Last year, Trump started something that, like many of his ruinous policies
is REALLY bad for our country and is backfiring for his party too.
Article
An agreement to set aside redistricting commissions is needed in order to level the playing field in this redistricting arms race.

When this happened to TX, Fox News and Shaun Hannity were cheering about the genius of Donald Trump making this decision.
Tonight, when VA fought back by doing the exact same thing, Hannity and clan were calling it ""cheating, like the Democrats always do in elections".
That's been one of the important tenets in the Donald Trump MAGA cult. "When Rs win elections, they were fair. When Ds win elections, they cheated."
When Rs STARTED the gerrymandering it was "making America Great" when Ds gerrymander in respond, it's "the radical left rigging the election maps"
Sort of like the fake climate crisis that features the exact same conditions that hurt all good life but help all bad life
Hannity was claiming tonight that the Supreme Court will throw this out because it's so wrong and unfair.

I’m proud to say that I never liked Sean Hannity.
What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!
I mean this is so obvious regarding TX/CA/NC/VA that it would be insulting to be questioned what we mean.
Thanks, Larry!
Surprise, surprise, Donald Trump claims the elections were rigged and the Ds cheated!
A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive “Mail In Ballot Drop!” Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory!" Trump said in a post to his Truth Social media account Wednesday.

This isn't extreme far right, podcaster Alex Jones or some other conspiracy theory nutcase.
This is the leader of the United States and most powerful person in the world, using offensive, democracy attacking language. Violating the American people and Constitution and making it as THE NEW NORMAL by peddling it with his intelligence insulting propaganda.
+++++++++++++
The Virginia Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments on the referendum and former state Attorney General Jason Miyares has vowed to proceed with a legal challenge.
DT saying totally made up, unsubstantiated things (aka blatant lies) like this is so insulting to the intelligence of Americans and thus really pisses me off. DT is a big bag of wind who constantly wants to be in the news, whether portrayed in a positive or negative way. His mouth runneth over. He’s by far the most divisive US President I’ve ever seen going back to when he started running in 2015, which me immediately turned me off of him. And then all I hear is the TDS bull shoot. To me that makes him downright dangerous!
I had thought Obama was quite divisive and this never voted for him. But then comes DT and he makes Obama look like a huge unifier in comparison!
Until the GOP is no longer dominated by the MAGA wing, “GOP” will largely remain the “gross old party”. Seriously, although I for most of my voting life voted for the GOP a good bit more than for Dems, I now no longer can look at a candidate running as GOP without immediately having negative thoughts!!!
Me too, Larry! I didn't like John(stay in Iraq until the job is done) McCain, while respecting his service to our country.
I liked Mitt Romney a great deal and voted for him but then, actually voted for Trump in 2016 because of who he was running against.
I did NOT vote for Donald Trump in 2020 but voted for him again in 2024, after vowing NOT to vote because both of them were so bad and my wife said: "I can't believe that you spend so much time informing yourself on politics and passing it on and you are not even using your right to vote.
So I used Donald Trump's promise to end the war fast in Ukraine(ending the Ukraine war was at the top of my list) to vote for Donald Trump.
He completely blew it in Ukraine for numerous reasons. Now the war in Ukraine is just a sideline to Donald Trump's wrecking our country and the world.

His response is always to double, triple and quadruple down on stupid, corruption and buffoonish lies.
Ironically, throwing his weight to help his far right friends in other countries (that intensely loath Donald Trump) is getting them crushed!

The most mind boggling thing about this is not that Donald Trump is a psychopath. Or that Donald Trump has a diseased brain. Or that Donald Trump has progressive dementia.
There have been many hundreds to even thousands of psychopaths in US history. Many millions of Americans have or had progressive dementia and none of them ever got better.
But almost all the psychopaths ended up in prison or suffering consequences for their behavior. And the Americans with progressive dementia parted ways from having important responsibilities as their condition made them increasingly unqualified to perform their jobs.
In Donald Trump's case, we crystal clearly have a psychopath that ALSO HAS progressive dementia that has been elevated to a figure that is adulated by his cult, MAGA and his party. The worse he gets, the bigger the denials and defending of the indefensible of everything we can see crystal clearly in front of us!
Even as the R party implodes because of this, their inability to use common sense and just remove Donald Trump to stop the damage is mind boggling!

Grateful that we have democratic elections in this wonderful country and there are less than 200 days until the November 2026 elections.
All 400+ seats in the House will be in play but just 33 of the 100 seats in the Senate Are on the line.
