Peltola increases her lead slightly in Alaska.

She needs about another 2-3% in her lead to beat Palin (according to polling data from one of the better pollsters up here). With current numbers it’s going to be awfully close.

Send them to Gitmo and waterboard them until they give up their co-conspirator terrorists.

(I'm kidding, of course. We already know they are Republican Members, media, and voters.)

Glad to see the jury was as unmoved by the defense's angle of "acquit to send a message to the FBI" as I was. In fact, in the wake of the recent Mar-a-Lago operation, it annoyed me. If you want to try and litigate entrapment in the court of law, fine, but the obvious political bent of that particular phrasing was an insult to the jury's intelligence.

Picture a drunken Mel Gibson rant, but replace the overt Antisemitism with loud and proud homo/transphobia.

So, every evangelical sermon.

You kinda hafta formally reject a group that calls your guy an Anti-Pope.

But the nutbar cultural beliefs of these types are right in line with the conservative wing of Catholic orthodoxy (women for breeding, no homo, all the biggest hits)
