But they’re planning on a free and fair midterm, right? Ooh

This is encouraging, but I remember the crowds, the enthusiasm, & the fundraising advantage Kamala had over Trump in 2024. None of this really matters to me unless ppl overwhelmingly vote for Democrats in 2026. We all have to work to get out the vote!

1/3 of eligible voters- DID NOT vote in 2024. That’s the difference. 75% were young first or second time voters. They were not taught history, they don’t know how to do research. They failed America

Young people are taught to research in school using available tools. They're capable; they're just not willing.

And the other 25% wanted to send a message to Dems.

And Biden repaired enough of the damage Trump had done so that Independents forgot how bad it was and how bad it could be.

700+ people, that’s a hell of a lot of busses.

Republicans suck.

But will they work hard to vote him out?

Americans are waking up to the GOP nightmare we're living through. youtu.be/XT0wpT_62OM

Right on!

He is not n it for the $ He got a $400k tax cut annually forever!

And THAT right there is why they don't stand up to tRump. Disgusting!

This 👆🏼 is the way. The courts won’t save us. The current slate of politicians won’t save us. The only chance is to vote all these dirtbags out.

Walked into a flood of opposition ‼️🙃

He knew it would be a disaster, but at least he was willing to show up. He gets points for that, at least.

Good. They all need to feel the heat.

There's something happening here, but what it is ain't exactly clear.

Step outta line, the Man come and take you away.

So he isn't running for president??? They are there to jeer and mock him?🤔 Cool!!😎

Let me guess they’re all gonna hide more or they’re gonna scream the audience for only rabid supporters You know the kind of livestock that hangs around Mar-a-Lago or is in the White House press pool

He lied, as he planned to do.

Not exactly San Francisco

What do you mean by that? I’m actually impressed.

She means that’s a deep red state reacting that way.. not a liberal den of “evil” like SF.

Well, it is Lincoln, home to largest university in the state, its very blue dot like Omaha, but just not quite as big.

MAGA is the party of Bolshevik Big State, Big Government, and Relentless Wasting and Abuse. Since 20 January 2025, the Musk-Trump admin has overspent $345 billion compared to the same period in 2024 and $389 bn over 2023 [US Treasury, The Hamilton Project].

Wow! So…doge was really…just stealing data…

And this is supposedly the party of small government, fewer regulations and balanced budget... What fools those people are who believed a word they said.

Republican rhetoric has always been far from the truth. They are the party of bad economy and deficits.

And that’s after cutting a bunch of useful stuff like USAID, significant federal jobs, etc.

They’re downright communist in how they “govern.”

Fascists.

No, it's not communists, not even close. It's exactly Bolshevik, aka Leninist: Totalitarian control (even with price control -- remember when Trump barked at Walmart not to "eat the cost of tariffs"?)

You do know Bolshevics and Leninists are all Communists, right? Trump is neither of those things, though. He's on the right-hand side of the whole political circus as in Fascism/Nazism - which is basically the same, very awful thing.

Trump has a “new” system of economic policies. He will use whatever methods he can to enrich himself and stay in power. Whatever it takes, whoever it hurts.

Yes, but I can't see him as a Communists when he leans on Musk - or, at least, did - and is hell bent on give tax cuts to the rich. That is not something Lenin or Mao would approve of whereas Hitler and Mussolini would consider it business as usual.

Communists and Nazis both got to the same destination…dictatorships. It’s just one took a left turn the other a right turn. Stupid to argue about the path. The final destination is what needs to be stopped.

Thank you for calling me stupid ... That's always such a nice touch 🙄 You're also mostly wrong. Yes, they usually both end in dictatorship. There I agree. But the road to that end is very important because they hurt very different kind of people while moving along it.

Having lived through dictatorships same people hurt down both roads. It’s amazing how similar it all is! It’s this life history that Americans lack…guess they are about to get it.

Lenin and Mao were proto-trumps, just used different languages and had less guardrails in place (basically they did the coups d'état thus removed any guardrails and became the totalitarian dictators - that's what Trump is trying to do, and word don't matter).

No, Bolsheviks, Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev never were Communists, they never even wanted Communism, they just said the words. They wanted total power in the Eurasia, that's all they want. They Like Trump: he says he's for law and order, but in reality he's aggressive lawlessness & immorality.

I think the more accurate term would be “Stalinist”

No... Stalin had just followed what Lenin established until he destroyed it and had nothing in place. You either say Leninist or Bolshevik. I am not sure how many Americans can recognise this word. MAGA-Trump is certainly not a capitalist or market mind.

“communist” vs “fascist” At the extremes, definitions get a little blurry. WE = losing individual rights + personal freedoms. STATE = building a giant bureaucracy w/endless paperwork + obscure qualifications, which constantly change so they’re impossible to meet; stripping society of resources.

Lincoln is a very liberal city. One of the reasons I love it here. We are a blue dot 🔵 in a sea of red

Well, they keep voting him back in...

This is what we need yo take our country back from Republican liars, cheats, pedos.

He has a script,given to him and all rep pedos to use at Town halls,or not have one at all, THIS!! To all the Republicans who elected these repukes,THIS is your opportunity to rid yourself of tyranny!!

Testing the waters for his colleagues. He chose the short straw.

This bunch of "republicans" will find themselves as the most reviled in the history of the country.

The giant I waking

He doesn't care about booing. He knows he has enough dummies to reelect him. Because the other dummies sit at home and complain

Like I said people are wise to these politicians now,except the trump cult and they will never change they just don’t have the common sense to figure it out! But the rest of us do. We know how these republicans voted and how it will affect our lives! We don’t want them anymore to represent us

Bring back tar, feathers, rails.

Ben Cline R VA-06 won't have one. Fuggedaboudit

Townhalls seem to be mostly an opportunity to tell GOP representatives that voters are angry they’re letting Drumpf dictate everything and they’re not fighting for their voters Are GOP representatives getting the message? Will they do anything with that info? No, but keep it up 💪🔥🤬

We are ALL AWAKE now!

Man the republicans could be in really big trouble next year.m, if this keeps up.

Too far away. People need to stop relying on the courts, Dems, mid-terms as This criminal regime is disenfranchising voters every single day. There should be millions of us on the streets every fucking day, refusing to be governed or policed by these fucking terrorists.

That is why I said if this keeps up. The thing is, what is happening now isn't going to be what the world looks like a year from now.

👆

Let’s raise a glass to the good people of Nebraska.

youtu.be/1XSQpkJuzLM?...

Good. More

I love this!!

No Biggie #Huskers , just a massive GDP LOSS THANKS TO THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL #MikeFlood kept referencing... nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/07/30/f...

Gutting the USDA is also going to hurt the farmers. Why do farmers keep touching the hot stove? And ultimately loosing their farms to conglomerates?

#RushLimbaugh and generational brain poisoning. It's the only logical thing. Cutting weather science, and innovation in the farming space, killing greenhouse gas emissions awareness, will impact farmers, even CONSERVATIVE ONES the most, when they can't make the food, shits hitting the fan.

Go #Nebraska ♥️

What did he really expect? He was gonna talk down to the people like children and “explain” what they got wrong? How did that work out for him? #epstein

At first I thought “at least he had a town hall meeting”. That was until I heard what he was preaching to the crowd. Lies, lies, lies, all said with a big dose of arrogance on his part.

A sacrificial congressman. Surely these guys know what people think? Are they so completely out of touch or power hungry or insulated by their nutty colleagues?

They are kneeling, with their heads so far up their dom’s ass. Complicit cowards. Choking on it.

considering the abuse he's taking, he's probably one of the people being conned, rather than an actual con man. But he's getting con man benefits, so f him

Righteous anger not abuse!

there is no shame in abusing authoritarians

Oh I agree, I took that the other way. Like you maybe felt for him lol

He will continue to be a spineless simp for Trump because this is a coup d'etat. They don't give a shit about us. Not one iota.

Future democrats

Perfect good trouble!

I’m amazed republicans are doing town halls

well, we don't have enough money for health care research and SNAP benefits for poor children, but we have PLENTY of money to give tax cuts to Rich People. and that's all that matters, right?

‘Flood’ the zone…

Did he have anyone removed or silenced by police lest the be removed, because that's what Rep. Brian Mast did at his townhall. We couldn't even bring small signs.

They’re going to be surprised when constituents show up with the open carry guns they fought so hard to secure for them.

How did George Soros manage to pack that hall? Poor Flood!

Bless his heart.

This post walked into my brain and sat down like it owns the place.

Hahaha, that’s exactly how I experienced it as well Serena!

✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Flood knew what kind of crowd he was walking into and he didn’t care. He delivered the required talking points and giving everyone in the hall the finger. Will they re-elect him?

Collectively, we're learning how to fight back.

And of course, according to the Republicans, all the people in the audience are actors, immigrants, just “bad people”. They’ll all be deported soon. Not to worry. The king has us.

Mike Flood sucks unfortunately he's mine

There’s been a lot of misinformation and Republicans are spreading it.

I hope these people stop voting for idiots w an R after their names. They voted him in. Actions have consequences & all of us are paying for their stupidity.

Do you not understand the "blue dot" phenomenon? I also have all-Republican reps. That's the point of gerrymandering, to dilute blue votes in a sea of rural red. These guys in Lincoln probably voted blue, but the rural plains have been blood red for generations.

Of COURSE I do understand. However, NE has always been RED. I live in a red state; I’m in a metro area, so we are the blue part. States that are RED need to wake TF UP.

Well, "these people" that you called out as idiots are the ones from the blue metro, not the red farmland. They're already awake.

You honestly believe that all those people in that town hall were blue voters? 🤣🤣🤣nope. They played a game and are in the FO stage & hate it!

We all should keep the pressure on every representative that DGAF about his constituents. Only about the party of pedophiles and an Orange Piece of Shit.

Well you gotta give him some credit for taking it on the chin. A lot of cowardly Republicans are hiding from their constituents.

He thinks it will gain him points. And Nebraska? He probably couldn’t escape them if he tried.

This is glorious! So proud of sane America!

The QA starts about 36 minutes in. I’m honestly amazed that these GOP reps don’t prep better for these town halls. Rep. Flood didn’t do his homework 🙄 www.youtube.com/live/zleBod9...

He’s such a smarmy, snarky POS

Flood does know that his party, the Rethuglikkklans, are the ones who human trafficking benefits, right? They are the pedophiles, the perverts, the folks with housemaids chained in the closet? Why doesn't he censor Mike Johnson for refusing to vote on releasing the Epstein files?

They're not smart

Probably thought it'd be enough to scare people with "Communism!".

Young people are getting fucked by capitalism... I don't think these older folks (my age and up) realize that these young folks interact with people who live in socialist countries daily on the internet. Communism and socialism don't scare them when they are seeing how capitalism fucks everyone.

I think they know exactly what they are doing. They get some clips of being drowned out by constituents as they “bravely” stand their ground against “libs paid by Soros to attack them and freedom blah blah blah.” It’s part of their performative schtick.

Hard to do your homework when you wasted your class time shooting the shit with your buddies and giving all the bullies your lunch money.

I don't have time to watch the whole thing. Alligator Auschwitz: good one.

He gets credit for showing up. He wins if he resigns.

Wait until this winter when they cant afford heat, beef or oranges. Ain't gonna be no boos then. Just grim faces, torches, pitchforks and rope.

Rep Mike Flood Town Hall Lincoln, Nebraska Give that constituent his JOB🎯 www.threads.com/@michelestil... . 🔥SHARE🔥

Lincoln, Nebraska knows

Just wait until this bill kicks in. I hope every Democratic Candidate uses it to demonstrate that the GOP doesn’t give shit about their constituents. May not turn everyone blue but…that’s why they are to cheat in Texas. The writing is on the wall

They have to cheat in Texas to keep their republicans in office.. pretty sad but people don’t have to vote for those republicans they will get a choice and it will be the people’s choice not a gerrymandering choice!

He knew. The aristocracy knew. He went to face the rabble in search of sound bites to prove the serfs are as dumb & violent as is commonly assumed. "We hold town halls & look what we have to put up with" in GOP ads.

“We’re not going to put up with that foolish accountability!”

If accountability is what they fear. The same aristocrats get hired & rehired over and over. Replacing last year's prom king with this year's is not accountability. How long has it been New Koch & Koch Classic? The love of nonconfrontational "moderates" and single-issue Voters? Blame the Voters

People lack proper soviet queuing training. This wouldn't qualify as a line for soviet toilet paper, optionally used as an abrasive.

Americans: historically bad at queueing cuz f*ck you.

Narrator: They will re-elect him in 2026.

Sad but true. We try but we’re outnumbered.

🫂

Those folks are NOT young activists. There’s a lot of middle age and elder white folks showing up to call this clown out! More of this please!!!

Lined up to beat his ass

I’m from Nebraska and this is how you do it!! I wish my red district would have the same gumption.

It's just so he can say he had a town hall meeting.

For a brief few moments, the crowd wasn’t thinking about the Epstein files.

The piece of shit won by twenty points you've given him power and oligarch are buying his votes. What now folks. VOTE.

He was sweating bullets 😂

What's the damned point? The Electorate VOTES such cretin in and then BOOs them in a town hall! Why vote for them in the first place?

Republicans could end this TODAY, and it wouldn’t take many…

I was listening to someone on the news today who said the American people are going to get behind the bill. I don’t think so. I feel like republicans are so privileged they don’t understand the average American.

Keep holding their feet to the fire. They work for US and if they won't answer our questions, we VOTE THEM OUT!!!

Excellent. KEEP IT UP, AMERICA!!!!!

The 2026 election better be real! Too many questions unanswered in 2024!

The buzz saw town halls continue. Ya Love to see it.

Good to see fellow Nebraskans standing up! Maybe district 1 can turn blue too if the right candidate comes forward. That would be awesome! At least Mike Flood has town halls unlike coward Don Bacon.

I hope these so called politicians are afraid to go out at night

Right now they are still running back to DC where daddy can protect them. Next year when they all have to come home to campaign is going to some nasty days.

or ever leave their houses

We need every single Republican elected official across the country to be held accountable by the people of their districts exactly the same way! Let them know if you continue your path, your next gig won’t be in politics!

I like it. We need to stop allowing them to gaslight us and call them a liar to their face.

My rep doesn't do town halls. Rep Swalwell came and did one here though.

That is a good strategy for democrats.

I live in the most densely populated county in the state. We have 2 Reps. One of which represents the majority of the county which is over 700k people. That's more than the entire population of WY. We're extremely gerrymandered.

Ann Wagner won’t even have one in St. Louis County. We need a superstar to run against her.

John Moolenaar in Michigan's second won't either. Oh. Excuse me. I exaggerate. He had ONE zoom town hall where everyone was on mute and he chose the questions.

He can't stand up to Trump bc he has no spine. Here's what he looks like without those ugly ass glasses.

Great drawing! Lol

Flood is right about one thing... a lot of misinformation about the bill, but it's coming from his side of the aisle.

And yet I’m sure this was the plan going. Make sure it’s videoed and use it to raise money. I’m sure he’ll call all these people paid Antifa actors.

Is this a big deal? Americans, bitching, will not put food on your tables. 79,000,000 Armerican Arseholes who voted for the GOP are the problem. Focus America; meanwhile, Canada's Bank of Canada Governor says American Tarriffs are not affecting us that bad. Canada, keep your elbows up for growth!

I grew up in this part of Nebraska (Lincoln and Norfolk). It’s flippable if the Democratic Party can get their shit together and put up a good candidate.

Flood also said every wage is not supposed to be a livable wage. He needs to be removed from the public arena.

I love this for him

Who going to be the Democrat running against this guy?

Good point. I hope the DNC can sponsor someone.

*who is

At least the guy had the guts to show up. My loser Rep, Russel Fry from SC, is too chicken to face his constituents.

My representative shows up but then has people who shout at him carried or escorted out.

Then go to his office or home

You have to give him credit, but he probably thought he was with a safe crowd. He can’t believe the difference three months of screwing over your constituents makes on your reelection chances 😁😁😁😁👏👏👏👏

Oh yeah. My MAGA rep will only do "town halls" via zoom where he can control the entire thing. FWIW I'm in a *very* depressed/poor district in Michigan and his solution(s) was to open more concentration camps. His name is John Moolenaar if anyone feels like trolling him.

What part of Michigan? All my families there. I can’t imagine living where I grew up in Montcalm County during Cheeto 1 or 2. I would have not had a good time.

Z.

He carpet-bagged his way to you, huh? He was my rep for a while. As soon as redistricting made this one competitive, he ran away like Josh Hawley on Jan 6. Letters to your papers can help. Why is Moolenaar afraid to be in the same room as his constituents?

Thank for the tip! Yeah, we were looking forward to voting for Hillary Scholtan like the rest of our county, downloaded a ballot to do some research, and found his ugly name instead.

ISTG, it really is the Reagan era all over. Every depressed isolated little town was out lobbying for a prison back then., too. My hometown was one and the efforts lasted 10 years. it may have a better shot now. (Lots and lots and lots of *trains* run RIGHT through there.)

Well, this regime is following P2025. The HF had a version of P2025 for Reagan who adopted over 60% of it in his first year and liked it so much he had it bound and given to his Cabinet. They have been working toward this for decades. www.project2025.observer

Yes, indeed. They are.

He gets credit for showing up and facing them.

Maybe. Or maybe he’s so deep down the Trumpet Intellectual Rabbit Hole he imagines his voters are still “all in.”

Great questions. Where's the Epstein files? bsky.app/profile/iwil...

He looks like the deer after the headlights.

QtipsANON. FLOOD?

youtu.be/PEPS2NisElo?...

I love it, but let's see what NE-01 does in 2026 before we get too excited.

Misinformation or disinformation? Disinformation spread by orange swamp who made millions off of insider trading? He pays NO taxes.

I hope they all took their pitchforks with them. Mike Flood must resign!

This is Lincoln. Omaha is <60 miles from Lincoln. Omaha is a bright blue dot. Lincoln has a Dem majority city council. (Recall NE is not a winner-take-all state, & 1 electoral college vote went to the Dems fr District 2.) Very Hopeful, but unsure if awareness penetrates beyond District 2 & Lincoln.

I think we can turn Nebraska blue. Even the farmers are fed up with republican policies.

republicans,

Note: This was in Lincoln which is quite a bit more left leaning than the rest of the state sans Omaha. Seems they let Flood hear it. Love to see it. And GBMFR (Go Big MotherF**ing Red)

On one of the videos going around from the town hall, someone said he got a similar reaction at one in Columbus.

True. That's why they're trying to rig the maps before the midterms. I am in the state which is ground zero for this.

👏👏Keep this momentum up "PEOPLE" !!

He shouldn't have been walking out, except in hand cuffs. No pasaran isn't a slogan. It's a call to arms. Not a single member of the gop should ever feel safe again. No fascist should. Tyranny only exists when good people do nothing.

He's held two of these meetings in the last couple of months. Same thing happened in Columbus. What was he expecting to happen?

Control the narrative. That’s their mantra, Don’t let them . Have your voice heard! Stand up Do your part

Yea, Nebraska!

This is why they will desperately try to NOT have any elections whatsoever in 2026.

They can’t win if they don’t cheat and they know it.

As my girl says…

Flood is famous everywhere! He was on @maddow.msnbc.com tonight.

I think the Republicans have grossly underestimated how their constituents are going to feel about what’s been going on. They think their constituents are stupid. They are not stupid.

I think they live in a bubble in DC as they only ever mix with other Rs who are like them or who keep quiet. Then when they go home, they seem shocked at the public’s reactions. Things have gone way too far for them to claw anything back in time for the mid-terms

I’m picturing future republican events being held virtually, no responses allowed, and the reps are all Max Headroom.

FYI, Kimball Hall is only 850 seats. One of the smaller venues we have available in Lincoln. Within 2 blocks is The Lied Center, which holds 2,192. The arena, 15.5k. The venue was chosen to make sure as few people as possible would have the opportunity to participate while looking like they tried.

Knew what he was walking into and didn't give a fuck. The ancient Greeks had a word for this: hubris.

Flood was reelected, winning by 60/40 and claiming victory over every county in the district. They got what they voted for. Idiots.

He's just creating footage to show his base, at election time, how "tough & heroic" he is. Worm.

“Everyone knows the Democrats bus in folks to these town halls” (Cause we hold the record for placing ads in Craigslist and hiring, paying, dressing and placing phony ass supporters at our rallies.)

My thoughts!

blue wave, just for the principal of it.

Keep Up the good work people or vote the bastard out

What a classy lady like Kelly-Anne EVER saw in you, I'll never know.

A lot of misinformation shoveled by the MAGATs protecting Trump!

I love this for him.

He doesn't care. If he did, he wouldn't vote to destroy their lives.

Sounds like a party. All we need is a dance move..

I propose "The Heart Attack".

I love the smell of guillotines in the morning

They will vote Flood out

Recess 2025 Town Halls in Red Districts! bsky.app/profile/opsa...

GOOD!! He deserves the people jumping his sh*t & DEMANDING answers!! Did he forget his job?? *U.S. Congressional REPRESENTATIVE!!* HE REPRESENTS *THE PEOPLE!!* Besides...Stupid Republican Rep. must have forgotten WHO FUNDS HIS PAYCHECK!! WTG PEOPLE AT THE TOWN HALL!! YOU SHOULD GET ANSWERS!! 😀🥳🙌

A slide presentation of Nazi propaganda I’m sure. Nebraska is majorly hurting from the tariffs. You deserve better NE!

Lincoln and Omaha are mostly blue. I have no idea what he was thinking.

A slide show??? His constituents are there for answer’s not slides.🤪🤪🤪

Sounds like fun to me!

And this is what 2026 will look like across America. Get ready Rob Wittman, Virginia is over you!

Nebraska

... So ... that went well

No need for a Bill of this magnitude in the first 6 months of a term.

Who cares? They’ll vote for a Republican candidate again next election.

It’s Lincoln, NE the state capital with a democratic mayor and a highly educated population, thankfully!

His town halls in Columbus and Seward did not go any better....

🤣

My gut is telling me that they have no intentions of a free & fair election. Because they can’t win on their own merits. 💙🇺🇦🤬

My Congressman won't even hold a town hall. He might appear at a local Tea Party meeting which you don't even know when/where it will be held, or a Republican's club meeting. Maybe....some day....

I mean, unless they’re doing some performative misinformation.

also he seems to be putting other GOP who haven’t shown up for their town halls on blast with that claim

Greedy assholes do

Oh yeah…..some feel good news. Thanks George!

The response to his last answer is, “Fascists ignore the people whether or not they hold town halls.”

They all have the same message…the us does not have unlimited funds.

They are not fascists, they only support and enable fascists.

He was thinking after the first few minutes, "Nuts, there won't be pie after this".

Maybe in his face.

Add the tax cuts, golf trips and other administration jaunts; the costs for defense and deportation; the needless wall; and many other irresponsible expenditures. Then square all of it with the reason given for the cuts in SNAP and Medicare—that the US doesn’t have unlimited money. Ring true?

It is a "Let them eat cake" 🎂 kind of time. Republicans blatantly show their disconnect from the suffering of the common people. A callous disregard for the poorest inability to afford basic necessities like food and health care.

The Billion Dollar airplane is Trump's publicly-funded escape pod. He'll probably leave Melania behind and take Loomer aboard the New & Improved Lolita Express. Or Leavitt.

GOP voted against a Dem bill that would deny Trump use to have it after he left. Trump takes the plane with him at taxpayer expense.

They voted to give Trump a billion dollar parting gift. The irony is that they think he will leave.

I think some of them want a ride on the New & Improved Lolita Express.

Which is why we should stop supporting GOP counties altogether, until they pay us back

In a broad sense, GOP counties are pretty much broke.

Yes they do. He's proving it right now.

Only stupid politicians do like Flood who think their constituents are stupid and aren’t paying attention!

Recess 2025 Town Halls in Red Districts! bsky.app/profile/opsa...

Fascists love to lie to your face, to con or persuade you to believe the unbelievable.

They do, Otto, they just don’t understand the jeers are meant for them and their fascist actions!!

Fascists don’t have town halls. Fascists don’t have town halls. Fascists don’t have town halls. Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night. Fascist!

When you're a fascist, they let you do it. You can do anything.

We have unlimited money for presidential golf trips to Scotland, refurbishing a luxury jet from Qatar for the president and massive tax breaks for billionaires.

Video of his “fascists don’t hold town halls with question and answer sessions” needs to flood everyone in Congress* that refuses to hold town halls. * looking at you Blackburn (and others)

Well, obviously, that fascist will never hold another one.

Than they should answer the questions asked and not react with a word salad like they usually do when they don't like the question!

Thanks for sharing. I need more of this, less of other stuff....

Undercover fascists do.

And thus eneded the town halls for Flood.

Quislings do.

"Fascists don't hold town halls" is a keeper...

?

Ooooooooohhhhh . . . He's toast. Thenkew.

Thank you for posting this. Needed some hope that more people think what’s happening is wrong.

Agreed

Nazis were and are fascists. They held meetings till they had enough power to not hold them...

Mike Flood deserved every ounce of scorn. The cowardly reps and senators who hide, like mine here in Idaho, should have their eyes and ears opened by crowds at their district offices demanding they impeach and remove this regime.

His answers weren't open. He lied. That's EXACTLY what fascists do. The appearance of transparency and being accessible while bold face lying.

"Fascists don't hold town halls with open question and answer sessions." Yes, they do; they just don't give real answers. For a century Fascists have been pretending to be willing to "discuss" things. They use "debates" and appearances to spread lies and ignore real questions.

What a lying SOS. They have $900 million to refurbish the Orange Piece of Shit's plane and $200 million to gold plate a ballroom. The Orange Turd has no intention of stepping aside.

i swear. a tax the rich party would win 90% of the elections on that one issue. throw in some derivatives of it like money out of politics, and they’re pushing 100%

He's got enough of a spine to hold a town hall. Probably won't do any more because jeering. But it's still more than most of the GOP would do.

Maybe, but apparently people who promote and enable fascism do

We don’t have unlimited money in the US. Let’s refresh WHballroom retrofit a used aircraft for the President pave over rose garden military parade for Big Cheeto millions in golf trips for Big Cheeto tacky Oval Office decor don’t get me started on ICE budget Bazillion Big Macs

I give him credit for still having the town hall. Mike Baumgartner has been dodging his constituents hard. Everything he sneakily tries to schedule, he cancels.

May have been sheer hubris, though. He owned 15 radio stations and 7 tv stations covering Nebraska. He’s used to thinking he controls the narrative. Now, will he do it again? If so, will he stack the deck in terms of location, audience, and/or hired muscle as his Maga peers are wont to do?

Maybe fascist supporters do hold townhalls that way. Vote him out!

It sounds more like a question & evasion session.

“We do not have unlimited money…” “Yet you have $200 million dollars for a dance hall, $1B+ for a plane Trump gets to take home, and $30B for ICE so they can arrest children and farm workers.”

And putting a nuclear reactor on the f’n moon!

The list is endless.

I hope someone takes his response to showcase all the representative afraid of doing townhalls to avoid speaking to their constituents. And virtual townhalls don't cut it when you screen questions and comments ahead of time.

Sure they do. They just blatantly lie to their constituents

Wait, he said because there's not enough money in the United States?😆🤣😂 where in the fuck did the money come from for Alligator Alcatraz or the fucking cemented over rose garden or all of his golf trips or paying uneducated ICE agents $300k per year...and the.list goes on

How many are Republican voters? serious question.

Fascists don't hold town halls with open questions? Bullshit. You just did. That's how it works.Trump does whatever he wants, contempt for the rule of law, openly plans to stay in power; and you enable it. Because you know Trump will bury you if you question him, and support you if you're loyal.

Sure they do. They're just performative.

Which universe is this?

Vote him out! He thinks his answers are slick and accurate. THEY ARE NOT!

Sick and moronic is my take. Just like tiny tRump.

Right, money that Trump and his family are pilfering. TAX THE RICH!!

oh yes they do.

Listening to the concerns of one's constituents and doing the exact opposite of what they want is fascist.

If we do not have unlimited money in the United States, why are we building a fucking nuclear reactor on the moon?

While cutting taxes for billionaires and oil companies simultaneously?

It would be great if Nebraskans break the fever and return to their independent ways, where they could elect Bob Kerrey AND Chuck Hagel, both of whom were capable of telling their respective parties to fuck off. It was a good time back then.

The constituent asking about the taxpayer cost of Fascism is EPIC

The rank and file is way ahead of the supposed leaders now. Both parties.

That’s an astute observation

Leaders need to leverage the rank and file NOW!

Cleanup in all the aisles to the right

QtipsANON. Where's the Flood?

I call BS, he wouldn’t have come if he knew what was brewing, they are all cowards

Way to go Lincoln, NE!

republicans are going to pretend these are bussed in Democrats, because they don't respect their own voters.

Project 2025 Republicans looking desperately for a "safe space" is simultaneously hilarious and pathetic. Our "thoughts and prayers" are with them. Note that these thoughts and prayers are biblical in more of an Old Testamemt kinda way than the squishy, permissive Revised "narrative".

You should see the size of the town hall meetings that Sen. Fetterman never has! He is ending his third year without meeting and engaging with constituents. I know because I am one. I have sent him letters and emails to no avail, but he does talk shows and The View, and the Bill Maher Show.

Nebraska, Flood has sold you out for political power and now your state is going broke. When are you going to stop electing republicans?

Pete Sessions made a twitter post bragging about giving guided tours to insurrectionists on January 5, 2021. His town hall was quiet until he uttered the phrase "fake news". I lost it and screamed "fake government". Everyone felt obligated to ask questions other than his pre-screened ones. He lost

Well has the rudderless DNC stopped their infighting so they can recruit candidates? Or are they just going to support an independent candidate again?

BEWARE THE IDES OF NOVEMBER 2026 🏌️‍♂️🔜 ☢️

Americans aren’t distracted by all the nonsense being directed their way by this administration’s sycophants. They are paying attention to these “politicians” and cutting through their incessant crap.

I don't see any busses that Democrats were supposedly bus in on!😂😂😂
