100%. Trump is going to do everything in his power to make life in NYC hell, and with help from the right wing media he’ll pin it on Mamdani. As you can see from today’s New York Post cover, they’re already laying the foundation.

He had put out a call a few weeks ago for a kidney donor. That was the first I learned of his sickness. As a long time Pats fan, I saw a lot of him during his playing career and was moved by the news. I started exploring the kidney donation process, since I appeared to meet his criteria. I set things aside a week or so ago, and then yesterday saw this news.😢

We should be passing bills that make President Trump’s executive orders permanent.

It’s not like she suddenly woke up sane or anything.

That’s my fear. The district Dems will decide that they want a more reliable Democrat in the primary, and their candidate will get crushed in the general election in this conservative district.

The only reason he’s in office right now is because he convinced Trump voters to also vote for him. To win in Maine’s 2nd, a candidate will need to do that. I’m incredibly skeptical that his primary challenger is going to have much success with that.

Committee control is the big reason. Even if he’s not the most reliable vote, the Dems get to control the House agenda if they have the majority. And it’s not like he’s 100% Republican with his voting record, either.

In fairness to Golden, he’s one of very few Dem reps to win in a Trump district, and Maine’s 2nd is very much a Trump district. He can only win by attracting some Trump voters. He does this by aligning with them on gun control (or lack thereof) and some social issues.

As to Golden being a DINO, he still counts toward a Dem majority in the House, and that’s super important.

If Golden loses the primary, the Dem candidate is going to have a very hard time winning the general. And then we’re looking at mini-Trump, former Maine governor and Florida resident Paul LePage, getting elected.

Yeah, people have been saying this kind of thing for almost 10 years now. It’s wishful thinking.

I ride my bicycle. The cyclical nature of the movement is meditative, and I have the freedom to ride as long as it takes to get my headspace cleared up.

Holy shit

That’s kinda the point

Secret Aardvark habanero sauce is so, so good. I’ll put it on just about anything. It’s by no means the hottest sauce out there, but I’ll put its flavor up against any other sauce. I buy this stuff by the case at this point.
