I don't think the trumpers understand how hard this is going to hit rural areas. In fact, I would say they lose the most things from trump in the long run

Medicaid cuts could close rural hospitals, nursing homes in Colorado https://www.denverpost.com/2025/03/16/medicaid-cuts-colorado-hospitals-nursing-homes-disabilities-children/

what a turd
Representative Zinke from Montana was on the idiot box very recently. The main gist was his support of Elmo, DOGE, and the cuts.
The point he wanted to sell was that Congress was powerless to dig through the bowels of the bureaucracy in order to fix things. Talk about an abdication not only of his responsibility, but of their own agency. What the actual F, dude?
What is the point of you being in office then? To wear that cowboy hat on TV, and complain about the front line of the bureaucracy.
No, wait, it was to talk about corruption because your orange hero is butt hurt?

new favorite Trump lie
My new favorite lie by the former chief.....
The former president, whenever he comes to Michigan, likes to bring up the time, years ago, when he was honored as Michigan Man of the Year. Only, it never happened as far as anyone knows. He was honored a few years before he ran for president by the Oakland County Republican Party, but it brought no "Man of the Year" award with it."
My new favorite lie until he opens his mouth again.

Republican Jesus did not save Trump
Asserting that a supernatural God intervened to save a 78-year-old presidential candidate at a rally leaves us to wonder where that same God was when children were wailing as they were hunted down in classroom after classroom during the last two decades of mass shooting events.

disfunction Grows
https://npr.org/2024/05/01/1248433401/marjorie-taylor-greene-motion-to-vacate-house-speaker-mike-johnson
MTG is once again highlighting the extreme dysfunction in our legislative branch right now. It will be interesting to see if the Democrats actually come to the rescue of the speaker, or do they let him twist in the wind like last time.
We really need to amend our voting system in this country. The electoral college has got to go in my opinion. We need to replace it with ranked choice voting, and we need to get rid of all of the money infecting our political system right now.

Creating Conspiracy Cells
This will create small highly effective cells of people who will willingly suck up this information. It gives them an explanation and reason why it is happening. Notice in the NPR article how they mention the audience is white.

No, Not really
“They understand freedom as being left alone to make their own choices, and they resent being told what to do,” William Galston has written in The Wall Street Journal.
no, not really.
They are just selfish people who think that their rights, health, and privileges are more important that anyone else around them. They are told countless times what to do, and think by Trump and his acolytes.
and then there is this....
"In an article this month for Breitbart, the right-wing website formerly run by Steve Bannon, John Nolte argued that the partisan gap in vaccination rates was part of a liberal plot. Liberals like Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Anthony Fauci and Howard Stern have tried so hard to persuade people to get vaccinated, because they know that Republican voters will do the opposite of whatever they say, Nolte wrote."
I mean this is just idiotic. Basically the author is saying, it is your fault that I'm stupid. FFS.

Lincoln Rolling in his Grave
The part that he has once lead, not leads in voter suppresion. Lincoln must be rolling in his grave.
If a party is working this hard to suppress your vote, they probably don't ahve any interest in actually governing towards your benefit. Just a thought.
From one of the news sources that turnip calls fake. Only because that he does not like the negative things reported about him. Truly a snowflake if ever there was one.
Pennsylvania: The state’s highest court has ruled that election officials should count mailed ballots that arrive up to three days after Election Day. Pennsylvania Republicans are trying to get the Supreme Court to reverse the order, so that only ballots received by Election Day will count.
North Carolina: Republicans and the Trump campaign have asked the Supreme Court to block the state’s board of elections from extending the deadline to receive mail ballots. The board has said ballots can arrive until Nov. 12, as long as they were mailed by Election Day.
Wisconsin: The five Republican-appointed justices on the Supreme Court sided on Monday with Republican officials in Wisconsin, ruling that ballots must arrive by 8 p.m. on Election Day to count. (A lower-court ruling would have allowed state officials to count any mailed ballots postmarked by Election Day and received up to six days later.) In response, the state’s Democratic Party is urging voters to return mail ballots in person — to a drop box or clerk’s office — rather than mailing them.
Nevada: The Trump campaign has sued to stop the counting of absentee ballots in the Las Vegas area, evidently hoping to challenge the signatures on many ballots. Last night, the campaign and Nevada Republican Party filed a separate lawsuit, seeking detailed information on the vote-counting process.
Texas: The state’s top court yesterday upheld a policy announced by Greg Abbott, the Republican governor, which limits each county to a single drop-off box for mailed ballots. The state’s largest county — Harris, which includes Houston — is home to 4.7 million people.
Michigan: A conservative judge yesterday overturned an order by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, and ruled that people could carry unconcealed guns at polling places on Election Day.
In many of these cases, Republicans have argued that changing voting rules because of the pandemic could lead to fraud (a claim that’s largely baseless) and that allowing ballots to be counted after Election Day leads to confusion and chaos.
Democrats have argued that protecting people’s right to vote, during a national crisis, should be top priority. Democrats have also pointed out that some Republicans have changed their position on the counting of mailed ballots: When late-arriving ballots seemed likely to help George W. Bush in Florida in 2000, Republicans argued that the state should count them.

save the mail
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/17/opinion/trump-us-mail.html
As the mail-in voting crisis has erupted, some of the usual suspects on the right have taken to denouncing the Postal Service as a bad, money-losing business. But the founders didn’t put the postal clause in the Constitution because they saw it as a business opportunity; the Postal Service was supposed to serve broader national goals — and it still does.

I Like the Titanic Reference
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/09/opinion/trump-coronavirus.html
A normal president and a normal political party would be horrified by this turn of events. They would realize that they made a bad call and that it was time for a major course correction; they would start taking warnings from health experts seriously.

Populism Round 2.0
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/12/pandemic-will-fuel-populism-that-sent-trump-white-house/
The brunt of the damage is not being borne by the elites who work in the information economy but by those at the middle and the bottom of the economic ladder — the forgotten Americans who were finally doing better under President Trump until this crisis arrived. Before the pandemic, the U.S. economy had added a half-million manufacturing jobs and low-wage workers.......

This guy is unreal
"""
Donald J. Trump on Monday blamed his sinking poll numbers on people paying attention when he talks.

Seriously?

he said, “There are a lot of people out there who are listening to things I say and basing their opinions on them, and I think it’s very sad.”
