Did The ‘Primacy Effect’ Push Trump Across The Finish Line? Judge rules yet another Rethug vote stealing scheme unconstitutional.
Trump’s Tweet Upends R Strategy. It’s one thing trying to defend Trump as a ‘corruption fighter’ in Ukraine. It’s quite another to support him when he demonstrates in real time that he’s the most despicable person in America. No way that just D’s found his behavior yesterday to be reprehensible.
Yep, Trump QB’d The Ukraine Plot. No more ‘hearsay’. I’m beginning to think he may well have to leave office.
Maryland’s Conservadem Senate President Is Out, To Be Replaced By Progressive. We can do the same in Delaware by electing Sarah McBride and Kyle Gay Evans, and especially by taking out Dave McBride in a D primary. A credible candidate will defeat McBride. We need someone to step up.
Rethugs Are The White Supremacy Party. Have been since 1964 and the passage of the Civil Rights Act. When Dems reach across the aisle, they are reaching out to white supremacists and/or their enablers.
What do you want to talk about?
On the McBride front, what would remove him is a prominently displayed story detailing that he doesn’t live in his district. If that were to happen, I believe he’d resign.
We’ve written it. Wish a so-called mainstream publication would pick it up.
The coup in Bolivia isn’t going so well:

As expected Trump failed to control himself and went full on witness intimidation with Yovanovitch, I doubt anyone was surprised. The Republicans are furiously spinning their wheels over yesterdays testimony and desperately trying to spin it as a win, good luck on that as she was applauded and got the coveted “Woo!” at the end. Don’t believe I’ve ever seen the like.
No, it isn’t. Paramiltary groups are killing indigenous protesters as more and more pour into the streets. Police are switching back to the people. Evo will be restored to the presidency and he will win new elections by an even greater margin than before.
Pro tip to military coup plotters: Maybe don’t allow the presidency to be held, even temporarily, by a right-wing religious asshole.
She just signed an order to immunize the military from all extrajudicial killings.
Because this is what democracy looks like.ยน

Reporting here from Ryan Grim of the Intercept. The fascist death squads are slaughtering indigenous farmers.
There are graphic photos in this thread. Be aware.

Sam Chick is an ahole. His attacks on Laura Sturgeon are childish and demonstrate his partisan proclivities. It is sad to think that the chairman of the young Republicans is more concerned about scoring partisan points than cooperating to move the entire community forward. In a better world he would be ashamed of his tribal excesses.
I had to look him up, and first thing up was this photo and story. If those are the “young” Republicans, they’re in even more trouble than I thought.
The Type II diabetes brigade. A short jog or going up a flight of stairs would kill these guys.
I believe Sam Chick is the fellow on the left.
All real special operators wear camo cargo shorts. That’s how you know it’s real.
I know, right? Actual camo for these guys would be sunburn-colored.
