See how Rs destroyed Tom Dashel. They went to south dakota for a year. Even in a safe district there are moderates and independents who are persuadable 🙏🙏
I’ve been agnostic about Hakeem Jeffries being speaker, but why didn’t he have some control over his members? Apparently the timing of the vote was easily figured out? I don’t understand planning a social event while Congress was in session? To be outsmarted by Mike Johnson&Jim Jordan? How humiliating.
Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco collecting an award?
I always wonder if her hand was still influencing the direction?
If Nancy Pelosi really cared about veterans and those currently serving, she would have had her butt in DC voting against the worst most unqualified Secretary of Defense in the history of the US. Also, all 11 of those democrats take AIPAC money. And Israel has no desire to stop trump's war.
I agree. Collecting an award was more important than this vote?
Ms Pelosi is still employed by the American people until Jan 3.
I’ve had people defending Chuck Grassley because he represents Iowa&Iowa should choose, but the U.S. Congress is paid federally. So I from Ohio have every right to say when someone is not meeting the job description.
Gym Jordan being House Minority Leader is actually the best thing to happen to Democrats(besides our mega blue tsunami, of course). He’s morally repulsive and hated by many Republicans, and would guarantee that the MAGA GOP would keep pointing fingers at each other rather than obstructing us liberals and Democrats.
I share your opinion of Gym (Barking Dog) Jordan. He is possibly the worst person in Congress, nothing but a disruptor. And he announced that he would be a disruptor every day for the next two years. He is not there to govern, he's there to spout the bile from his ego. His presence in elected office is another proof that Republicans serve no good purpose. I hope Ohio will rid us of this scourge as soon as possible.
Gym Jordan becoming House Minority Leader is actually the best thing that could happen to us liberals and Democrats. Now, the MAGA-influenced House GOP can continue pointing fingers at each other rather than being a formidable opposition to the Democratic Congress. I was rooting for him to become the House GOP leader, just so the caucus can continue being in disarray, for our entertainment.
Charles Koch created this abominable situation In the Republican Party. Men like Jordan and Cruz have been corrupted by Koch to be his puppet whores. If you have been watching what Koch’s been doing the many years that I have watched, you know that he funded Leonard Leo in the Fed Society to get McConnell to create and pass Citizens United. Charles Koch was a central founder of the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation and all the groups that created Project 2025. Nobody ever mentions his name. Charles Koch should be in prison for the dastardly subversive racist fascist deeds he’s done. He’s the puppeteer pimp who wrote the script to infiltrate southern evangelical churches to corrupt them with money. An aside: Koch’s racist daddy built Hitler’s oil refineries. Also Stalin’s. That’s how he made his money.
Ohio seems to have a disproportionate share of thugs in the Trump regime. Fortunately, the disgusting Vivak Rampantlyswampy has been cast to the sidelines by voters as unfit to serve as Governor.
But the sofa-copulating liar JD Vance remains in the Trump orbit, largely as a spent force. He has way too much baggage to drag into a 2028 presidential campaign and has probably lost the trust of his owners- oops, funders.
Keep it up, Mike. And repeat, repeat, repeat. Long ago Republicans learned that the way to plant one's message in people's minds is repetition, constant repetition, just as commercial advertisers do. The GOP keeps repeating that Democrats are Communists. You must keep repeating your message that the Republicans' leaders are greedy, I corrupt, selfish oligarchs who use government control to benefit only themselves. The government will not meet the basic needs of the rest of us unless and until that oligarchic control is destroyed forever.
As usual, Mike, you'e nailed it. I'm beginning to think we should come after the ones who already have pardons knowing they will partly get away with it, but not the Civil Courts, those that are not Federal, but first find out what they know. And we will find out what they've done with impunity. Once that happens those lower on the totem pole will begin to scatter ,I would wager. Look what it cost Loomer to have Trump endorse her. Steve Miller and Jim Jorden should be up there on the list after Hegseth in my opinion. Now that ordinary citizens are looking at politics, they've started to learn about how the political system works, now show us all how our new Senators and Representatives work for them and For US....and for themselves, now that we're at it.
I queried Google about self destructive tendencies of narcissists. Here is some of what I got:
AI Overview
Yes, individuals with narcissistic traits or Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) frequently engage in self-destructive, self-defeating behaviors. However, whether this leads to a total "downfall" varies widely depending on the person, their subtype, and their life circumstances.
Why Narcissists Self-Destruct
• Lack of Future Thinking: Narcissists tend to focus heavily on immediate gratification, status, or short-term cravings rather than long-term consequences.
• Inability to Self-Reflect: They routinely blame others, rationalize their mistakes, and reject constructive feedback, which traps them in repetitive cycles of failure.
• Cognitive Dissonance and Grandiosity: A deep gap between their inflated self-image and underlying feelings of insecurity or inferiority drives them to overplay their hand, lie, or act aggressively when challenged.
• The "Narcissistic Injury": When criticized, exposed, or rejected, their brain's emotional fight-or-flight response can hijack rational thought, sometimes leading them to burn down relationships or situations just to "win" or retaliate.
• Erosion of Trust: Over time, chronic manipulation, broken boundaries, and deceit alienate friends, family, and colleagues, leaving them isolated on an "island of self-importance".
Do They Always Pay the Price?
Opinions and realities differ on whether every narcissist publicly or completely implodes:
• Mixed Views on Accountability: While many observers and psychologists note that a narcissist's lifestyle guarantees relational or personal friction, forum discussions on platforms like Facebook highlight that some narcissists appear to evade major consequences and function smoothly for a long time without ever facing a dramatic reckoning.
Two loudmouths need to go. Jordan and Cruz.
C’mon Ohio 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️😵💫
Jordan is gerrymandered into a safe seat.
See how Rs destroyed Tom Dashel. They went to south dakota for a year. Even in a safe district there are moderates and independents who are persuadable 🙏🙏
So was boebert
Yup. Seats are winnable with the right strategy. The democratic committee in Ohio needs to wake up and get to work
Propaganda, Truth, and Power
Hannah Arendt & George Orwell: Arendt highlighted authoritarianism's "extreme contempt for facts", echoed by Orwell’s observation that "in a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act".

Doctrine of Fascism, Mussolini framed it as "a religious concept" and stated that "men are tired of liberty".

So sorry this happened to you, Mike. That's just shitty and despicable.

Hakeem Jeffries needs to be investigated for pay to play activities with Kushner, Thiel, and other fascist billionaires.
He’s GOT to GO.
I don’t think this helped the argument for Jeffries to stay as incoming Speaker.
Congress doesn’t change as fast as the American people. I won’t be surprised if Chuck Schumer is Senate Leader&Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker
Look at who finances Jeffries to find out where his loyalties are directed....
Jim Jordan is a criminal and sex abuser as well. I hope he gets investigated!

That’s what happens when the MAGA GOP does “korporate Kochaine”, as I call it.
Yes the fight continues. thanks Mike for helping us all!
They are all corrupt as hell. They all need to be impeached and convicted. Gym Jordan covered up for a sex pest.
DEFINITELY 🇨🇱🌀🌊
Cruz and Jordan I absolutely agree 👍🏼
The fight continues. It's exhausting, and we sure hope - expect- that the elected Reps and Senators push, push back, refuse to compromise.
