Shrug. Their new “BBB” monstrosity includes the same nitrogen emissions limits that caused the fall of the Sri Lankan government, and currently has Dutch farmers ready to eat their PM. Let them cheat all they want. When American farmers block food distribution points and roads and decide to let the blue cities starve, maybe they’ll reconsider their actions.

The media is now in full propaganda mode.

The media have been in full propaganda mode since Trump won the nomination in 2016. Grass-roots voters are on to them.

And Nancy can "get tough on China" all she wants. It won't change the price of gas, heating, or groceries.

The GOPes statement of support for Pelosi’s trip could easily be considered terms of surrender!

Still owned by Mortimer Zuckerman.

Maybe some of these weak Republicans will be motivated by articles like this and focus on the issues that matter to everyone. The past two days Dr. Azz has been focusing on the fact that Fetterman lived with mommy and daddy into his 40’s. Who gives a damn? It the eff’n economy stupid.

The article doesn't seem to mention any "wins."

This campaign hasn't even started yet, and it won't start until all the primaries are over.

She will be correct if we pick up 3 senate seats and not 4. The house doesn’t matter as long as we take over. It will be more conservative.

No “successes” of course for Joe, the Dems, or the country.

Per usual the biggest GOP issue is the quality and conservatism of some of their candidates.

China Mitch, OTOH, chose not to have an agenda for the midterms and is looking at staying in the minority.

Even if he gets a seat or two he'll still have Collins and Murkowski and Romney to support the other side.

“Senate Democrats forged an unexpected deal on climate change, a minimum corporate tax and expanded health care, including a provision meant to lower prescription drug prices. The measure is not yet law but would be an enormous accomplishment for the Democrats.”

This is Looney Tunes stuff. “We are great. We always win. We’re gonna win. We will always win.” Cue up Porky and Daffy.

A liberal co-worker said to me yesterday that she was upset with Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan and didn't understand the purpose of it. She questioned why Pelosi was poking the bear.

Her stunt isn't going over as well as you think.

I don’t know folks. We just had an election in our county yesterday. The Democrats mopped the floor with the Republicans.

The most critical race for District Attorney was won by a progressive Democrat who promised bail and sentencing reform, including raising the age at which someone could be tried as an adult to 25.

We already are #3 in the nation for murders, I guess the people here are “shooting” to be #1.

I’m not volunteering anymore to help these people out. They made their bed, they can lie in it. Maybe I can volunteer at the Humane Society...

Try forever. Ask Nixon and McCarthy.

I stoped reading at “series of victories for the president”
I don’t think there was ever going to be a red wave just because republicans have to defend more seats in the senate so the odds were always against them there plus too much of GOP are still never trumpers

They needed a jolt and they got it. And with the RINOS passing their agendas left and right ! McConnell and McCarthy Slit the parties throat! They got outmaneuvered outplayed by the rats at every turn. But McConnell and McCarthy did it happily! Oh by the way I have been posting this over and over again that there would be no red wave...The Republicans always have a way of cutting their own freaking throat!

Election rigging requires plausibility of the resulting theft. The press and media run by the state will report “closely contested”, and “neck and neck” races so that any steals by found absentee ballots are to be expected in such “closely contested races”.

LOL! They think massive, inflationary, deficit-spending bills will help them win in the face of the worst inflation in 40 years. Derp. Wait till the heating oil shortages and price increases kick in in the late fall. More winning for the Dems!

If anything, it should motivate you to vote in November. But nobody said it was going to be easy or a slam-dunk.
