Would this story still get zero national attention if Cunningham had a (R) following his name instead of a (D)??

Only if he was president. Then the national press would have to move on to the next horrible thing he did a day or two later.

Nah your dear leader sucks up all the media attention. There are plenty of dumb cunts (men and women) who are running as R's and fucking up left and right, but nobody outside of Trump is getting any media scrutiny. And I don't really blame the national media for it, because there's a new disaster every 4 hours with this administration.

It has been mentioned several times on Fox and other right-wing outlets. And it doesn't matter if it gets national attention, what matters is how much publicity it gets in NC. And both the Raleigh News & Observer and Charlotte Observer have been all over this story, and other local media outlets (like Spectrum News) have discussed it several times. So it is getting lots of publicity in NC, where it matters. Whether it hurts him enough that he loses is an open question. But it's not as if no one is talking about it, or has talked about it. And in case you haven't noticed, we've got multiple disasters happening nationally every week now. The pandemic is starting to surge again, multiple hurricanes hitting the Gulf Coast, the wildfires in CA, your hero's antics on everything from the debate to a stimulus package to his own bizarre covid recovery are sucking up all of the media attention. It's not as if nothing else is happening except Cunningham's affair.
 
it really has just been completely swallowed up by all the dumb stuff in DC. crazy what the world has come to.

i thought he apologized after original texts but not since it came out that he (supposedly) boned her?
 
Does Angus not realize that Trump paid to bang a porn star while Melania was pregnant and used campaign funds to pay for her silence?

Or does he just not care because of the R by his name?

Graham and Harrison were set to debate tonight in SC, but the debate is now cancelled after everyone, except Graham, involved in the debate, including the panelists, agreed to take a COVID test before the debate. Before their last debate, Graham and Harrison also took COVID tests and tested negative. Really curious that Graham won't agree to take another test. Apparently, Graham is getting crushed in the local media for ducking the COVID test. Link: https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/election/article246339275.html
 
It appears that Tillis has had marital problems of his own including two failed marriages. His first wife alleged "cruel and inhuman treatment."
 
“Verbal and emotional abuse” is a very wide net that could include a number of seemingly innocuous things.

It’s an allegation in a divorce Petition. It could be as broad as “He said I was fat.”

It’s easy to get reeled in by the bigger much more egregious possibilities but I’ll hold my judgment until some more facts come out.

I still can't imagine South Carolina retiring Graham for a black Democrat, but given the trajectory of Trump's campaign right now and Harrison's strong performance in the first debate and now this, it does appear that Graham is in some danger. I read today that Mitch McConnell has been privately meeting with Graham over his concerns that Graham is in trouble and might lose. If Graham loses it would be perfect karma (after Trump losing, of course), but even if he doesn't it's nice to see Graham being forced to struggle and sweat over an election campaign in his home state. You just know that privately he's got to be cursing Trump as Lindsey has kissed his ass and debased himself for four years to please his SC GOP base, and yet Dear Leader may now help drag him to defeat. Of course, he ought to be cursing himself, but that will never happen. What a tool.

He’s right.

Our immigration policy is written and supported by mediocre, mostly white, Americans. The refugees and other immigrants who come here generally work harder and are smarter than them.

It’s as if Nick Saban just recruited out of Alabama instead of recruiting the best players from the entire country.

Every time this subject comes up, I remember reading about Jackie Robinson and the integration of baseball, and about how many mediocre white players were the most opposed to integrating the sport because they knew that they would likely lose their jobs to more talented black players. It really isn't all that different with immigrants and nativism.
