Do you think that the right has started to get a clue yet?? that the Democrats mean business..

and are getting the job done ..


Since there has not been a complete breakdown rush for the border by immigrants coming in.....

Since the Russians have tanked and even the Wagner group is selling them out to Ukraine......

Since the job markets have held steady and healthy....

Since inflation is beginning to drop.....


Give that old man in the White House credit.. He had the experience to pull us back from the brink the right almost pushed us over

problems. When trickle down bullshit, and GOP running up deficits then demanding Democratic Administration's cut programs, was not the norm. Real Government instead of being tripped up by GOP scams.

They stay in their bubble of right-wing propaganda whether its from Fox News, Newmax , OAN or the like.

If everybody had the same facts, democrats would win in a landslide. Unfortunately, the hardcore MAGA voters are so indoctrinated that they will automatically discount anything not endorsed by their god Trump as fake news.

Anybody still willing to vote for Trump after all that has happened is either vile or horribly misinformed, stuck in their own bubbles. Neither possibility is good.

Given that the loud MAGA minority completely controls their party via bullying all the others, I do not believe there will be a course correction by the GOP.

7. But almost half of the voters in 2020 voted for TFG.

We won by a very small margin in a few key swing states that amounted to 70,000 votes difference. It was similar in 2016 when TFG won. He won with a small margin too.

But anyhow, their voters aren't "small". TFG could still very well win in 2024 (or any republican candidate for that matter). It all comes down to the swing voters in a few key swing states that doesn't really represent the bigger picture.

My friend was giddy when Comer said he had the goods. He was giddy when Durham was going to bare the Russian hoax.

Comer can’t find his star witness.

I don’t think elected conservatives have a clue. They remain head over heels in love with the stupid people who vote for them to be concerned with facts and logic. That’s the purview of woke people. And people who vote for republicans proudly, and without hesitation proclaim they are not woke.

Suggests in a passive tone, instead of hey dumbass conservative you lost him. Actually you lost something you didn’t have. Wow, isn’t that the basis for the awesome 70s song “What a Fool Believes?” Song of the year Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. With songs like that I’m fine showing my age.

And conservatives are fine showing their chicanery. They don’t know what the word means, but by gawd they are proud.

Choo Choo Peacetrain!!

Sincere apologies for any ear worms.

12. "jail, court, or missing": Comer won't say could be they are lying ne'er-do-wells thus legal trouble

He explained to Bartiromo that “nine of the ten people that we’ve identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens—they’re one of three things, Maria. They’re either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing.”

Comer implied hazily that witnesses were being intimidated by an unnamed force within the White House,
