One hopes the neofascist morons will pay the price. But can we really wait until January and a new Congress? I for one am sure that a whole lotta sh@t is gonna land in the months ahead. And states dominated by christofascists are also planning ways to f@ck us up.
Right you are, Linda. Louisiana is dominated by a Mad King suck up governor, the 2 clapping seals shown in the photo that heads Jen's piece PLUS the entire congressional delegation save 1 lone Dem from New Orleans.
Living in blood red takes stamina but I will be one of the hundreds in Lake Charles who will show up for the No King(s) rally this Saturday. Not all of us in LA have consumed mind-numbing gallons of the poisoned Kool Aid.
We have the same problem here in Missouri, and the state supreme court just claimed that the insane redistricting that is designed to get rid of Kansas City's democratic congressional rep is perfectly legal. The hope here is that it will come back to bite them and that we will wind up with two dems here in the western part of the state rather than only one. It's pretty awful--and I live in a true blue region--because the idiots in the central part of the state persist in voting in favor of rational legislation (gun control, paid sick leave, women's bodily autonomy) but keep on re-electing the yutzes who have been adamant about getting rid of all of that. Ignorance and lack off critical thinking are killing the Midwest.
I really believe we can attribute the chasm to disinformation. Especially now, with individuals in the billionaire class buying up news and social media conglomerates they are purposely controlling what news gets reported, what news is omitted, and casts what is reported so it is politically slanted to further views they want to foster. This creates echo chambers, which work like algorithms. So a listener, viewer, or reader will not be given facts and news to assess for themselves -- as it used to be; but will be given either 2-sided opinions without context, or only one partisan view altogether. Remember, the goal for media is to get hits, or entice a large audience. That goal no longer aligns with honest facts and truth-telling. All you need to do is turn on one of the major news networks for the evening news and listen to the drama in the music. It seems nearly half of network news is spent "teasing" stories to be revealed, rather than simply reporting those stories. So much time is wasted in order to build the drama, to capture a larger audience. Very few facts; always he says-she says without clarifying what needs clarification, without pointing out discrepancies or asking deeper questions to clarify them in order to resolve facts for the audience. The news has become a money-making business, owned by the billionaire class, to sway the electorate, I'm afraid. Congress has dropped the ball on regulation; and the Supreme Court courted disaster with its dumb Citizens United decision, which led to unlimited, anonymous funding in elections, and dark money. Billionaires are seeking their own interests out in the open, now. Of course, the apex of corruption is now in the White House, and also occupies much of the cabinet. They have for decades corrupted our democratic processes. Trump simply stepped up, promised the world, and then broke everything -- government, the economy, foreign relations, domestic tranquility, science, education, justice, ethics, and democracy (our two-party system of checks and balances), which he achieved by breaking the Republican Party. They have no voice, no view of their own. It's astonishing to me ... the epitome of being brain-washed.
I live in central Missouri in a very rural area dominated by MAGA. Not all here though have drank the poisoned MAGA koolaid and there is a No Kings protest scheduled in Salem on Saturday.
These are the same fools who have said, the south shall rise again. I feel for you as I was stationed in Mississippi during my service days and them thinking seemingly. the same as you are experiencing, insured I would never go back and I have not. Hang in there.
What would be really interesting is if we manage to boot Ann Wagner and have 2 Democrats from the St. Louis area to complement 2 from your side. That might even scare the Schitt out of our Senators.
"the idiots in the central part of the state persist in voting in favor of rational legislation (gun control, paid sick leave, women's bodily autonomy) but keep on re-electing the yutzes who have been adamant about getting rid of all of that."
Examples: in 2024 65% of voters voted for a constitutional amendment guaranteeing women's rights to abortion and health care. Same year: 75% of voters approved minimum wage increases and paid sick leave propositions. However, 60% of MO voters statewide voted for Republicans--ALL of whom are adamantly opposed to both pieces of legislation. Q.E.D. They are stupid because they re-elect the very people who are taking away the rights they voted in favor of. Get it?!
Like you, I have great anxiety about the time leading up to the elections, and even after. One hopes it does not turn into a literal bloodbath.
The only good thing that can be said about the midterm elections is that there is no presidential contest, so the inevitable right wing anger against the results will be dispersed among the states.
Can we really wait? A relevant question. I think we can because "What did Republicans think would happen when they fully empowered a delusional narcissist, one who is so clearly ignorant of government and keen to pursue his own wealth and power, the country be damned?" Replace "keen" with "dedicated" as it is so, and not destroying the country.
The Associated Press has called a special election to the Florida State House district that includes Mar-a-Lago for the Democrat. Trump voted by mail, then claimed that mail-in voting was "mail-in cheating." You can't make this stuff up. Everyone, be sure you are correctly registered, along with your friends and family members, and vote in every election for which you qualify.
Republican senator Kennedy: “We could have had T.S.A. paid by the end of the week but the president said ‘no deal.’” GOP & MSM normalize sociopathy & serial criminality of the Chosen One.
Our County Clerk has a program of mail-in ballot tracking. They notify us when they have recieved the ballot, when it is checked for accuracy and when it is tallied. We in Macoupin County Illinois respect and appreciate Pete Duncan.
It’s a comfort when we worry about mail service, whose reliability and timeliness have degraded under Trump. As he “controls” the mail service he could perform his usual trick of making his accusation (about “mail-in ballot cheating) into a confession (i’m going to degrade mail in ballots, decreasing the mail speed and reliability, delaying postmarking, etc)
I like vote by mail- in and often do, but this year i might treat myself to the experience of turning out with my fellow citizens of whatever persuasion (which i also like.) If ICE shows up, maybe i’ll bring candy to give them, in the spirit of “Minnesota nice”. Do they still make “Good and Plenty” (for Good and Pretti)?
Calling my election clerk monthly to make sure I’m active. Sending the message that we are watching especially since my state freely gave up our voter info
It is so soothing to know that, while my brains are frying like a pan of scrambled eggs, you are keeping your cool, organizing the facts, and putting together a lucid analysis that will make me feel smart and composed. Blessings from a guy named Stacy
More seriously, Jennifer hits on something important: the fact that most Republicans in Congress have been willing enablers of Trump’s authoritarian schemes and personal grift. One reason they have done so, unmentioned by Jen, is because for the first time we have a president who threatens to “primary”—a new verb, made up to describe just the actions of one person in history—Republicans who don’t submit to his whims. And others who have solid reputations, like Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham, have gone along with him after previously claiming Trump was a threat to society, because staying close to Trump gave them power. The accumulation of power, more than money, explains 90 percent of why the MAGAts in Congress go along with Trump.
You are right on. Lindsey Graham is a disgrace. I am from S.C. and I have written to him and called almost every week since Trump has been in office. He only responds with a form letter. There are people in this state who desperately want him out! It is so frustrating to live in a state that consistently votes Republican. I hope there are people who know not everyone here supports this racist, arrogant regime. I have lived here all my life and my friends and family absolutely despise Trump and his policies. I am so grateful for people like the Contrarians where I can converse with educated, informed citizens.
And their enabling does two things which aren’t being addressed by the sane-washing MSM; it makes them complicit in every criminal act he commits and it makes them responsible for his criminality by not removing him from office when they know damned good and well he should have been booted out months ago. When the history of this is written, every single bootlicking Congressman and woman who refused to act must be held to be as guilty as the dictator for all that happened.
@Stephen Exactly. Also the consequences of avoiding meeting with constituents and refusing to take calls, so the only room they read is their own echo chamber.
Ah, the consequences of hitching the GQP to tRump's dim and ever-moving star. Coupled with their spineless and cowardly tribalism has set the American People up for a rough year. I can look out the South and East windows of my home upon cotton and peanut fields which the farmers are leaving unplanted this year... I suspect they are expecting a recession. If it is bad enough, i think the Democrats will skunk the rethugs this November.
The southern and Atlantic coastal counties of Georgia have been planting commercial citrus in impressive amounts. I wonder who they think is going to pick the fruit? There was a lot of sweet corn in my county last year. I wonder if they will plant it this year?
Americans are in for a rough decade at a minimum, and a generation is more likely. Every single action by Trump and his Republican enablers has been the exact opposite of what is needed: eliminating all incentives for renewables and EVs, actively killing ongoing projects, while adding to fossil fuel subsidies, trying to eliminate regulations out in place over decades, demonizing and deporting the immigrants the nation needs, ruining our alliances, throwing a lifeline to Putin, and of course, starting a war with no plan. The world is actively being rearranged right now, and it will never go back to the way it was. Our closest allies are looking for new supply chains, our idiot auto manufacturers are closing a EV plants to make crappy fossil cars that no one outside red America wants, and because Musk outed himself as a pervy fascist (because I guess never meeting the deadlines he announces wasn't bad enough), even Tesla is swirling down the tubes.
And all this is happening because Americans voted Don the Con back into office AFTER he was twice impeached and convicted of felonies.
The rest of the world will NEVER trust us again unless Trump and his entire cabinet (and more than a few Republicans in congress) are prosecuted and charged by 2029 and imprisoned after guilty verdicts, and there are three consecutive Democratic or progressive administrations.
Do not be so sure about a Blue wave in the midterms. One hopes it happens--but one should also remember the evil forces of War Criminal Trump will try everything they can to stop free and fair voting. We must work to stop this from happening.
Exactly so. Hope and prayer have their place in spirit, but in order to change an impending outcome, real work needs to be done. Thank you for pointing it out.
"Republicans fret privately that the Trump reign of chaos, coupled with the highly unpopular war, spells doom for them in November."
Actually, they don't have to wait that long. Democrat Emily Gregory just flipped the ruby red state senate seat in Florida where trump will be one of her constituents. Twenty nine republican seats have been flipped thus far.
I am overcome by an intense revulsion at the depravity of a human sack of waste and the vast destruction he is wielding.
I had the supreme good fortune to have met, corresponded with, and finally having worked with R. Buckminster Fuller, a renowned futurist (a modern day Leonardo da Vinci). His motto was "More with less," how to provide more for humanity with less material. He was one of the most spiritual people I have ever encountered and have written about in my first book. trump cannot be more antithetical--a typhoon of wreckage on every level.
If it weren't so tragic in the damage it has done to the country, it would almost be humorous that the felon and the hapless, self centered, spineless rubes that call themselves leaders, continue to step on the rake, yet seemed surprise, perplexed that they have egg shaped knots on their foreheads.
Paying unqualified ICE agents to stand around airports while TSA agents sit home unpaid . Brilliant. I know, why not send the mighty ICE men to Iran? Let’s see how tough they are.
As in another post, sending paid unqualified/untrained ICE agents to airports to stand around is much like deploying the National Guard in Washington, D.C. to do the same, rake leaves and pick up rubbish. They certainly were not helping the understaffed and unpaid TSA employees. We paid for that too.
It would be funny -- if it wasn't already preposterous and an outright lie -- that "SAVE" in the SAVE America Act stands for "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility." It does the opposite of protecting voter eligibility. Instead, the bill usurps state authority to conduct elections and requires voters to purchase identity documents to prove citizenship. The liars who push the "SAVE America" Act know the extreme rarity of non-citizens voting. They turn the English language upside down to justify their worship of King Trump.
The damage Trump has done and the total abandonment of their constitutional duties by the Republican party should be one of, and possibly the main, theme, of the Democrats’ mid-term elections. Every vote in favor of Trump’s agenda by every senator or representative should be emphasized in their district.
I agree with your idea for "did you vote for this? ads" but I think the majority of people in this country could care less about constitutional duties or how we got here.
At least Nero was able to distract his constituents by fiddling, Trump wanders through his kingdom dowsing gasoline every where he goes. We are witnessing a GOP lemmings Congress, bobble-headed and zombified, as they hold the rest of us hostage in tow, marching our nation towards perilous cliffs.
Only his die hard believers continue to hear Trump's babbling as truth and wisdom. The rest of us are aghast at his lying word salads, naked grifting, and delusional meandering as he inflicts mayhem and chaos to our Pax Americana, bring the world to its knees by his disoriented wanton flailing.
Not only does the emperor have no clothes, he has no brain. The GOP Faustian bargain has expired and we all are now paying the interest. Holding the line against Trump's gestapo plans is the most critical action the Democrats can now pursue.
What dosage of smelling salts will be necessary for the GOP Congress to awaken and stop the train wrecking policies from deepening and our economy's erosion? November feels too far away.
Republicans think they’re going to steal an election. Despite their stupid shenanigans, especially the mid-decade redistricting they have done it hasn’t won them any seats even in some red states like Florida. Only the MAGA’s go along with his bs, but there’s even a split growing amongst the MAGAs. By putting MarkWayne Mullin in as DHS secretary likely won’t help them either. He’s no better than KN.

Lack of critical thinking is killing over a third of the American population....

Try convincing FOX News viewers of that, half of who can't even locate the location of Trump's Epstein-Iran War on a map.

Agreed!
Good on you. Never give up the fight.
Text of my sign for this Saturday's No Kings protest:
"We the People will NEVER forget the COWARDS in Congress who kept QUIET"
Now, on to the midterm elections!
Great sign! Carry it proudly and in safety.
Good sign language, and so true! As the saying goes: Monsters will be monsters; they can't help themselves (a la DJT). But the others have a choice!
that's the best sign i've seen. BRAVO!

Just keep repeating to yourself--and your senators and congress person--"If his mouth is open, he's lying." Period. End of discussion.
Our County Clerk has a program of mail-in ballot tracking. They notify us when they have recieved the ballot, when it is checked for accuracy and when it is tallied. We in Macoupin County Illinois respect and appreciate Pete Duncan.
That is standard throughout California
@ least in my county in maryland it’s the same.
It’s a comfort when we worry about mail service, whose reliability and timeliness have degraded under Trump.

A number of stores still carry iGood 'n' Plenty, Walmart included.
And encourage anyone who votes by mail to vote as early as it’s allowed. If you’ve made up your mind, then vote, dammit.
Or dropbox if it's convenient

Liz Cheney's prophetic words ring even more true today, and grow in significance. Are you listening, Mike Johnson and John Thune?
"Someday, Donald Trump will be gone, but your dishonor will remain."
Had these people had any honor or shame, they wouldn't have gotten on this 'ship of fools' in the first place.
Yes. In addition to honor or shame, having a modicum of common sense would help, too.
If a person couldn't see years ago that The Con was a phony before aspiring to the presidency, then they missed all the cues.
Better that they’re dishonored and out of office.

JD Vance also once spoke no good about Trump. He TACOed and is now the VP. Very telling.
Ah, the consequences of hitching the GQP to tRump's dim and ever-moving star. Coupled with their spineless and cowardly tribalism has set the American People up for a rough year. I can look out the South and East windows of my home upon cotton and peanut fields which the farmers are leaving unplanted this year... I suspect they are expecting a recession. If it is bad enough, i think the Democrats will skunk the rethugs this November.
@Stephen, a tragic eyewitness observation. Expecting a recession and not enough labor for the harvest, perhaps.
The final blow to farmers really was the closing of the strait of hormuz. That threatened the price of fertilizers.
Added to that was the existing issue of tariffs and the uncertainty of foreign trade.
Why work your ass off (and farmers do just that) when the possibility of even a meager profit is a crapshoot

Keep it simple
At least Nero was able to distract his constituents by fiddling, Trump wanders through his kingdom dowsing gasoline every where he goes. We are witnessing a GOP lemmings Congress, bobble-headed and zombified, as they hold the rest of us hostage in tow, marching our nation towards perilous cliffs.
Only his die hard believers continue to hear Trump's babbling as truth and wisdom. The rest of us are aghast at his lying word salads, naked grifting, and delusional meandering as he inflicts mayhem and chaos to our Pax Americana, bring the world to its knees by his disoriented wanton flailing.
Not only does the emperor have no clothes, he has no brain. The GOP Faustian bargain has expired and we all are now paying the interest. Holding the line against Trump's gestapo plans is the most critical action the Democrats can now pursue.
What dosage of smelling salts will be necessary for the GOP Congress to awaken and stop the train wrecking policies from deepening and our economy's erosion? November feels too far away.
