Didn’t Hochul’s endorsement not influence his support at all? I feel like mamdani won’t get any benefit from their endorsements, but also that elected Dems are going to take a hit for their silence

Sure, why not

Trump won like 60-40, assuming that’s representative of the population, a state that’s 60% Republican will have 87.5% Republican representation in the house

Or just add back the comma. Putin enters Trump, talks from a position of strength"

F’in murkowski

The cowardice of it being an unsigned letter is almost the most galling part. Sniveling authoritarian cowards

Why does posse comitatus not apply here? Genuinely confused

Disgusting. CISA is absolutely critical to our national security. So much so that the first explanation of downsizing it has to be suspected intentional sabotage and treason. These experts aren’t coming back

Sadly, we could. We, as usaians are choosing not to impeach him for flagrant emoluments violations. Greedy narcissists are gonna greedily narcissist, this is on us and his supporters (even if it’s mostly on the supporters)

I do? I’m saying that there’s no reason for the world to band together and implement tariffs on us. Low volume would be another reason not to, but we do export a non-negligible amount worldwide. Most to NA, but over 300B to EU last year

Because, as we’re experiencing, tariffs are a regressive tax on your own populace and hurt the most vulnerable. Also, they don’t have to. We’re pissing off enough regular people that they’re voluntarily buying made-anywhere-but-USA. Lastly, why provoke an idiot with a huge military?

They can and will dismantle American power just by not buying our debt and then supporting a chamge in the world’s reserve currency. Trump is screwing us for generations

Jackboots back in fashion

100%. Also a hatchet man. He’s brought in, wrecks shit on purpose, gets “kicked out”, profits immensely. Now admin can roll things back 5-10% to placate the plebes and blame Musk who everyone already hates for their life being worse. That said, a lot of people would nonperformatively tell him to go fuck himself. Just don’t mistake it as anyone being on your side

Hatchet men abound

My mobile spelling has gotten to be garbage because my phone keyboard autocorrects Sometimes and I’ve gotten lazy about Swype/deleting mid-word mistakes. My pen/paper and also physical keyboard spelling remains persnickety

There are a few podcasts like that I think. Notably Hello from the Magic tavern. A sitcom, even animated, would be pretty cool!

This is what we get for being bad at math (and critical thinking)

I believe it too. What a shit time for American materiel support to collapse

Doesn’t cost him anything so why not. Plus gives message to his mob that they have free rein

Thanks, me too! But it’s been awhile since I’ve had a Representative in the House that I was happy with. House districts are too big for their stated purpose OR5 goes from Portland suburbs to Bend
