Well, let's hope so...

I think as much as many middle of the road Republicans don't necessarily care for the priorities of the Democratic Party, I think Project 2025 and the plans to completely dismantle the government and move us solidly into a more Authoritarian type setup scares the hell out of them as much as it does anyone on the left. That was crafted specifically with someone too self-centered and dim-witted as Trump in mind, who would blindly go along with it if his ego was stroked enough in the process. The most radical fringes of the far right in the US have latched onto Trump's coattails as he commands his cult following, hoping to seize power through him. Hopefully there are still enough sane people to prevent something like that from happening.

Japan says a Chinese military intelligence gathering aircraft entered its territorial airspace off remote islands in the East China Sea on Monday, the first time Tokyo has accused the People’s Liberation Army Air Force of an airspace violation and a new irritant in frosty relations between China and Japan.

The NSA would NEVER allow the U.S. of A. to "spy" on any unsuspecting nations...

Kamala Harris is not tough enough on China.
Donald Trump is not tough enough on China.

How does Elon Musk electric vehicles satisfy Donald Trump global warming hoax?

The only thing of Musk’s that Trump has any care or concern about is Musk’s bank account.

 

[HarpoSF]

The vile and odious and abhorrent and (let's not forget, multiple) felonious Trumpfinator is just jealous that Elongated Muskrat (unlike himself) is actually a Billionaire.

Yes, several Chinese fast-food chains are launching in the United States, including Bingz and Tastien:
Bingz

• This popular chain is known for its crispy burgers and has plans to open 10 restaurants in California by the end of 2025. Bingz is building a central factory in San Diego to serve North America.
• 
  
• JD Vance please stop this Chinese invasion of fast food.

Tim Walz lands in Long Beach, California. There's a lot of crime in the Los Angeles region. I realize that the George Floyd riots originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What has he done lately about crime?

Walz looks like Don Rickles.

A radical climate protest group called Climate Defiance endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, citing their belief that she will be able to be pressured on energy policy.
