Yet another shitty jobs report for this White House regime, including downgrades of the July and June jobs numbers as well.

JD Vance "we are so happy with how this is going." Spin doesn't work for everyone who is driving past a gas station and looking at the prices caused by this regime's chosen new forever war.

If you guys can sit up for a second, wipe Jon Ossoff's cum off your chin, and think "big tent"

......political provocateur James Carville suggests other midterm Senate races deserve more attention such as the Senate races in Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi.

Yes, Carville can sound a little crazy sometimes. Nevertheless, he suggests the legacy media is focusing on Iowa, Texas and so on, and ignoring how close Arkansas is, and possibly Mississippi and Louisiana races as well. No matter your opinion of Carville, it's a fun listen, since, as Carville re-iterates, the legacy media has mostly ignored these races.

Honestly, I dont see how ANY voter can justify voting for any Republican candidate, when its clear they are all rubber stamps for Trumps dangerous, harmful, bigoted agenda ? Not to mention, there isnt a thing thing that the GOP is OFFERING the American people besides higher prices, war and ICE shootings. How do these things HELP us ? That should be the simple question and determinant. Trump and his miscreants are begging for "more time" to finish "fixing things, but let us remember that this is Trumps 2nd term in the Oval, so he has already HAD more time than most to "fix things" but has made them much, much worse during his time in office..... Worse for US but MUCH BETTER FOR HIMSELF, his family and the billionaires funding all his misguided projects. And he is positioning himself to squeeze every last penny out of OUR pockets and into HIS...... So someone PLEASE TELL ME, what has Trump and the Republicans DONE for you ? And WHY should his corrupt crew of legislators get any of your votes at the Mids ?

One thing about Mississippi is that electoral opinion is more "inelastic" (as the pollsters say) there, in that it is very racialized. While it looks that Mississippi is going to be even closer than last time (as close as 6% in some recent election) I think that Mississippi might need not just a political change but also a demographic one.

Arkansas is interesting because The Great Incompetent is currently attacking his loyal MAGA footman Senator Cotton for some perceived slight of some sort.

Louisiana has some of the lowest education attainment rates in the country, I don't see that State moving from the GOP side.

And we have been there and done this before.

In 2020 there were a number of polls showing the Democrat, Jaime Harrison, leading in the Senate race against Miss Graham in south Carolina. Miss Graham, bless her heart and soul, clobbered Harrison by almost double digits. And that was in a good year for Democrats.

There was just an article in Politico saying Democrats are ignoring Guv races in "winnable" states like Florida. It ain't my priority. The same article mentioned the Democratic Establishment is focusing on a few of the more likely pick ups, like the Guv races in Ohio and Iowa. That makes sense to me.

I'd rather target my money to the races where we have a shot. All my Senate candidate donations in 2024 went to candidates that had a less than 50 % chance of winning, but more than 10 % I would say. A good example in 2024 was Sherrod Brown in Ohio. As our cruel clown has gloated, every one of those candidates lost. But I have no regrets, because none were lost causes.

This year I may have the opposite problem: many or most of them will win. In some of these races the odds are now over 50 % they will win. In retrospect maybe if I had not given to Brown again and instead sent it to David Jolly maybe he could have run the Guv race in Florida. But the polls say the opposite. And while I am using my small $25 donations as an example, I think that is how it works. Democrats are heavily reliant on small donors like me since all the big special interest corporate money is weighted to Republicans who hold power.

If Democrats do get a Senate majority in 2026, 2028 will be an opportunity to go bold. That's based on the premise that the last two years of Trump will be the worst of all. So there a bunch of states like Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Missouri that Democrats could pick up in 2028. in theory.

As bad as Republicans are in this administration, we cannot forget that voters ARE NOT enthralled with Dems either, in fact, Dems have a pretty low polling on favorability. Therefore all the constant crowing and optimism of a blue wave MUST be tempered.. Its not over till the fat lady sings and the Orange dictator is HUMILIATED and reigned in....... When it comes time for the voting booth, voters may just throw up their hands and say "its ALL bullshit and worthless"...... The fact that there are still UNDECIDED voters, with the corruption and destruction of Trump is mind boggling, and a sign that for whatever indecipherable reason, a segment of America still has affection for Trump and is unwilling to give him up... MAGA is its own animal, but there are regular Republicans tethered to the PARTY, and will defend and support it to worlds end....no matter what ! Will magic and sanity come over voters once they hit the voting booths ?

Every Democratic candidate anywhere is hoping that the Trump Train (coal fired now!) is going to make a stop in their district. Best voter turnout driver for Democrats, Independents, and non-MAGA Republicans voters that Democrats could wish for.

That's the one Senate likely pick up I have NOT been donating to. Only because months ago it seemed like Cooper had it in the bag already. Alternatively, if Cooper loses, it will not be a good night for Democrats.

I actually should have stopped sending money to Ossoff months ago for the same reason. Like the Guv candidate there could maybe pull off a win. And she had me at "Go home" the night of that Atlanta riot.

But it's only $25. Money can't buy me love. Or BDE, even. But I can dream, at least.

Oh God no. Really? We are back to Ossoff's penis?

He's buffed up since that photo (which was - sadly - a good tactical move).

I was suggesting North Carolina in 2028 as being another potential to shift the Senate along with the ones you had already mentioned.

If I wanted to stage a pretextual emergency as groundwork for a coup and screw the Mid-Terms, this would be a good one.

President Donald Trump said Monday he is concerned about recent developments concerning plague Russia, which quarantined nearly 200 people after a medical researcher at a Russian institute studying plague and pathogens died in Siberia over the weekend.President Donald Trump said Monday he is concerned about recent developments concerning plague Russia, which quarantined nearly 200 people after a medical researcher at a Russian institute studying plague and pathogens died in Siberia over the weekend.

With the mid-terms I think this White House regime has given up on the House of Representatives, and they'll try to explain away the loss as nothing more than every president always losses seats during a mid-term. "Even when they are a great President", which in his case might be more delusional thinking rather than an out right lie. He is the worst President since Andrew Jackson "re-enslaved" black Americans.

This White House regime is focusing on the Senate I think. Losses here can't be excused away as historical realities. It's also the branch of government that impacts on The Great Incompetent. He wants his judicial appointments rubber stamped by compliant GOP Senators. He wants his other government appointments to sail through with no questions. He wants his kangaroo (apologies to kangaroos) investigations on his personal enemies list.

Senate races aren't gerrymandered, they are State-wide. The Great Incompetent does like his safe spaces. He can't manage opinions and thoughts that aren't grounded in his own self-interest and involve the needs or hopes of other people.

So he will go to these rallies in small rural parts of friendly States where he will half-fill smaller venues because even the MAGA echo chamber has had expensive gas poured on it, from this chosen endless war he has no hope of negotiating a deal out of.

Can the Dems really go bold? I wonder what that would look like?

For example, if Alito or Thomas retire, would the Dems block a Trump nomination, like McConnell did, when Grassley would not hold a committee hearing for Obama's now famous nominee?

The current ranking Dem on Judiciary, Dick Durbin, stated it would be wrong for the Dems to do the same.

Bless their hearts, they do want to appear their halo isn't askew. So what do we do? Clench are fists, close our eyes and wish really hard that SCOTUS will fix itself?

Will Schumer as Leader and Sheldon Whitehouse as new chairman of Judiciary do the right thing for Democracy? Will they craft a winning strategy or will they wait for a huge wad of cash to suddenly appear in their back pockets.

Knowing It was Biden as Chairman of Judiciary that assured Thomas would ascend to SCOTUS in spite of some checkered history, I remind myself not to count on much from the Dems.

The legacy media reports the Dems will go bold on corruption. But haven't we already learned how the Judicial branch can slow walk cases that would have brought successful indictments? So does that leave impeachment or resignations as the solutions. Since a conviction in the Senate would only happen in our dreams, what is gained?

IMO, focusing on their Senate Judicial chores would be the best long term fix for Democracy.

Let's see what strategy the Dems come up with.

In the meantime, until we've seen election outcomes,
I'll vote, continue to donate, and hold my pillow tight, dreaming about better times. ❤️

The Ossoff - Collins debate is live now.
Yes he brought his BDE. Right out of the gate Ossoff punched Collins in the mouth.
Holy cow, these younger Dems are bringing it. Yeah I'm watching both the Ossoff debate and the El-Sayed debate.

I've noticed several repugs running for Congress are campaigning on restricting members of Congress from trading stocks. Unsurprisingly, they don't include restricting the executive branch from trading stocks.

It's all for show. The bill included restrictions on voting with it, so they knew it wouldn't be able to have bi-partisan support. If they really believed in it, it would be a clean bill with out any poison pills attached to it.

Trump to his cult members over the weekend at a rally in Tennessee......

"I can say the stupidest things to you people and you wouldn't care".......

That about says everything you need to know about Trumps MAGA loyalty.... and HE knows it......

But less than 30% American support DOESNT win elections....

Oh please, can we go back to the Biden disaster years. You know those four years where 14.8 million jobs were created. 5.4 million more jobs in total than the pre-pandemic peak. The pandemic - the first time that The Great Incompetent crashed the economy through his incompetence.

Remember those four years of disaster with an average job growth rate of 400,000 jobs per month. The truth is The Great Incompetent was handed a growing economy with record growth of manufacturing. This is the second time that he has crashed the economy by his shear incompetence.

You won't hear a word about it from the sheeple of the MAGA elite. Shhh shhh The Dear Leader is sleeping shhhh.

Trump is an entertainer and a carnival barker, NOT a politician.... Add to that that he is incredibly STUPID, incompetent, and INCONTINENT.... When people say he's full of shit, he IS literally FULL OF SHIT.....(check his diaper, Natalie)

Everyone but Emmett seems to know, The Trump Show is OVER, the Trump Train is derailed...... Trump is toast and voters will gobble up the crumbs in November.
