I wonder if the GOP, with all of their fear mongering and rattling on about Communism, a la Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn, just assumes that their rank and file are just too stupid to look up the actual definition of Communism. What am I asking? They don’t assume it. They rely on it.

Trump to rebrand Republicans as the Wig Party. "It's a small price toupee, I mean, to pay."
is Trump rocking a wig, or what the hell is going on here?

Great discussion by MSNOW anchors on realities of election interference. Basically, trump can talk a big game, but what can he really do? Highlight...Lawrence O'Donnell: Lets say Brad Raffensburger really did want to help trump find 11,780 votes. He was gonna hang up the phone and do exactly what?
“When DuBose released the immigrant from custody, she was unaware of the homicide warrant against him. That information was purposely withheld by the U.S. attorney in the case, who was acting on instructions from Immigration and Customs Enforcement not to disclose it The Washington Post 8/5/26
Nothing can constrain Trump? Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs. PabloReports
More than half of Americans have cut out eating out just to afford other necessities. That’s not belt tightening, that’s a country getting squeezed dry while corrupt Republicans pretend the economy’s fine. We don’t fix that by staying quiet. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Trump: "We control the strait totally" (Trump is currently trying to negotiate to open the strait because Iran controls it)

Iran did negotiate with Dumbold, remember the MOU? Trump negotiated in bad faith; his word is as worthless as a weather forecast from a goldfish. Iran already won this war. Trump's ego is his own worst enemy. There is no deal with Iran or with Hamas. There never was. #ProudBlue #DV1 #DOOR #Blues
Trump has always been a LIAR gangster, every week he and his inside traders have manipulated markets, again this week! Iran says “we will NOT trust to make any deals with the Zionist war criminals” Trump says “Iran is begging to make a deal , so no worries markets , it’s all good” I believe Iran!
He is the mad king. Off with his head .
