It truly is fucking depressing that the Republican Party could absolutely destroy everything and Democrats MIGHT take the majority. If we weren’t a sick country it would be a complete wipe out.
No one needs to listen to James Carville about anything. But I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the face: It's not the lefties who hold Democrats hostage in Congress, IT'S THE MODERATES. Bernie Sanders never killed a Democratic bill he didn't like. You know who did? Joe Manchin. Many times.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 3d agoIt's the stupidity, stupid. Shut up and go away.
Forbes describes how Trump used an environmental easements on Trump National Golf Club in Florida to dodge $825 million in taxes, "give or take a couple hundred million." This is how Todd Blanche is helping Trump cheat on his taxes. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...
James Carville is 81 years old. He will not live long enough and is rich and privileged enough to never face the material consequences of his actions. But the rest of us will and have been.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 3d agoJames Carville lost the plot… AGAIN He would rather Republicans keep control of the House than see Democrats win with a narrow majority because he’s afraid of the left. Are you fucking kidding me? So we’re all fighting to stop Trump’s fascist agenda and Carville is more worried about the DSA.
I genuinely keep forgetting James Carville is still alive.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 4d agoNews Analysis: President Trump has continued to sell himself as the Republican Party’s savior. But Trump’s White House has been consumed by dramas that reinforced why polls show that his presidency itself has become a drag on GOP tickets. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/u...
Rs will literally support a psychopath in order to stay true to the team; Ds will support one in order “to not let the radicals win”. Insanity.
Yeah dude this ain’t it. You’re both getting dragged pretty hard over this.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 4d ago🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.
They’d rather us all live under a fascist regime that’s chopping the country up for parts than everyone have healthcare - shocking absolutely no one. bsky.app/profile/thet...

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 4d agoLate to this Bloomberg piece on Marc Andreessen. This is one of the key things.

“People are hungry, and they are scared. I am here because my food budget kept getting tighter and tighter.” Food inflation, gas prices and cuts to federal benefits are pushing struggling families to food pantries to help bridge the gap.

Food inflation, gas prices and cuts to federal benefits have created a “perfect storm” for food pantries, which have become vital parts of the family budget for millions of Americans.

Trump is once again focused today on the many difficult issues facing Americans.
The GOP is complicit. FFS. They ran him. They supported him. They never stop him from anything. His adminstration is complicit and running the shitshow. The Republican Congress is complicit and supporting it. Take away The Circus Barker and you have the bigger issue.
$600 million for a ballroom, and taxpayers are footing half. Trump is rebuilding Washington for himself, not America.
The entire GOP are treasonous traitors who have betrayed America.
The republicans have control of the Senate and House. They could stop Trump at anytime. They saw him in the Epstein files, saw him betray Ukraine, and saw him ruin our economy with illegal tariffs The stench of their corruption and cowardice should follow the Republican Party for generations to come
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

You either believe, as many Republicans claim, that Trump wants to do what’s right on Russia-Ukraine but keeps making bad decisions that helps Russia & hurts Ukraine. Or you believe that Trump has always been on Putin’s side. The former just proves you are a fool or dishonest.
“Under Section 115, Trump can waive sanctions and tariffs if he determines that doing so serves U.S. national interests, provided he submits a written certification to Congress and a report explaining the decision.” www.lawcommentary.com/articles/tru...
