Maybe, just maybe, some Republican elected officials around the country are getting tired of being threatened by a nearly 80 year old corrupt mob boss with a 36% approval rating who is increasingly unhinged and might actually start to grow spines. One can always hope.

The chyron is correct. Diversity is a distraction from the real problems: the oligarchs and the Christofascists.

Kristi is like Trump (and many MAGAs) in that they're not existing in reality most of the time. Their fictional Fox "News" world constantly reinforces their fictional world view, and they don't know how to cope when confronted with contradictory truth and facts. That's why Kristi ran away today.

IDK anyone to ask, but do any of you know any druggies they can check with to see if they're having trouble buying drugs now? Any stats on whether drug overdose deaths are down? Is there any objective evidence to even partly back up his claims?
Trump: "If you look at the drug traffic, drug traffic by sea is down by 92% and nobody can figure out who the 8% is. And we'll start that on land too. It's gonna be starting on land pretty soon."
