As a Cassandra, I’m accustomed to having my accurate and timely predictions ignored. Whatever. Trust me on this: between now and the end of August, Mango Mussolini will suffer a politically disabling medical or psychological setback, fueled by his unabated white-hot rage at being played by President Biden. The GOP, already in disarray, will spiral into complete chaos as they struggle to find a new candidate. It won’t be JD Vance. He’ll be writing a campaign tell-all book. #Politics
As a Cassandra, I am accustomed to having my accurate and timely predictions ignored. Today, I foresee that, between now and the end of August, Mango Mussolini will suffer a politically disabling medical or psychological setback, fueled by his unabated white-hot rage at being played by President Biden. The Republican Party, already in disarray, will spiral into complete chaos as they struggle to find a new candidate. It won’t be JD Vance. He’ll be writing his campaign tell-all book. #Politics
There was a pretender named Vance
Quite late to the GOP dance
A “never Trump” creep
Now Trump’s boneheaded veep
Against Harris, they stand no chance!
Whatever happens in the veepstakes, let’s be sure that we provide Kamala with a BLUE House and Senate! #Politics
If Biden’s decision not to run causes you to declare that you’re “done” with politics and willing to let a would-be dictator destroy our democracy, let me ask you this question: would you feel the same way if he had DIED in office? #Politics

Advice needed. Some of my Democrat friends are freaking out, doomscrolling, begging me to talk them off the ledge. I deal with my anxiety by volunteering with our local Dem party writing position papers and letters to the editor, funding and writing postcards to voters, providing environmental advice to our candidates, and making a monthly financial contribution. I’m as aggrieved as the anyone with the national Dems but I’m SICK of complainers who won’t take ACTION. Suggestions? #Politics
The manufacturer of these MAGA Republican moral compasses is now adding a second shift to fill orders from Democrats. I did not see that coming. #Politics
Most of my friends know that I volunteer with my county Democratic Party. Nevertheless, EVERY TIME they get some bad news - like today’s dismissal of Trump’s classified documents case - they literally tell me to “talk them off the ledge” as they panic over a second Trump term. Frankly, I’m sick of it. If they don’t want to volunteer, they can donate to candidates up and down the ballot. Action is our ONLY recourse. I’m as aggrieved as anyone but freaking out is not the answer. #Politics
Welp, one more local business has joined my “nope, nope, never” list. It’s the kitchen supply store. Two female employees were going on and on about how unfairly Trump had been treated in his legal cases and how corrupt the judges were. If you work in a business that I patronize and you hold such contemptible views, that’s fine. If you’re brazen enough to talk openly about #Politics (especially MAGA politics), we’re FINISHED. I’ll drop a line to the owner; no point in arguing with these idiots.
Listening to media talk about creating a safe “perimeter” around the Milwaukee Republican Convention makes me wonder: what if the enemy is WITHIN the perimeter? You know: like the insurrectionists still working in America’s Capitol? #Politics
Other than the violence, what’s functionally the difference between a handful of MAGA Republicans trying to overthrow the will of the voters on #January6th and a handful of “Democrats” trying to overthrow the will of millions of primary voters now? No. Seriously? We’re told to go out and vote in numbers too large to manipulate, we do so, and then we’re expected to sit by idly and accept the decision of folks who may well be getting their marching orders from our enemies. #Politics
Thanks, media scavengers trying to drag down President Biden and feast on his carcass. Thanks to you, I’ve stopped watching your alleged “news” channels and I am learning a lot watching science, history, and travel documentaries. My mood and blood pressure are vastly improved! #Politics
If I didn’t know better (and I don’t), I’d think that these Biden-backstabbing Democrats in the House and Senate are perfectly FINE with losing the White House to Donald Trump just as long as they keep THEIR jobs. #Politics
Whatever your thoughts on President Biden’s future, I hope that you’d agree that this slow rolling assault by Democratic colleagues and the slobbering hyenas in the media who have wanted to destroy him for years has NO PLACE in our electoral discourse. I never thought I’d say this but please: bring back the smoke-filled rooms and the party leadership making a decision, announcing it, and letting the chips fall where they may. We’re weakening our Democracy with every further attack. #Politics
One can only imagine the extent of delusion and self loathing of Mango Mussolini’s “followers” as they wait in life-threatening heat and humidity for his rally to begin. Meanwhile, he’s laughing at them from his air conditioned castle. #Politics
If #Project2025 plans to eliminate Social Security and Medicare don’t concern you because you’re young and healthy, consider this. How could you ever buy a home, pay off student debt, start a business, raise a family, put your kids through college, pursue your hobbies, or save for retirement if your parents - and in-laws - depended on YOU for their living expenses and medical care? That’s the “vision” the GOP has for you: a return to crushing intergenerational poverty. #Politics #VoteBlue
Human weathervane Nikki Haley hopes she can scrub social media of everything she said about Mango Mussolini. Good luck with that. #Politics
