They’re all distractions to take attention away from The Epstein Files.
I’m surprised they aren’t selling “Lets Start a War with Venezuela” T-shirts.
Hey, don’t give anyone any ideas!
On the Daily Kos Comics page today:
From tonight’s Meidas “Today in Politics: November 6, 2025.” DNC Chair Ken Martin: “Think about the 13 seats that we won in the VA House. 7 of those 313 seats that we won haven’t been won by a Democrat in 40 years. This is how deep and wide Tuesday’s victory was. What happened throughout the country was a landslide for Democrats. The foot is on the gas, no brakes. We’re doing this all the way through November of 2028.”
I get around. This summer and fall I have driven through a lot of the reddest areas of the northern Rocky Mountain and Great Plains states and the Trumpiest parts of the inland northwest. North Dakota, Montana the hard way, Idaho, eastern Oregon and Washington. This time last year, the Trump signs and banners, the MAGA hats and bumper stickers, were everywhere. After the 2016 election, the signs stayed up. This time? Crickets.
In August, my brother and I drove from North Dakota across rural Montana and north Idaho on State Highway 200. We saw five or six Trump signs the whole 700 miles. This fall we did a repeat of last year’s elk hunt in the Wallowa Mts of eastern Oregon. I can’t say I saw a single Trump sign this year. Last year, before the election, the signs and banners flags and stickers and red hats were everywhere; this year, crickets again. We had breakfast in the Cheyenne Cafe in Joseph (good food!) and didn’t hear a WORD spoken in the place about politics or how great Trump was doing. It’s like people have made up their own minds but are afraid to express themselves, afraid of their friends and neighbors. Nobody is talking, but they have all taken down their yard signs.
Trump and his henchmen/women have lost their base, a lot of it.
We had a guy nearby who house was festooned with all sots of Trump signs. It was a landmark. Now he has nothing out there. I’ve noticed that a lot of ostentatious Trump signs are gone. A few remain – it’s not a clean sweep – but there’s definitely less out there
Maybe oranges are out of season?
( Maybe they arrested and chased away all the workers there were to pick them? )
