Democrat Pat Ryan defeated Republican Marc Molinaro in the special election in #NY19 (R+2 District). Every poll predicted a Republican win by 10-20%.

The women in this country are pissed! RoeVWade

A huge warning sign for Republicans.

it was a shocker apparently...democrats almost never win in New York

THE HILL "Ryan will represent the district through January, replacing former Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-N.Y.), who was appointed lieutenant governor earlier this year. Ryan was also projected on Tuesday to win the Democratic nomination for the November election for New York’s newly drawn 18th Congressional District. "

Two Florida residents pleaded guilty in a case connected to a stolen diary that reportedly belonged to Ashley Biden, the president’s daughter, and that ended up in the hands of conservative group Project Veritas, portions of which were made public in the weeks before the end of the 2020 presidential campaign.


For 40k. Yep that’s conservatives for you the laptop hell how do you think the Steele dossiers started

The facts tell a different story. The document was written by Steele, a British MI6 agent, at the behest of Fusion GPS, which had been hired initially by conservative Republicans seeking the skinny on Trump. About the time the Republicans lost interest,

Even. Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, also a member of the intelligence committee, said the dossier didn’t have any effect on the Russia investigation. “I actually don’t think it has any impact on the Russia probe,” Gowdy said on Feb. 4, 2018, on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

But again Truth isn’t what drives that party

So, is the GOP melting down right now? You decide.

Of course it’s all people nobody ever heard of….

First, the putative leader of the GOP is calling for the Senate GOP leader to be replaced, immediately.

The leader of the Senate GOP campaign arm, Rick Scott, is being openly accused of financial mismanagement by his peers.

There is an unprecedented and well-funded effort by Republicans to convince other Republicans not to vote Republican.

Liz Cheney will be campaigning with Democrats this fall.

When have we ever seen anything like this?

Today there were signs GOP candidates have been told to start distancing themselves from Trump, MAGA, abortion extremism (LOL!!!!).

GOP House candidate in swing districts scrubbing their sites of Trump endorsement.

The Republican nominee for Arizona Attorney General, 31-year-old AbrahamHamadeh, removed Trump's endorsement from his Twitter bio and background. The endorsement is also no longer on the homepage of his website either.

AZ Senate nominee running screaming from his extremist abortion positions. Another website scrub.

CO GOP state senator switching parties, saying the GOP had become an existential threat.

Jan 6th related investigations spreading.

GOP leaders in AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, WI have been subpoenaed.

Meadows, Lindsay Graham, other MAGAs being called to testify.

Rudy may get indicted.

Democratic candidates are raising tons of money. R candidates aren't.

And then there is Trump's ongoing criminality, betrayal of the country.

It has become THE GOP news story every day, blocking out all efforts by Rs to reach voters.

And it's likely to get much worse in the weeks ahead.

There’s a lot of polling on impact of abortion on midterms. But here’s a simple polling test that’s rarely wrong: watch how much money R’s put behind ads praising the ruling vs. how much Dems put attacking. You can’t lie in a campaign about how you spend money & It says it all.

I don't know...seems like our SB leftists are the ones melting down with their daily rambling, incoherent, angry and bitter posts....oh sorry, I meant "facts"

based on your assessments....there might be no republicans left by November either dead from covid, arrested for treason or shamed into identifying as democrat :hihi:

you should be happier....

every leftist post here should begin with a preamble...here I'll write it for you all...

"The Universal Leftist Post Preamble"

"You are an angry, snarky person whose life has no meaning and you have no friends, you are clearly racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic and all the other phobics and you are so stupid and intellectually challenged and undereducated that you actually believe the conspiracy theory that a baby in the womb with a beating heart is ..."life"???, you are also most likely a traitor who hates babies once they ARE born and anyone else who doesn't look like you. Your(or is it You're) existence and opinions are a threat to "our" democracy and your obvious undying loyalty to that criminal trump is all that is wrong with our otherwise crime and violence free society especially in democrat cities where, if there is any crime and violence it's because of the guns "YOU" own. Your very existence is a threat to the planet because you have not sworn allegiance to climate change and like us, made virtue signaling your primary focus and means to improve the environment. You refuse to accept facts as we present them from our expert biased sources no matter how many times we cut and paste them without attribution, it's hard to believe that you actually got a job and your co-workers probably secretly hate you, silly troll, keep drinking your Kool Aid..... ps...if any of this is insulting, you forced us to insult you....you...you...you ultra-maga semi-fascist radicalized cult member......do you ever post anything meaningful or relevant and do you even fish ?"...

:laugha:

Pete F. 08-30-2022 06:19 AM

I vaguely recall … **every conservative ever** saying that warning of riots in response to legal law enforcement actions (even wrong ones) was entirely unacceptable.

Senator Graham says there will be riots in the streets if Trump is prosecuted.

Why would a US Senator say this? It's the classic threat of organized crime types against prosecutors. "Nice little ___ you've got there. Shame if anything happened to it." Republicans, who've done nothing meaningful, like impeach Trump, after 1-6, now openly condone violence?

Is threatening violence if things don't go their way the new normal for the GOP? Would it work for BLM or groups protesting anti-abortion prosecutions too? Can the GOP also do this if they don't like future election outcomes?

These are no longer just theoretical questions.

And the Trumplican preamble…..

pro-choice = baby killers
marriage equality = hate the family
accurate history = anti-white people

The same people clutching pearls over being called “semi-fascists” have themselves been calling democratic voters “socialists” and “communists” for decades without any concern on whether those labels were entirely fair or callous.

they probably learned it from the democrats....:wave:

sounds like he was actually concerned that there would be riots...not necessarily encouraging it...but I'm sure you will spin it a certain way

"If they tried to prosecute President Trump for mishandling classified information after Hillary Clinton set up a server in her basement there literally will be riots in the street," he said. "I worry about the country." LG

weren't we told during the long summer of love that....."this is what democracy looks like"?

I'm sure the Muppet-In-Chief won't be too divisive on Thursday night :rolleyes:

Clinton was a govt employee w/clearance communicating with other people w/clearance. 5 documents. Not charged w/ violating the espionage act or obstruction. Fully cooperated-no need for a search warrant.

If you believe what she did was wrong, then Trump is a no-brainer.

By overturning Roe, the GOP lost all their one-issue voters who didn't really like what they stood for but are pro-life. Lost that whole base overnight instead of fundraising off an unfulfilled promise for another 40 years, and lit a fire under Dems.

Ann Coulter just put out an article saying “Trump is done.” Laura Ingraham said it’s time to “move on” from Trump. Ben Shapiro said Republicans need to stop “talking about Trump.” The establishment is turning on him before his indictment. Rats scurrying off the sinking MAGAt ship.

“The stock market is plunging and the Fed is giving up on a ‘soft landing’ in favor of a ‘growth recession.’ Buckle up
“It’s a bit like dripping water torture,” KPMG chief economist Diane Swonk told Bloomberg. Meanwhile, LPL's Jeffrey Roach told Fortune that "the Fed is in a tough spot."

Scott warns us the democrats are in trouble you can take that to the bank. I wouldn’t bet your life on it, the recession was coming, or at least the impacts of two years of Covid no matter what party took control. In control Biden is governing, passing impactful bills and the other party is wondering what the fu*k they are going to do now that Trump is possibly now not the party leader. I guess all the concern reported by the GOP haven’t been briefed by you, get on it.

Sarah Palin loses special election for Alaska House seat

wdmso 09-01-2022 11:04 AM

A proposed state constitutional amendment that could protect abortion rights in Michigan has hit another roadblock on its path to November's ballot. Wednesday, a four-person board deadlocked along partisan lines on whether to send the amendment along to voters this fall.


yep Republicans voted no! afraid to put the question on the ballot

once again they are afraid of the voter! they saw what happened in Kansas

Republicans Blame Ranked-Choice Voting for Sarah Palin Loss: 'A Scam'

classic republicans no respect for the voters

New Election System
In the 2020 General Election, voters approved an initiative to establish a Nonpartisan Pick One Primary Election system and a Ranked Choice Voting General Election system.

"Ranked-choice voting is a scam to rig elections," Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton tweeted on election night. "60 percent of Alaska voters voted for a Republican

tom should read up a bit more on how it works



only republicans would be afraid "Requiring a candidate to get more than 50 percent to be elected isn't a scam; it's sensible. Let's get ranked-choice voting everywhere."

PaulS 09-01-2022 11:49 AM

Cotton is sort of right. However gets the most votes in an election should win.

That how it works. you can’t win with less than 50% of the vote. If you have more than 2 people running for the same office

So in the end the person with the most votes win
