They're gonna lose the House and they know it...

[PCIntern]

They are metaphorically gesticulating wildly because they know:

A. That their days are numbered

2. That the metaphorical (again) shit is gonna hit the fan.

You know, I listened to assholes like Jonathan Lemire for two years, talking about how there were going to be all these committees investigating Democrats, and all kinds of hell to pay, and he and others were wrong about that as well as being terrifyingly badly wrong about the Red Wave. There was nothing to uncover, the Rethug House members made absolute fools out of themselves, and they exposed their own sins mightily.

They are gonna lose some Senate races which they thought they had in the bag, and of course, Trump is gonna be decimated electorally and in the popular vote. This is entirely because a whole lotta folks are tired of taking their shit.

How do I know this? Because not only are voters fed up, but no candidate on their side, the Nazi side, is gonna have a dime to buy ads because the Creamsicle is in the process of stealing it all.

Fuck these people and their moralizing, their fake angers, their hate, their bigotry, their phoniness, and their whole holier-than-thou bullshit mentality. We need to flush the toilet and send the metaphorical logs and paper down to the metaphorical sewer where it all belongs.

I’m out of metaphors for the moment.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

1. You have NO MORE FUCKS to give!

The sane Republicans ( no pun intended), are LEAVING.

Al that will be left are the MAGAts.

[Klondike Kat]

73. Just had to put this here...

[CrispyQ]

2. There was a commentary yesterday that we need to electorally mercy-kill the Republican Party, & they were not wrong. -nt

[I_UndergroundPanther]

9. I think it's a good idea

A mercy killing because the Republican Party is rabid and biting anyone they can even when they are lying and making up shit and listening to Russian propaganda and bullshit to do pointless wasteful and silly investigations against Biden and the Dems out of vengeance and pettyness.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

47. There's no hope for him now, Travis. He's sufferin'. You know we've got to do it.

Hopefully sanity (the Lincoln Party?) will arise from the ashes and push us back Left

[Vogon_Glory]

29. The Republican Party needs to go away

What’s left isn’t conservative or even republican (Yes, I used the lower-case R). The party has fallen into the hands of grifters, reactionary ideologues, and wanna-be dictators as sordid as those in Europe in the 1930’s and Latin America afterwards.

I come from a family that used to be considered center-right. The Republican Party has since run so far to the right in the last thirty five plus years that there was no place for us—unless we wanted to be useful idiots for the Republican Party’s reactionary wing. So of course I left, as did hundreds of thousands of other politically-aware people with consciences.

The reactionaries took over and they in turn are being subsumed or thrown out by the MAGAs. What’s left is not only out of step with the rest of us, but fascist-minded and un-American. It should not continue in a representative republic.

I hope it dies.

[OMGWTF]

55. Rethuglicans are almost irrelevant in the great, beautiful, blue state of California!

As California goes, so goes the nation. Goddess, I hope so!

[COL Mustard]

62. I hear what you're saying,

But let them hang around and suffer.

[sheshe2]

65. I am pretty sure somewhere in the MAGA flies...

That there is a 'Do Not Resuscitate' order in place.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. The Trump hostile takeover of the RNC ain't gonna help them in November.

[PortTack]

19. Oh no kidding! If anything it will increase our majority in the house and help us keep the senate!

[DLCWIdem]

76. As long as we keep Trump out i am happy

[PortTack]

81. That's good...I'm much more greedy, I want all three!

[DLCWIdem]

82. The most important thing

Is for Biden to win. The rest is icing on the cake. I wouldn't be nearly as happy if we get the House and Senate but lose the WH.

[Cheezoholic]

33. I honestly think it's possible at some point for the more centrist corporate Dems (not Manchinites)

to cleave off of our party and fill the power vacuum and move on the Repuke Party after they make like a fusion bomb soon.. That would be fine with me

[calimary]

36. And THAT has to be the basic lesson here.

Let this be The Cautionary Tale. You pull shit like this? You think you’ll run the table in the elections and wind up OWNING the table? Maybe temporarily, until you’ve pissed off a critical mass of voters that pledge allegiance to the flag and the Constitution, and WILL eventually have the last word.

[sheshe2]

66. You are right, it won't.

How TSF and his minions think that they can get away with funneling all the QNC funds to trump is beyond my ken.

From what I have read so far, they are abandoning ship and vowing not to fund them.

This is a last ditch effort on TSF's part and I do believe it will fail.

[OAITW r.2.0]

67. When Trump loses....what's the RNC's gameplan?

There isn't any.

[sheshe2]

69. They are going to have their work cut out for them.

If they want to survive they need to move that needle from extreme far right back to center. I don't really think that they can.

[llmart]

4. I hope to god you are right.

Just think of what all Biden could accomplish with both houses of Congress.

[multigraincracker]

17. That's my wet dream.

Please cum true.

[PCIntern]

25. I see what you did there....

Cumquat May.

[calimary]

37. Ay-yi-yi!

Good one!

Actually several good ones!

[sheshe2]

68. Speaking of that.

I saw, on Twit, a picture of an Elmers Glue bottle with the glue leaking down the cap (it is an orange cap.) The caption was "Trump supporters reaction when seeing a trump flag.

Gross, but it was funny.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

40. I think he/she is right.

I'm an independent truck driver and I travel the country, stopping at many a truck station in this great nation of ours, and the gossip I'm hearing from fellow truck drivers, corporate and independent, is that they're sick and fucking tired of Been-A-Dick Donald's crap and will either vote for Pres. J. Biden or won't vote at all, which is, in reality, a vote for Pres. J. Biden.

Been-A-Dick Donald is no friend to truck drivers and more of my truck driver comrades are realizing that and coming to grips what this lunatic represents.

[usonian]

5. I like Robert DeNiro's ringing endorsement of Donnie.

He's so fucking stupid.

He's a fucking moron

A televangelist

He's dangerous. We've got to get rid of him.

I think he was holding back.
----
And he's going to grift the RNC until it's flat busted broke.

🌊

[calimary]

38. Seems as though that's already happened.

I really like the reports about the RNC hurting for money. ESPECIALLY when trump is siphoning away as much as he can, to cover his legal bills!

ALWAYS trying to get more OPM. Other People’s Money.

[True Blue American]

71. And I thought DeNiro

Was smart. I gues he is just like the parts he plays.

[agingdem]

6. exactly...

when the MAGA idiots took the House in 2022 they never intended to govern...revenge and retribution was the name of their game...expunge Trump's impeachments/impeach Joe Biden...what the MAGA cretins didn't see coming was our new Dem leadership...Hakeem Jeffries and the Dem caucus were onto Jordan/Comer/Gaetz/Greene/McCarthy and the MAGA way of "doing business" and they knew how to knee-cap the bogus hearings non-credible grievance witnesses...

[Hugin]

12. That's all a Trumpian les Cent Jours has to offer is more revenge and retribution.

That’s it! They’re plainly said so.

The few remaining establishment Republicans who haven’t capitulated (looking at you Mitch) or run perpendicular to the collapse (Romneys, Cheney). Are banking on kissing up just long enough to ram through some of their long held grudges that would render them unelectable for generations by somehow convincing TSF that taking grandma’s food money away is reveng-ie or by using TSF’s reign of fail as a distraction to do whatever the hell they want.

[calimary]

39. Yup. That is it.

[Hugin]

7. I am on metaphor overload myself.

Right there with you, doc.

[erronis]

8. Might take several flushes and plungers to get them through.

Gotta feel sorry for the sewage plant operators.

How about using some wood chippers? Or those turkey skinners as proudly displayed by Sorry Palin?

[Hekate]

10. I hope you are right. I really really do.

[TSExile]

11. They did it to themselves.

[Warpy]

28. They made too many dealw with too many devils

Rich fascists, southern bigots, criminals, religious fanatics, and finally a wannabe dictator.

You make deals with devils, you need to know the devils will take over at some point.

They just never seem to learn.

[calimary]

41. That's a TERRIFIC way to put it!

Too many deals with too many devils! Spot on, Warpy!

[SoFlaBro]

13. Fuck that shit they preach every week about MAGA investigating and impeaching. They won't do fucking squat.

[Ping Tung]

14. It is a joy to watch. In 2020 they sacrificed a safe Repug seat to a MAGA.

She had been in office for 12 years and was a very dependable party voter.
But, she backed Romney in 2016 and voted for Trump's impeachment. Much to the surprise of everyone here. Dems, Pugs, and Indies. It is an "open" primary here with a "top two" runoff. She lost to a Super Maga endorsed by Don. It was close but for the first time in 12 years we have a Liberal Dem as our congress person. She's not a revolutionary but liberal enough for the left and the moderates and probably a few pubs who don't like Donnie and the MAGAloons here,

[no_hypocrisy]

15. Gonna be hard to be a dictator with Democrats in both Houses of Congress.

[IronLionZion]

16. They keep saying things are miserable in America

so let's put them out of their misery. A Dem congress can actually pass important legislation like bipartisan border/immigration reform

[soldierant]

48. Real refoems - ones that

don't break international law, which is what the Pubes want.

[multigraincracker]

18. Let's make it happen.

GOTV, donate. Rinse and repeat.

[Gaugamela]

20. Their ship is sinking as they watch the orange goon pull it to pieces to try to build

himself a lifeboat that will never float. Democrats like Swalwell, Moskowitz, Crockett, Raskin and others have turned the tables on them and are beating them at their own game and they know it. They’re waking up after a seven-year bender to find the MAGA mojo is as stale and flat and odiferous as last night’s beer spilled all over the carpet, that their need to barf is competing with an overwhelming urge to punch Gaetz and Jordan in the face, and that they wrecked the car and the house and they’ve pissed their pants and their wives have left them and the cops are pounding on the door.

(Had to indulge in a few metaphors of my own.)

[PCIntern]

22. Very well done...

[Joinfortmill]

21. Rofl. Loved this!

[onecaliberal]

23. K&R

[FalloutShelter]

24. Ken Buck of Colorado is OUT as of today.

He was retiring at the end of the year, but suddenly out.
The rats are leaving the ship.
The Rethugs are down to a two-vote margin in the House.
We are going to cream them in November, and they know it.

[JoseBalow]

32. As of today?

I thought it was as of the end of next week

[usaf-vet]

27. I asked this question yesterday. On a DU post yesterday. See links below.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=18767849

Biden beaten in effigy at Kansas GOP fundraiser, drawing condemnation from fellow Republicans

My Question:

Exactly! How is this any different from putting a set of crosshairs on a picture of a president? That will get you a visit from the Secret Service. THIS SHOULD AS WELL!

[WestMichRad]

30. My guess is...

… their thinking is along the lines of: a combination of voter suppression, intimidation, misinformation, manipulation and maybe even bullying/violence, and they can steal elections and coronate their shit-for-brains criminal leader. (Then having majorities in Congress won’t matter because he can just dissolve the Knesset… er, Congress.). They’re sure not trying to win votes by proposing policy, are they?

[rubbersole]

34. Don't forget AI and who controls the platforms.

The oligarch owners of the wealth in this country are financing/counting on it.

[Phoenix61]

46. The oligarchs are, I would think, quite happy with

the current economy. The stock market is doing well and all those infrastructure projects are money waiting to be made.

[Attilatheblond]

49. Pay REALLY CLOSE ATTENTION to any GOP officials in your county

All voters in my county nearly lost our voice in the 2020 election because 2 of 3 County Supervisors were refusing to do their lawfully REQUIRED duty of certifying our election. Why? Well, noisy MAGAs were at a lot of the county meetings screaming the ballots were not safe, machines (all tested & certified) were not reliable, despite every audit of every polling place was in agreement with the machine totals for the whole. Their guy lost, they knew it. Kari Lake lost, and they knew it, but they were not going to allow the losses to happen, so they damned near disenfranchised over 47,000 voters, the (slim) majority of which were registered Republicans!

We have sniffed out the stink of out of state operatives trying to motivate some officials to just take the election in their own hands and fuck the will of the public.

Pay REALLY close attention to what GOP officials in your county are doing. There is a lot more going on than what your read online or hear on media. Voter suppression is gonna be a major weapon this year.

Most of us in AZ vote early by mail in ballot. I seriously worry that my signature on my ballot envelope will not match my signature from years ago when I first moved here and registered. I have sever arthritis and nerve impingement, so my signature never really looks the same twice. Our County Recorder is a GOP operative who encourage our 2 stupidvisors to insist on an illegal hand count in 2020. Do I think him capable of trying to disallow a lot of ballots from a lot of us geezers based on the reality that our signatures cannot possibly look exactly the same as when we registered? Why, yes, I do think he is that corrupt. And I have tried to get the word out that WE ALL must pay him personal visits in his office to prove our point re degradation in our ability to write the same as we age, should he rule our ballots ineligible based on variances in signatures We have to make sure our ballot was counted and challenge/confront ANY attempt to disqualify our ballots.

Suppression is a creature with many, many arms. Be aware.

[Iwasthere]

53. Me too

My signature NEVER looks the same. And what about doctors? They're notorious for random signatures

[DLCWIdem]

77. Yes.

Suppression is going to be a major strategy from the GOP this year. Marc Elias has already warned us that voter rolls are being purged in a couple of states. Georgia and Wisconsin for example. I think some of the DNC money needs to go to fight this. And Dems need to be hyper aware.

[Attilatheblond]

78. Check your registration status often, especially just before registration deadline in your state

[link:https://vote.gov/|]

Our county Recorder is a MAGA jerk and I trust him as far as I can throw him. I check often, and definitely just before the registration deadline so I can make sure I have time to fix it if he purges me from voter rolls. If he dares do that, I will be in the county offices to re-register and tell him, face to face, to NEVER try such a stunt again.

Loud, surly, and I carry a cane.

Edited to add another link [link:https://www.usa.gov/voter-registration/|]

[bucolic_frolic]

31. The plan was to abuse, demoralize, and steal for religious purposes

Abuse minds with logical fallacies, false promises, hatred.

Demoralize with dhootings, ineffective government, blame, shame, poverty, Dobbs.

Steal with tax cuts for those who don't need it, with gerrymandering and judicial chicanery.

Now that everyone's miserable and things are going to hell in a handbasket, preach religion, thoughts and prayers, and soak up donations religiously and politically.

I am thinking the roots of this fleecing are in religious zealots trying to control everyone so they steal the money. Maybe it's Televangelism 3.0.

[BadGimp]

35. Creamsicle has been added to my Alt trump Names listicle

Thank you!

[live love laugh]

42. So they'll steal the Senate back. They will not willinglycede control.

[Wednesdays]

43. If we all work hard this year getting out the vote, it'll come true

See my sig line.

[PatSeg]

44. I have to agree with you

The republican party is toast and they are going to lose big time come November. They just keep alienating voters and they can't win with just the lunatic base.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

45. Democracy and fascism are mutually exclusive. Voters need to know that.

[kimbutgar]

50. I hope and pray your prediction comes true

After hearing today about that 2025 project trying to destroy our country I was fearful.

[marble falls]

51. They're losing it as we type.

[Initech]

52. If they do lose it, it couldn't have happened to a better bunch of assholes!

And Fox News can eat shit for making it happen. Really the worst Congress in American history since the Civil War. Now if we can get rid of some of the more vocal morons.

[OMGWTF]

54. THIS!!!

[brewens]

56. If only they could install Donnie Jr. as NRA president. That's a big pile of money to steal and squander.

I think he'd be a perfect fit.

[brush]

57. Amen. Righteous rant.

[elleng]

58. THANKS, and I'll never have a dreamsicle again!

(until 'he's GONE!')

[Torchlight]

59. The sudden uptick in "things aren't/this isn't looking good for us" conversations I overhear tend to substantiate that

(in a very informal sense of the word... that for the sake the Statlers and Waldorfs of the neghborhood). I've noticed as things become clear, the amount of people trying to muddy those things up increases. When the collective mood on the left rises, it often seems those very same people will begin playing as many Fear, Uncertainty, & Doubt cards as they have in their soft hands.

[AllaN01Bear]

60. no more colourful metaphors for thee. thanks for posting.

[PennRalphie]

61. I keep saying that PA is going for Biden big

The economy here is incredible. Infrastructure money is pouring into western PA. The Democrats may have the house before the month is over. I was on a long weekend family trip and the amount of money people are spending is phenomenal. The media lie about the economy isn’t working. I think it’s going to be a great 2024.

[DLCWIdem]

79. I wasn't worried about Penn

It's Wisconsin I am worried about. AND MIchigan. Michigan has the uncommitted vote. Although I am a WI resident I can't Guage the mood in other areas of the state.

[calimary]

63. The term "Speaker Jeffries" has a nice ring to it!

[Permanut]

64. Righteous rant.

and extra credit for "the Creamsicle".

[True Blue American]

70. I despise Jonathon.

Now Kasie Hunt is on for 2 hours in the morning so I’ do not have to see his smirks.

[PCIntern]

72. He is a faux-righteous condescending prig

And yes…I spelled that correctly

[democratsruletheday]

74. Nicely said PC...

THAT'S why I come on here. Keep bringin' it strong.

[moonscape]

75. I love hearing

‘..decimated electorally…’ because I’m still fearful here. Will. No Labels get their act together? Even if it’s partial and meager, could that and fractional other candidates swing it the wrong way. Is my fear rational or merely PTSD?

[Chakaconcarne]

80. I always hope that one reason Democrats aren't so much on the offense...

but continuing to keep the pressure on, is they are just letting the GOP slowly self-implode....

A hope anyway.
