You need to lay off the drugs or your TDS (Trump DEPENDENCY Syndrome) will never heal.

It's Trump and the Republicans who are running around in circles.

You can't see straight anymore, can you?

Sunk cost man...they don't want to admit what their eyes see.

Trump is a pushover and simply wants to be around winners and the “cool kids” whoever they are. Once your usefulness to him is gone he’s done with you.  A Midwest farmer, member of congress, wife…. All disposable. 

This. He’s always been an attention whore. Plus his take on political policies was never based on any sort of principle or values learned from experience with the public’s lives. All just an opportunity to grift and bask in the limelight.

I have never done drugs. I recently got into cross-fit training and went to a zero sugar diet. I was able to get off my 10 mg BP med. life is great at age 48!

But you still have a dependency problem.

TDS or Trump Dependency Syndrome tells me you still have something...

Out of equilibrium.

 

The first step is admitting you have a problem. That's always the hardest step (the first one).

You should go see a psychiatrist. 

IMO.

Negative. I am actually at a retreat this weekend with a group of combat vets leading a mental self care group. I am a certified crisis manager through the VA. You have to actually be a former combat vet to qualify for this program. Changing mental concepts through shared experiences I am sure you would not understand.

MTG who never considers the next 3 steps, knew this was coming.  As do all the GOP house and senate members.  And your drunken, racist uncle at Thanksgiving knows too.  

Manifest it.

they won't come close to 60 seats, but it would be nice if they at least retake the majority.

with 60...they could redo Citizens United.   If the robber barons continue to plunder and rape the treasury, it can happen.

Would need 67 to override a veto.

Lets do that then

[Motown Bombers]

They are talking about gaining 60 seats in the house. That would be a huge pickup. No party will likely ever get 67 in the senate.

People need to pump the brakes on their enthusiasm for next year. Do I think Democrats take the House back? Yes. Do I think they will have a 10-15 seat majority? Possibly. Do I think they are going to blow out Republicans and gain 50-60 seats on a single cycle? No. The country is simply too polarized for those types of wild swings we used to see in House elections of years gone by. 

Furthermore, Democrats aren't winning the Senate. I love Sherrod Brown. I wish Democrats ran more populist progressives like Brown across the country. But I feel Ohio is too far down the Republican rabbit hole now to win and they aren't winning it back with Sherrod Brown. I also don't think they're winning Alaska, Iowa, or Maine in the Senate. Everyone predicted Susan Collins was cooked on 2020 against Sara Gideon. Not only did she win, not only did she overperform polling expectations, she blew Sara Gideon out by over 8 points. I tend to think Collins holds on again. Mainers like her labotomized way of thinking and speaking it appears and whatever folksy charm she has to offer. Without Maine, it will be impossible to take the Senate in 2026 and very hard in 2028.

**** pumping the breaks.  The GOP shattered all the norms.  They need to be shattered so that they return to some semblance of respect for norms.

Or we could let Trump nationalize the banks and airlines and run them on the same basis as ICE has been run.

What I’ve learned from this is that the notion of hundreds of Russian nationals at the Internet Research Agency toiling away on fake X accounts in St. Petersburg is almost certainly not accurate, since second world labor demands relatively high second world wages. Instead, the grunt work of creating and maintaining troll social media accounts surely gets farmed out to third world countries for third world wages.

So most MAGA accounts, like the ones Naziholic likes, originated outside the US. It's a pretty easy formula.

She is a legit snack.

Also, can I just tell you how pretty girls in baseball caps just rev me up? Yeah, I know it's a Yankees cap, but she's from there, so of course I'll allow it ...
