I wouldn't be surprised if we have student protestors being shot before all this over, especially in places like Texas where the governor can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants with no real repercussions. Shades of Kent State.

Huckabee never became the GOP presidential or vice-presidential nominee. If Noem gets the V-P nod I have little doubt that this story will be revived nationally and will hurt the GOP ticket this fall outside of their cult base.

The one saving grace of Congressional Republicans is that they hate each other almost as much as they hate Democrats. And who can blame them - they're mostly a loathsome, contemptable lot.

Another issue in the campaign already is that he apparently lives most of the time in Connecticut and not Pennsylvania, which has raised the whole carpetbagger issue, as with Dr. Oz when he ran for the Senate in PA. I also love his response that "Does she know I’m running against a career...

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott speaks to Young Conservatives of Texas convention in Dallas, and states that he wants to ban trans people from teaching in schools in Texas and promotes privatizing public education in the state. He also brags that Texas is not only the only state to build a border wall...

Not a surprise at this point, but yet another GOP candidate has apparently lied about large portions of his background and life experience. PA GOP Senate candidate David McCormick has repeatedly told campaign rallies and reporters that he grew up on his family's farm in rural PA - “I spent most...

Yep. I'm sure that the good Rep. Wilder probably goes to church almost every Sunday and sees no conflict between his faith and what he's doing in his business or in his political career. Jesus loved children, but Wilder exploiting them in his business is totally different and has nothing to do...

More evidence of the GOP's great appreciation for the intelligence and equality of women.

You can argue that the only thing that gave FDR and the Democrats enough power in Congress to enact the New Deal was the Great Depression. Without that epic economic disaster Hoover would likely have been re-elected and the Republicans would have kept control of Congress. The historical periods...

And Mark Robinson advocates that we return to showing kids "tough love" by "beating" them - “But how many of y’all know when you hold your young’un by one arm and beat them in a circle, because they were bad — how many of you know that’s love too?" And that's beat, not spank. He also won't say...

GOP Public Ed Superintendent candidate Michele Morrow wants cameras posted in all classrooms so parents can see what teachers are up to every moment of the class day. But she's blocking reporters who are trying to ask her questions on her social media sites. If she's elected it's going to be a...

Plus if he gets his daughter-in-law running the RNC to cut her loose that will free up more money to go towards paying his legal bills.

I wonder sometimes what he's like at his day job. He must have a helluva hangover every morning after boozing and posting rants here for much of the night.

Yeah, I don't think that pro-choice supporters are going to be mollified or fooled on this issue. The GOP got their Supreme Court supermajority and got exactly what they wanted in overturning Roe, and all it's done so far is bite them in the ass in state after state, including even some deep red...

Agreed, but previous polls only had Stein up by 1 or 2 percent, or even trailing slightly. So at least there's been some improvement.
