Yeah, that will be a big one to watch in just a few weeks.

True. Definitely easier said than done, but I welcome anyone who is actually willing to get a metaphorical concussion from banging their head against those brick walls.

I won’t say there isn’t room for concern, especially as there are quite a few people that are starting to think that the issues between the parties are irreconcilable. And the problem is, one party seems more disingenuous than the other – at least that’s my perspective.

Oh! This is just the beginning… Just watch the first Tuesday in November, when a lot of special elections happen. ;)

But, the real stuff won’t happen until November, 2026 – which will be the mid-terms where a bunch of our Senate and Congressional seats will be up for elections…

There’s a lot in the list that @soupbrick@pawb.social posted that makes him an interesting competitor… ESPECIALLY the revolving lobbyist door, and the stock trading issue…that’s the kind of stuff that really should be dealt with.

What timeline are we living in where MTG is actually starting to talk sensibly about some of the bull-puckey that Trump is pulling?

Don’t get me wrong - she still is not a good person, in fact she is downright despicable on many levels. But crap, she’s actually talking against Trump on two issues now.

But, honestly, I doubt her sincerity on the tariffs issue. It’s most likely that she’s concerned that the businesses that have been stuffing her pockets for years won’t stuff her pockets anymore.

I cannot think of any world in which there is any kind of logic that could even remotely justify such a move.

Then again, logic hasn’t stopped Trump in either his first or second term…

At this point a shutdown might be for the best – keep them from changing a bunch of stuff in parts of the government where we aren’t looking at.

That’s one of the things that really has me nervous – we’re seeing so much crap that they are doing publicly that I am really concerned about the stuff we aren’t seeing.
