2022 MidTerms & State races- who ya got?

[Kepler]

Yep...

Actually thinking about it, religion seems to be a decent way to carve a few more votes away from the R's. Put an emphasis on the religious aspect. I'm sure there are a decent number of non-church folk that vote R outside of the Southeast. Not that it's an instant kill, but every vote counts.

Even better, take them up on it and innocently say, "but which sect?"

They'll be in disarray for a century. Church groups can't even agree on where to put the salad bowl.

Speaking of Bobblehead, I saw she said in a speech yesterday that churches should direct the government.

Says so right in the Constitution that every God fearing Republican has a pocket version of on their person at all times. They've never read it though.

You mean that thing that only has one Amendment that they truly care about, specifically a single clause of it?

Yep, that one. That clause is stained in every copy. The rest of it is clean as a whistle.

Powerful words from @Liz_Cheney
at the Reagan Presidential Library: "The reality that we face today as Republicans, as we think about the choice in front of us, we have to choose because Republicans cannot both be loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the constitution."

Liz must not be reading the Right Constitution (pun intended).

Banana slices or shaved carrots?

[Drew S.]

This is right on the money https://frenchpress.thedispatch.com/...three-americas

[psych]

Drew, that guy publicly, violently disapproves of LGBQT people. He’s not one of the exhausted masses, despite what he says.
And who the **** thinks calling America divided in 2020 is a prescient idea? French is full of himself.

[French Rage]

French is full of himself.

Well I mean yeah but there's no reason to call me out like that.

Ohhh you mean the author of that article.

Maybe there is a nugget of truth here or there but he lost me very early on in the piece with this:

I did not see political violence escalating to the point where angry activists on the far right and far left are rendering public service more perilous and frightening with each passing month.

He presents this issue as if there is an equivalency between these two threats. Which is utter and complete bull5h!t and Drew, you either know that or you are as dense as people here (me included) sometimes accuse you of being.

Our country is being dismantled and destroyed by the right. It is not being dismantled and destroyed by the left. At all. Sure, you can point to a lefty lunatic here or there (I'll probably be one one day) who uses violence in a completely wrong or criminal way. We all know the extreme right-wing baseball playing member of congress Steve Scalise was shot by someone who held left views but his act of violence has been overwhelmed in number by acts of violence by those on the right. For every act or threat of violence from the left there are 99 or more threats from the right. Also true, the "angry" left will not bulldoze their way past the "exhausted" middle to enact whatever the right fears the left is plotting to do. If that was true, we'd have been a completely socialist nation a time or two already. Yet we see every day the "angry" right trying to bulldoze past everyone to get their way. Do you need a more stark example of this than January 6th? Or from a poltical sense, the examples we've seen a dozen or so times from this Supreme Court?

French's piece is hack-work and his political bias shines through. By the time he revealed which wing he used to spend time on (I was unfamiliar with him before reading the posted piece), it was already apparent to me he was on the right wing side of the equation.

I will say this, if he is correct about some "exhuasted middle" being the key, they better get their ****ing as ses in gear and rise up. The sand in the hour-glass has just about reached the bottom.

[rufus]

Don't you realize that treating women, black, Hispanic, or LBGTQ people as equal to a white man, with all the white man's rights and privileges, is destroying our country?
