Lorraine Evanoff: Exactly the right spirit, damn it.
I don't understand how the Mainers overlooked former Governor Janet Mills or how on earth Graham Platner got the endorsement of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
I don't get how we are stuck with the likes of Fetterman, Sinema and Tulsi Gabbard.
Why on earth cannot the GOP be penetrated?
The thing is, having grown up in Orange County California during the 1950s, I saw the BEGINNING of this movement.
The right-wing extremists have worked for decades. When the nightly news of the 1960s was Walter Cronkite, Chet Hutley and David Brinkley ("Good night, Chet. Good night, David"), we indeed had a non-emotional, factual narrative for our country.
Even THEN, the right-wing was active in spreading conspiracy theories and recruiting candidates.
They slowly started winning the boring elections. Superintendent of Education, yawn. County supervisor. Judge. Yawn, yawn.
Look at Mitch McConnell. His work culminated in scores of years of GOP work, from Robert Bork forward.
Remember: Nixon wanted to FIRE Archibald Cox. Resignations in Department of Justice. The remaining DOJ official availabe to fire Archibald Cox was . . . Robert Bork.
It was Robert Bork who fired Archibald Cox.
It took a lot of nakedness and exhibitionism on Ronnie Reagan's part to nominate so low a person as Robert Bork to the Supreme Court.
But over decades, we became used to it.
Like when Bush put Clarence Thomas. Who did Clarence Thomas replace? THURGOOD MARSHALL -- who had argued Brown v. Board of Education!!!
How NAKED could the GOP get??
Then the GOP used Lee Atwater for the most naked, dirty, disgusting campaigns.
There is no sewer water dirty enough to deter its use in a GOP campaign.
So, for some reason, the laws of Mother Nature make us Democrats the nice guys. The GOP get to claim their allegiance to Flag and Jesus Christ and meanwhile sink their snouts into the lowest gutter.
Yeah, I think that sums it up about right.
Meanwhile: I LOVE, just LOVE how Floorles will quietly respond when Ms Lorraine goes quietly, "Meow, meow!" Floofles quietly echoes you, and she sounds ENDEARINGLY spoiled in love.
Fantastic perspective, you just laid out how it's all connected over many decades.
It's been an ongoing secret PsyOp, catching us off guard. We gained so much ground in the 60s and 70s, I have to admit, we got complacent. That's why the Right had to work so hard and stealthily (Leonard Leo, Heritage Foundation, Shadow Network) to infiltrate our government and media so completely to make change in their favor. But we're stronger than them and they will pay for their treason.
Lorraine Evanoff: Just think though, after Mitch McConnell's hard work, how hard it will be to recover the Supreme Court.
My God, with John Roberts' quiet and wise demeanor, he turns out to be the worst of the lot, because he KNOWS better, and he invoked the "Unitary Executive" Doctrine -- reading the language of Article II Section I of the Constitution ("The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.") to ENABLE dictatorial powers of the IDIOT, who murders with impunity through ICE.
Because he KNOWS better, and has the background of a solid jurist, Chief Justice John Roberts bears the shame of the WORST OF THE BLAME for the continued ICE Murders in the name of the "Unitary Executive" -- made ALL POWERFUL by This Supreme Court.
Roberts is the worst kind of evil. Looking reasonable and wise. He's done more to destroy our democracy than anyone else. As I always say, McConnell gave him the guns and ammo, Roberts pulled the trigger. He's a criminal.
I do think we can build a Constitutional Court similar to Romania and Brazil who have survived horrible dictators. We need some more protections than SCOTUS. Something to protect our rights.
The dynamic of politics at this moment in time appears to be Republicans with actually ALL the momentum of "effective action" & the Democrats reacting as best as they can, with some success.
SOME success, and the problem is that the successes the Democrats are able to achieve are not the "show-stoppers." Those still come from trump & his MAGA Republicans.
Is this the Democrat's fault?
The reality remains. The true counterweight to trump has not yet appeared. One cannot "fault" for this. But it is absolutely correct & necessary to point this out repeatedly until, maybe, that message of how We the People are viewing "our" leaders touches the right individuals & organizations to do what they can on their ends to find, clear the way, and fully support that counterweight because without it we will continue "doing our best & hoping" but unable to actually "do."
We the People will vote in November in massive droves. Our blue votes will pour in, in vote mail pickup box locations, in in-person voting, in mail-in voting, in overseas voting, by you-name-it voting. Our votes will flood the zone.
There is no question at all the Democratic Party will swamp the Republicans in November for the House AND Senate. And it will happen because We the People are PISSED OFF.
Pissed off Americans roused themselves into action in 1774 & proved they could get rid of "Mad King" King George the Third.
Pissed off Americans are rousing themselves now in 2026 & will prove they can get rid of "Psycho-Pedo" King Don the Turd.
Yes, they forced Dems to fight "dirty" Dorian, not illegally the way they have, but with the eye of the tiger to defeat their coup d'etat. This has all revealed the weaknesses in the "honor system" that used to be our democracy. Now we have to codify everything they have tried to break. But I have been amazed how well our representatives and courts have fought back and won. But more than anything, I'm amazed how strong WE have fought back by sheer force. March 28th will be wild.
I'm right now searching for a 28th King Rally closer to where I am in Spain at the moment than Madrid or Malaga, but Madrid it will be if there is none other.
Good analogy, MJM! We need to stop letting them pull the wool over our eyes, take off their masks. The Santos election was especially embarrassing for us. On top of Sinema, Gabbard, and Fetterman. We have started to gain a sense of smell for their bullshit.

We need to counter the wolves in sheep's clothing by discarding the sheep's. clothing.

The Sinema & Gabbard connection is a surprise.
Absolutely craven women. That's why I don't agree with so many saying women need to be in control. Look at all the evil GOP women right now!!
Yeah you have a good point. The capacity for corruption and evil is not limited to one gender.
Been on the receiving end of cruelty by different types of people as it is.
You’re 100% right on 💕
Thanks Doreen! I hesitated and ended up toning down some of my thoughts on this, so I appreciate your positive feedback 💗
You’re welcome. Kiss Floofles for me 💗
😻
I'm so glad we have your level of knowledge about these undercover clowns. Thanks for clocking them!
And Floofles...aw, sweet rooftop girl watching the sunrise with her favorite human.💕💕☀️
Conway only just registered as a Democrat when he decided to run for the House as a Democrat.
He's been speaking out about DJT & Republicans since 2016 but only just now registers as a Dem?
It's almost like all that work he did for the Republican Party as a devout Republican to get us to where we are today is screaming a warning to us.
Flooflies❤️
