A coincidence that Mills joins the race and suddenly these Platner quotes show up ?

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 4d

These data centers are flooding into WI because of access to Lake Michigan. Port Washington approved one that's 1700 ACRES ! The community is fighting back. One just got rejected south of Milwaukee.

Dems could eliminate all 9 GOP seats in CA. 5 or 6 in NY. 2 or 3 in IL. 1 in WA and OR. If they take back the state Legislature in WI they could eliminate 2 more. They could offset the repeal of the VRA. Of course, they won't.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 5d

Reform the court ? Hell, Dems won't even criticize it.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 5d

Once the fascists on SCOTUS gut the VRA the GOP can gerrymander up to 19 seats. This is why Repubs don't care about polls regarding the shutdown, ACA hikes, Medicaid, etc. They'll have a permanent majority in Congress. Dems could offset most of it but this would require them getting off their asses

Guess the MSM missed this ? In fairness they were too busy writing articles on how the Insurrection Act is needed.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 10d

If Democrats actually ran on these things, they would've won the Presidency, had 312 House Members and 59 senators right now.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

The Dem base has been screaming to D.C. Dems for years to stand up to GOP fascists and they've ignored us completely. Now that it might effect THEM, they're all concerned. Notice the one person the GOP never, ever targets ? Merrick Garland. Gee, I wonder why.

Wow, I'll bet the viewership for this Hillary/Pompeo/Blinken talk soars well into the teens.

Hordes of Godless tranny commies coming to Ass Boil, AL to socialize their dental insurance.

Sometimes the meaning gets lost in tweets, just like texts.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

Gee, it's a complete mystery how Harris lost the election listening to Democratic consultants. Yes, indeed, Republicans are setting an electoral trap for Dems to fall into by destroying democracy. "Don't fall for it Hakeem !"

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

It's called sarcasm.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

For the love of God, if you help with Sherrill's campaign......tell them to crank it up past the snore level that these DNC clown consultants have it at. Making toast is more exciting than that snoozefest.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

These are adults ? Sit and listen to this nut and nod their heads.

Making America great again by turning my farm ownership into sharecropping.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

China is buying soybeans from Brazil now. No way they're coming back to American farmers while trump is in office. But hey, it's a small price to pay so some trans kid can't play on a volleyball team halfway across the country.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

"I'm going to ruin your soybean business and deport your farm labor and then throw you a few crumbs when it's too late !" "That's my guy !"

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

We were blessed in WI to have Ben Wikler be instrumental in state SC judges races. They ran ads lambasting GOP judges as MAGA loons and Dem judges won here statewide by over 200K votes. Of course, the DNC will make sure not to make that mistake again now that Ben has moved on.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

Expand to 13 justices to cover all the jurisdictions. Then each district sends a new judge {chosen by lottery} each year to serve one year terms on SCOTUS. Those that served are removed from next years lottery so an entirely new SCOTUS comes in the next year and so on.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 11d

I mean, what are the odds that all these "liberal" courts end up with two out of three trump judges every single time before it gets to the full court. The odds of this happening every time must be in the billions.

In fairness to him, they will close the airport for Santa's sleigh ride at Christmas.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 12d

This pro fascist propaganda of an article never gives an opposing view to these fascists. Not one quote from the Mayors of Chicago, Portland, etc. Nothing from their Governors. Paragraph after paragraph of rightwing bullshit delivered as though invoking this Act actually has some legitimacy.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 12d

TX NG just invaded IL but Pritzker's response is to have your phone handy. Make sure to film all the criminality so Pritzker's Attorney General can ignore it. His strategy of doing absolutely nothing is going great.

MikeKN @mikenp40.bsky.social · 12d

Pritzker isn't w/o recourse here. Enforce state law, divest state funds from TX that sent NG troops, organize a Governor's task force of volunteers of veterans/retired law enforcement to observe activities etc. His approach of doing absolutely nothing but giving speeches doesn't seem to be working.
