every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards

Just for the record, Trump can’t do this. The constitution is very clear that the times, places, and manners of elections for federal office are up to each state, but can be altered by Congress. The president has no role here, except to sign into law or veto a bill that congress passes to do this.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
I think we know why.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
By not actually saying it and saying, specifically, we work with many people on many different policies? No wonder why you would think Lorenz is a great journalist with that level of reading.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
That's not what I said. What did you just say about me telling you what you think?
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
You don't have a point.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
No, I'm explaining the difference between the words to you.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
No, I'm drawing lines in the sand around actually disliking the thing involved. If you don't like the Democrats, you don't have to be one.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
Dislike and dissent are different things. I believe I explained this to you already.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
And of course, what I actually said was that you weren't a Democrat because you seemed to really dislike them.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
And yet, that was not where you choose to write that response, you did so after I pointed out that what Lorenz wrote is not the scandalous affair she seems to think it is.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
Because I think Lorenz sees conspiracies everywhere? That her shit talking affects her work? Because I think she's a shit journalist? That's exclusionary? OK.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
I had to look it up and... yep.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
And get desire to make it so is why she isn't a great journalist.
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
You're right, it isn't scandalous, yet Lorenz seems to think it is.

Great! Then why are you offering defense for people who literally spit on Democrat's?
Rep. Geoff Smith (@missinglynxnh.bsky.social) reply parent
Dissent and dislike are different things. I dissent a lot with the leadership of the NHDP. I don't dislike the NHDP. You don't seem particularly happy to be a Democrat.

Lorenz is ironically a very good example of the thesis that upsets her so much: social media is very bad for many people.

Trump said tonight he is going to issue an executive order purporting to require enforcement of voter ID rules: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u... The president has no such authority to order how elections are conducted.

This is a bit over stated. The judge who resigned, James Bassett, was appointed by a Democrat, but he is a Republican. He ran for congress as a Republican in 1994.

NEW: CNN's now publicly released video analysis shows Israel's 'double-tap' attack on Nasser Hospital was, in fact, actually a triple-tap. They bombed the hospital, and then fired upon the rescue team and journalists with not one but two more shells.

Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what? I’m running for California State Assembly! Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.
