The new Woodward book is bad for Trump, but Republican-held state legislatures aren’t going to flip themselves. Let’s hit some today — I got a lot of requests for the the past week.
North Carolina State Democratic Party
Texas State Democratic Party
Wisconsin State Democratic Party
And my personal favorite
Dallas County Democratic Party (TX) and Tarrant County Democratic Party (TX)

I carry Mr. Cash everywhere I go. A 2001 complilation CD that I picked up a few years back was my introduction and I love it so much that I carry it on my iPhone. Driving home from work, I listen and enjoy.

Good old Meghan was on The View today spouting whatabouts and bothsides like a pinwheel.

@oatler.:
Did you see a pair of eyes roll past? I seem to be missing mine for the umpteenth time.

@oatler.:
Jesus Christ, why? Trump called her father a loser
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
Actually, I’ve been told that it will only strengthen his supporters’ adoration of him

Breaking: trumpov bragging about “saving MBS’ ass” back in 2018 after the Khashoggi killing.
That’ll probably help boost his poll numbers, right Lou Dobbs?
Baud
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):
Her father is gone and Trump is here.
Barbara
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): But she is married to a poster child of the right wing establishment. Just think, Meghan is the best The View can do to ensure it has some kind of conservative presence.

@Jeffro:
Not that I think Mr. Bone Saw is very popular with the more radical elements in Saudi-Arabia anyway, but being seen as even more beholden to America won’t help. (I don’t think he’s going to die of old age, so to say.)
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@Baud:
That’s pathetic and sad. Somebody should’ve “went there” and told her Dad would be disappointed in her
@Barbara:
That’s actually a good point. The Meghan McCains, the Bret Stephens, and the David Brooks of the world are the best mainstream outlets can do to represent a mainstream conservative POV and they’re still horrible

Just recently ran into a clip from “30 Rock” of a Janis Joplin imitator

and I bust a gut laughing.
Patricia Kayden
@oatler.: She’s why I don’t watch The View. She’s nauseating.

Fascinating history to this song. Didn’t know it was written by Kris Kristofferson of all people.

Ben Sasse now has a challenger, Preston Love Jr.

@Ascap_scab:
Prediction: Sasse will challenge Mr. Love to come work in a corn field for ten hours as a measure of his character.

@pluky: You didn’t???? Here’s some facts.

@Ascap_scab:
Write in? Really. Do freakin’ better Democrats. I know it’s Nebraska but you don’t win if you don’t try and running as a write in is not trying.

@pluky: Here’s the display of his fatigue short and such. at the Grammy Hall of Fame. You knew he was a chopper pilot, no?

I think if the press started asking who else in his administration knew how bad the virus was – and when.
He would throw them all under the bus as complicit in the coverup.

Is there a link for a donation that is split between all the close Senate races?
And another link for the close house races?

The shitgibbon’s Twitter account got hacked (by ethical hackers) a few weeks before the 2016 elections. Password: “yourefired”. I think we can safely assume that all private messages send to and from that account are known to any intelligence service that has interest in them

I just balanced the checkbook and we haven’t donated the entire T@#$% stimulus check yet, so here’s a donation for Texas in honor of Janis.

@Ocotillo:
The nominated candidate sent sexually offensive text messages about a campaign employee and refused to drop out. They’re likely just trying to make sure he doesn’t win.

Got a thing in the mail from the Lincoln Project. Not sure where they found my address. Anyway, a former SEAL attests to Fat Bastard’s cowardice (in a photo of him and Pootie).

No new threads for a while.
Has anybody here tried office progressive glasses?

@catclub: Lisa Murkowski was a singularly successful write-in candidate. She was Alaska state senate majority leader in 2002 when her father, U.S. Senator Frank Murkowski appointed her Senator. Frank Murkowski, after bringing home the federal bacon for a couple decades, had just been elected Alaska governor. Lisa Murkowski won election in her own right in 2004, but in 2010 a “tea party” candidate beat her in the Republican primary. Murkowski then ran and won as a write-in candidate, with strong backing from Native American Corporations and labor unions. In 2016 she easily won the republican nomination and the general election, probably because like her father, she effectively advances Alaskan interests.

@L85NJGT:
They’re trying to boost turnout. Nobody likes the current Dem candidate but he’s an asshole and, as you said, won’t drop out.
If they get more Omaha Dems to vote they’ve got a shot at a House seat and also, due to NE laws, a possible Elector for Biden.

@L85NJGT:
Waaaay too sophisticated for him.

Long time lurker here with a request. I live in a rural conservative district of Iowa . Governor Reynolds and the Iowa Legislature defy description, but our current status as one of the worst Covid hotspots in the country, the lack of a mask requirement, and the forced opening of urban school districts say enough.
Please consider a donation to Ivy Schuster. She is an amazing woman with what I believe to be a promising future in Iowa Politics.

Thank you for any donation you can make.

Can you make it easier to donate to four races at once? Without having to fill out the forms again?
Thanks.

@raven:
Yes I did. Army brat here who might have suffered similar disownment if it were not for EXTREME myopia. Sorry dad, West Point failed me on the physical! I think dad did flight school at Rucker a year or two after Kristofferson (62-63). My mother has nasty stories about what is like being the ranking spouse of my father’s class in dealing with the Officers’ Wives Club. Being black was a serious complication! For non-military types: Ft. Rucker is in Alabama.

@raven:
Thanks! I can only imagine how heartbreaking it was for KK to hear Janis’s take on this just after her passing.
