So, wildfire season has started in Washington. I had been enjoying the weather, but of course there’s a downside. Get ready for smokey days.

    Please enjoy this AP summary that suggests the Democrat redistricting own-goal could cost the Democrat party as many as 8 House seats.

    The last rational Democrat.

    John Fetterman: I haven’t changed. Here’s what has.
    Working across the aisle is the only way forward.

    Small wonder the GOP would love him to flip.

    I wonder if this scares Hakeem Jeffries as much as that 2019 Virginia legislative seat flip scared Cocaine Mitch.

    Virginia Democrats have done more to deliver seats for Republican voters than Indiana Republicans have.

    Hard to overstate how much Virginia’s insanity, led by Democrat Louise Lucas, pushed multiple red states to redistrict. The Callais decision from SCOTUS was obviously important, but by itself it wouldn’t have led to TN or AL redistricting. The insanely corrupt Democrat overreach

    So the Ag Secretary is super smart.

    Going on the Fox to argue for making poor people’s lives harder,

    Before, if you had jerky hanging there, that counted for a protein. But no more. So we’re moving the people off of SNAP that shouldn’t be on. No more soda. No more junk food.”

    We’ll start with meat is protein. Granted, per oz chicken, pork, and tuna deliver more but beef comes in at #4 in protein packed food choices. Jerky is a big deal in the KETO diet set so much that MAHA freaks will regularly tell you which new viral marketing brands have the lowest sugar and highest macros.

    And who might need a shelf stable, transportable protein source. Maybe people without stable housing? Someone lacking refrigeration?

    But to MENSA Rollins here those people should be grabbing some raw pork (“Can you believe these food stamp people can buy steak”) and find a way to cook it and eat it all before it gets toxic. What’s a daily trip to the store if you’re poor?

    Following the Democrat trend line out a little more than two years, Karen Bass will be the 2028 DNC presidential nominee.

    I think there should be a rule that voting not be a secret, and that once you cast your ballot that it should be made public knowledge.

    And then afterwards, when the party/person elected, that you voted for, does something you don’t like or you disagree with then you have no recourse but to be told, “too bad, next time know who and what you are voting for, and whatever it is you are asking for as recourse then that is too bad… denied”

    Depends how you define “cost”. You might end up living in a world that leaves you with a dictatorship and Fascist society that effects you as well, and maybe the cost will effect you too. And if it effects you in an ill will then we will clap.

    Like you bought solar for a reason. I assume maybe it had something to do with keeping the planet livable and healthy. No? Was it for fun, like planting a tree? Well, good luck with keeping the planet healthy.

    Think $10.00/gal gas. I’m all for it! Droughts! I’m all for that too.

    the goal of the above quoted spew is nothing more than trying to rub your nose in “losing”, and has no thought process to what was said.

    When the day comes where the clowns have to make decisions on whether to save themselves or a Dumbfuck Doctor, well my bet is that the Dumbfuck Doctor will be in peril.

    It would be great if he did flip. He brings stench to the Democratic party. Never liked the slob – you didn’t either, but only at first I guess. You are an it without any convictions or morals.

    Goes to show you how the uneducated fall for losers.
