I would like to say that the online MAGA people are NOT in fact the persuadables. They aren't going to be brought *onboard.* That will happen or not in actual community with people. Sorry.

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Folks really should read up on Jordan Wood. Mills isn’t the only other Dem running.
Cons:
- No prior elected office (same as Platner)
Pros:
+ Congressional staffing experience
+ Under 70 years old (36, fwiw)
+ Not a former mercenary
+ No Nazi tattoos

They're STILL protecting the sexual predators who raped young girls procured by Epstein and Maxwell.
And there's strong evidence to suggest one of those predators is currently the President of the United States.

These pundits show the same lack of humility and inability to own their mistakes that they complain about in politicians. Is it really too hard to say, “Pod Got Hoodwinked?”
And honestly, their listeners would understand. These guys are pundits, not reporters. They got snookered. Just own it.

This guy is a progressive running for the Senate in Maine. He has a tattoo, too. But it's an Obama one, not a Nazi one.
I've been getting a lot of questions about tattoos, so time to fess up — I have one.
I got this tattoo a few years ago as a reminder of what hope and a positive vision can do in our politics. And yes, I knew what it was when I got it.
