I love this new grift by the former president. One thing you have to give it to Trump is his ability to milk his base. Now he is filing lawsuits against Twitter, Facebook and Google that they are state actors so that he can sue them on first amendment rights. Of course he has setup a donation to fund this adventure within the courts which I might add he still has a huge treasure chest of cash already. Every day I think, I should get into politics if its this easy to separate people from their cash.

Got any links to support this claim? It's delightfully absurd and I absolutely believe it to be true, but this sort of claim needs to be backed up.

Which claim are you looking for, Trump stating he is filing a lawsuit in NJ against Social Media companies or the donations part.  The first one is easy to find since it's all over the news, the second part is based on going to his donation site and seeing the grift first hand.  Both are in combination to his last grift where the majority of the donations goes to his PAC while very little goes to his legal fund.



Republican Senator caught on tape talking about how they will never cooperate with the Dems on almost any bill going forward in an attempt to seed chaos until 2022, when they feel confident in taking back the Senate and ending the Dem cycle 

Of Course Joe Manchin thinks it's all good :/

Any illusion that the Reps care for the country is now out the window 



Nina Turner is killing it in the Ohio polls, the Est Dems are panicking, Est Dem big money and big ads are being thrown at her to bring her down, the Dems are really trying every trick to make sure her socialist agenda to help people never sees the light of day

It's incredible to watch Dems trying to bring down a truly popular Dem so they can maintain the status quo leaving so many struggling people worse off :/      

With this lack of vision the mid terms will go to the Reps



GOP lawmakers in Montana and Alabama pass laws outlawing discrimination against anti-vaxxers, others following suit.

Alabama, the state that nearly elected a pedophile Congressman (!) not too long ago now wants to do everything in their power to keep the fucking virus alive and rampant. And unsurprisingly, other red states are following suit. Their hypocrisy and Tomfoolery knows no bounds. God bless the Colorado baker for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, but God forbid we let businesses protect their workforce and customers!

If the stupid people making stupid decisions only affected the stupid people, I'd say let 'em knock themselves out (which they literally are), but that's just not the case. I'm trying, but I'm finding it REALLY hard to feel bad for these idiots.

Hmm, very interesting.  This is going to be a lot of trouble if someone contracts CORVID within a business, University or Hospital after this law and dies.  I can see the lawyers now preparing for the in rush of people who will be looking to litigate.  I also wonder if this law also applies to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.  Can you think of the trauma of one unvaccinated healthcare worker taking out a floor.  Oh yeah, things are about to get very interesting.  They better tack on a law that you cannot sue as well because they are opening up a can of whoopass.

Pretty much how politics work.  Looking at the ads of course they cannot lie and she did make those statements.  Also with any ads, context will always be left out but she did give her opponents ammunition.  So the party wants a more centrist then a progressive.  Not sure why this would be incredible, there are multiple Dems going for that seat and the party is aligned with someone who is not as far left.  If she truly has the grit then she should be able to overcome these basic tactics.  At the end of the day, if Ohio is really ready for someone as progressive as her, then such tactics will mean nothing.  Since I live in Ohio, she needs to show me that she knows how to work with both parties.  If she is the all or nothing Progressive then she probably will not get my vote.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia covered this tactic :D

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Lol, right on point.  Context is king especially in smear campaigns.  Its not what you say its usually what you do not say that form the narrative.  Interesting enough, I personally could care less what she thinks about Biden.  I am more concerned about how she thinks and what she can bring.  My main concern is with any Progressive.  Find out what you can accomplish and move to make it happen.  To much pie in the sky policy that has no chance of getting through your own party let alone the GOP just not going to cut it.  Get something done even if its not everything you want then build on that.

It's more about the intensity of support against the popular Nina by the Est Dems and what this says about the Est Dems

Progressive ideas are hugely popular amongst voters, much of the reason Nina is doing incredibly well 

The Dems will need that grassroots support in the midterms with ideas that inspire voters, if they aggressively fight against popular ideas like M4A to keep the failing status quo it will most likely end in failure for them come the midterms 2022, then potentially many more decades of nothing changing for struggling people, the Est Dems politics of compromise have achieved little in decades, Nina gives people hope this may change, she inspires people to think big and they are supporting her, looks bad the Est Dems are fighting her so hard to keep things the same   

The Est Dems are cutting off their nose to spite their face as the saying goes
