Tom Emmer: I like our chances in the midterms because of what Trump did w/ the economy. You're gonna see a real impact.

Emmer: "It's gonna be about the economy. And what Republicans did w/ Donald Trump's leadership is causing billions of dollars to be invested in our economy right now, and you're gonna see that start to have a real impact toward the end of the summer & early fall. I like our chances in the midterms."

Emmer is the successor to Michele Bachmann in MN CD6: QED. For years there was a persistent rumor about the so-called "Stearns County Syndrome," a condition said to be characterized by developmental disabilities and brought about by decades of inbreeding in that part of Minnesota, which includes CD6. It was studied and thoroughly debunked quite awhile ago, but now I'm beginning to wonder. Or maybe it only affects CD6 Congresscritters.

trump lies and projects his own cheating onto Democrats which makes it hard for us to state the obvious. We can't call republicans out for legitimate cheating because he falsely accused us of cheating first.

Just my opinion, of course.

Who starts a preemptive war with a country that does not pose a threat to us without congressional approval during an election year?

The whole "POLICY AGENDA" in Texas right now is "He don' even eat MEAT! YOU tell ME what kind o' TEXAN don' eat MEAT! I'll tell ya what, he ain't one of US!"

So we'll be back to household pets being eaten and / or sodomized and wonderful little Republican kids being groomed into fabulous drag queens by Democrats who eat babies.

It's already happening. Even on Bluesky, where people are largely re-posting Republican bullshit. I don't even want to THINK about what Musk's Twitter looks like these days.
