The investigation into Newsom was commenced by Merrick Garland during the Biden administration.So you're saying the guy who rightly directed the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago to recover classified US government documents after giving Trump 18 months to comply also investigated and prosecuted Democrats? Next you'll tell me Biden's DOJ wasn't targeting Republicans for political purposes.Not buying it counselor.

July 5Jul 5 Recently, there have been several leading Dem profiles, e.g. Shapiro, Schiff, calling for packing SCOTUS. I've also noticed several of the YouTube types starting to push this hard. I'm not talking about the far left type YT channels but rather some of the NeverTrump channels and more moderate anti-Trump channels. I understand the concept but I think it is a terrible idea long term. No doubt, some or many of you want to pack the court. Something we will absolutely be discussing in the lead up to '28 as it seems fairly certain at this point that the Dems will run on it.

July 7Jul 7 It’s been a tough week and a half for Democrats. Foreign visitors are loving the USA, Iran is licking its wounds, gas prices are falling, the stock market is setting records, and America celebrated its 250 year of Independence in grand fashion, all while the Democrat Party loses control of their party to far left Socialists/Communists. I’m liking the trend heading into the Midterms.

July 7Jul 7 Author Platner looks like he's being dumped from the Maine race against Susan Collins. Very convenient that this story breaks just in time for him to resign before the July 13 deadline. It's very hard to believe he wasn't properly vetted earlier. Seems to be more than a coincidence that this coincides with recent polls in his race against Collins where he loses.

You need to get on the same page with the other rhetards.

July 7Jul 7 FWIW - Maine Dems are saying they will not have the party simply pick someone. Talking about a caucus or a pop-up convention. Will see if they can really pull either of those off so quickly, assuming Platner drops out.https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/us/politics/who-would-replace-graham-platner-maine.htmlGraham Platner can be replaced as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine if he withdraws from the race by next Monday, and state law would then give the state Democratic Party until July 27 to name a replacement.Maine Democrats would be in uncharted terrain if Mr. Platner does exit the contest after a Politico report that he sexually assaulted a woman he had dated. He denied the allegation but said he was taking time to "reflect” on his political path forward.Maine law does not dictate what process the state Democratic Party would use to replace Mr. Platner should he step aside, according to Kate McBrien, the chief of staff to Shenna Bellows, Maine’s secretary of state.The chairman of the Maine Democratic Party, Charles Dingman, and other Maine Democratic Party leaders posted a statement on social media calling on Mr. Platner to quit the race. Mr. Dingman did not immediately respond to messages on Monday afternoon.Top Maine Democratic Party officials have discussed possible plans to replace Mr. Platner on the ballot, with options including a pop-up convention on the weekend of July 25 to choose a nominee, or holding a statewide caucus to effectively redo the party’s primary election, according to two people who have talked with the officials and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal party conversations.Officials have ruled out having the state party’s committee, which includes about 100 members, choose the nominee, the people said.Mr. Platner won Maine’s Democratic primary for Senate last month after his top rival, Gov. Janet Mills, suspended her campaign weeks earlier, citing poor fund-raising. Ms. McBrien said she was unaware of any precedent in which a Maine candidate had won their primary and then withdrawn before the general election.Should Mr. Platner withdraw by next Monday, the leading candidates to replace him could potentially include the Democrats who ran for governor and did not win the primary.They include Ms. Bellows, Troy Jackson, a former president of the Maine Senate, and Nirav Shah, a former director of Maine’s public health agency. Jordan Wood, who lost a primary for a House district covering northern Maine, is also a potential candidate.Ms. Mills is seen as less likely to be selected. She did not respond to messages on Monday.

It's a big ask, but it puts to bed the party bosses in smokey rooms argument. I'm hoping the Grey's Anatomy dude steps in. Doesn't have to worry about name recognition and it's about time famous Dems started pulling their weight.

He's pretty nutty, so who knows if he tries to stay in the race.
