Brave Joni Ernst ran away. Bravely ran away, away! When constituents reared their outraged heads, She bravely turned her tail and fled. Yes, brave Joni Ernst turned about And gallantly she chickened out. Bravely taking to her feet She beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Joni Ernst!

Good. Who needs that bitch? Unfortunately, she’s probably set herself up nicely with all the perks of being g a conservative thief..robbing the American taxpayer for years, and now retiring with all of the benefits of enriching herself with our money. These people are nothing but piranhas.

I have some Iowa numbers for everyone. +16 the number J Ann Selzer’s poll gave Kamala. Trump *wins* by +13 and files his bogus lawsuit he won’t pursue. +11 the number Catelin Drey just won by. Interesting, no? One might even say… BlueAnon Curious.

You gonna start seeing lots of republican retirements. Typically a bad sign ahead of the midterm elections for the incumbent party. Btw the video below is from March 2018 but it aged well as even with a a strong economy, Democrats won 235 House seats, flipping 40 seats from the previous Congress.

CJC <3 🇺🇦🌾🚜🌾🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱 @castyman22205.bsky.social

The 2026 election will likely see a weak economy meaning Trump’s approval rating (which was 42-43% on Election Day 2018 according to the late 538) will likely be below 40% by then. My prediction: Democrats win between 230 and 245 seats in the House of Reps in the 2026 election, a gain of 20-35 seats

CJC <3 🇺🇦🌾🚜🌾🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱 @castyman22205.bsky.social

*Correction: Democrats winning 230-245 seats in the House of Representatives in the 2026 election would be a net gain of 15-30 seats from the current (119th) Congress.
