You know something stinks when a poster joined the forum less than two weeks ago, has 11 posts and already has almost 4 gold stars.
I’ve said my piece, I let you guys banter on for your entertainment purposes......
Gee thanks, very kind of you.Originally Posted by ScubaJohn
I once again would like to extend my condolences to Bsnub in the wake of the loss of 2 democratic seats in the House of Representatives.
So much winning.
In the midst of a pandemic that has already claimed close to 100,000 lives in the US and has spread on the back of an inept response from the federal govt and Trump's usual brand of lies and stupidity if that's the best you can rely on for 'winning' you are going to have to change your brand of turd polish.Originally Posted by RPETER65
How's that disinfectant-laced Kool-Aid tasting?
Seems to me this is significant given the mess Trump's administration has made of the response to the virus. Only a couple seats so far but the Dem strategy to near exlusively campaign on Trump's response to the virus failed here. Dems take note. Best change message or more seats will be lost.
"The victory is the first time the G.O.P. has flipped a Democratic held seat in California since 1998 and is a significant win in an election that was primarily conducted by mail and reflected the country’s bitter partisan mood."
"Republicans are likely to point to Mr. Garcia’s victory as a sign that President Trump still has support in the kinds of suburban areas that Democrats are depending on to win back the White House. Mr. Trump had repeatedly weighed in on the race, endorsing Mr. Garcia even as he suggested the election was “rigged” by Democrats in the state."

everybody needs to take a deep breath.
1. we're talking about california's 25th district....except for the last year, that seat has been republican since 1993.....27 years.
2. the dem who held the seat for that year, resigned after her ex husband released revenge porn of her having sex with someone on her staff
3. this was a low turnout special election, and the guy who won, garcia, is up for re-election in november.

indeed, a sexual lesbian affair
as opposed to a non-sexual lesbian affair?
Agree Ray. SoCal has never been exactly a libby stronghold but as much as I would love to see Trump and his cabinet sent into retirement, I really believe the Dems aren't going to succeed using their current strategy.
Much more of what a Dem candidate will do and far less, "vote for me and get rid of Trump" and Republicans in Congress is needed.
Appears same to me Harry. Must admit, early days so I have yet to look closely at campaign ads but watching CNN and other pro Dem media this is all I see. Fox and other conservative sources of course defend the cunto no matter how bizarre his ramblings are.
I will as usual vote in November but as a voter sure am sick n tired of it. More on what candidates intend to do locally and federally would be welcome.
As with the last Presidential election, I will vote for Biden as I did for Clinton but will as last time be a vote for lesser evil. Not very enthused voting for another old white guy but given the altenative, the only choice I have.
Washington Post suggests Trump would REJECT a lost election… just like it’s been doing for YEARS!

The Washington Post has warned readers they should “prepare for the possibility of Trump rejecting election results,” should he lose in November. For a paper that’s spent four years rejecting Trump’s election, that’s pretty rich.
“We don’t know whether Trump will be reelected,” the Post’s contributor Brian Klaas wrote on Thursday, going on to suggest that should the president lose to Joe Biden, he will likely claim to “be the victim of a rigged election and a ‘deep state’ plot.”
Klaas, who says he’s studied rigged elections in the world’s banana republics, claims that Trump’s rants about alleged voter fraud in the 2016 election, his tirades against the “deep state” supposedly working to undo his presidency, and his supporters’ fondness for guns all mean that he won’t hand over power gracefully should Biden get the upper hand in November.
In short, we should worry that he’ll cling to power like a Zimbabwean despot.
What a breathtaking lack of self-awareness. While the Post wonders whether Trump might reject a hypothetical loss, the Post’s journalists have spent four years rejecting his actual win in 2016.
A month after Trump’s inauguration in 2017, the Post changed its masthead to read “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” Note that Democracy didn’t die. It merely didn’t go the way the paper’s editors wanted it to go.
As Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s ‘Russiagate’ probe picked up steam in the coming months, the Post ran more than 7,000 articles on “collusion.” It didn’t matter that Mueller found no evidence of this collusion; the paper simply changed its tack, and implored readers to “read between the lines” to find the mythical conspiracy.
If it wasn’t the Russians who handed Trump the presidency, it was “nonvoters,” “whites,” the outdated electoral college, and “collective narcissism,” among a laundry list of excuses and bogeymen. From ‘Russiagate’ to impeachment, the Post proclaimed every new effort to remove Trump from office as the beginning of the end. Columnist Jennifer Rubin has declared “the walls are closing in” on Trump’s presidency for three years straight. They’ve yet to budge.
With Russiagate dead and impeachment forgotten, the Post’s writers have wandered further into delusion in recent months. Columnist Max Boot in particular has pumped out some truly pathetic pieces of fan fiction. “This wouldn’t have happened if Hillary Clinton had won,” he whined in March, as Trump struggled to respond to the growing threat of the coronavirus pandemic. Describing how he “wept in anger and frustration” over how Madam President wasn’t sitting in the White House, Boot went on to pen another tantrum two weeks later, literally titled “The worst president. Ever.”
Boot is a longtime warhawk who’s in all likelihood just upset that he didn’t get the war in Syria that Clinton promised on the campaign trail. However, he’s not the only Post columnist to seek refuge in alternate reality.
Last month, politics professor and Post contributor Daniel Drezner wrote a hypothetical account of “President Clinton’s” handling of the Coronavirus pandemic. Based on nothing at all, Drezner concluded that Clinton would have reduced daily infections down to 100 a month ago and saved Italy and Spain from the ravages of the virus, all while Republicans clamored for impeachment.
The hypocrisy on display is mind-bending, and should be apparent to all but the most blinkered ‘Orange Man Bad’ readers. But rather than asking whether Trump will nuke the moon if he loses to Biden, the Post’s editors should be asking what they’ll do if he wins again.
By all counts, it’s a strong possibility. Trump is currently beating Biden by seven points in 15 battleground states. National polls say otherwise, but support for Biden has been steadily declining among crucial youth voters. Confined to releasing rambling videos from his Delaware basement, Biden’s ‘digital campaign’ has been declared “a disaster,” even by liberal news outlets.
If things go Trump’s way, the Post will need to offer more than another four years of denial and delusion.
Washington Post suggests Trump would REJECT a lost election… just like it’s been doing for YEARS! — RT Op-ed
Just so everyone knows. The above article is not from the Washington Post but from here.
RT (formerly Russia Today) is a Russian government-funded international television network.[5][6] It operates pay televisionchannels directed to audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Russian.
RT operates as a multilingual service with conventional channels in five languages: the original English-language channel was launched in 2005, the Arabic-language channel in 2007, Spanish in 2009, German in 2014 and French in 2017. RT America (since 2010),[7]RT UK (since 2014) and other regional channels also offer some locally based content.
RT is a brand of "TV-Novosti", an "autonomous non-profit organization", founded by the Russian news agency, RIA Novosti, on 6 April 2005.[1][8] During the economic crisis in December 2008, the Russian government, headed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, included ANO "TV-Novosti" on its list of core organizations of strategic importance of Russia.[9][10][11]
RT has been described as a propaganda outlet for the Russian government[12] and its foreign policy.[13][14][15][16][17][18] RT has also been accused of spreading disinformation[18][19][20] by news reporters,[21][22] including some former RT reporters.[23][24][25] The UK media regulator, Ofcom, has repeatedly found RT to have breached its rules on impartiality and on one occasion found it had broadcast "materially misleading" content.[26][27][28][29] RT's editor-in-chief compared it with the Russian Army and Defence Ministry and talked about it "waging the information war against the entire Western world."[5] In September 2017, RT America was ordered to register as a "foreign agent" with the United States Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Under the act, RT is required to disclose financial information to the U.S.[30]
