I am trying to figure out where people came to believe Martial Law can and will stop elections. Elections cannot be stopped by declaring martial law, as there is no authority or mechanism under martial law to do so. If elections do not happen, it won't be because of martial law.

Trump thinks Zelensky did it, and he likely got the idea from him.

As shitty as SCOTUS is being, they're making the perfect public case to institute massive necessary reforms of the court, a position previously viewed as toxic.

How do you think that will be accomplished? It pretty much takes changes to the constitution to reform the Supreme Court. Democrats will never have enough seats for that, unless MAGA literally votes democrat.

Also in recent days Trump has fired Erik Siebert because he couldn't find evidence to lock up Trumps political opponents, so now he's ordering Pam Bondi to do it out in the open. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore.



Rant to Bondi:

Investigate all they want. Felony charges still require grand juries to indict, and they haven't been so keen to do that with flimsy bs evidence DOJ hacks have been putting up.

No it doesn't. It takes a simple majority. Congress has the power to add or take away seats, add districts, change rules for jurisdiction and so forth.

The democrats couldn't even appoint a new Judge when one died on their watch with a simple majority. You want to argue they are going to do major Supreme Court reform with a simple majority?

And which judge was that?

The appetite for changing the rules a few years ago was a lot different than what it would be today. Why do you assume political positions are static?

LOL the appetite of Dems leaders when they have power is:

1. Don't do anything
2. Don't let anyone else do anything
3. Make sure nothing gets done!

It took AOC to unseat one of the leaders for them to panic and throw us a bone with the build back better but if you notice.. they gave away 200 times the funds to red states as they did to blue ones.

Aid for red state farmers, rural internet in red states.. nothing for housing/ homeless in blue states, nothing for mental health, no background checks for guns.

FFS they didn't even undo my SALT limit penalties that raised my taxes.

My mistake, I thought they had a simple majority when Scalia died.

But I don't see any change unless MAGA is somehow broken as a movement.

It's hard to imagine the Democrats winning rigged elections going forward, unless MAGA is somehow broken. MAGA literally has to eat it's own before they wake up and I don't mean a few farmers losing their farms, which all he needs to do is give farmers another bailout right before midterms, and they will all vote Red again.

The Autocrats are in charge, and all the independent agencies are being stuffed with corrupt operatives. Gerrymandering and voter suppression, and who knows what other corruption will be in full force, and Red State governors will also be complicit.

Blue state governors will oppose, but the ICE and the Army will be likely doing targeted voter intimidation there...
 
Congrats to Brazil and our proud Trump voting farmers.

U.S. Soybean Harvest Starts with No Sign of Chinese Buying as Brazil Sets Export Record​


https://www.agriculture.com/partner...-buying-as-brazil-sets-export-record-11815155

The U.S. soybean harvest began in September without any orders from the world’s largest buyer: China. American producers are harvesting a crop the USDA estimates at 4.3 billion bushels, and there is no indication of when shipments to China will resume. In a typical year, China buys more than half of all U.S. soybean exports. Meanwhile, Brazil set a record for shipments to China from January through August 2025.

Well the billionaires seem to love MAGA despite paying bribes and would not even consider a democratic socialist..

Also I'm not happy with Schumer and the dems just cooperating with the GOP everytime.

Right now he's planning on extending medicaid but the GOP voted to wreck it.

Should just let it happen and see the red states get fucked but Schumer seems intent on saving the MAGA from killing themselves.

 
So Ozempic goes from $2100 a month to $4200??

I'm not sure about Jardiance.

These tariffs are just the mob's muscle fees from medicare/ medicaid straight to MAGA's pockets!

None of this tariff shit even makes any sense. Trump is just drunkenly handing out tariffs.

Which is why, by law, Congress has that power.
Trump enacting tariffs is proof positive that America is lawless.
That makes us an unreliable and dangerous trading partner.

Rest of the world would do good to cut their loses, as they are doing.
Meanwhile, our standard of living will freaking plummet to levels not seen since the Great Depression.
MAGA has made America great, like the 1930s again.
 
I, for one, look forward a few months down the road to when Customs posts a video showing officers burning a pile of confiscated contraband bathroom fixtures, you know,…
