Trump’s National Garden Of American Heroes. Featuring such ‘heroes’ as the Rev. Billy Graham and Antonin Scalia. I think we all see what he’s trying to do here.
Militia Groups Descend On Gettysburg To Defend American Flags From Non-Existent Antifa Threat. Years of consuming nothing but propaganda have completely eliminated any critical thinking skills they might have had. In other words, they’re easily duped. As they were here.
Feds Shred Banking Regulations–2008 All Over Again? If history is a guide, next come the bailouts of the banks.
Florida’s Daily Covid Cases Surpass New York At Its Peak. Gov. DeSantis decides to take the whole state down with his political fortunes.
Trump’s Shrinking Electoral Map. Reading this piece reinforces my belief that the Electoral College sucks, and must be eliminated.
‘Ye Running For President? He’s a Trump supporter, and has said so. Meaning, his candidacy could only have the effect of siphoning off some black votes. I think this is going nowhere.
Delmarva Economy One Big Question Mark. Tourism is down, and so likely are the fortunes of small businesses.
What do you want to talk about?
“ Voters in traditionally Republican Oklahoma supported a ballot measure to extend Medicaid benefits to 200,000 low-income adults in a vote testing the popularity of the Affordable Care Act during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
The intersection of policy and election strategy. When Dems fight for basic human decency, we win. I don’t understand why this is such a mystery to people like John Carney.
The problem is that Carney has never had to run against anyone who demonstrated a sense of basic human decency, so it’s not something he will ever have to worry about.
Is anybody else getting these ‘Please Reelect Colin Bonini As Your State Senator’ pop-ups on virtually every link today? What’s weird is that (a) there’s never a picture of Bonini, and (b) he’s not up for reelection this year. Seems like something from Russia.
I just got one. Somebody’s paying for them, and I doubt it’s Russia. More likely the site at the link is eventually going to have Bonini for Governor stuff on it; I suspect that the ad buy was made before the web page work was done.
It’s a nice microcosm of the kind of government you’d get if a lazy incompetent like Bonini won. He’s much more likable than Trump, but no better at actually running anything. With any luck an inept gubernatorial run would shine enough light on his incompetence to make voters in his district wonder if they’re getting effective representation from this clown.
That hasn’t worked in the past.
Lots of things that haven’t worked in the past are starting to work now.
I have to laugh at the old fascist fucks in Gettysburg, complete with their traitor flags, man breasts and dick extenders. They are nothing but a hot hormonal mess.
Another greatest idea from the fertile (as in manure) mind of the “Orange peel”
“I’ll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands” Charley Heston (aka God, aka Moses aka bag of Soylent Green) RIH (Rest In Hell)
Maybe Trump’s National Garden of American Heroes can contain a display of Charlton Heston’s fossilized “dead hands” holding his gun or his dick. It could be crafted as a functional urinal where all of those NRA psychos can relieve their anxieties. How about a plot for Jerry Falwell replete with Klan garb that his maggot of an offspring can don when he visits daddy dearest.
Maybe some huge pre-dug craters for Barr and Pompeo and a greasy slide into a garbage dump for Steve Miller, Jared, Eric and Don Jr. Damn that place could be listed as a superfund site for maintenance purposes with all those vermin residing there.
We can replace “Death Valley National Park” with the newly created “DEATH WISH (NO MASKS ALLOWED) NATIONAL PRANK”
