And why not? They don't even have to reveal their identity.

Are you saying another person was able to lavish gifts and praise on Trump and received something in return. I've never heard of anything like this happening before. Makes you want to slap your sister.

I'm surprised they weren't dressed like ICE.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

You can’t legislate everything. You can’t legislate against having an incompetent president or an incompetent congress. Norms are like unwritten rules. We follow those our entire lives.

They are going to invade Venezuela for their vast supply of oil and rare earth minerals. It's not about drugs. He sees the country as an easy target.

Where is the Congressional oversight?

He has had a stroke and they are covering it up.

Rick Compton @rickc52.bsky.social · 8d

What Congressional oversight? The MAGA GOP rolls over and begs their leader to give them guidance.

Rick Compton @rickc52.bsky.social · 8d

Not among the MAGA GOP.

The insanity which is Ken Paxton continues. Does he plan to have RFrankensteinJr testifying on behalf of Paxton?

He wants Mar-a-Lago North. He doesn't plan to leave.

Rick Compton @rickc52.bsky.social · 16d

Ridiculous

Be careful out there. MAGA is calling for violence.

I’m still thinking Musk had much to do with the outcome. Republicans keep crying about having paper ballots only, but that’s a bait and switch. If we voted on paper, they would always lose.

Rick Compton @rickc52.bsky.social · 21d

They are continuing the rhetoric that causes violence. This is inciteful and actually the MAGA GOP wishing for violence. Mike Johnson went down the laundry list of groups he wants at the rallies. The group he fears most are the NO KINGS protesters.

Rick Compton @rickc52.bsky.social · 21d

Gerrymandering is not the answer. Tit for tat only creates more tat. Let voters decide.

As you said, every Democrat must vote and we run on free and fair elections and against gerrymandering.

Even GOP voters will vote against the corrupt abuse of our elections. Make the point and stick to it.
