Is that the only election happening in November? Any house races? Any state races?

Ive said, I don't think the GOP takes the US senate, the democrats got lucky with which seats are up, not many vulnerable incumbent democrats in this rotation.

As he was walking on an elevator yesterday, GOP Sen. “little” Marco Rubio said that a vote on a bill to codify gay marriage was a "stupid waste of time."#^&
#^&
But when he said that, there was another senator on the elevator who heard him: Tammy Baldwin, who is gay.

So not all that long ago, when Obama and Hilary both stated very clearly that they opposed gay marriage for religious reasons, what was your reaction?

GQP had years to pass an alternative to Obamacare
Never did it
GQP had years to pass infrastructure
Never did it
Just the party of NO

Well, I've always been told if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. I think that explains a lot!

A man who organized buses to Washington on Jan. 6, tweeted during the riot that Vice President Mike Pence was a “traitor,” tried to impeach Governor Larry Hogan, and spoke at a QAnon conference, just won the Republican nomination for Maryland governor.

The Trumplican party is not unlike an organized political mafia. Disloyalty is harshly punished. Members are bound by a code of silence as they watch other members commit crimes against our political system. They shake down/threaten businesses. Females are 2nd class. How is it so different?

Another “Squad” progressive just lost in the Democratic primary in MD4 to a “Biden Democrat.”

While Republicans keep trying to elect extremists, pro insurrection candidates across the country, Democrats are(mostly) nominating more centrist-Biden Democrats candidates.

Would it be an exaggeration to say that Herschel Walker is the dumbest person in recent American history to run for the senate?

Pelosis husband, the drunk, buys a chip company just ahead of a congressional vote on chip subsidies.

Does it look fishy? Or does the fact that we’re talking about a democrat, provide sufficient proof that nothing wrong took place?

problem is, the same people who hold him responsible, say the economy is a bigger concern.

Criminalizing birth control and abortion isn’t popular.

Picking on gay kids isn’t popular.

Banning books isn’t popular.

Eliminating Obamacare isn’t popular.

Enabling criminal Presidents isn’t popular.

Democrats will take the fight to Republicans on their hard, mean, spiteful turn to the right.

FUN FACT: Of the 45 million jobs created since 1989, 43 million — nearly 96% — have been created under Democratic presidents.

Since Reagan, the only actual policy the GOP has had has been "take all the money there is and give it to people who are already rich."

That's it. Nothing else.

And they used racism to misdirect while they did it.

Most jobs under Biden weren't created. They were restored after we opened back up.

You just aren't capable of honesty unless it totally favors the left.

So Biden owns the jobs that were restored, but not the covid deaths, not the inflation, not the crime spike, not the increase in illegal immigration, not the skyrocketing interest rates, not any of the things that are making life harder.

In other words, you give him credit for all the good things, but no blame for the bad things.

That's not how sane people evaluate a president. It would be convenient for you if you could get people to buy into that logic, but they don't.

Baloney

so then should you chastise republicans that vote against efforts to reduce the economic impact on people ? every republican voted no on the gas price gouging bill, american rescue plan, build back better, and climate change package that would all add large amounts of jobs ?

Old conservative argument: judges shouldn't be determining if gay marriage is legal.

New conservative argument: Congress shouldn't be determining if gay marriage is legal

CBS reporting on the Lee Zeldin attack, states that “Zeldin says” he was attacked.

they can’t just say he was attacked. They have tonstatebthatbwerentakung Zeldins word for it, that there’s no video or charges filed against the atta let

“Enemy of the people” isn’t that far off. Imply he’s making it up, because he has an R after his name.

That’s a great example of why originalism is defective, things change, society changes and failure to accept that can lock you into an unacceptable position.

What are you being victimized by now?

NY GOP rep Lee Zeldin is blaming the release of the man who allegedly attacked him on bail reform.

The man was released because the DA very strangely charged him with a non-bail eligible offense. That DA - Sandra Doorley - is co-chair of Zeldin's campaign.
