600,000 Virginians voted against The Criminal yesterday. 435,000 voted for him. The NYT is reporting, no doubt, why that's bad for Biden.

Let's grow and nationalize that margin.

NYT and every other corporate media outlet longs for an extraordinarily expensive campaign. I believe that the greed of corporate media is the driving force behind much of the disinformation and division in the country. Why deflate false narratives when they make for competitive political contests…and competitive political contests make for higher media spending.

They miss the Orange Ogre, and us in a panic, doom-scrolling to see what horrible thing the insane toddler said or did.

Of course they are.

What is the source of the 600,000 figure, please? I'm seeing 255K votes "against The Criminal." Thank you.

Here’s another story the press isn’t reporting: in state after state where republican voters are NOT all in for Trump, why is congress in lock step? Where are the follow-the-money gumshoes when you need them? Ghost of Deep Throat, if you’re listening please do a deep dive into the bank-account less Speaker, the congress people who’ve racked up Air Putin frequent flyer miles, and the payer-offer of Kavanaugh’s mortgage. It would be a great start into a true look at what the fuck is going on in East Russia, formerly known as the USA.

Expand full comment

East Russia!! Perfect. On a side note, can MAGAs send mail-in ballots for Putin in his upcoming staged "election"? Surely a registered MAGA is at the very least an honorary Russian.

Doesn’t it tell you everything when people say “Yeah! This country could use a dictator”????!?!

and we did a fantastic job on … that, we never got credit for that, unbelievable job on that, we came up with things that nobody thought was possible . . .

Trump can't even remember the word vaccine. His vocabulary is shrinking daily.

He sounds exactly like my Mom when she was deep into dementia

He never was a particularly eloquent speaker, and it hurts my brain trying to decipher his stream-of-consciousness ramblings. He reminds me of my nephew, at five years old, who was so happy to talk, he rambled on about whatever was in the room.

You used my favorite picture ever of a sad and defeated diaper man to start things off. And.... "Sundowning Grandpa Memoryhole"? Another winner. 😂😂 I didnt even other to watch the embarrassing hype last night. We all knew what the outcome would be. All we can hope for now is a massive coronary and an even massive-er voter turnout. PS. Sinema is smart enough to grab all the cash and still show her bad taste in appearance. 🤦‍♀️ Good riddance.

I didn’t bother to watch it either. It all came out as I expected, well, not the vote in American Samoa, but everything else. NPR is telling about the percentage of Haley voters who are voting against tfg. It’s close to two thirds.

Expand full comment

That’s awesome news. I just can’t wait for this BS to be over. 🤦‍♀️ it’s so emotionally draining.

Expand full comment

If I remember correctly, American Samoa voted for Michael Bloomberg in 2020, so, not exactly a bellwether.

Expand full comment

And the person who came in 2nd behind Bloomberg was Tulsi Gabbard. Obviously, American Samoa can NOT be taken seriously 🙄

Expand full comment

I don't think they even get to vote in the General Election, or it doesn't count or something like that. WAY too lazy to look it up. It seems a little colonial of us -- "here, American Samoa, take your play votes and go in the other room."

Expand full comment

She has ties to Samoa, I believe her dad was from there originally.

Expand full comment

Yep on good riddance to Sinema! We voted for her and it didn't take long for us to be so pissed off with how she screwed over all of us who saw her as someone who would do good things!!! Hoping like hell Ruben Gallego crushes Krazy Lake come Nov!

Expand full comment

Sinema's betrayal of her constituents and the Democratic party that brought her to the dance was unreal. Total nightmare - voting rights, etc. lost. Her betrayal of her party was like looking up from the ledge, hanging by one's fingertips. Along comes Krysten Sinema, you inhale deeply, using all your strength to yell, "Krysten, over here. Thank God you found me!" And instead of running over and reaching down with a saving hand, she saunters over and smirks, "I can't be bought." while crushing your fingertips under her Doc Martens. Well, now it's our turn. Bye, bitch!

I wish she had not chosen to run for Senate yet. She knows how it works, she hasn’t been there long enough, & now she’s given up her seat in the House where she’s badly needed

Expand full comment

Thanks as always Jeff. So great that Sinema can be off to pursue her dreams. Maybe clown college. However, more than likely, she can now officially be a lobbyist for some society harming industry, maybe big pharma, maybe oil and coal, maybe all of the above. She no longer needs to hide in the shadows.

Regardless, I'm guessing it won't be long before Kari Lake joins Aileen Cannon in the "I want to be the next Mrs. Donald Trump" contest ("The Prison Apprentice's Wife -coming this fall on NBC?")

While drunk driving is at best inadvisable, and at worst, as stupid as Marjorie Taylor Greene, if America continues to embrace drunk voting, we're going to have to turn in all of our nuclear weapons to a more responsible country. France just enshrined Women's reproductive rights in their Constitution (granted, we no longer care about any of the silly amendments to ours, especially none before or after the 2nd Amendment), perhaps France should hold on to our nukes until someone has a chance to hit Control-Alt-Delete and reboot the United States (and set the willfully ignorant flag to 'No."

Is that your subtle, get-past-the censors at WaPo, way of saying she is an "attention whore?" (With apologies to sex workers.)

Expand full comment

Actually, I was afraid I was being mean to the neuro-divergent. But when people are voting for a senator, they should know that kind of diagnosis upfront.

Expand full comment

The word is “asshole.” Don’t blame assholeism on neurodivergence. Only one of those terms explains Elon Musk or Kirsten Sinema.

Expand full comment

I don't think neurodivergence is securely enough defined at this point to know what it actually means. It's really hard to measure how a brain functions and what “normal" is. Basically, I was making a joke.

Expand full comment

Elon is an Aspie and doesn't understand social cues, he is also a troll who thrives on attention. He happens to be both but not all neurodivergent, are assholes as he is. That is to say he is an asshole in spite of being neurodivergent but there has to be a better way to explain it.

My wife, who avoids judging one’s appearance, said Sinema deserves whatever bashing she receives for wearing that outfit. 😁

I'm still not over the denim vest, leggings, and whatever else there was when she "presided" over the Senate that ONE time. I assume all she did was issue hall passes.

The only super thing about Super Tuesday was Kyrsten Sinema's announcement. Nikki Haley will do a one-eighty and endorse Trump because she's above all, ambitious, and probably holds out hope for veep. Trump's already trying to make nice with her voters like he never cast them out of MAGA world because who in the Republican party gives a fuck about what anybody said yesterday?

As I’ve commented on other columns, I will bet that Donny Dumpster Fire doesn’t make it to Election Day. Whether broke, sick, dying, or just lost in the desert of his own mind, he won’t be there. He can’t handle another humiliating loss, and that’s where this whole thing is headed. The Repubs in Congress should get smart and design a Plan B. By going for broke with the TFG, they are writing their own obituaries. I’m here for that - all day!

Ok. Here in Arizona, I reply from these lowly heights! It’s a very good thing that Sinema has seen the light and come to Jesus on her chances for reelection. Now Arizonans need to get behind Ruben Gallegos in order to defeat that tRump harem member Kari Lake.

Dear Washington Post and New York Times,

Please allow at least one of your news reporters to observe this truth:

Two old men.

One has 50+ years of honorable public service. And he works to help people.

The other has convictions for rape and business fraud. And he steals from people, demanding to get away with it.

Has it come to this? Once heralded and respected newspaper publishers are somehow frightened of the Trump/MAGA crowd that they neglect to see the truth and report it?

Well? WP and NYT what do you have to say for yourselves? Huh? 🦗🦗🦗🦗

While the National News (CBS, ABC, NBC) don't seem to realize what a dumpster fire Chump is, many Republicans do and are acting on it. Those who worship the Toddler King will continue to worship him no matter what. As for the NYT, the fine people of New York have had 77 years of the disgraceful and repulsive Donald. He has not turned over any new leaves. In fact his tree is rotten up through the trunk and it is going to fall over in the next bad storm which is coming soon.

Back in 2016, I came to the conclusion that the ball cap wearing guys in the pick up trucks waving Trump flags were kind of hoping that if they hung out with their buddy Trump long enough, he would let them sleep with Melania.

Well, they’ve already seen her naked.

Expand full comment

I hope that Haley doesn't stoop so low as to approve Trump. Did he ever say anything nice about her after 2020? Like Liz Cheney, she is tagged as a female RINO. The Republicans are real good at condemning women. The GOP is not grand in any way now that it is the party of Trump and nothing but. Don't like it, you're out.

A true American horror story named Donald Trump. I look for him to lose the popular vote much worse than in 2016 and 2020 on my 73rd birthday November 5, 2024. He is already repeating the scam "rigged election" talk from the last time and will cry and scream about how unfair it is that the Supreme Ruler of the Universe is not universally adored.

Expand full comment

BIG differences from 2020 and 2021: he will not be an incumbent, so all of his screaming and whining can be ignored; everyone will be ready for his MAGAts from November 5th on, especially on January 6th, January 20th, and throughout 2025 until he dies; his criminal trials WILL continue despite his claims that they're all about "election interference," and he will be convicted and go to prison where he belongs, again, until he dies. The rest of his miserable life is not pretty, and he brought it ALL on himself -- a slow, years-long suicide.
