This is a case study of how harmful “both sides” journalism can be. Voter ID laws first started bubbling up during the Bush administration, around 2003 and 2004. The framing of the surrounding controversy in the mainstream media was always some version of “Democrats say [X], while Republicans say [Y],” i.e. “Democrats

Well, the GOP head of the PA legislature has stated repeatedly that they aren’t willing to go that far. The law really is that clear. They would need to pass a new law changing the existing law, which Governor Wolf would never sign. And even then, it would violate clearly stated federal law to apply it to a previous

Who refused to accept the last election results, ya mad turtle? Questions were asked about foreign interference (ya know, the foreign interference the FBI and CIA flagged) and what role the Trump campaign may have had in it (as it turns out, at least some, as per Donny Jr). But nobody refused to accept the results or

One thing to keep in mind amongst all of this bluster: As it currently stands, nothing that Trump is doing in court has any chance of reversing the election. What I mean by this is that, if you look at the specific relief they are asking for in their complaints, and you give all of it to them, Trump still loses.

Hope of hopes is that Clarence Thomas also caught a case from that event...but you know Republicans don’t let two black men in the same room at the same time.

Just a giant reminder to everyone, Trump is not required to concede. It’s considered a tradition and the right thing to do, but his refusing to do so will not change the result (it’ll mostly make him look like a giant sore loser). We will do the recounts (which historically tend to make the outcome even more

Why is no one reporting on the fact that Trump was out playing golf on taxpayers’ dime when it was announced? Come on, ladies and guys. It sums up his lack of leadership so well, and no one is even talking about it.

VPOTUS-Elect Kamala Harris, how it started:

As a long-time resident of California, I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. She’s been working toward this for a long time, and she’s going to be awesome. 

Despite the historic nature of Harris’s election, there is a wariness about whether she will fulfill promises to the Black and brown communities that she claims to represent.

Seen on the DC streets today:

This chart shows exactly how delusional Trump is:

My second-favorite wrestler turned actor, Dave Bautista, also volunteered to deliver the “it’s over” message to Trump.  I’d watch the hell out of that.

When this is all over and Trump is finally out, I want the public and/or media to make sure to keep reminding everyone that these so-called men and women in the GOP will suddenly come up with excuses to save their own political skin and claim they never supported Trump’s policies or they were silently horrified by his

Well, see, it adds up like this....Trump is a delusional lunatic.

The current GOP is UTTERLY free of awareness of/concern about hypocrisy.

“Don’t let them take your vote away,” says man whose political party is actively working to take as many votes away as possible.
