Union thugs, progressives, woke, DEI, socialists, now communists. Republicans love coming up with progressively nastier imaginary boogiemen. Any good, accurate names for the GOP and their enablers?

Trump says he's responsible for prescription drug prices dropping 600%. A mathematical genius. No wonder his companies have declared bankruptcy 6 times. He'll bring down the US next after running up 28% of all America's debt in less than 6 years.
Heavily armed masked thugs set loose by the government roaming the streets of America was certainly not what the founders envisioned 250 years ago.
Isn't it time even MAGA caught on to the fact that whenever a Republican doesn't get the results they want at the ballot box, they cry that the election was rigged?
#Mainers see through your BS, Susan. trump told you to say this because he knows Blanche has enough votes without you. Same old story , same old Sellout Susie, different day🤷🏼♀️ wmtw.com/article/susa...
Sen. Susan Collins opposes Todd Blanche's confirmation for attorney general
U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, announced Tuesday that she will vote against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in his bid to be confirmed to the post.

Fantasy: Tillis and Cornyn screw Trump by double crossing him on the Blanche confirmation vote.

Todd Blanche promises national abortion ban as attorney general
Todd Blanche was always going to do whatever it takes to get confirmed—including threatening abortion.

How soon before Susan Collins has an ad out praising her courageous decision to vote against Todd Blanche. Notice she didn't announce that decision until it was clear the party had the votes to confirm and didn't need her vote. Collins 101.
Now that Trump has the votes to confirm Blanche, Susan Collins gets to vote against him. Good God how many times has she played this charade on #Maine voters?
250 years of American independence and Donald Trump has managed to run up 28%+ of our national debt. So much for Republicans being the fiscal conservatives. Fun FYI: this guy was the last GOP President to balance a budget. Trump's never come close.
Saw someone seriously suggest that Trump's 70 at the Bedminster club championship was so impressive that he should get an exemption to next year's Masters and silence his critics. So, which happens: a) He takes so many penalties for cheating they disqualify him, or, b) He doesn't break 100?
Instead of Trump's dream of a 1/6 slush fund to pay off his storm troopers, how about an ICE Civil Rights Abuse Reparations Fund?
Trump tells oil companies they have to lower their retail prices. How seriously do you think they'll take him after they dropped a billion on his campaign at his request/demand?
Trump says he won the championship at his club even though he has no time to practice. What the hell does he call the 100+ rounds he plays on the taxpayers' dime every year.
apnews.com/article/new-... But Federal ICE agents can shoot to kill, brutalize and terrorize. Free speech can be shut down, due process ignored and innocents dragged off to Trump Concetration camps. This is how democracy has failed to protect the American people.

Troy Jackson and his straight-talking Musk ad gets national attention. Courier News Room, with over 1 million followers on some socials, featured Troy's short vid on Elon wanting to influence elections, including in Maine. #JACKSONforMAINE #MEpolitics #MEsen
Question for Red Sox fans: They tell us that Kristian Campbell is back on track and playing the outfield, then they trade for Eli White. Does that make sense?
Trump brags that the U.S. now leads the world in oil exports. Oil companies report blockbuster 2nd Quarter profits. Makes me so happy as I fill my gas tank at $4.19 a gallon. #ThanksTrump
Do you really believe that Trump's IRS deal, including the $1.8 billion slush fund, is dead just because Todd Blanche signed a piece of paper? They'll bring it back. There's no honor among those thieves.
The Trump Reich has set a target of 250 cases referred to be processes for denaturalization by October 2026. The focus is allegedly people who lied to get into the US. Who thinks Melania, who worked on a tourist visa and lied about her education, should have to pack up and go back to Slovenia?
Hey #Texas folk, is there really a chance that Hinojosa can beat Abbott in the Governor's race?
Was looking at restaurant reviews in a nearby town. The local Chipotle came in just behind Cumberland Farms, which is pretty much a gas station. Having eaten at that particular Chipotle, can't say that I disagree.
Does anyone really believe Trump shot a 70 on his par 72 Bedminster course without cheating. I doubt he could shoot a 70 on a par 72 minigolf course.
Question for my Canadian friends: What do you think is the best grocery chain in #Canada (emphasis on the Maritimes)?

It's one thing to say you don't regret voting for Kavanaugh as Susan Collins did in June. Can argue that you made the best decision possible w/ the info available. But it's a whole other thing to say you'd vote for him AGAIN. That's an endorsement of his impact on the court and country. #MEpolitics
Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social · 5d agoNEW: Q: "The life issue is just, like, my voting issue...If you could clone Justice Kavanaugh, would you do it?" Susan Collins: "I would vote for him again, yes, if that's what you're asking." #MEpolitics
