Turmp is going to win b/c your mom, that’s why
Yes, I’m fucking going nuts thinking about how Trump is going to win in 2020. I remember the Bush years. I thought Jon Kerry had a chance. The guy with a face longer than Jay Leno’s and almost as annoying an accent. My god, I really thought he was going to win, Jon Kerry. Who […]

NRA Now Pro Violence Against Women
If it isn’t already, the NRA should now be more toxic than a half pound of ham, wrapped in an ebola monkey’s diaper & left in a car trunk for the month of July.
In a sane world, any Delaware elected official that still takes the blood money and remains beholden to the NRA should be instantly unelectable. And that goes double for Democrats in safe D districts like Johnson and Bennett.
Dems Face Uphill Slog To Win Senate In 2020 – But Don’t Worry, They’ll Make a Tough Situation Worse
History tells us that a strong progressive platform, based on policies that are proven to be widely popular throughout the country, will help Schumer recruit competitive Senate candidates.

“I feel comfortable I’ll be their Plan B,” says Tomlinson, 54, the first female mayor of Columbus, a minority-majority community and one of Georgia’s largest cities.
Nineteen months from Election Day, a political eternity during which plenty can change, Democrats are looking at Plan B in Senate races around the country. Even in a campaign cycle that looks far more promising than last year’s, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., who heads the party’s Senate campaign arm, have struggled to recruit candidates who are battle-tested statewide.

Even those that succeeded were mostly one-hit wonders, but what great hits they were. The Shades of Blue hailed from the Detroit suburb of Livonia, Mich., […]
