Voters continue hating Republicans with a white hot hatred

Breaking: Trump's idiotic minority is a minority.
Shelby County Democrats trounced Republicans last night. Of the 26 county offices up for grabs, Democrats won all but five — and those were previously Republican commission seats. Before the election, Republicans held nine of the 10 most high-profile county offices, including mayor and sheriff. Now, they hold zero. How to describe the devastation of last night's win for Republicans? It was a rout. A sweep. A wave that overwhelmed Republicans who had largely controlled the county — not counting the commission, which had a scant Democratic majority — since 2008. Of course, all eyes were on the mayor's race, where Democrat Lee Harris easily won by more than 10 percentage points: With 153,583 ballots counted as of 11:03 p.m., Harris had 84,956 votes, or 55.3 percent, to Republican David Lenoir's 68,491 votes, or 44.6 percent, according to unofficial results from the Shelby County Election Commission.
Memphis is in Shelby county.

That Closing-In Wall Just Fell Down

I think the chances are about 25% that Republicans try to talk Donald Trump into resigning office before the new Congress is sworn in next January. No, I'm not engaged…

Aug. 6 Open Thread: The Endgame Begins

Yesterday was the best day for anti-Trumpism since his election. His own tweet removed the fig leaf Republicans have been hiding behind ever since the Trump Tower meeting went public:…

Is Ken Simpler a racist? Yes, he is.

For all of the damage that Trump has inflicted on America, we need to thank the President for one thing. He has stripped away the pretense that the GOP is not a white supremacist, racist organization. Trump has made it absolutely clear that ANY politician running under the "R" banner is complicit in advancing and supporting a white supremacist, racist organization. That includes Ken Simpler and any otherwise "nice" republican still trying to pretend that GOP of 2018 is he GOP of 1990 or even the GOP of 2010. Is it fair to single out Ken Simpler in a headline as a racist? I mean Simpler is probably outwardly nice to the minorities he comes in contact with, but this is much bigger than individual relationships. And if I am wrong, all Simpler would have to do to prove me wrong is renounce his affiliation with the white supremacist, racist organization that is the GOP in the age of Trump. One year after the President aligned the GOP with the white supremacist, racist attacks in Charlottesville, it is not too late for Simpler to do the right thing.
