No Doubt About It!

All you have to do is throw a couple of compliments at Trump, whether you mean them or not, and he will do whatever you want. It really helps if you throw in a couple of shiny baubles as well. Trump is so easily manipulated.

When one man, Elon Musk, can pour a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS into buying elections, we have to ask ourselves: 👇 Are we still a democracy, or have we become an oligarchy where the wealthiest buy the power and the rest of us pay the price?! VOTE to save democracy! 😎🇺🇸✨

Thanks for the “giggles” this morning. We definitely need more giggles nowadays.

Time for some afternoon giggles 🤣

This 👇

We have term limits for the president, now we need to set term and age limits on Senators and Representatives. We also need to have an age limit on the presidency. I am saying this as someone who is retired from my “working life”.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

Truth 💥

Since the RNC can’t put together a platform of policy initiatives for Republican candidates, they have to resort to a list of talking points that include nothing more than character assassinations and conspiracy theories, they can’t run on their successes on helping people, so here we are.

While the far right was inventing conspiracy theories that James Talarico snuck off to an Ohio mental health facility, Talarico raised $64 million of mostly small-dollar donations. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Get rid of the earnings cap on Social Security and Medicare. Better yet, have Medicare for all. Also, have a “wealth tax” of 2% on all money over $1M and 3% over all money over $1B. Those small percentage’s will never be felt by those with that much money. Also, get rid of Citizens United.

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · yesterday

The wealthiest in our country should pay their fair share into Social Security. Scrap the cap!

The more I hear from Mr. Talarico, the more I like him. I wish I was still eligible to vote in my home state, I would vote for this guy in a heartbeat. We need more young, progressive leaders in DC, leaders who are willing to move this country beyond the hateful Trumplican party we see now.

Texas Paul@realtexaspaul.com · 20h ago

What did I tell you about my guy Talarico? I told you the Democrats have fielded the best slate of candidates in decades! VOTE!!!

There may have been a time when the electoral college was needed, but there is no real justification to keep it going now. This is one “tradition” that needs to go away and make the popular vote the only one that counts.

Let's do it 👇

Yes it is, we put on our public persona every day, then fight our battles every day wondering if that day is the day we lose the war inside. If we survive the day, we have won at least one battle that day, but the war inside is not over. We just live to fight another day.

bingley567@bingley567.bsky.social · 2d ago

So, let me get this straight, James Talarico stays home for a few days because of the flu, and doesn’t post a major announcement to the world why he is at home, however, Mitch McConnell disappears for over 2 months and that is OK with the Republicans? Do I sense a double standard?

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d ago

Honestly my first reaction when these morons were all falling for the grifters’ latest hoax was that Talarico should let it go for a while to see how many Republicans would take the bait and start saying outrageously idiotic and foolish things. He did and they did.

Another example of the Trumplicans never taking responsibility for anything. Trump has said in the past that he never takes responsibility for anything, and Mike Johnson and the rest of the cult are taking their cues from their dear leader, never take responsibility, especially if it is bad.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 2d ago

They’really trying to lie their way through it 🤥

This close to an election and they are just getting around to sending out these letters and then saying your compliance is only voluntary? This is highly suspect and smacks of a last ditch effort by Trump and his criminal regime to once again interfere with the election process. He is so depraved!!!

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 2d ago

🚨BREAKING: More than 1,000 North Carolina voters will begin receiving letters this week from the state election board requesting they verify their citizenship status — although the board claims compliance is voluntary. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We can only hope. One thing for sure, he will certainly be the last “Trumplican” president. It remains to be seen if the Republican Party can come back from his influence.

Kacey Musgraves had the perfect comeback on this one. Enough said.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 3d ago

Kristi Noem picked a fight with Kacey Musgraves over her support for James Talarico. BIG MISTAKE. Musgraves fired back with a DEVASTATING one-line response that instantly went viral.

Republicans can’t run an issues based campaign against Talarico, so they do exactly what Trump would do, they run against Talarico with a smear campaign. Paxton won’t debate Mr. Talarico, they have no policies they can run on, so they resort to name calling and false accusations. Paxton is pathetic.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3d ago

BREAKING: NYT reviewed time-stamped images from a security camera at James Talarico's home, which were provided by his campaign. The images showed Talarico at the home between Oct. 1 and Oct. 8.

Of course Paxton is hanging out with known criminals, he is one himself. He brags about he has never been convicted of any charges brought against him, but he settles the cases out of court, and he has used taxpayer money to do so in some cases. He is just like Trump, they stick together.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d ago

Ken Paxton is a scumbag and a criminal. Which is why Trump endorsed him.

Exactly, I have been saying this for years, all these “pro-life” zealots have never been pro-life. They are pro-birth, they don’t care about that child once it has been born. That is the truth of the matter.

Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social · 4d ago

Correct. 🤣🤣🤣

This is exactly why the Framers insisted on the separation of church and state, so that we WOULD NOT HAVE A STATE SPONSORED RELIGION. If you want your children taught in a Christian atmosphere, send them to a private school. It is that simple.
