This truly was a layup for the DNC. And they dropped the ball. At one point on the campaign allegedly she mused to staffers "Why aren't I beating him by 50 point?"

Why indeed, Mrs. Clinton. Why indeed.

she's right though.

As unlikable as she may have been, only an imbecile would vote for Trump over her.

Never understand the hate. I don't get it. Fortunately, whatever it is it's not relevant anymore.

yeah, I'm not sure either.

There are also a few redneck Mainers driving around with the very classy "**** Mills" bumper stickers on their ****ty trucks (in reference to our Democratic governor). I assume a large part of it is misogyny. She's literally the first governor in decades to get more than 50% of the vote, and I don't feel like anything she has done has been all that controversial.

But she isn't a stereotypical angry old white dude who'd be perfectly content to sit on his front porch and yell at cars driving by to slow down.

“Cruz is saying that, all this time when Republicans were claiming that corporations were ‘job creators,’ it was really just code for ‘they send me cash...’ Cruz is now telling the world that it was a sham. It was all a quid pro quo.”

Perhaps America's fever is breaking, but we have had false springs before.

Biden has exceeded my expectations by an amount greater than any public figure in my lifetime.

Speak moderately; govern radically.

Cons are soooooooo close to getting it. I'm all for busting up Amazon, they're sort of a ridiculous conglomerate at this point, though I doubt Hawley's bill is the entirely the right way to go about it.

I just like that Hawley sells his book on the very platform he supposedly hates so much :^)

And I won't lie I don't care how the GOP gets to the finish line if they actually started making companies pay their taxes and end corporate welfare I will give them credit for it. They never will, so I am not very worried about that.

If Cruz really wants to stick it to them, he should repeal those corporate tax cuts!

Cruz could actually be a Useful Idiot in this instance.

We need legislation to eliminate corporate bribery. We need to nuke Citizens United and McCutcheon. Maybe this poor, dumb schlub will Baby Huey into that.

Turtle Boy can DIAF.

In a letter obtained by CNN, the Republican leader asks Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to abandon curriculum in American schools that McConnell argues tells a revisionist history of America's founding.

McConnell claims these programs such as The New York Times 1619 Project "re-orient" the view of American History "away from their intended purposes toward a politicized and divisive agenda." Politico was the first to report on the letter.


The project, launched by The New York Times in 2019, reframes American history around the date of August 1619 when the first slave ship arrived on America's shores, and it has launched a fierce debate over the legacy that slavery has played in shaping America, particularly as it relates to its treatment of Black citizens.

However, the Education Department, under the Biden administration, has proposed offering grant programs to states and local schools that would incentivize them to use tools like the 1619 Project in their classrooms.
McConnell is calling on the education secretary to abandon the idea.

"Actual, trained, credentialed historians with diverse political views have debunked the project's many factual and historical errors, such as the bizarre and inaccurate notion that preserving slavery was a primary driver of the American Revolution," McConnell writes. "One renowned historian called the project 'so wrong in so many ways.' Citing this debunked advocacy confirms that your Proposed Priorities would not focus on critical thinking or accurate history, but on spoon-feeding students a slanted story."

CNN has reached out to the Education Department for response to McConnell's letter. The White House referred CNN to the Education Department.
McConnell did not limit his criticism to the 1619 Project. He also attacked state level programs that he argues demonstrates a pattern of public schools attempting to indoctrinate children with liberal policies.

"Families did not ask for this divisive nonsense. Voters did not vote for it. Americans never decided our children should be taught that our country is inherently evil."

While you are right, I am not sure the 1619 Project is what I would die on a hill on if I was the Dems. Well, except to own the Cons ;^)

I'm sure black people will be extremely interested in your rank ordering of their concerns.

This is why flyovers get a bad name, man. We get it, you don't know you're whitesplaining; you aren't Sic, you don't mean to be a dick.

But as a friend, that's just embarrassing bro.
