I do not see next Tuesday going well for Trump, at all.

I hope and pray Scott that that will be the case. And by the way, thanks for turning the orange taco into a pumpkin head! It’s more appropriate because pumpkins only have mush inside, just like he does.

Karen, I so agree. GOP sycophant Senators are worried about the 2026 midterms losing to Dems which is why I can’t understand why more of them didn’t add their names. If none of the GOP house members don’t vote with Dems the American people will vote them out! The idiot MJ will go down in history as DJT’s VENTRILOQUIST with noise!!!

Shocking to hear the Senate would vote like this…and good to hear. Mike Johnsons “reputation” is forever tarnished by his blind loyalty to the felon…Mike must have done some stuff he doesnt want people to know about! And Bovino… what a scary little twerp. Have you guys heard Mallory McMorrows speech about the SNAP benefits? She is FIRE!!!!!

Mike Johnson needs to hear from all of us! But perhaps especially from soy bean farmers and the beef cattle ranchers! You guys know how to brand cattle. Time to Brand Mike Johnson as Un-American!!!

And the Black American voter in his state. They need to speak up LOUD!

I pray for their courage to do so. As an old white woman, I can only imagine how frightening this time is for blacks and all people of color. We must show our kindness to everyone whenever we can, and let them know they are not alone. Offering a ride and to go with people when they vote, could be a blessing to some.

Mike 100% supports the attempt to turn this country into a Christofascist nation. The Evangelicals in Washington have been working toward this goal for years. There’s no way he’s going to back down when they’re this close. Welcome to Gilead.

Ann, I often wonder if Johnson justifies his lies and distortions as a means to an end – to mold our nation into a type of Gilead.

Thanks for the pumpkins. Can we move to turkeys and then snowmen? I love not having to look at his face.

Turkeys, OK. Snowmen, NO! For December, use images of The Grinch.

Personally, I use the devil emoji in place of his name or face. Occasionally, I use the skull and crossbones, aka 'bar sinister'. I happen to like pumpkins 🎃 and ❄️.

I would love to see landslides in the elections…however when I reflect on crowd sizes for K. Harris vs Trump, and yet he still wins…makes me wonder. 🤷🏻‍♀️

He absolutely did NOT win fairly. He absolutely cheated! Check out Election Truth Alliance’s findings as well as SMART elections. Or, “This Will Hold” Substack. Ofc he cheated! When has he ever done anything fairly? He even cheats on his own golf course. LOSER.

Trump even admitted in a PA post-election rally (on video) that they were losing in PA and brought in Elon because "he's good with the computers, and then we won"

We knew something was wrong when he told people months before the election that he already had enough votes. One more of his "oops" comments, when he periodically tells the truth because his cognitive abilities were slipping and are now plummeting.

Great news, Scott. Also this about Bovino - or as I like to call him - Bovine 🐄:

"Kids dressed in Halloween costumes walking to a parade do not pose an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer," US district judge Sara Ellis told Bovino. "They just don't. And you can't use riot control weapons against them."

It’s wild watching the same patterns repeat, only now the accountability is starting to bite. From Portland to Seoul, the pushback feels global. Power always overreaches before it cracks. The question isn’t whether the tide will turn, it’s how many will pretend they didn’t see it coming.

I agree VMB! The tide will turn. To me it seems like Trump and his sycophants got so excited by their power that they were stupid (no surprise) and "overkilled" with that power and therefore thinking they could brutalize us forever, just pissed us all off. They did damage, they harmed many, that must end, but the tide will turn, I agree. They have awakened many other Countries to their stupidity, nonsense, clear hated and cruelty. The world said, Hell No! Especially in the US. We got rid of one king, we just had to remember that and what we want and what we are about in this Country. We are. "Turn, turn, turn, the song says.
