The States: Maybe A National Divorce Is A Good Idea After All

Ottawa Impact fired John Gibbs last night, but they'll probably have another nut in the position soon.

Not only that but they are speculating that the deficit will drop even more because they won't need to spend as much to fix the problems they were left with.

A single Republican in AZ shot down an anti-trans ballot measure. Not for noble reasons, but because he knew it would be DOA at the polls. Still...

Why does the Iron Range have their own Sinema?

Speaking of the Right: Ottawa Impact picks a fight with the Health Administrator, couldn't agree on $4M to let her go, and ended up keeping her.

The party of responsibility.

When will Americans realize the Right isn't just violent and ignorant, but also irresponsible, lazy, and unethical?

These are the zeroes we have had to carry through 8000 years of civilization. Their only purpose is to protect us when others of their type attack.

Just have everyone control their own, and the adults of the world can finally plan for a future without these cowardly losers.

End the Right.
Srsly. We have carried them for too long. They add nothing.

Thanks to the Avignon Papacy situation currently playing out in the MIGOP, this will be fun to keep an eye on. Pass the popcorn.

In February 2023, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation to move up the date of both the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries in Michigan to February 27, 2024, in line with the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) state reorganization plan.

The date violated Republican Party Rule 16(c)(1), which prohibits any state/territory except Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, from holding their primary/caucus until March 1, 2024, violating any other state/territory by stripping 80% of its delegates at the Republican National Convention.

In response, in June 2023, the Michigan Republican Party passed a resolution of intent that would allocate 16 delegates based on the results of the February 27 primary and 39 delegates based on the results of caucuses in each of the state’s 13 congressional districts on March 2.

The convention held by the faction of the Michigan Republican Party recognized by the Republican National Committee led by Pete Hoekstra will be in Grand Rapids at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel on March 2, while the faction of the Michigan Republican Party led by Kristina Karamo will hold their convention in Detroit at Huntington Place on the same day. While media is invited to the Karamo caucus, it will be closed to the public. The RNC has indicated that only the delegates from the Hoekstra-led convention will be seated for the 2024 Republican National Convention.

Oh I'm 100% sure Trump approved of his predatory office tryst, so there was some other reason he chose to endorse Rosendale's opponent.

Trump was probably ticked off that he wasn’t the one to get her pregnant

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

While I don't doubt it happened, I highly doubt that is why Trump endorsed his opponent. That makes it sound like Trump understands how politics work.

Former North Dakota Dem Senator Heidi Heitkamp gossiped on a recent podcast interview that MT-02 Congressman and former Montana GOP Senate candidate Matt Rosendale knocked up a 20 year-old staffer, which is why Trump endorsed his primary opponent and forced him to drop out of the Senate race.

He's denying it and threatening to sue Heitkamp, lmao. He's 63, so I'm sure his grandkids can help babysit the new bundle of joy.

I'll tell you what though, "pop" is definitely dying, because the other day I realized that I almost always say "soda" now.

Disagree. Unless you mean pop as a beverage.

It's incredible the different meanings the same thing has in different states.

I kept rereading this as life jackets
