That’s it. PA vs. WI. Hell in the Cell. Winner gets the belt. Loser ... well ... hard to pick one ...

If there was a single ounce of critical thinking skills among these people they wouldn’t be surprised. If the Democrats are smart they’ll try to pick up some support from those who feel betrayed and run with these grievances all the way to 2018.

“There’s no such thing as global warming. Chinese con. It’s a bigly lie. Let me tell ya, I know. They tried to run something similar on me, but you know what happened? I didn’t let them. Because that’s how a real businessman deals with these things. Doesn’t even matter how I ... What? Really? Proof? *Guffaw* Right…

Fucking vote, to start.

They were bad. Fraudmundo’s husband has ties to charter schools, as well as screwing teachers and state employees. Fung had an R next to his name. Healey fought with the teachers in Warren (before regionalization) in the 80's. There was a very long strike in April, 1986 when he was chairman of the school committee.

I’d love to see the ACLU jump right in the middle of this.

The ACLU has filed a FOIA as to the tax returns in order to check it against the Emoluments Clause in the Constitution. They are doing amazing work, right now, and sending them a donation is high on my list, today. It’s a selfish thing. Someone out there is protecting my rights.

A similar bill is going up in Indiana and other states.

Anyone who says this isn’t straight up fascism, is a straight up fascist themselves. Our right to peacefully assemble, which means anything short of actually smashing shit up, is guaranteed by our 1st amendment constitutional rights. Don’t think for a second that this law will not be used by a federal agency at some…

The unspoken caveat. Additionally:

“If you violate the law, if you block traffic, if you block access to a building,and if you are a black/brown person, that’s what this bill is for.”

It’s also not a good message because at no point did people go high. Chuckling over the “Cheeto-colored guy with tiny hands” is funny, but it’s not high. And when a bunch of people take shitty petty takes and proclaim themselves the highest of wit, it’s not like marginal voters don’t take note.

If the left can get its shit together in time for mid-terms, we should see enough of the electorate sufficiently pissed off to vote GOP’ers out of office and give the legislative majority back to Dems. Then it’s buh-bye Burnt Banana Bread Loaf. Impeachments for ERR’YBODY

I still say the bigger problem was that there was no plan to deal with the antipathy towards Clinton, aside from lecturing people that those feelings were invalid. (They were invalid but that doesn’t change people’s minds, not even Trump’s all-time high levels of incompetence couldn’t overcome that antipathy.)

I’m not convinced Mook can be shamed. He’s basically the real-life Dan Egan from Veep.

Was betting on Salena Zito.

I’ve been calling and emailing my reps daily to lobby against DeVos. It’s outrageous that she even has a *chance* at this job.

Every single second he is president is a violation of the Emoluments clause of the constitution.

The fun thing is that defunding climate science research requires defunding all kinds of other sorts of research that Trump et al would like such as extraction geology. Why? Without the climate science research money, geosciences departments at universities will cease to exist. It is impossible to find a discipline in…

I’m all for rich Trump supporters to throw around money while desperately telling everyone they meet that they’re not racist. I get the impulse, and the $450 is crazy generous. But saying the equivalent of, “Oh, you’re one of the good ones. Here’s some money.” still seems off putting.
