I agree - Democrats haven’t been great about putting up candidates in places that they don’t expect to win. One silver lining of this national nightmare is that it has seemed to energize Dems and liberals who normally aren’t that engaged with politics to actually run and vote.

I mean, neither of those things happened in my lifetime, but certainly there have been more horrible periods in American history. I’m just saying that Fox News has kept a large minority in this country scared 24/7 about threats real and imagined, and fear isn’t a great state of mind to make rational decisions. It…

This is why Fox News is so harmful - it’s just 24 hours a day coverage of Shit To Be Afraid Of (whether true or not, but mostly not). They are perhaps the most corrosive thing to democracy that has popped up in my lifetime.

O’Rourke has also been out here saying that his parents have called him Beto since childhood. I mean, he can go by any name he wants for any reason - its a dumb thing to go after somewhere for (especially if you yourself do it dipshit Rafael Cruz) - but it’s a pretty established family nickname.

That’s crazy to me that they can legislate against strikes - you’d think workers would have the freedom to strike whenever they wanted or else what good is having a union? Or I’m guessing that’s the point...

Stealing this hahaha

6th largest economy in the world, nearly 40 million residents. $7 billion General Fund surplus this fiscal year 2018-19.

Democrats need to do a better job of connecting taxes to services. Of course, if given the choice, the majority of people would like to pay less in taxes. But that means there is less money available to fund services that everyone wants. Or pay teachers or firefighters or anyone else.

How in the hell can it be illegal to strike?

IF MCCONNELL WANTS THE VOTES, HE NEEDS TO BRING THE GUN REFORM BILL TO THE FLOOR!

Do you know what would happen if the Oregon legislature decided to pass to a law to raise the age to 21? Would he lose standing or no since it’s 18 now when he is filing the suit?

OH MY GOD! One for every occasion! I know I didn’t originally comment but these are pure gold. Thanks :)

Hahahah v apt analogy

Yeah, I know it’s a minor detail in the grand scheme, but the fact that it was his WIFE (who is not even employed at HUD) was the person making this request pisses me off even more. Then to demote the woman who rightfully said hell no you’re not spending that much taxpayer money on fucking dining sets.

What’s the name of the series? Sounds interesting, if not seriously depressing given our current state of affairs.

Yeah, he did. I’m not really shocked that it’s mostly a performance but what a career - being arguably one of the most vile people in the country and hocks bullshit supplements to unwitting rubes.

Haha while I’d like to take credit for coming up with it, I’m pretty sure I saw it somewhere else in the Kinjaverse and realized it defines him in a lot of ways.

Yeah, intellectual or ideological consistency is not their strong suit by any means ha

Yeah, these idiots seem to forget that Twitter and YouTube are private companies and therefore can lock down whoever the fuck they want for any reason or no reason. I know Twitter is Donny Two Scoops preferred method presidential communication, but it isn’t actually part of the government.

I saw someone on Twitter point out that these out-of-touch assholes starting Twitter wars with these teenagers is the modern equivalent of getting involved in a land war in Asia
