Trump says he will send an ‘Election Integrity Army’ into every state for midterms

He just assumes that both sides are rigged, and whoever rigs it best is the winner. That's why he was so pissed in 2020. He knows it was rigged, but so many voted against him that it invalidated whatever he did. He was more successful at rigging the 2024 election.

He's going to rig 2028, too. Don't be surprised if the smoke clears, and he gets more votes than the other candidates, so he has no choice but to honor the will of the people over the Constitution, and remain in office.

That's just the Free Market working like it's supposed to. That company's policies were so egregious that they eventually spawned a customer angry enough to do something about it. As a result, health insurance companies eased up on their restrictions for a time. That's a perfect example of the Free market working the way it's supposed to, and applying self-regulation

The only problem was that it wore off, and the companies went back to their same egregious policies. That just confirms that we need to Luigi CEOs on a regular basis, until they decide that the extra bit of profit isn't worth it.

They also got rid of state financial obligations that Cuomo had stuck on the city, and cleaned up corruption from past administrations. Those were significant savings, too.

The point is that governments can be substantially improved with even a little actual reform and not duplicitous reform like DOGE. We can have change, it just takes voting in responsible, ethical government managers, not carnival barkers.

The artist literally upsold them for no other reason than money, and then bragged about gouging them over making it shiny. There was also something about him holding the statue until they paid in full, before delivering it. He knows what's up with these losers.

This is 2026

What people aren't realizing is that MAGA may well have screwed themselves worse, especially in such a hostile political environment as this one.

Before all this redistricting, it was going to be a bloodbath, not just because EVERY Dems is going to vote against MAGA, but a lot of Republicans are as well. Even more aren't going to vote at all.

None of that has changed. In fact, the dishonest gerrymandering is going to make many people even angrier and more determined. They can gerrymander all they want, but the votes don't go away.

Take Tennessee, for example, in which they eliminated the single Democratic district - but they didn't get rid of the votes. They just spread them across 3 other strong Republican districts, weakening them badly. In a normal year, it might not be anything to worry about, but in a year in which the waters are flowing hard AGAINST the Traitors, it could easily lead to 3 districts going Blue, instead of just one.

Always remember this one important axiom of MAGA: they are profoundly ignorant, and virtuosically incompetent. They fuck up literally everything they contact, and they will fuck this up, too. The real problem is that we have to have leaders that will pounce on those inevitable mistakes, and exploit the shit out of them. We can't be polite, and say "Oh, MAGA stumbled, let's help them back up," we have to kick them when they are down, then drop a giant rock on their head.
