The woman senator from Arizona may leave we need Georgia. She did nothing to help Mark Kelly or any other Arizons candidates at all in the election

We're still counting votes for mayor's race in Los Angeles and I'm so pleased to see the candidate I voted for is pulling ahead (Karen Bass). The guy she's running against (Rick Caruso) apparently changed parties last minute to Democrat and is a life long Republican billionaire/real estate developer. He's got the support of the Kardashians (big surprise there).

I hope the Democrats see right through this fake and kick him to the curb.

It was sickening to see the poll on tv about how many people would vote for that ... again. 53% when they showed it. What is wrong with people??

I get the feeling these are the same type of people who shoot up into the air and don't care where the bullet lands or how much damage it does.

Agent Orange announced 2024 run. His new slogan seems to be "Make America Great and Glorious Again". MAGAGA? Sounds about right.
An another note, the missiles that landed in Poland were apparently Ukrainian, fired in response to incoming Russian fire. So NATO won't have to go all Article 5 on Russia's ass. Thank goodness.

The New York Post did a five-inch article on page 26 about DT's announcement. It was brutal. Can't find it online to post a link. NPR had a brutal lead on their story about the announcement. I think a lot of the press is going to be rough on DT.
This is the NPR lead: Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, announced he is running again for president in 2024.

From the New York Post:
On the front page: Florida Man Makes Announcement
Article: Been There Don That: With just 720 days until the next election, a Florida retiree made a surprise announcement that he was running for president.
It goes on from there calling him an avid golfer and calling Mar-a-Largo a resort and his classified documents library.

It was sickening to see the poll on tv about how many people would vote for that ... again. 53% when they showed it. What is wrong with people?? The cult following is strong with him. My BIL and SIL and I and my ex-husband (it's his brother and his brother's wife) no longer speak and it's due to their newfound boldness with being overt racist and transphobic bigots thanks to their leader showing them that it's the way to be. SIL is/was also extremely close with her mom and brother and she no longer speaks to them either because although her mom isn't even very political (about as benign as you can get), she told her daughter she was concerned about how up Trump's ass she was and so she stopped speaking to her mom. Same as her brother, who is democrat but democrat light, very centrist. My ex says with people like them they will eventually cut everyone out who doesn't agree with them. I guess the same could be said for me, in that I'm no longer interested in having friendly ties with friends or family who are team Trump because it speaks so much for their character, or lack thereof. Supporting a man who would hurt people they love means they love him more than those they claim to love. It's really quite concerning to see the hold he's got over his supporters and how easily fooled and swayed they are.

finreporter, I'm sorry your family is being that way. I know too many people who feel like he's the better choice and I can't see why they think that. He's like every vile human trait rolled up into one "human being".

Nancy Pelosi is stepping down from party leadership. She will remain as representative from San Francisco (wonder if she'll run for re-election next time around). I heard her speak at a woman's conference quite a few years ago in San Francisco. I do not care for her as a person (even though I really don't know anything about her) but I certainly admire her as a politician.

I believe Pelosi's replacement as Minority House Leader will be Hakeem Jeffries. He is 52, grad of NYU School of Law, rep for NY 8th Congressional District since 2013 (parts of eastern Brooklyn and s/w Queens). Married, one son. Good luck, sir. You'll need it.
I'm also interested to see if McCarthy will get enough votes right away to be the Majority Speaker. Some repubs are already vowing they won't vote for him. He needs 218 votes.

Jefferies has Charisma much more thanMccarthy who has a sing song voice that's monotonous
