This one in a series of losses by MAGA over the last six months. And a 20%+ swing in voting preference in Iowa (again) isn't nothing. Similar to the 20%+ swings in the two Florida special elections earlier this year. It's a common reaction across the country, the more Americans see of Trump the more they hate him. (If he really wanted to be popular he would hide himself away, as he usually does in the last week of a campaign.) Does this mean we're going to see sanity return to the USA anytime soon? No. We (and the rest of the suffering world) are stuck with him until January 20, 2029. Is he going to get more rabid as he sees his clutch on power slipping away in 2026. Yes. October 2026 is going to be the ugliest month in USA political history I expect - entirely thanks to the current Incompetent-in-Chief. And when your team takes a win - or your nemesis (as I'm not a Democrat) takes a loss - you cheer. It's not the season, but it's a game. And games are important. So, cheer up and cheer the honest, hard fought wins when they happen. The crowd matters.

Of course it is.

The GOP has lost their third special election in Iowa this year, and the fourth was almost a loss. Luckily the MAGA super majority in the Iowa Senate has been broken for the fist time since 2022. America is on the move, and MAGA is in retreat. Jobs and the economy, it's where the Republican record is the weakest. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2025/08/26/democrat-catelin-drey-wins-iowa-senate-special-election-defeats-republican-christopher-prosch/85819325007/

Big win for Americans yesterday, the MAGA candidate was toppled in Iowa, in a very red district, and MAGA has lost it's super majority in the State Senate. MAGA Iowa will have to listen to voters and take into consideration Americans needs now. It's just one seat but America is on the move against the MAGA fanatics.

Last three Democratic presidents there were 80 million net jobs added to the economy. Under the last two Republican presidents there were 1 million net jobs created. If you hate job creation and a growing economy for non-Wall Street, vote Republican.

Do you mean South Asians or Aboriginal people? List me as confused

Russian bot or self-hating queer? What's your vote?

Canada pledged today that they would station forces in Ukrainian, as part of the security guarantees, once the hot war ended. Continuing in the tradition of peacekeepers. Maybe Canada should get the Nobel Peace prize, instead of the Incompetent-in-Chief currently squatting in the White House.

We might eventually see if there was any real concern about any classified information John Bolton may or may not have had in his home. As long as he was storing it in a bathroom or the back of a stage in a room that the public had access to - he should be good. Just ask Aileen Cannon.

Someone hasn't been taking his happy pill. What was I thinking. Pointing out that the Incompetent-in-Chief has taken out a contract on America to tank the economy and drive up the federal debt to formerly unknown levels.

I'm glad that they're going to include a question about a national independent commission to set up congressional boundaries as well - like almost every other major nation has.

TDS. Trump Delusion Syndrome. It's finally breaking. The sixth stage of grief - get the fuck off your ass and fight back against the (small)dick-tator. It's good to see there are some elected Democrats willing to step up and call out the constant horseshit from the Incompetent-in-Chief and his minions.

And ... ?

Yes. It does matter. Yes, Trump lies. And yes, his lies about "winning" are horse shit. The Nebraska farmer currently being screwed by Trump, on some level knows, he's being screwed by Trump. And whether you like it or not, we have to keep pointing out the lies and the bullshit. And yes, it is going to make a difference.

All the indicators are showing the job creation, which Trump has already tanked over the last three months, will continue to fall for the balance of the year. Consumer confidence is at an almost all-time low, Nebraska is looking at billions of dollars of deficits due to Trump's war on American agriculture, and inflation continues to climb, unlike our former Western partners. Weak on the economy. Weak on foreign relations. Weak on promoting American interests both at home and overseas. He is a weak president.

Trump is the weakest president the USA has ever had. Weak.

How much is Murkowski going to regret her vote in favor of the Big Ugly Contract on America Bill, that will wind up closing hospitals across Alaska?

Trump totally swallowed

Doug Ford is one of the more conservative right-wing Premiers in Canada. He's also, apparently, a loyal Canadian and been one of the most vocal critics of the bullshit from the Idiot-in-Chief in the White House. Ontario conservatives have an economy that is dependent on the good will of a free trade agreement that's been in place for 40+ years, and don't have the luxury of playing petty right-wing politics of the MAGA minions.

Yes, yes, yes the Incompetent-in-Chief weak leader that we are currently stuck with, has the lowest approval levels in history, other than himself in his first term. However, with a rigged system even our Incompetent-in-Chief could manage a victory given we have affirmative action for able body white males. Even is the white male is orange. Even if the able bodied white male, can't walk the full length of a golf course. The extreme right-wing Supreme Court ushered in big money anonymous money into elections. The extreme right-wing Supreme Court gutted the Voters Rights Act allowing for this new era of gerrymandering. The extreme right-wing Supreme Court has ushered in an imperial presidency of an idiot NEPO baby. And 2026 looms large in the continuation of representative democracy in the USA.

The Incompetent-in-Chief also hates Canada, probably, because they have been successful with creating a healthy, non-gun totting society, where multi-culturalism is celebrated and not criminalized. Also, Canada has lots of water. If the lakes were filled with Coke or Pepsi the Incompetent-in-Chief might not hate Canada as much. Canada's inflation fell to 1.7% in July, signaling at least two more interest rate cuts this year. Mortgage rates are just over 4% now. Canada is limiting tariffs on USA goods at the moment, because they don't want to increase taxes (aka tariffs) on Canadian consumers. I hope Nebraska will survive the Trump economic crisis being created in agriculture.

Trump is afraid of every foreign leader. He is weak. Very weak.

Trump is a weak leader. Has there ever been a weaker leader in the USA history? Carter negotiated a lasting peace between Egypt and Israel. Reagan managed to conclude summits with the Soviets where treaties to reduce nuclear weapons were signed. Clinton (mostly) kept us out of wars. Obama took out Bin Laden. Trump, has sucked the dicks of several dictators.
