As Trump QUADRUPLES DOWN on Mexico Hating – Undocumented Immigrants build his hotel

Donald Trump is keeping his Mexican hating stories alive in the press for a simple reason - THEY ARE WORKING for him. It is going to be a mad scramble to be one of the "top ten" chosen by Fox News for their first televised debate, and Trump has found his ticket to the event; hating on Mexicans. Now, turns out, undocumented immigrants from Mexico are building his new hotel in Washington, because... of course they are.
DL GOP Fantasy Pool Update – Christie promises to do to America what he did to New Jersey

DL GOP Fantasy Pool Update – Christie promises to do to America what he did to New Jersey

Christie informs GOP primary voters that HE ALONE can tell the hard truths, ruffle feathers, and make the beltway Pharisees gnash their teeth with dread by speaking bluntly about how poor people have too much money and rich people, not enough. He is ready to lay some straight talk on the people and if they don't like his version of straight talk - they are probably residents of New Jersey who are so familiar with the real world impact of all of Christie's daring candor. Anyway, if you are a glutton for punishment (at or about the same level that Christie is a glutton for donuts) watch this nausea inducing video:
The NJ is taking Lafferty seriously…is Copeland?

The NJ is taking Lafferty seriously…is Copeland?

Is throwing the Gov's race a sign that Charlie Copeland is willing to keep his powder dry for yet another statewide election? Is he going allow the teabags to run "a real conservative" and fall on their faces (again)? If that is the plan, he is more a much more cagey tactician than I've ever given him credit for.
Scott Walker’s Wingnut Extortion Plan

Scott Walker’s Wingnut Extortion Plan

Scott Walker is threatening to NOT run for President, unless he can extort $100 grand from a bunch of suckers by June 30th.
Jason, As you know, I am nearing a decision about whether to seek the Republican nomination for President of the United States, but a decision this important takes time ... and money. Whether I run will depend on the support I receive from conservatives like you during this crucial decision-making process. To that end, we have set an ambitious goal...
ACA Subsidies Upheld 6-3

ACA Subsidies Upheld 6-3

Suck it, you Teabags.
WASHINGTON –The still-controversial but increasingly sturdy Affordable Care Act survived a major challenge Thursday as the Supreme Court rejected claims that could have dismantled the health care plan. The court ruled 6-3 against four Virginia plaintiffs who had insisted that federal subsidies offered to offset the cost of health insurance purchased on a federal exchange operated on behalf of 34 states, including Texas, were illegal.
This utterly fraudulent, purely political case should never had made it this far.
Bernie Sanders packs thousands into a Denver gymnasium

Bernie Sanders packs thousands into a Denver gymnasium

Sanders is catching fire. My takeaways below:
Bernie Sanders, who’s emerged as Hillary Rodham Clinton’s chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, drew an estimated crowd of more than 5,000 people to the University of Denver on Saturday night for what appeared to be one of the largest political rallies of the 2016 cycle. Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist senator from Vermont, delivered a fiery speech in a packed university gymnasium, where he decried the greed of the billionaire class, saying it is “destroying this nation.” Besides the more than 3,000 people in the gym, others listened in an adjacent atrium.
Good bye and good riddance to the rebel flag

Good bye and good riddance to the rebel flag

As a child of the 70's I have to admit that I'm a little surprised at how quickly and completely the rebel flag seems to be falling into the same untouchable category as the swastika. I didn't think we'd see the demise of the stars and bars in my lifetime. It has always been venerated by particularly showy and repugnant southern racists, but it has also been something else.
