“Some on Capitol Hill suggested that President Donald Trump was already feeling the impact of being a political "lame duck."”
Trump is beginning to flail. And Trump will increasingly become unhinged as the mid-term elections approach. Trump is already blaming scapegoats for his failures. Is that continuation of the previous President's policies?
Scoop: Dems eye ranked-choice voting for primaries

Democrats cannot resist trying any new gimmick to rig elections. What price victory when public trust in the integrity of elections is undermined? A 'win is a win' seems to be vain justification. Ranked-choice voting only provides a guaranteed majority for popular vote elections. But ranked...

“Democrats also have to shed the last vestiges of woke.”
James Carville is older than Donald Trump by a couple of years. We're still stuck in the politics of the 1990s. Carville's advice might be pertinent for a Clinton rerun but can it be trusted to appeal to Millennials and Gen Z?

“The president has said that with "smart people," his ratings have "gone way up."”
We're still stuck with Biden's inflation, job cuts and layouts are piling up, and Trump is threatening to repeat Biden's mistake that created the mess. The pain felt by the government shutdown was broader and deeper than the TEA Party Republicans expected. And Trump is wasting time entertaining...
GOP strategist joins congressman's warning of impending mass resignations

Trump has abandoned MAGA to appease TEA Party Republicans. The grassroots MAGA movement and the TEA Party movement have very little in common. MAGA and TEA Party don't even agree on causes and fixes for runaway government spending. If the Republican Party is going to backslide into TEA...

“We are in the middle of the capitalistic order reinventing itself.”
Neoliberal monetarism is not capitalism. Banks and Wall Street are not a substitute for factories. Our current economy excels at creating fiat money using monetary controls that depend upon inflation. The public policy imperative of protecting financial gains has proven to be best suited for...
Crockett on Greene’s resignation: ‘You’ve got to be kidding me’

“Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Sunday she was surprised by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announcing her resignation over the weekend.”
What's the point of sticking around? Trump is clearly abandoning MAGA. Congress is a corrupt institution owned by the elites. The courts have been corrupted by elites packing and stacking politicians acting as judges. When it's time to walk away, don't look back.

There has been a lot of confusion (obfuscation?) over what MAGA is and is not. I engaged ChatGPT to explore what MAGA really is and how MAGA compares to the TEA Party movement and the Democratic Party. The ChatGPT session is very long so only a summary is presented here. (The summary is fairly...
Democrats Still Have No Idea What Went Wrong

“The party's progressives seem to think the problem is not with their platform but with voters.”
Minority rule is not democracy. IMO that is the real reason the Democratic Party has become so out of touch with so much of the electorate. Democrats' have adopted a strategy of running on a number of single issue platforms while promising to give power to minority positions. That hasn't...
