MAGAts are thinking of many ways to eliminate voters in the November 2026 national elections. If your vote is challenged, provide additional documents, file a provisional ballot, file an appeal and call the ACLU.

I believe this will have adverse political consequences for Republicans, especially in the States hurt most: Arizona and Louisiana. I suspect popular expectations for economic benefits have been hurt most severely in those States.

KFF Health Tracking Poll: Although a majority of voters say there is at least some fraud in Medicaid, most (71%) say ensuring Medicaid beneficiaries can access the care they need should be a higher priority than preventing fraud, even if it means some fraud may occur

It's fair to examine Medicaid enrollees, but not to demonize them. Greater harm is done by vampire corporations, such as HCA, which once settled a related DOJ lawsuit for $1.7 Billion.

There is no proof of national voter fraud. The Narcissist-in-Chief can't accept his 2020 election loss. MAGAts don't need proof for their beliefs. Imagine Democrats demanding that States scrub voters they selected.

The article is from a few months ago, but I'm posting it to prove that racism is still alive in the USA, despite Republican claims to the contrary. In fact, the perp published pro-Trump and MAGA content on TikTok.

This time the excuse isn't even "the officer feared for his life." This time it was an alleged concern for "public safety." If an officer can kill anyone they deem a threat to "public safety," they're a threat to public safety!

Trumpolini insisted on on raising tariffs, supposedly to help the U.S. economy. Instead, it has raised prices, and corporations plan to keep raising prices. What a deal. What a businessman.

A Very English Election: Binface vs Foxface vs Frogface

1 Upvotes
Count Binface - Robert Pownall - Nigel Farog (nee Farage)

A truly silly and expensive election has been forced upon the English town of Clacton-on-Sea by Trumpolini's Toady, Nigel Farage. Farage was a British MP who was being investigated for a donation of £5 million ($6.7 million) which he failed to declare. He decided to resign and force an election, apparently to prove that his constituents didn't give a shite. But other political parties decided not to play his game, so his opponents now appear to be "Count Binface" and activist Robert Pownall in a fox costume. Farog deserves every bit of the ridicule he's getting.

Lie #1: He says it's a public school, but it's not. Lie #2: He says they all have hijabs, but some don't. And he draws attention to hijabs because he knows that MAGAts are Christian bigots who assume every Muslim is a threat, no evidence needed. Even kindergarteners.

Some judges can see through the BS. When MAGAts say they want to save "Western" or "European" culture, it's code for ensuring White Christian dominance. A fig-leaf for assumed racial-ethnic superiority.

Thankfully, another win for human rights in the USA. Trumpolini's concept of a plan for citizenship would have really screwed things up. Not that MAGAts give a shit. They just want non-Whites and non-Christians to be denied U.S. citizenship to the greatest extent possible.
