Iowa isn't the only place where Trump signs and banners have disappeared. Oregon and Washington east of the Cascades were both Trump country prior to this summer if you counted the number of large and frequent signs that were prominently displayed since 2016. But a recent trip through those areas showed zero signs for Trump...not one seen in hundreds of miles. Not sure exactly how those folks feel at this time, but sure seems like the bloom is off the rose.

Not seeing them in Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax) either or thru Loudoun County down Rte 9 into West Virginia (surprisingly). Gives us hope!

Perhaps the real plan is to deliberately bankrupt the country. see below

Vance OK With Destroying The Republic In Interview

Let’s be clear about where ideologically JD Vance stands(bit.ly/4xJCx9O). Behind the scenes he carries Peter Thiel’s agenda that mirrors Curtis Yarvin’s philosophy that the federal government as we now know it needs to be burned down and start over. Yarvin’s “people need to get over their dictatorphobia” fits into Thiel’s belief that time has run out on democracy and that in essence it’s over.

It’s these 3 crackpots who want to take our government down and why they see Cheeto as the sublime messenger because he’s a demented psychopath and with his malignant narcissism fits what they need as their puppet to do their bidding. As Vance says we need to “rip out the American system like a tumor”. In other statements it’s clear that elections need to be directed so that this Neo Nazi regime can take over. RAGE(Replace All Government Employees) is Yarvin’s directive to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 supporting Russel Vought’s(head of OMB) pledge to "traumatically affect[ed]" federal employees so that they would "not want to go to work".

So with this as background (bit.ly/4xmhj17) Vance says in this recent interview that he’s ok with a biblical doomsday scenario for the country. Just part of where he and his other 2 nutjobs want to take the country. Now that’s the agenda for someone who one day wants to be president. And why with this kind of leadership any member of the fascist Republican party should never be considered on the ballot. Vote EARLY and encourage your friends, neighbors, relatives to do the same. And then be sure your vote is counted.

Thiel’s, Yarvin and Vance philosophy administered thru project 2025 is the summit of Rupert Murdoch ‘s goal to bring down every democracy in the World. We never believed it would happen in the U. S.

Here we are, under a dictatorship with a useless Senate and house with most representatives focused on sex and insider trading deals.

Unhumans is the new book Cheeto is pushing to claim that Democrats are inhuman slime that will demonize the country.

The retort is Gil Duran's The Nerd Reich which shows how accusation in a mirror is the plan(bit.ly/3V8wXzp) invoking communism which means Democrats. Let's make it a #1 NYT bestseller and put these assholes in a grave.

'Dictatorphobia' - he can't get to the bottom fast enough.

The sooner Trump gets the boot, the sooner Amercia will begin to heal.

And hopefully, recover from being suffocated.

Arkansans are hurting too. That’s why I’m voting for Hallie to kick Cotton out of his senate seat.

Angela Mastriano's avatar

Let's hope that there is a big blue win in November!!

I hate to be a spoiler, but we won't know for sure who 'won' this mid-term election until March 3--just who got the most votes in the STUPID electoral college, at best.

Then the overwhelming litigation begins in all blue/purple states under purview of the still-seated federal government (all 3 branches of which will still be controlled by white nationalists until Jan 3).

Then the Final battle on which of the new state-certified elected House candidates are actually 'seated' by the GOP-appointed Clerk of the House (who may be quickly replaced with an even greater denier that holds that post today). It could all happen in the afternoon on Jan 3, well-planned and rehearsed, BEFORE the 120th Congress is formed.

Do NOT count your chickens before they hatch (are seated). This appalling coupe ain't over until it is over, and we won't know for a few months.

We are all exhausted by this fight. Don't get too comfortable until it truly IS over, with Dems winning by such large numbers the win cannot be effectively challenged. UGH.

No Cliff, the Electoral College is for president and vp only. We won't have to wait because the Electoral College isn't involved in the 2028 election. You should know this. It's basic government.

"Betrayed"? They were conned by a consummate grifter. If MAGA had opened their eyes and shut off Fox News they would have seen the con. Now they, and the rest of the country, must pay for their ignorance.

Nancy Endersby's avatar

Anne I agree but also have to add that Trump has never hidden who he was. Like I have said way too many times he has been covered by newspapers, magazines, entertainment news, talk shows , etc since I was in Junior High. There is no way they didn’t know who he was and what he was about. Man can you tell I have zero empathy for anyone who voted for him, lol.

Sounds like OHIO. Would love to see you talk to Dr. Amy Acton who is opposing Vivek Ramaswamy. Lots of corruption and money working against a fantastic, hard working candidate. Amy is the Governor Ohio desperately needs.

Nancy Endersby's avatar

Hi Lucy , my family is all in Ohio and I grew up there. They agree with you! Actually so do my friends that live there and some are Republicans! I have been impressed with interviews I have seen . I was impressed with her during Covid as well.

This is wonderful news ❤️❣️

The reality-show slop ruined television, and Trump's stupid show was just one of those programs, and now he's just doing that junk to the world...it doesn't work.

Terry's avatar

trump acts as if the show was created for him. LOL Nothing could be further from the truth. There were so many wealthier, more successful businessmen they wanted, but chose trump because he had time, loved the camera, and knew NY. Sad it destroyed Mark Burnett's career and reputation. I never watched an episode, having already known about trump and what a cheat and scoundrel he is. Who knew he would go on to destroy the USA as we knew and loved her.

Shirley Ujest's avatar

Excellent report thank you. Please, double check your voter registration! This fascist regime is stopping at nothing to cheat on the elections and destroy the midterms.

Tom emmers district in mn is also winnable! Doug Chapin is running an amazing race against emmer. You should interview him. He's quick on his feet and a great speaker

Mary's avatar

Although I don't have the misfortune to be in emmer's district, as a Minnesotan, I totally agree he must go. Take Michelle Fischbach with him. They are both deplorable trump sycophants and a stain on MN.
