It's meant to make libs happy like the national guard giving donuts.

I got email blasted and I reported so much spam

The "death squads" really pissed me off. You are wanting money to fight death squads with YOUR track record? Lmao.

It's like prosperity gospel at this point for liberals wanting to believe in the us electoral system. Delusional and awful.

Okay I misunderstood you, I thought you were talking about the presidential election, not midterms.

That being said, there are very few competitive districts due to gerrymandering. I haven't done electoral analysis in a while (I have given up on US electoralism) but it looks like only 18 house seats are competitive. . Maybe a few lean D's as well to keep the house.

Senate would be a bit more of a challenge. The question I think is if they can get enough manpower and use enough violence to sway the 2026 midterms. I think they can, I think this will be a very violent election.

The military thing is interesting. I think Trump’s personal gestapo at this point is ice, and I doubt there are enough people in ice to shut down the election in every county, or even just the ones that are competitive.

He just needs to suppress the vote in urban areas in swing states. I'd be shitting myself in Atlanta or Philly.

It's doable.

Senators having a 6 year term and having no recall options was a horrible decision. Kristen Sinema and Fetterman are prime examples of this.

Did fucking chatGPT write this? (not you, Hakeem Jeffries)

I'm an American living abroad and in all honesty I think I would greatly struggle dating an American because of crazy relatives like this. I could not deal with American in-laws in my life; I left for a reason.

Went over to liberal gun owners. After Jan 6th they were acting all tough and now that the chips are down? Being total libs.

I was a research engineer at an FFDRC and left to Europe. I have known multiple who have including a very senior researcher at NASA JPL.

I know people here who decided to come here instead of the US over Trump. One had an offer to University of Oklahoma she declined, another declined an offer from Columbia.

The brain drain has started.

If there are two things the French are known for, it's being apologetic and having a massive budget surplus to give away

Okay that one was pretty good.

Musk was known for firing his safety engineers when they told him to follow best safety practices.

That job absolutely sucks with bad leadership

They got their sights on Texas Tech and Texas A&M too.
