad things suck in The Socialist Shit Hole of California: Assuming the Fed is right, incomes are up about 50 % in real inflation-adjusted terms for Californians since the end of The Great Recession. It explains both the high home prices, and the chronic homelessness. Did I mention tech stocks are at all time highs? My nephew is probably right. By 2028 the party will probably end. Bob Shiller is saying that, more or less. Shiller called 2000 and 2008 right. We'll see. None of this is to say Trump is anything other than a worthless piece of shit who is possibly leading the US and the world to global war. And other fun stuff. Wanna be our 51st state? 🤢 If this were 1998, meaning the last years of the last tech bubble, Bill Clinton would be working on delivering America a budget surplus. Clinton would be ending a war of ethnic cleaning in some remote part of Europe. Not starting a war with Iran. Sometimes Democrats can get things right. Even if, like Trump, Bill was a pal with Epstein. The worthless piece of shit Trump will go down in history as the worthless piece of shit he is. And @Barknaway loves making a total ignorant ass out of himself by barking for joy at Trump's latest ignorant folly. But the show does go on in part because a lot of middle class people are doing pretty well. Along with the truly billionaire Friends Of Donald. Hopefully college educated Democrats are getting the memo that we belong to a party that has strong working class roots. Because the math is simple. There are more working class men and women that did not go to college than there are college educated Democrats like me. That right there helps explain which states are blue, and which states are red. And why Canada truly is smarter. Lots of working class Democrats are struggling mightily, of course. Some of them did vote for Trump in 2024, because they were pissed about Bidenflation. If we don't figure out how to make working class economic problems our priority, Trump - and leaders like him all over the world - will continue to be the symptom of a much deeper political problem. Rant over and out.

And fairness. I know there is the idea that like all Democrats I'm an elitist snob. Because I look down on a certain type of gullible Trump voter who actually believe Trump is in it for them. But at least in this case, they actually were dumb investors who were manipulated and scammed. By their hero Trump. Meanwhile, a smart investor these days is someone who is prepared to buy stocks when Trump does really dumb shit. It really is that simple, almost. Just wait for a failed POTUS to do really dumb shit. And make money off it. In Spring 2025 the grifting lying raping dumb ass POTUS did something really dumb: tariffs. The market tanked, I bought into it at the bottom, and I made a lot of money. In Spring 2026 the grifting lying raping dumb ass POTUS did something really dumb: war with Iran. The market tanked again. I bought into it at the bottom and I am making a lot of money. I suppose I should not be saying this, since it is a form of insider trading. All you have to do is get inside the raping lying grifting dumb shit's head. Once inside, you quickly realize Trump is a failed asshole who makes stupid gut decisions that will tank the market. I suppose it's fair. His MAGA supporters lose money based on their loyalty. And I make money based on my understanding that Trump is consistently a failed losing piece of shit. I suppose everyone is getting what they want. Or at least what they asked for. Or, to be slightly repetitive, as W. said:

I'd be up for that. Asking for a friend. If we film this as a porn movie, will it be presented cut, or uncut? 🫢

And they love it, and agree with him. I posted the numbers before, so I won't post them again. Democrats overwhelmingly think the Iran War was a mistake. Independents overwhelming think the Iran War was a mistake. A majority of Republicans approve of what Trump is doing in Iran. MAGA Republicans overwhelmingly approve. Meanwhile, the world disapproves loudly and publicly. And suffers for it in the form of higher prices for gas and other products. Trump has turned the United States into what he likes least: a shit hole, in the eyes of the rest of the world. Except for Israel. We will always have The Genocide Jew on our side. As long as we keep killing certain women and children who The Genocide Jew tries very very very hard not to kill with the bombs we give him. The Genocide Jew is a world master at being exceptionally good at trying not to kill the women and children he kills. Dan Goldman, who I respect, is whining like a bitch about anti-Semitism. With all due respect, fuck him. AIPAC needs to get a memo about its "antics", to use Trump's words. Back in the day, Paul Wellstone, a Jew, was one of Israel's biggest supporters in the Senate. Most Jews serving in the US Senate are Democrats. Back in the day, my personal wish was that Yasser Arafat spend eternity burning in hell. Arafat had a real chance for peace and a Palestinian state when Bill Clinton and Israel's last Labor PM Barak offered it to him. Arafat chose violence instead, in my view. Well, he and his people got a lot of it. Arafat's rejection of peace was one factor in The Genocide Jew's rise. That was then, this is now. Young Democrats and even young Republicans and young Christians don't know and don't care what the politics were a quarter century ago. They care about the genocide now. Being the victims of horrific slaughter, both historically and recently, is not an excuse for genocide. What happened in New York is a clear sign of where young voters of both parties are at on this issue.

An amazing excerpt from Regime Change, the new book by Jonathon Swan and Maggie Haberman documenting Trump's narcissistic and grifting Wannabe King second act. I assumed that had to be a recent quote, about the supposed perfect deal with Iran. Aka US defeat and capitulation to the theocracy. In fact, that epic drama documented above was from 2025, when Trump shoved a Gaza deal up The Genocide Jew's ass. Or down his throat. Either sound disgusting to me. Then, after that, Trump decides maybe the Jews are not so sick of Bibi after all. Nor is Trump. So Bibi comes back for a newer and bigger and better war with Iran. Which will supposedly make the regime crumble in days, The Genocide Jew argues. Long before Iran can close the Strait Of Hormuz. Trump's CIA Director says what Bibi laid out to Trump is "farcical." Rubio says it's bullshit. JD Vance actually has a spine and objects to the war to Trump's face. But Trump does it anyway. Probably putting the final nail in his second failed term in office. What the fuck does anyone else know? What a complete stupid narcissistic piece of shit. Trump has definitely earned his horrific approval ratings. And his place in history as a failed piece of shit. Even worse than W. and Iraq, it seems.

Your generosity always astounds me! 💞

Damn right, Sis! Even if you are my Sister In Cock, and I am not into incest, I still think you are sexy when you get angry! Democrats have to get out and vote. And organize. And give. I've been sending monthly contributions to Ossoff, Brown, Peltola, and Talarico since they won their primaries. I have now added Platner in Maine and Turek in Iowa. Once Michigan has their primary I will add whoever wins there. So my hope is that we can hold all the blue Senate seats, and flip North Carolina as a now fairly sure thing. Then we have to win three more. Ohio, Alaska, and Maine seem like the most likely. Iowa and Texas may be possible. Here's too much information: It's an hour long rant between three more centrist talking heads that largely focuses on this whole "democratic socialism" thing. Two points I will make. First, I was surprised by the level of derision toward this economic populism movement. Especially from Mark Halperin. All three of these guys are essentially long time voices of The Establishment. So I get it. They would all like a more centrist policy orientation. Whether that be Fox News right of center or Joe Biden left of center. But it just feels insulting. There are a few minutes around 15:00 when Halperin reads a press release from Bernie Sanders, which is mostly just facts. Like Sanders talks about how many democratic socialists are winning. And how ideas like taxing billionaire oligarchs more and providing stronger protection for labor unions are popular ideas. Poll after poll says most Americans support labor unions, and want the rich to pay more taxes. What's to dismiss or ridicule about that? I think Halperin is the best political journalist in America today. His 2Way thing did by far the best job of covering how people - especially swing voters - felt in 2024. It was no shock that for many people Trump ended up being the lesser evil. It's the economy, stupid. In a word: Bidenflation. So maybe Halperin is right that the "socialist!" bogeyman will scare moderate voters off. But if "socialism" means housing or health care is more affordable, it may not be so scary. New York is a center of capitalism in America and the world, and yet Mamdani won. The wind is at his back. Second, I completely agree with what Democrat and former Biden guy Kevin Walling says. And what you say, Sis. What really matters is turnout. And one of the tests will be Colorado's 8th congressional district. One of those Colorado races is a democratic socialist who won in deep blue Denver. So whether the Democrat is the "progressive" who was a House member for 30 years and lost, or a newcomer "democratic socialist" who won, Democrats will hold that seat. The 8th is a whole different matter. Progressive Manny Rutinel got about 40,000 votes in the Democratic primary, about twice as much as his moderate opponent. Incumbent Republican Gabe Evans got about 40,000 votes in the Republican primary, running unopposed. That's 100,000 votes added together. In 2024 Republican Evans won with 163,000ish votes, compared to 161,000ish for Democrat Yadiro Caraveo. So the fall election may have more than three times as many voters deciding who wins. And probably the ones who are most centrist or most undecided didn't even show up for the primary. What I do know is the same things were said to dismiss Wellstone. He was too radical. And he just kept hammering on economic populist themes. He was left-wing enough that he never did win in a landslide, even as the incumbent. But he won. And in Minnesota it was Wellstone and his politics that turned a losing decade around. If the Fall election is about economic populism, Manny Rutinel will probably win. He may get more people inspired to actually vote - especially if it is young voters who are pissed off. If the election is about socialism or "woke" bullshit, he will probably lose. Either way, it is on the democratic socialists or progressives to prove that they can win. And that, if they win, they can actually govern. I'm not persuaded that the solution is more moderate Democrats who have more and more corporate lobbyist money. They tend to block serious change and go along with what corporations want. Biden actually said that a lot in 2008 when he ran for POTUS. That was right after we lost about 6 million factory jobs to China or automation. Biden blamed that on Republican control under W. But he also said too many Democrats addicted to corporate campaign money just went along and did not fight like hell. The anger and cynicism that bred was Trump's ticket to The White House eight years later. I'm excited. Trump is such an incompetent narcissistic greedy piece of shit that he has opened the door for young people who stand for the exact opposite. This year and 2028 will be their big test.

You too, Sis. Not to date myself (or you), Sis, but we have been here and done this before. In the 1980's when Reaganism ruled and I was a college student in Minnesota the Republicans had pretty much a decade long lock on the two US Senate seats and the Governorship of Minnesota. I recall a conversation one day with a left-wing college professor I consider a mentor, and my best friend at the time - a liberal like me. "The problem with you, Jeff, is that you haven't figured out yet that electoral politics is bullshit." That's what the lefty college professor said to my friend. Fast forward several years and the college professor is US Senator Paul Wellstone, and my friend Jeff is his campaign manager. After Paul died in a plane crash Jeff started the training group Wellstone Action, which included graduates like Tim Walz, and current Senate candidate and likely next US Senator Peggy Flanagan. Here's a nice reason to be patriotic. I worked for Wellstone Action for a decade, training thousands of people across the country to run for political office. https://fb.watch/I7Gm6ydDfR/ As one commenter notes: Todd McNamara Wellstone was an early version of Mamdani! Wellstone never called himself a democratic socialist. But he was considered far too lefty to take out a relatively moderate (by today's standards) Republican US Senator. Yet he did. The secret sauce is economic populism. When you listen to people and try to make rent and homes and health care more affordable, turns out they like you. Who knew? Zohran knows, apparently, You are coaching him well. Enjoy the secret sauce, Sis. 😍🥰😁 Steve Bannon himself is heralding that these democratic socialists are dead serious about helping working class people with working class issues - and not corporate lobbyists. Good for them. Of course, Bannon calls them jihadists. The Establishment Democrats freaking out most tend to be the ones like Jeffries and Schumer who think, with cause, that if we could only get more corporate money in our pockets we would win more. There is truth to that. But economic populists like Wellstone and Mamdani have proven time and again that if you listen and focus on things like affordability, rather than stuff like starting wars with Iran and genocide and higher gas prices and pleasing corporate lobbyists who give you money, you win. Jeff Merkley is another one. Same story. Oregon had an even longer rule of two relatively centrist Republican US Senators. I met Jeff when he ran the local Habitat For Humanity. He helped me form Portland's first citywide affordable housing alliance and aim it at redlining banks to successfully create lots of affordable homeownership programs. Stuff like that got him eventually elected to the US Senate. Who knew people care about affordable housing? Meanwhile, Trump just enriches his family and elite pals feeding at the public trough. God bless America. We really need it right now!

You are such a whore. I love it. And apparently you are doing quite the job with your pretty boy Zohran, Sis. He is literally infectious. His socialism seed is spreading everywhere. It must taste really good. 😁

My Dad grew up in Michigan. So I know. It's a shit hole. 🫢 Fair is fair. Why don't you send Hoekstra back to the shit hole he came from? 😉

Oh. And I forgot. I have a favor to ask @RockyRoadTravel. Since you're a neighbor and being kind and all, do you think you could take in one of our Gay refugees? I'm fine with him being Gay, of course. He just runs up too much shit on credit cards. Like wars, and what not.

Honestly, I had to check. All that "pride" talk almost made him sound Gay. He's not. Being a refugee and Canadian is bad enough. A Gay Canadian refugee? I don't know how you overcome that! 😉

Um ................... will a JPG do? 😉

To be fair, that is a biased perspective. For some of us, cruelty is good. Rape is awesome. Murder and genocide are swell. Hell, Sis, as much as I love you, wouldn't it still be great if I could just blow your fucking brains out on 5th Ave? 🫢 All this could be ours, if we could simply stop being stuck up bitches and just engage in Dog Think. With Dog Think, you just have to be good and loyal and true. Like our MAGA Pup. Because if you are good and loyal and true, there is no cruelty or rape or genocide. There is just American Greatness, which is good for loyal and true dogs. But not for Us Gays, of course. Case in point, according to The Economist/You Gov poll: In hindsight, do you think the decision to go to war in Iran is the right decision or wrong decision? Democrats: 5 % right decision, 81 % wrong decision Independents: 14 % right decision, 60 % wrong decision Republicans: 61 % right decision, 16 % wrong decision MAGA: 75 % right decision, 13 % wrong decision All voters: 26 % right decision, 54 % wrong decision MAGA means never having to say you're sorry .............. for cruelty, or rape, or murder, or even genocide! Don't you wish you were a dog like our MAGA Pup? If you are a MAGA pup, you can't lose. Lies are winning. Rape is winning. Cruelty is winning. Kill Iranian school girls? That is a huge fucking victory in Dog Think! Just make sure you lie about it. If you are a MAGA pup, you will and must get your little loyalty and stupidity fix by posting thousands of Tik Toks about how Trump gloriously won the Iran War. Frankly, our stupid lonely MAGA Pup is coming up short. Stupid, I guess. MAGA says the US won the Iran war. 65 % of MAGA voters say the US won. 54 % of Republicans say the US won. 14 % of Independents say the US won the Iran war. 7 % of Democrats say the US won the Iran war. Overall, 25 % of voters say the US won, 22 % say Iran won, and 44 % say neither side won. Most people who are not MAGA think the whole thing was a mistake. God bless MAGA! God bless cruelty! God bless Trump and Republicans cutting Medicaid and food aid while they raise gas prices! God bless killing Iranian children and lying about it! God bless our Trump Pup for taking out errant Republicans who call victory "losing". Every good and loyal and true MAGA Pup knows MAGA, and Trump, can never lose!

The stupid lonely old dog lives in an alternative reality. Jordan would have fun with it. So would Bill Cassidy and a bunch of other Republican Senators. Of course, our murder pup used his teeth. Trump brought our sadistic pup to the meeting with him, and ordered Barknaway to rip Cassidy's throat open. So much for dissent. We did win the Iran war, right? Barknaway doesn't need any treats today, by the way. He got to eat Bill Cassidy's throat. And there is no need to send our genocide loving pup to the dog house. Apparently there won't be a housing bill, since Trump and Barknaway value loyalty and blind obedience over affordability and bipartisanship. Who knew? Who needs lower prices when you can be cruel instead? Barknaway is in his glory.

He's a perfect metaphor for Trump. I love it how he wastes all his time just proving to a few people how stupid he is.
