Ha ha the donks are so retarded. ALL they had to do in Mich was nominate Haley Stevens, and Stabinow’s seat stays blue. Yeah, 2024 Trump won Mich by <80k votes, and Mike Rogers is a good conk candidate (lost to Slotkin by <20k votes, about 0.35%), but this a typical midterm election. Right now on the generics it’s about donk +6 to +7.

With Stevens v Rogers would highly likely stay blue. But now by nominating the Michigan Muslim Commie Mamdami, the donks have turned Michigan into a tossup, and at a minimum will have to spend tens of millions of $$$$ more to defend it that they wouldn’t have had to spend with Stevens, money that now won’t be available to the states they are trying to flip. And if the donks don’t hold Mich, they have ZERO pathway to taking the senate.

Christo-fascist Andy Ogles falls victim to Tennessee Republican redistricting and loses his primary despite trump's endorsement ...

GOP Rep. Andy Ogles ousted in Tennessee primary
Former Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher won the GOP primary for the 5th District after outraising Ogles, receiving a late endorsement from GOP Gov. Bill Lee and seeing a flood of outside money on his behalf from a renewable energy super PAC.

Ultimately, that spending, coupled with a newly redrawn district that forced Ogles to reach new voters, helped end his reelection bid. Ogles has also faced a number of controversies since he was first elected in 2022.

He deleted a homophobic social media post that was denounced by members of his own party in June, and he drew severe backlash for another post in which he said “Muslims don’t belong in American society.” In 2024, the FBI searched Ogles’ phone during an investigation into campaign finance records, which came after a watchdog group filed an ethics complaint into his use of campaign funds. And in 2023, he faced scrutiny for false claims about his resume.

Ogles’ loss makes him the second Trump-endorsed candidate to lose a primary this week, after a Michigan House candidate who had the president’s backing fell to a challenger who had already dropped out.

Susan Collins is back to her old tricks. Voters should see right through them.
To understand Collins' attempt to brand herself as an anti-Blanche warrior for public integrity, look no further than the latest Maine Senate polling. A recent University of New Hampshire poll found Collins trailing her Democratic challenger Troy Jackson 49-46, with a majority of voters disapproving of Collins' job performance. Despite positioning herself as a check on Trump's corruption, public voting data reveals she supported the MAGA agenda nearly 95% of the time. No wonder Trump endorsed Collins last month.

Collins' opposition to Blanche's confirmation offers her the chance to look like she's taking a stand against a president who lost her state in all three of his presidential campaigns, without requiring any meaningful actions to back it up. Blanche is just one vote short of confirmation after Utah Sen. John Curtis announced his approval Tuesday. On Friday morning Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced her opposition, but Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy can still provide the deciding vote and render Collins' protest moot.

Susan Collins Held Fundraiser With Right-Wing Extremists, MAGA Mega-Donors
Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine was the beneficiary of a fundraiser hosted by MAGA extremists in July, despite attempting to portray a moderate image to her constituents.

On July 24, 2026, a fundraiser event was held for Collins with Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton listed as a "Special Guest" that was hosted by key Trump-backers Dr. John and Jennifer Wahlig, and co-hosted by 35 people, including MAGA donors Peter Anastos, Joe Bruno, and Margaret Fenderson.

So you’re familiar with the writer?

It’s not exactly difficult to label any MAGA member an extremist. If you recognize what they’ve supported.

Which of his words, within context, are “so maga” or suggest he’s a far right extremist?

Not a fan of Clinton at all. He and Hillary are neoliberals and quite frankly have perpetuated corporatism. I understand why the DCCC was formed from a competitive standpoint but it ended up further entrenching power and wealth.

You know what they say about opinions.

What Cotton and other conks there have supported doesn’t seem extreme to me, a large chunk of the country, and at least a majority of Arkansans. But the horrors, Collin’s held a fund raiser with him.

This lying Muslim POS wants to
-get rid of 2A.
-get rid of fireworks.
-defund the police.

Of course as soon as he runs for office he tries to scrub those videos, claiming he really didn’t mean it. ‘I really didn’t mean those past comments I said online now that I’m running for office‘ seems to be a new phenomenon for donks, especially the DSA ones, that they donks didn‘t suffer from back in the day.

So? Mamdami doesn't seem extreme to a large chunk of the country and at least a majority of New Yorkers but that doesn't stop trump and maQa from trying to label him and people similar to him as extremists.

Democratic socialism is no more extreme then project 2025 and sharia law isn't that different from the Christo-fascism preached by doug wilson and his ilk.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones and trump and maQa are living in massive glass houses.

Lawl wake me up when Christian fundies make women wear a black sheet covering all but their eyes, while stripping them of rights while treating them as 2nd class citizens, stone apostates to death, and throw gays off buildings. Christianity was like that- back in the Stone Age. Then it evolved. Maybe Islam will catch up in the next 500-1000 years.

Or maybe Christianity will go backwards like many seem to want it to do. We have people with influence advocating for that kind of misogynistic crap now. Just listen to doug wilson and whackos like him.

During the Dark Ages, Islam provided the light and protected knowledge.

You support misogynistic thumpers, you are complicit.
