Well It’s certainly been an interesting week so far.

No kidding! You saw about MTG resigning?
AdLiban hour ago
Nov 21 will go down as Cray-Cray Day.
AdLiban hour ago
The release of the Epstein files and MTG resining I saw the headline didn’t read the article will have to go back to that.
twilson117
an hour ago
Yes it is indeed crazy.
twilson117
an hour ago
And of course, Trump falling in love with Mamdani.
AdLiban hour ago
So with Greene resigning that makes it hard for Magic Mike doesn’t it?
twilson117
an hour ago
And killing Stefanik’s bid for Gov and throwing a wrench in the main Repub plan for 2026, framing Mamdani as an extremist socialist who represents the Dem Party.
AdLiban hour ago
From what I was seeing, it would shrink the Repub majority, along with other resignations and open seats, to 218-216 in Jan. Just need 2 more Repubs to see the futility of running again.
AdLiban hour ago
I don’t think Stefanik really had chance against Hochul do you?
twilson117
an hour ago
No, Stefanik was doomed after going full MAGA but now she is so damaged, her political career is over. Couldn’t happen to a nastier opportunist.
AdLiban hour ago
Wait if Greene resign the Gov gets to pick a replacement right?
twilson117
an hour ago
I don’t know, in some states the seat stays empty until there is an election to fill it. Don’tknow GA law on that.
AdLiban hour ago
You’re right I forgot about that.
twilson117
an hour ago
Just checked, no, the Gov can’t fill it. Has to be a Special Election.
AdLiban hour ago
So it would be possible for a Dem to win the special election?
twilson117
an hour ago
Yes but it’s a heavily Repub district so unlikely.
AdLiban hour ago
The wheels sure seem to be coming off the Trump bus.
AdLiban hour ago
Hopefully she will forget about politics and stay home, for some reason I don’t think she would have a chance against Ossoff
twilson117
an hour ago
Now MAGA and Repubs are pissed off at Trump for embracing Mamdani, everyone else is pissed off at him for everything else he’s done, I expect polling to show another big drop next week.
AdLiban hour ago
Trump does his worse when everyone is mad at him.
twilson117
an hour ago
No, I think she’d lose against Ossoff but I do think she’ll run in 2028 as an “I told you so” about Repubs losing the house next year.
AdLiban hour ago
In 2028 people will be saying Marjorie Who?
twilson117
an hour ago
Someone proposed that Trump did this love fest with Mamdani to put out pleasant story after knowing he went too far in calling for Dems to be killed. I just think he looks like a narcissist crashing and desperate to try and stop it.
AdLiban hour ago
MTGee, who are you?
AdLiban hour ago
Trump is as trustworthy as that damn snake he likes so much.
twilson117
an hour ago
He was always telling a story about himself that was probably told to him as a cautionary tale. Instead, he adopted it proudly.
AdLiban hour ago
She is a millionaire hopefully she will just stay home and write a dumb book.
twilson117
an hour ago
I wonder if she’ll cst off her doofus boyfriend now that he will be disappointed in her not being important anymore.
AdLib44 minutes ago
I was thinking something similar
twilson117
44 minutes ago
More than likely she will start a pod cast
twilson117
43 minutes ago
Not that I really care.
AdLib43 minutes ago
And here I thought that you truly cared about little ole MTG 
twilson117
42 minutes ago
Actually, I think MTG’s “expired by” date has already passed. MAGAs will abandon her for attacking Trump, indies don’t like her and Dems despise her. Who would listen to her podcast. Her boyfriend may be the only one.
AdLib42 minutes ago
MTG’s next move will be on Daancing With the Stars.
AdLib41 minutes ago
Do you think MAGAs will start attacking Trump for embracing Mamdani?
AdLib39 minutes ago
I would say you’re correct on that, but there is always some poor soul that would somehow find her interesting, but he’s one of those that lives deep, deep in the woods with illegal moonshine making stil
twilson117
39 minutes ago
Heh!
AdLib38 minutes ago
That is the perfect description of an MTG fan!
AdLib38 minutes ago
I think that woman will do anything to get attention. I have admit I was indeed surprise of her embracing the women from the Epstein files she always seemed so self centered to me which makes me wonder if there isn’t something else to it beside the injustice that was done.
twilson117
36 minutes ago
Did you see that a bipartisan group of House members are now trying to get a Russian sanctions bill passed via discharge petition? And Johnson is so angry he could bite a banana.
AdLib35 minutes ago
I don’t look at MTG as doing anything in a genuine way. Everything she does is part of a scheme, including appearing with the Epstein victims. In this case, I’m fine with that but it’s just a con like everything else she’s ever done.
AdLib34 minutes ago
I didn’t see that. It seems that the Repug Natives are a bit upset with Magic Mike Johnson if they are doing that. Ok who do you think is going to bring the bill to floor to get him kicked out like they did good ole Kevin?
twilson117
33 minutes ago
There’s a Ukraine caucus in The House, bipartisan, and considering Dems would only need a few Repub votes if they all voted for it, it could really happen.
AdLib31 minutes ago
If she was planning running for the Senate I would put money on it she hired an image consultant who told her she needed to clean up her act if was to have any chance.
twilson117
30 minutes ago
But I don’t think Midget Mike will get voted out of being Speaker. I do think many Repubs are upset at him for putting them on recess for nearly two months.
AdLib30 minutes ago
They may be but they got paid for those two months.
twilson117
29 minutes ago
Well…comsider all the video there is of her screaming at Biden in his SOTUs, Jewish Space Lasers, racist rants, all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories, there is no coming back from all that, videos are forever.
AdLib29 minutes ago
Yes but I think most want to be in DC being big shots and voting on things that impact the nation instead of sitting home for two months mowing the lawn.
AdLib28 minutes ago
In DC getting free lunches and drinking expense Scotch and under the table money from their lobbyist friends.
twilson117
27 minutes ago
That too! They don’t want to be at home, hiding from their angry constituents.
AdLib26 minutes ago
Honestly Ad I hope they got an earful from their constitutes for what they passed. Big Beautiful Bill my ass.
twilson117
23 minutes ago
I do think that looking back, this will be a pivotal week. Epstein vote, Mamdani winning over Trump, Repubs rebelling against Johnson in The House to pass the Ukraine bill and MTG resigning. Along with Trump;s poll numbers crashing into the 30s on approval.
AdLib23 minutes ago
I guess one can call that a good week.
twilson117
22 minutes ago
TW – I bet most of them are avoiding their constituents. They’ve seen video of Repub Reps getting yelled at by their voters at toenhalls, most wouldn’t hold one and they probably were unhappy having to hide out from them. They all know they screwed their voters with the Big Ugly Bill and they’re afraid of their voters coming after them.
AdLib21 minutes ago
Yeah, the site of pitchforks and tar and fetters does cause the knees to buckle just a tad bit. 
twilson117
19 minutes ago
I think it’s very possible that MAGAs are discouraged next year and don’t turn out in big numbers while Dems and Indies turn out hugely, could be a massive Blue Tsunami.
AdLib18 minutes ago
Hopefully the SC will do the right thing on tariffs and tell Trump he is wrong, wrong, wrong.
twilson117
18 minutes ago
That is if he dems don’t screw it up as they have the tendency to do from time to time
twilson117
17 minutes ago
Yesand it seems clear that Comey and Laticia James will have the cases against them thrown out. Trump will look like such a loser after that.
AdLib17 minutes ago
This guy seems determine to get us into a shooting war for some damn reason.
twilson117
16 minutes ago
And if he attacks Venezuela, he will be even more hated in this country. Not to mention if it goes badly and we lose soldiers.
AdLib16 minutes ago
Because he thinks it makes him look strong to use the military to murder people/
AdLib15 minutes ago
Ad if he does that there will be young American boys killed for no good damn reason and if that happens he may not finish his term because I think impeachment with conviction would happen there is no reason for him to be doing what he is doing. He complained about Dems always seem to get us into war it would be him at the forefront of that and I don’t think the people would at all be happy .
twilson117
12 minutes ago
It would depend on whether MAGAs bought into his lies as to why it was worth it for those young men to die. If they believe that it was to stop drugs killing millions, he’ll stay in office. If they don’t, he could be impeached and removed. No one in America wants us to start a war with Venezuela. There is no threat. This is just about Trump abusing power for his own gratification.
AdLib10 minutes ago
Another thing, he is always bragging about stopping 7 wars, which he did not, and wanted a Nobel for that, why would the people want to support him for starting a war?
twilson117
10 minutes ago
Why would the Nobel folk give a “peace” prize to the guy murdering innocent people in boats near Venezuela already?
AdLib8 minutes ago
Even the dumbest of MAGAs know drugs aren’t coming in from Venezuela it’s mostly Colombia but there is a certain wag the dog philosophy that is popular with Rewpugs
twilson117
6 minutes ago
They wouldn’t. He’s been obsessed over that ever since Obama was awarded one.
twilson117
5 minutes ago
Yes but don’t overlook how dumb many MAGAs are and what they’d believe because they want to.
AdLib4 minutes ago
Well, it’s past 8pm and no one else has shown up. Do you want to chat a little more?
AdLib3 minutes ago
I know he has fervent base who will believe whatever he says, but many of them would be crying the loudest if it was their son or daughter killed for no good reason.
twilson117
2 minutes ago
Yeah I will call in a short bit need to do some quick KP.
twilson117
2 minutes ago
Right and many in MAGA believed Trump when he promised no more stupid wars and America First. Many will feel betrayed.
AdLib2 minutes ago
Okay!
