Pay attention. It's not the stranglehold that Trump has on the GOP base that unites them.

It could be any person who expresses the same vitriol, hate, and racism that he does and they would worship that person in the same way. In my area of Maryland there are quite a few fascist-loving immigrants who, although in the minority express fealty to Trump. Quite a few Russian-speaking, Spanish-speaking (EU), and Italian too. They gather at the Corner Bakery most mornings with a lot of Trump chatter that changes from English to their native language when other customers come into the bakery. I really do not know if they are citizens who can vote or citizens in-waiting. Four of them moved into our condo and immediately began instigating chaos at our condo board meetings. There are a lot of elderly who have been living here for 10 or more years and they are intimidated by their vile and nasty comments at the meetings. Of course they have succeeded in adding a few others from among the older residents to join their group. Now we have as much unrest and chaos as the greater voting public. Sad.

They are the reason I became so intrigued with the docu Active Measures. I need to calm down but what I witness in my own community is alarming.

If Walker wins the runoff, Trump is here to stay because Walker is his candidate.

No matter what happens to the Senate in NV and AZ, if Walker wins in GA Trump will rail about his influence and definitely will run in 2024. The only hope for our democracy is that the voters in GA understand this and vote against Walker and let democracy live another day. Dems need to make this clear in their ads. Pump up the Biden agenda and what it is doing for America but remind them that a vote for Walker, is a vote against democracy because he is a Trump candidate, election denier, liar, and anti-democracy. The runoff will determine whether or not our democracy survives and Trump is neutered. If Walker loses it will force the GOP Senators to begin to act and govern on behalf of the American people at last!

Morning Joe: Talking about the tasteless comments about Pelosi's husband.

Stop making excuses for the disgusting people who made the disgusting comments. Kari Lake is who she is and who she says she is and so are all the rest.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

Younkin and all the rest...it's who they are and we should believe them the first time.

In auto for a run to the store. Accidently turned knob to FOX.

They are sad but holding on to the most stupid memes. One was that "unless the Dems come up with something besides, abortion, infrastructure, prescription drugs prices, and the environment, they will lose in 2024." WTF?

Still waiting for that doddering old fool President Biden to speak...oh, wait! That's Dark Brandon!

I just love this man. He gets better with every speech. Looking good, alert, snappy, swagger...

Wonder what Trump is thinking now? Probably sending out for more ketchup.

Wow! Talk me down from being nervous about the GA runoff. I have a bad feeling about it.

It seems too possible that Walker has a good chance because the Senate will hang in the balance. Will Trump appear for him and rev up turnout for the MAGAs? The 2% Libertarians according to the pundits will all go for Walker. My hope is they will stay home.
