fyi, there's another suit over this by Congress that's still alive states suing on behalf of their businesses, which are being unfairly out-competed by Trump's hotels, was never the strongest case in my opinion

What's the current connection between the DNC and McGrath? Are they fully lined up behind her or is she just one of the candidates running?

Right wing dems in the south sounds like that new Joker movie. It's about a guy named the Joker, but it has nothing to do with the character, the comics, or other movies. At what point do you just start calling them Republicans?

Just imagine the future English classes. "Well the 20th century brought us authors like Hemingway and Fitzgerald that wrote great books and poems. Then came the 21st century with self proclaimed wordsmiths like CarpeDonktum and mad_liberals that made such inspiring memes as writing "Triggered libs?" over an image of a frog" Charlz Guybon posted:Trump isn't some invincible godlike figure, his support has a breaking point, just like every other wannabe strongman.

Beep boop the Appalachian Democratic party is still largely the remains of the pre-alignment party and they're going to behave like it. That being said, running as being pro-Trump rather than being a populist who points out Trump's BS is a pretty dumb loving stance.

But this is a case of "Upstanding cartoonist/Trump masturbator" draws anti semitic poo poo and gets hammered for it and how it's so unjust and wrong to do so while they in the same breath will hammer on someone else for being anti semitic when she wasn't The double standards the Republicans have based on whether someone has a D or an R next to their name just kills me a bit more every time it shows

McConnell getting ousted would do the same but better. Nobody is supplanting McConnell. Everyone I've ever talked to says they hate him with a passion (even most Conservatives), but consider him to be the one aspect that elevates Kentucky above every other state, so the trade-off is worth it in their eyes.

I'm all for competing in as many races as possible, but the party needs to be smart about where to allocate their resources. This looks like a really dumb long-shot based on a fundamental misunderstanding of potential white working class conservative swing voters. Unfortunately, the DSCC and big donors are suckers for these kinds of hard-right Democrats and won't actually examine how her campaign operates.

Quorum posted:To clarify for those not following along: after the mass shooting in Virginia Beach, Northam called the General Assembly back into session to address gun violence. He proposed a raft of bills, most of them aimed squarely at the "milquetoast but nonzero improvement in the status quo" window, like universal background checks and allowing local governments to ban guns in their government buildings, something the state already does. A couple of the most milquetoast of these bills actually managed to pick up one or two Republican supporters, mostly from the Virginia Beach area, enough to pass them in both narrowly-divided chambers of the Assembly. The usual gambit here for the Precambrian liches in charge of the legislature, like in Congress, is to bury such bills in a hostile committee so they never see the floor to begin with. That's sort of what everyone had expected to happen-- bunch of committee meetings, everyone gets to pound their desk, some impassioned floor speeches, the GA passes something useless that nobody really likes or cares about and then we all go home with some fresh sound bites in our pockets, and if all the stars align maybe we get literally the most lukewarm gun legislation passed that does nothing but makes everyone feel better. This is such an amazing thing. The sight of them going NOPE and booking it for the hills is gonna sink them in Virginia Beach, and with the redrawn maps, 2019 could complete the pendulum swing from 2017 entirely. For people who wrote Northam’s move as an empty political stunt, he sure got one hell of a visual out of it. “You’re all coming to work to do something, anything.” “Get hosed, I’m outta here”

quote:President Trump’s overhauled July Fourth celebration cost the D.C. government $1.7 million, an amount that — combined with police expenses for demonstrations through the weekend — has bankrupted a special fund used to protect the nation’s capital from terrorist threats and provide security at events such as rallies and state funerals.
