Where our lunatic, zealot Senator Roger Marshall recently told us Kansans that trump always prioritizes Rural America. Isn’t that sweet. Doncha feel better?

Its shocking how distant these Washington pols have become from the people they are supposed to represent. Trump has that poisonous touch.. everything he gets his hands on dies

don't have to be reelected.

It makes me wonder what they know that I don't.

I think we all know what that means........All the Republican Politicians were mouthing off starting a month before the 2024 election, not caring what they said, as if they already knew they had the election in the bag with all their gerrymandering and voter registration corruption......as well as whatever Elon's work in computers did to help......

And the way they re trampling on their voters since the election, you must suspect that, in fact, they have all future elections corruptly rigged to automatically win, just like Putin does in Russia.

As Goebells? said during the Hitler Regime: Votes don't matter.......... what matters is WHO COUNTS THE VOTES.........

They stole elections from Two women who would have done great things for Americans. Instead, a dick-head stole two elections to do great things... for himself. He should be hung, and his body preserved and displayed for all to see for as long as America survives, as a reminder of how things can go wrong. His Crimes are Legion.

the GOPedo knows they own their magat slaves.

It is like the pols do not believe the people who are telling them to straighten up and fly right..

because he has told them all: I GO, YOU GO.................

And they seem to understand that if they follow him, they all won't need to be worried about being LEGITIMATELY re-elected ever again, if they constantly agree to kiss his ring................

This is Trump's abundance program from deporting and thinning the population. He told you so.

It just came out of nowhere in February.. I do not know what these pols talk about when they get together .. but cutting food for kids whose families have a hard time putting enough on the table is just shameful

and that Jesus will divide 5 loaves and 2 fish that will feed all if you just tell the churches it's their job.

have been voting for exactly this year after year, election after election?

There is no bait-and-switch going on. A candidate/party's policy positions/actions are a package deal. You vote for either the entire Bucket X or the entire Bucket Y.

Repug policies are what farming communities and red states have consistently voted for many consecutive elections now.

What sort of fantasyland are the "I didn't vote for THIS" crowd living in?

For those of you who live in Dumbfuckistan who lean left, but elections have consequences and you’re obviously part of the minority. I really don’t give a rat’s ass about rural hospitals closing in red states, and I truly hope their rural economies fail and the MAGA voters get just what they asked for and deserve. Too fucking bad.

is for others they hate and fear to do worse.

To them, their fellow GOPer/Rs/MAGAs who suffer from the consquences are acceptable loses, part of the battle against evil.

As you note, most of them who take direct hits themselves will suffer through it, and find a way to blame the libs, some will do the I didn't vote for this thing at first, but will quickly regravitate back into the fold as the biases and hatred that put them there in the first place kicks in.

They are lost.

But I think the swing voters, or moderates, can shift.

They have screeched about liberals for so long, in so many ways, the "middle" types have been programmed to think that there is something sketchy with the libs, too. Don't know what, but they default to "they both are the same" and then end up voting for some stupid thing the Rs are grasping at in the moment.

If it's not too crazy-mean insane for the moderates,
then all of us are truly lost.

I think Dante had his lowest level of hell for the
moderates.

Racism and sexism drive so.much.of this.

Of course, many of the farmers think that the repukes will bail them out from tariffs bankruptcy again. But this time all the money going to the rich.

They are do stupid that they don't realize that NAFTA free trade allowed them to sell pork and corn in Mexico like never before. Green energy subsidies for Ethanol allowed them to sell crap tons of corn.

But the vulture capitalists will be happy to consolidate 90 percent of the remaining small farms into mega corporate plantation with basically serfs

Their only goal is to steal as much money as possible and kill everyone after they bankrupt them. Greedy, sadistic monsters!

NO KINGS!!!!! JUNE 14TH!!!

Yet they will still vote repukelacon. I hate it for those of us in Iowa-but they will never learn.

towards what we call "Iowegians". I mean in my city if you see a car covered in yellow road dust you just look at the person next to you and nod as you're both thinking "Iowegians" as we watch them slowly drive under the speed limit.
I don't care what you might call us as long as it's not late for supper.

I’m stealing that!!!

NE Iowans don't have much use for you Prair Dusheen Sconnies either.

there were more Norwegian flags in Stoughton than American flags. This Irish Iowegian had a great time''

And don't be late to supper are words to live by

lived there until we relocated to Illinois for his work, and then, several years later to Iowa.

Never hated anyone just for what state they lived in, but that's cool, guess we're subhuman.

For them?

I hope they are having nightmares; just like their constituents.

Used to live on the western borders.. and it is red as red can get, yet a tremendous number of Democrats live there too.. I think a new wind is blowing.. it will be a tough three years but things are changing Iris and I am very hopeful

Total opposite these GOP clowns... I know him personally and i can assure you he is genuine and cares about the same things we do

Please give him what support you can, both moral and otherwise.

His name is Rob Sand. He is currently your State Auditor.

He is the only Democrat holding state office right now.. The reds flooded us, and they have been a total disaster. . Rob is looking very good. Gov Reynolds is the least popular Governor in the entire US.

So I worry about her.

to make their vote more powerful.

iowa is just fine, they are getting the pork they won in the election.

swamp flavored tacos are the best selling.

Trump went nuts... He does not know what he is doing.. He thinks government is a business.. and he is a tacky person

should have shouted at her YOU FIRST after she said you are all going to die. YOU FIRST so we can elect a new senator that cares about her/his constituents. I can’t believe how callous and deaf she is to her constituents needs. I’m one to talk though, I live in Missouri or should I say misery.

Lots of great liberals there too..

I live in KCMO metro area which is fairly liberal in some areas. Unfortunately our state legislature is so right wing it’s ridiculous.

They are:
the Democrats
the Republicans
and the Government

Republicans, Independents, and the remainder place blame for hardships on either the Democrats or the Government, depending on who's in power. Currently voters are encouraged (by complicit media) to blame the Government. When Democrats are in power, no such exit ramp exists. It is all the Democrats fault.

Living and learning in America.

And the GOP don't care because these angry people will vote GOP until the GOP buries them.

Today I met a regretful Trump voter

We were swimming in the ocean and this fellow and his wife struck up a conversation with us. A very friendly guy. He's an American citizen living in Panama and his comments were striking.

"I feel Trump lied to me."
"He never said he was going to break the U.S. government."
"When did he become a fan of tariffs?"
"Trump sold us a bill of goods."
"My portfolio is in the shitter."
"I never expected him to be so stupid."
"I wish he would die already."

I politely told him that many people were in the "Find Out" phase and Vance wouldn't be any better. He laughed then said, "Still, things are better than if THAT WOMAN had won."

Hopeless. I just shook my head.

iowans keep voting for republicans. they need to think not react when they cast their ballots. wedge issues should not be the major concern when voting. hopefully, they will learn from this experience, but since we’reallgonna die, maybe the just don’t give rat’s ass.

And they'll probably wear them to the next election, so they can vote Republican again.

Quite frankly they call all go to hell.

Has there been an ICE actions?
