  1. Gay men and lesbian woman are normalized now, even to the GQP. Mostly because nearly everyone knows someone they respect, whether family, friend, colleague who are out of the closet. Even Fox News can't vilify "normal" gay people anymore. But the same cannot be said yet for the trans community and drag queens are viewed by FNC viewership as part of that group. Being a gay man is not hard in Santos' party but Kitara Ravache is not welcome there.
  2. I think Stefanik is low-key one of the most dangerous MAGA mutations in the country so anything that paints her in a bad light is good. She's intelligent, ambitious, and has shown the ability to understand how to adapt to her her audience. That is, she has no moral or political compass other than the accumulation of power. She's a potential MAGA standard bearer in the future and she's far more competent and more dangerous than all the Trump wannabes who mostly only want to grift.
  3. The tragedy of the whole situation is that he looks far happier as a drag queen than being a US Congressman carrying the burden of debt to whichever entity owns him. He certainly is not his own man anymore. Seeing the pictures of him in drag almost makes me have empathy for him. Almost doesn't mean I do though. Fuck him and what he's become.
  4. Is there any chatter of the voters in NY-03 discontent? I imagine not because they are mostly wealthy people who generally are able to just live life as normal amongst the inflation, etc. I figure most of them are treating this with apathy and will just wait to vote for someone else next time, in the primary or general.
  5. 31% is pretty good result for DeSanctimonious without declaring. The Fox News machine will tell the stupids to dump Trump after he Ron announces and the polls will change almost in an instant with the exception of the 20%-ish of the only Trumpers.
  6. We should just call him what he is: Russian Operative. That's where all roads lead. We will learn that the ease with which he lies is what made him attractive to the Russians in the first place; secondly how that the publicly exposed lies make his position weak and more easily controllable. This seems like comedy hour right now but I assume Russia's intent is corrosive just as their election interference was meant to be. The GQP is only happy to be complicit to own us libs. There's an arm of the GQP that is just an international unit of the KGB, unwittingly, because they are just too stupid or uninterested to know otherwise. This story is going to get worse.
  7. So this guy‘s political career is beholden to Russian oligarch money and the GQP is putting him on committees. Sounds about par for the course for that entity. When do we stop referring to them as a political party? Even the thin veneer of pretending to legislate is dissolving by the hour.
  8. I wouldn't put it past Trump to be stupid enough to take MTG as VP, but doing so prevents any chance he wins Georgia. He needs someone more vanilla and palatable to create enough apathy for the state's voters. The plurality of Georgia voters will actively cast a vote against that cunt.
  9. He's announced plans to move to Texas and attend Blinn after previously stating he was enrolling at A&M, who then refuted his lie, saying he wasn't admitted. This idiot has found his megaphone and I'm pretty sure he's going to run for some office and get elected in the next several years. Or hopefully he could be lying about moving to Texas like all these types are apt to do.
  10. The Texas conundrum is that we won't develop a quality Democratic bench in the state until there's some tangible signs that there is a chance for state-wide wins. Otherwise it's just political suicide. I don't think Beto counts. With the Latino stupids trending MAGA I doubt anything will change in the state for the duration of this decade. Or we need a self funded billionaire to try and waste some of their money on a vanity campaign to make a dent in the margins enough that an establishment D can break through. Don't see one of those.
  11. I've always thought one of the strangest long standing misconception about the two parties was that the GOP was always polled as the stronger party on the economy. It's stood through fallacy after fallacy being shattered to pieces. Will this crisis finally prove to independent and centrist leaning voters that this consensus is horseshit?
  12. I can believe this, but is there publicly available reporting or data to suggest this figure? I'd be curious to read it.
  13. If I was being cynical, the thin majority affords Santos a lot more teflon than appears. He could communicate to Kevin that he'll resign, thus handing over the seat to Democrats, if he doesn't get something in return. Not sure what the ask can be but we already know McCarthy has no backbone.
  14. Is the 118th Congress finally going to break the GQPs chokehold on white men with college degrees? We know that the US will either default on its debt or will require a bottom of the 9th rally lead by Democrats or executive action by Biden to save the world's economy. Voting to preserve White Privilege matters when there is wealth and lifestyle to preserve. But these fascists are clearly showing they don't give a fuck about anything but grifting campaign funds and being reality TV stars and will happily bring down American democracy if it means they get theirs. How the fuck can anyone with a college degree vote R in 2024 anywhere on the ballot? This is insane.
  15. I'd like to think the electorate would be wise to the GQP trying to pin the House dysfunction real-world consequences on the Biden presidency, but then I realized I put the words electorate and wise together. FNC will pin the economic chaos that's about to ensue on Biden and MAGA and other standard issue stupids are going to parrot it to anyone that will listen on Facebook. This McCarthy problem is going to become Biden's in time.
  16. For most of the GQP said person is known to be the hostess at IHOP.
  17. The only job offer Jay Wright will accept is $12m/yr from the Sixers. He is not at all realistic.
  18. Jewish population belies their financial strength and in particular how much they donate politically, with several mega-donors aligning GOP. https://www.jta.org/2020/09/24/politics/meet-the-top-15-jewish-political-donors I don't think the party wants this well to dry up. The MAGA base loves this rhetoric but the establishment is trying to wrestle control back and Trump pissing off some of these moneybags matters, especially since his elect-ability is in question so their business interests are not necessarily protected.
  19. Picking a fight with Jews will be the end of Trump, given his already weakened political and legal standing. They are a far more powerful bloc than any group the shithead has thus far successfully vilified for his grievance wars.
  20. Biden should offer him a pardon if he consumes a vegetable other than a fried potato.
  21. Although I know this stunt is to strategize for her political survival, I believe she's going to retire. There's no way she'll be able to fund raise as an independent and then want to limp her way to 3% of the vote in 2024. What's the point in that? I'm not too worried she's going to give the seat away to the GQP.
  22. If the GQP supported a generic white male suited corporate whore they would have easily won the seat. But no, lets throw our weight behind the most vile, misogynist, racist famous black puppet we can find. Lol
  23. Agreed. So the solution is to not call out friends and family who support the guy who’s personal responsible for the dehumanization and implicated in the deaths of shootings of minorities of all stripes? I’m incredibly non-confrontational as a personality but I have started to speak up to people I love. Including one uncle who has over 30 years of very close relationships with the Bush family, invites to family weddings, etc. Their continuing support for Trump is simply disqualifying and dangerous for America. I’ve told them as much. I will say that there are some people that listen, some that ignore me and still others that may not say it to my face, but effectively have told me to fuck off because I spoke up. This is above family and personal friendships to me at this point. I hope for a day this will be gone and I can regain some of the people in my lives I’ve lost. I made a trip through the former Yugoslavia several years back and talked to a lot of locals who all said the war was just so fucking stupid with absolutely no reason for any of it. Just the people suffering for the maniacal egos of power hungry morons. I never thought I’d see my country heading to the precipice of the same. This hate is pointless, and it’s coming from one party. We have to talk about it with our close ones, and forcefully. My belief is that even if I lose people in my life, they have also lost me. There has to be a personal price to their support for Trump and if losing me is it, fine. It makes me want to cry.
  24. Mormons are the only faction of the GQP coalition who are openly out on Trumpism and consistently vote so. It's the only place in the country that Romney can voice that much opposition to Trump, vote for impeachment, etc without risking being primaried. I imagine they do like Cheney but polls there have no bearing on GQP polls in any of the other 49 states.
