Trump responds to midterm rout, says he's 'willing to work' with Democrats
What does it look like for a president to morph into a lame duck in real time? Look no further than Donald Trump’s Truth Social account on election night, where the portrait of an angry man coming to terms with his diminished standing in the world emerges.
Tiger Pournelle, Furious Irish🏳️🌈4And here we have what modern journalism has degraded into. Huge, historic win last night? Let's go examine his social media feed. This is what our Media has been doing to us for years now, reprinting tweets and calling it investigation.
Just me🌀🕊️3Let’s NOT check on him! lol
.1Hopefully he has nothing but the best strokes.
goodieone.bsky.social1A scary lame duck! The NDAA hasn't been signed yet the merging of US & IDF to share intelligence and the US pays for it all its set to be signed December 11th the new congress and senate don't get sworn in until January he still has the keys will the remaining republicans defy him or sign
mikeeoj.bsky.social1We need to find courageous Republicans to help the Democratic majority fix America. That is the next hurdle.
BreeDanielsWins1I think you're spot on about referring people to Trump's Truth Social, as much as we might want to avoid it. The silence is deafening. It's overwhelmingly telling because of his normal gut-spilling tendencies. I want to ask, did someone give him lithium? Is he tied down so he won't harm himself?
ICYMI: Democrats have gained control of Congress, flipping Republican strongholds in a historic victory which marks a decisive repudiation of President Donald Trump’s second term.
WIRED33In Michigan, the progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed was elected to the Senate. El-Sayed, a physician, has won in the state that was ground zero for this summer’s major national public health crises—the cyclosporiasis epidemic and air pollution from wildfires in Canada.
Nancy M3Can’t help noticing that most of the GOP states that flipped to Dem are the ones Canada targeted with retaliatory tariffs designated to inflict pain on their key industries . But I’m sure that’s just a coincidence…
Starr1okay now that we have a majority they’re gonna impeach Trump, right? since before their excuse was, they didn’t have the votes…?
"For years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media and voters at large, that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump." --Marco Rubio (March, 2016)
Thomas L, PhD4Show us the way,Marco. It's time for true confessions.
ChrisCatMom🐈📎3Marco still thinks he has a chance at being president… How many Hispanics will vote for this monster that was part of a regime that kidnapped & imprisoned & then deported their families?
Vamos Heavenly Creature🇺🇦2Mr. Rubio? What do you have to say for yourself?
President Donald Trump’s election night watch party at the White House turned into a ghost town as Democrats swept to power in Congress, according to a new report.
Chris⚖️Justice4😂🤣 What a great day
resistance1955.bsky.social1Per the story: "The official White House line described the mood as “somewhat defiant.”" The only "defiance" demonstrated in the room that night was the Cheesecake factory food that (allegedly) refused to be eaten.
Rick H1The best part of the whole story is that the win by the Democrats was so overwhelming that Trump is going to look like a desperate loser if he challenges any of the election results. His DOJ will challenge though because Trump doesn't want to look like a loser.
Democrats were celebrating a seismic triumph in the midterm elections, winning control of the Senate and the House as voters delivered a blistering rebuke to President Trump and reset the balance of power in Washington. Get the latest results and analysis: nyti.ms/47ZqBpr
manitoban1We know your 1st plan is to investigate these grifters, but perhaps you could first close every legal loophole that allowed that narcissist & DoJ to be unchecked & blatantly break laws. #trump #democrats #senate #elections
LEXO AI1Les Démocrates remportent une victoire majeure aux midterms, redonnant le contrôle du Congrès. On verra comment cela influencera les législations à venir.
The Dandelorean1This is an impeachment mandate.
big question: where does the republican party go from here? i think they're kind of fucked, because they can't win with trump, but also *i thought* trump has got the hard core base on lock. but here's webbon: "Donald J. Trump lost [the election] by being a fool. He put Israel over America."
Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li76obviously webboon is just some twitter influencer nutjob, but i think when twitter influencer nutjobs are starting to go after trump personally, and not just do some "good tsar bad boyars" dance, then there are REAL cracks showing
wahusk.bsky.social1I hope this pessimism re MAGA is well-founded. The cretinous attitudes which drove it - and drive it still - have not vanished into thin air. We must be ever vigilant about the millions among us who simply aren’t very bright - or nice - people.
Donald Trump was so angry at his breathtaking midterm defeat that he holed himself up in the dark with his ever-present aide, Natalie Harp, as the results rolled in.
bizarreman.bsky.social2Maybe telling people that if the Democrats win there will be all sorts of investigations and impeachments wasn't the right thing to say?
VomitRadio1Melania wasn't there so he needed Natalie to soothe his rage boner.🤮
SpudRazor1Look. I appreciate the update, I do. And I understand you want people to click. But the images your word choices have put into my head are just not ok.
we all should celebrate and recognize today all the hard work that went into this campaign -- and the great promise embodied in so many new elected officials but I think it's important too to recognize just how fortunate we are that the Trump administration proved so incompetent over the past 2 yrs
Paul "Bismillah c'est les ténèbres" Cohen12in January 2025, Trump had a wide-open path to regime consolidation before him, largely free of obstacles a bowed and cowed Democratic party; a Court eager to stamp an overmighty unitary executive with its imprimatur; universities, law firms, and large corporations tripping over each other ...
Doug McCrae1Yeah, Trump has authoritarian instincts and aims but he's far less capable than Putin or Orban. America, and the world, got lucky.
As within, so without 1We gotta take Goliath's head in January. Re-construct our government for ALL the people, no just the oligarchs!
Aparna Nair1Regrettably, efficient or not, the harm done to global health in those two short years is not going to be easily undone
