BTW, the picture of Melania reminds me of Natasha from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle series...

Actually...

She looks like to me that she is channeling Jim Carrey in The Mask.

Melania Mask?

Madame Mask?

Nice going, Putin, JD Vance and everyone else involved

Wisconsin was a bludgeoning of Republicans because of Trump. I can’t understand why they continue to go down with him. 

Keep in mind Wisconsin is heavily gerrymandered.

I'm part Hungarian-American, so I've taken a fairly big interest in this race. My Nana was a Nagy and 100% Hungarian with some of her siblings born over there in Budapest. I hope Peter Magyar and Tisza destroys Orban and his Fidez fascists. More than that, I hope Magyar is truly a good person and lives up to the promise of a better, freer Hungary and reverses the backslide of democracy in the country.

The latter wish is eternal.  God, stop testing us and stop sending us the worst people to be leaders.

Nobody had to pay a ransom to Iran before the war. So tired of ALL this...winning?

Trump’s definitely winning, since he’s almost certainly getting a cut of the proceeds from Strait of Hormuz tolls funneled directly to his offshore accounts in exchange for not bombing the **** out of Iran.

Its sad that I've been seeing the left start resorting to lies and misinformation. 

Genuinely interested in examples? Would like to understand what you’re seeing.

Yeah, I just read that. Thank god...there's no way, absolutely no way  he'll get that passed.

 

 

According to this meme, the US can pull out of NATO with a two-thirds vote by the Senate OR an “act of Congress”. What exactly do they mean by “act of Congress”? How is that different from the two-thirds Senate vote which, apparently, require no action by the House? Why is it an either-or and not a two-thirds vote by both? Genuinely confused by this.

Yeah, the Ceausescu's found out how fast things can change when the public is fed up.

All kinda of lies. I have been blocking most of the bigger accounts that post "misinformation" for several weeks now. Everything from fake Executive Orders to lies about Trump giving fake orders to his administration. Obvious lies just to rile people up. Like...do we really need more reasons to dislike the guy?

it is frustrating. 

however, I would suggest that we are in a post-truth world. if facts were important to voters, we would not have a lunatic  charlatan as POTUS.

MAGA has loudly declared facts to be irrelevant. and "independents" - if there really are such people - seem to not care that much either. I am not sure the Dems should burden themselves with facts and logic if that is not what people want.

I was calling out the obvious lies for a while but just gave up and just block the nonsense. Looking at my timeline, it's mostly music, sports and cats...lol. I like it better this way.

I'm not aware of the left resorting to lies and misinformation that have nearly the same influence and impact on as many people in their orbit as the lies and information flowing non-stop out of the very influential and impactful far right have on theirs. I'll even go as far as to say I don't think it's even happening. That's why I asked.

Independents are 35% of the American electorate.

THEY are the ones who sway elections to the left or the right.

And THEY are the ones who are leaving Trump in huge droves. 

"Republicans" (or should I just call them the MAGA Party now?) are locked into Trump, for better or worse.

Dems will vote for their Dem candidate, for better or worse.

It is Independents that can go either way. In 2020 they went Biden. In 2024 they went Trump. In 2026, we are now seeing them leave Trump in massive droves and creating a Blue Tidal Wave.

Would you be interested in getting to know an Independent? One? I know of one specifically. (But NOT one who would EVER vote for a lying fascist scumbag like Trump... and never did...).

IMO.

(or... Just my 2 cents.)

Given that democracy absolutely depends on facts and logic, I wouldn't agree that "Democrats should be just as hostile to the concept of democracy as Republicans are" is the answer.

The far left certainly engages in misinformation and unfortunately it’s aimed at Democrats and not Republicans.

This has been going on for years and it does not help our cause.
