Yeah, it would be stupid if the GOP crossed the threshold that this is meant to deter. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted July 25 Posted July 25 I've been contacting John James office relentlessly over Epstein. He ran false ads accusing Marlinga of protecting pedophiles and here he is running cover for the biggest pedophile in the world. 1 Quote

Motown Bombers Posted September 2 Posted September 2 What I like about this new found ageism in the Democratic Party is that none of these young candidates have actually come up with anything I hadn't heard since the 90's, and none of them have explained how they would get anything passed in a Republican controlled congress.

The Dems keep wanting to do it from the top down, which I don't think ever creates the conditions for the shift on the ground even if they win the White House every couple of cycles. I think there are big Dem donors, maybe not like the Koch's, but they don't have the imagination or maybe the patience, to do the kinds of things the Koch's, Murdoch's or the Heritage foundation have done.

Elections will be mostly fair in most of the blue states and in a few safe red states. But as we can see from the redistricting fiasco, elections can be rigged far ahead of the actual voting. But in the end, if an actual blue wave took place with the effect of flipping either or both houses, I would think there’s a distressingly high probability that Trump and his minions would cause so much chaos around the results that the newly elected Democrats won’t be allowed to take their seats the following January 3.

Started out clever but the quality of the gibes is fading. They were never clever, Newsom simply mocked the president. It was low hanging fruit. It was funny in that someone was doing it back to Trump and even funnier when the MAGA right tried to make fun of Newsom for not sounding professional. I don't like the idea that our potentially next president mocked anyone like that, but I believe it was Chuck that simply pointed out (paraphrasing and hoping I'm capturing his thoughts correctly) that at least he's willing to get in the mud and fight the same fight with Trump.
