We're witnessing a full politician meltdown on social media and television. Her PR team must be pulling their hair out.

Probably because they rule states that are so heavily Republican and the Democrats are so weak and ineffective they never have to deal with much adversity and they get used to getting their way, and in many of these states they just ignore any local or state media that doesn't already support...

If you can't handle the likes of Stuart Varney throwing you softballs, then your chances to be a national candidate are likely done.

^This. People have been waiting for Trump to do actual jail time for his crimes since he was first elected in 2016. And so far, nothing. He's been fined, but I'll believe he's going to prison when I actually see him dressed in orange being escorted into a prison somewhere. Until then it all...

Trump definitely has a thing for Eastern European women (she's the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants). I'm sure she will use her "ample assets" (to quote the NY Post article) to help keep the Trump grift machine running smoothly at the RNC.

At this point I'm all for Donald picking Noem as his running mate. Of course his cult would excuse her affinity for killing dogs (and goats) even if she took a pistol and the world's cutest puppy and blew its brains out on national television, but the rest of the electorate and legions of dog...

Agreed. At least she can find some comfort and solace from this PR disaster in the arms of Corey Lewandowski the next time she shacks up with him at CPAC.

Netanyahu and his government have shut down the Al Jazeera TV network in Israel and raided their offices. They claim that Al Jazeera is a mouthpiece for Hamas, which the network disputes, as have international groups like the Foreign Press Association and the United Nations Human Rights Office...

The New Hampshire legislature was debating a bill that would raise the legal marriage age in the state from 16 to 18. NH GOP State Rep Jess Edwards drew gasps when he argued in favor of continuing to allow child marriage. Edwards stated that "If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as...

The GOP in the NC House just passed an "Academic Transparency Bill" that will require all public school teachers to post all of their lesson plans in detail, along with their name, on a special website for parents to see, within ten days of the lesson being given. So no significant pay raise for...

From what I've read the people sponsoring this fundraiser aren't connected to the fraternity. They claim they'll throw a party for the frat and that any money left over will go to charity. We'll see. Given previous stories about conservative fundraisers gone wrong, would it be all that...

Reminds me of a supposed Will Rogers quote during prohibition - "Oklahoma will remain dry as long as the last Baptist can stagger to the polls."

That one too.

Veteran teachers haven't received a decent pay raise in over a decade (in some years they've gotten practically nothing) and yet even with a record surplus the legislature refuses to meet Cooper's 8.5% pay raise request (or anything remotely close) but instead they continue to transfer public...

An old one: What's the difference between Methodists and Baptists? Methodists are Baptists who can read.
