Predictions for the 2026 Midterms

[The Sage of Main Street]

Being a survivor who did so without doing harm to others, who climbed as high as they could without using the backs of others, is something to be proud of in any economy,

Now, Finally, It's "If You're So Smart, Why Haven't You Made the Rich Richer?" It's Got to Go Beyond That, Though.


In intelligent English, "as high as THEY could" would apply to "others." Anyone who doesn't brain-vomit on seeing the Singular They must really have HIS (the only rational alternative for "his or her") mind numbed by conformity to pushy B students jealous of A students.

Organize to get 50% of "corporate" patents. In college, get the same adult allowance and paid-up tuition the RichKid Reich gets. Restructure secondary education so that the superior students get the same praise from the other students that the superior athletes get now.

You don’t know much do you? WaPo is Bezos media and Bezos is a Trump supporter. Daily News is Murdock, like Fox News. WSJ is conservative. The Star Ledger is decidedly liberal but BBC and Al Jezeera play it right down the middle on U.S. news coverage.

Bezos is not a Trump supporter.
The WaPo is left leaning.

 

[ModernDiogenes]

Bezos is not a Trump supporter.

He gave Trump’s inauguration a cool million. He gave it another million in Amazon live streaming support. He gave $40 million for Trump’s wife’s movie b

The WaPo is left leaning.

Bezos blocked WaPo’s endorsement of Harris in 2024.

Bezos narrowed the scope of WaPo’s editorial pages to personal liberties and free markets in February 2025. That made things like the Epstein files out of bounds.

I was a highly rated professional investigator for over 40 years and literally got paid for my deductive and critical thinking skills in both the public and private sectors. So I have a professional record to show what I am capable of, how about you?

Stop pretending. You're own inability to critically reason says you're a liar.

Not at all. It just isn't what you are painting it as.

It certainly is. Argument of the Stone fallacy.

That is not a counter argument. It is ad hominem horse manure. The personal attack that say, "I know I am losing this argument."

Assumption of victory fallacy.

Fox News is radical Lefties? OK then... {LOL}. They aren't as bad as they use to be, but Jesse Watters appearence every week night at 8pm says you are very wrong about that, even before you get to Hannity.

Fox News is leftist.

On what planet?

This one.

Both are relatively straight down the center on their coverage of US news.

Lie. Synthesis. Propaganda isn't news.

They report, for the most part, facts and leave the reader to determine what they mean.

Lie. Synthesis. Go learn what 'fact' means.

I worked in politics for a time [until I realized it is too dirty a business and I too honest a person to live comfortably within it]. I worked in both radio and TV and print media before I became a professional law enforcer. I have a portfiolio few others can claim and your insults are water off a duck's ass when aimed at me.

You ignore and discard the law. You were never a law enforcer. Pretending doesn't work here.

So try sticking to facts and try to refute my arguments with them [I promise I will blow a hole the size of a Howitzer's in most of them] rather than try the personal attack crap.

Go learn what 'fact' means.
A Howitzer is not a hole.
Stop whining.

 

[ModernDiogenes]

Stop pretending.

Too late to the ball. I’ve danced with the other two MAGA extremists sufficiently to expose the thinking as much as I thought was necessary to make the point. I’ve moved on. Have a nice day though. (Sincerely).

I didn't say the President is Congress.

DON'T TRY TO DENY YOUR OWN POSTS!

I implied the President usurped Congressional authority and he has.

He never did, moron.

He is placing tariffs

He has that authority, moron.

outside the realm of Artical One of the Constitution.

Trump has the authority to place a tariff, moron.
DON'T TRY TO HIDE BEHIND THE CONSTITUTION YOU DESPISE!

He is doing the same with making war over the 60 day period of the War Powers Act.

What war?

Both of which are clearly defined by law as Congress' job.

DON'T TRY TO HIDE BEHIND THE CONSTITUTION YOU DESPISE!

Trump stamped HIS name all over the BBB nonsense.

He can do that, since he lobbied for it.

HE claims it as his own.

He never did, moron. CONGRESS created the bill, and voted on it, and passed it, at the urging of Trump. Trump then signed that bill into law.
That's how it works, moron.

The BBB is not nonsense. Go and read it.

When HE did so how am *I* wrong in accrediting it to him, when HE claims it?

RQAA. Don't ask again. It's mindless.

Your argument is spurious and weak.

Inversion fallacy.

Further, as I would like to think you have a brain you are aware that is so, which is why you went for the personal attack instead of a solid counter argument.

Do better.

Insult fallacy. Mantra 1a. Lame. Argument of the Stone fallacy.

You realize that in the verbeage and the verbose style you use you make it very obvious what main account for which this is a sockpuppet, don't you.

Mantra 1b. Lame.

Sure, on this site it is nothing but words but I am not the one making this personal and I am happy enough to let the assembled reason out for themselves who the "moron" is.

Inversion fallacy. Omniscience fallacy.

You are never going to win a fight of ideas with me going at it like this. You have to shape your thoughts around facts and present them in a way that substantiates that your points are fact based, not simply your opinion on the subject.

Go learn what 'fact' means. Buzzword fallacy. The Constitution of the United States is not an opinion. A bill in Congress is not an opinion.
Go learn what 'opinion' means. Assumption of victory fallacy. Redefinition fallacy.

You have a nice night tonight and a good day tomorrow. Put the sockpuppet away for a while and go out in the sunshine. I'll be playing poker at the firehouse so I won't be here till evening anyway so unless I stop by in the morning before I head out I won't be here for you to throw your peobbles at.

Mantra 1d. I'd love to have you at my table. I could make a lot of money off of you.

OK, I will. I am a card carrying registered Republican

Lie. Synthesis.

and when I worked in politics over 40 years ago I helped get Republicans elected to statewide and county offices as a job.

You were that lousy a Democrat, eh?

I made a living at it. I also held a very minor elected office myself.

Stop pretending.

When I worked in law enforcement for 25 years I served my community well.

Lie. Synthesis. You support discarding the law. You never worked in law enforcement. False valor.

I was decorated a baker's dozen times for doing so.

Lie. Synthesis.

What did you ever do for your country or community?

I'll let IBDaMann speak for himself here.
As for me, I have started multiple successful companies, the largest of which manufacturers and sells instrumentation worldwide for industrial processes, medical, entertainment, and aerospace industries.

You ever serve in ANY capacity?

I serve my customers. That's why they are willing to pay me for my products.

You good folk have never seen an alternative fact you won’t embrace.

The Heritage Foundation itself did a study and found from 1982 to 2025 a couple of hundred cases, each a single individual, so a couple of hundred votes spread out of 50 states, over the course of 43 years. That over a BILLION votes cast and only a couple of hundred individual caees.

Not one election changed. OVER ONE BILLION VOTES.

MAGA truly lives in an altered universe. Your world is flat, 9/11 was an inside job, we never landed in the moon. MAGA is bonkers.

There is no such thing as an 'alternative fact'.
Go learn what 'fact' means.
Trivial fallacy.
Argument from randU fallacy. Random numbers are not data.
MAGA is not a person.
There is no such thing as 'altered universe'.
Cliiche fallacy.
9/11 was a terrorist raid that resulted in the collapse of WTC 1, 2, 6, a section of the Pentagon, and the heroic passengers of flight 93.
Mantra 1d. Lame.

Terminal fallacy.

Feel free. The tide is turning. People are finally DISCERNING reality.

Go learn what 'reality' means. Buzzword fallacy. Cliche fallacy.

The polls show it. You’re becoming the minority.

Argument from randU fallacy. Void reference fallacy.

Truly? Well, you elected the scripted reality TV fraud so…

Inversion fallacy.

I’ve done nothing that foolish to call my DISCERNING into question. Sounds like a MAGA problem.

Your posting.
MAGA is not a person.

Since when is breaking the law while in the job not a performance issue?

Inversion fallacy.

Oh, I think my case rooted in the public record ttat clearly indicates Trump is a pathological malignant narcissist is solid. More people are agreeing.

Inversion fallacy.
Omniscience fallacy.

You can't blame your problems on anybody else.
You can't speak for everyone.

 

[Into the Night]

Trump is going to reap the whirlwind. He's sown the wind. He tried to make this election about him and he's about to see how disastrously he read the room.

Inversion fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

Don't you think $6.50/gal Diesel is a kind of Tax

The current price of diesel is 4.39/gal. Anything beyond that is taxes and local shortages.

on the MAGAt stupids?

MAGAt is not a word.

LOL How many of the mouthbreathers are sitting there in giant trucks they can no longer afford to fill up. All because their lord and savior didn't want anyone to see what he was up to with Epstein.

The trucks are still running.
Epstein is dead. He does not and never did control the price of diesel fuel or any other petroleum product.

 

[Into the Night]

So, tell me your pedigree that makes you so aware and sure of the circumstances that you pontificate so?

Courtier's fallacy.

I know what what's behind me.

Apparently not. Pretending does not make anything happen.

Two degrees, 25 years of the best front row seat in the U.S. to observe the circus and learn from watching you all go by, until I have to intercede and put someone in prison. What have you done to make you think you have a clue, because from what I am hearing it sounds like you haven't one.

Stop pretending.

Un, that goes for you too.

Compositional error fallacy.

Trump loves the uneducated.

Contextomy fallacy.

No one with a brain and a conscious would vote for his fraudulent scripted reality TV show ass.

Mantra 1a insult fallacy. Lame.

MAGA's next candidate for the White House; Ye Ye. He's right up their alley.

MAGA isn't a person.
2026 is not a Presidential election year.

Those who can think there way to the other side of the problem do amd those that can't correct the grammer of those that can.
