People need to pay more attention to this.

I'm posting a few very long, data-filled, and thoughtful articles recently written by two of my favorite political pundits: Ron Brownstein and Stan Greenberg. The themes of the two are similar. Mostly, it's very good news for Democrats. I'm not very worried about the Democrats losing, like I was in 2012 and 2016. This is going to be more like 2008, I think. That said, I feel none of the joy that I did in 2008. Maybe COVID-19 and a recession and death has something to do with it. But this does not feel like it is going to be a fresh beginning. It feels more like survival. Like we escaped a close brush with death. If anything, what I'm worried about now…

Well, we know one person nominated, Mayor (gay) Pete, you remember him, right ? The nerdy cute guy that ran against Biden for the Presidency. Now tapped (not THAT way) by Biden for Transportation Secretary.... And low and behold, a debate and criticism of his QUALIFICATIONS for the job has spilled over onto "the other site", where the critics (and obvious Trump nazis) are ripping him for NOT being qualified. To me , that's a laugh riot, considering NONE of Trumps cabinet had ANY qualification for their position other than they were either his spawn, his loyalists or his donors. So assholes, spare your criticism and direct it to where it belongs, th…

Holy shit, how far he fell! And my new favorite Christmas song, Rudolph the Leaky Lawyer:

He Predicted Trump's Win In 2016. Now He's Ready To Call 2020. I couldn't resist commenting on this. I've been waiting for this shoe to drop. And now it has. Allan Lichtman, "the prediction professor", says President Toxic is going to lose. It's locked and loaded, he says, if you watch the nicely produced seven minute video above. The caveats he adds are that Trump will try to change the outcome with voter suppression. And Putin will, too, with Round Two of "fuck up democracy good" election interference. But history is against President Toxic and his hate and racism. Maybe MLK was right after all. There are people who think that Lichtman is selling snake…

Michigan voters file federal lawsuit seeking to toss 1.2M ballots Rudy Giuliani claims 650,000 votes were counted unlawfully in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Those headlines speak for themselves. It is just surreal. Call me stupid. But as much as I feel Trump has proven he is racist, deplorable, go through the whole list of negative adjectives, this is going way past where I thought he'd go. If only because I really didn't think he was willing to hurt America this much. Or, more important, destroy his own reputation further. Both in the history books, and right now. I have to assume he has some calculation in his mind that somehow this helps him in some wa…

Already hard at work.... FOR THE REPUBLICANS.... As it shuts down Gov Cuomos request to limit attendance in NYC houses of worship amid SOARING Covid-19 numbers... Good work guys ! Next up: Box vs Henderson, and discrimination against the rights of same sex PARENTS..... You know they'll pass that shit...those Repuglican assholes just love that shit against Gays ! Amy Conjob Barrett is doing EXACTLY what we knew she would, putting her personal views BEFORE the law.... And Kavanaugh went right along, just licking her pussy the whole time....

OH miss Lindsey, what have you done now? If living in a closet wasnt bad enough, now you add election Tampering to the list.... And you arent even a Georgia resident. Gurl, what were you thinking ? Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday that Republican leaders such as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have been putting pressure on him to exclude legal ballots in order for President Trump to be declared the winner and earn the state's 16 electoral votes. Bitch is there no limit to what you would do to RIM Trumps fat ass ??? And WHY ??? Where are the crys for "LockHimUp" now , huh ??? This whole election thing has turned into anoth…

NO PROBLEM..... you'll still receive a Presidential PARDON.... Case in point: convicted political criminal Michael Flynn, closely affiliated with criminal TRUMP....... FULL pardon today..... Sure does prove that Trump is the President of Law & Order, in other words he has no regard or respect for Law & Order..... Trump continues to SHOW us who he is.....a Sham, a fraud, a con man. Those 73 million people that voted for him need to SEE it....

2020 Democrats fared poorly down ballot, but we're winning the fight for fair election maps Democrats will have much greater influence over redistricting in the coming decade than in the last one, despite state legislative losses this month. As a Democrat, I found that article encouraging. It's of course supposed to be encouraging, because it's in part propaganda written by someone with the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. But the arguments make sense, and reinforced these things I've been thinking all week. It is interesting that after spending much of 2020 freaking out that it would be another 2016 and Trump would win, Democrats have done…

Dixville Notch NH has voted, and the big day is finally here. I thought it would be interesting & fun to post thoughts, reactions, highs & lows as election results come in.

Daddy on the other site is carefully over the moon about the record amount of early voting Here in Eastern Pennsylvania it does seem to be good news for the Democratic Party which makes me very happy. However, Daddy and his strong swing to Biden, is often laced with strong advocate pitches for third parties. How is Biden doing in Central Pennsylvania? Or in Erie or Sharon, near Youngstown, Ohio? Early voting does nessarilly mean Trump will lose unfortunately

The Judge talks a good game, and is exceptional smart. Too bad she was nominated by President Trump. We know Trump greatly dislikes the Affordable Care Act and Roe v. Wade. He wouldn't have nominated Judge If she didn't agree with him (,I am bringing it up here because bigjoey thankfully does not post on this site).

The Guardian view on the 2020 US electionsIt’s time to dump Trump.

Trump was angry from the beginning, charging Biden wouldn't be asked these questions. Again saying we have turned the corner on covid. Exhausting to watch

The president has covid, and likely a very serious case of covid19. Only a few people know when he tested positive, leaving many people concerned (not just the folks at the Any Barrett Supreme Court announcement which was outdoors and indoors). His doctor quotes the president as "feeling great." Good to know

I wouldn't be here if I was doing better in the polls.

The Michigan Governor was a kidnapping target and Trump has his fans yell lock her up! Fucking madman

Do you think most of Biden votes are being cast with the HOPE that Comma-la will take over the Presidency in the next 4 years ? Although I like Biden 1 million percent better than Trump, I was not enthused by his grabbing the nomination, and was hoping for a much younger candidate with fresh, new ideas . Comma-la's addition to the ticket did give me a bit more enthusiasm, and I was thinking, "she COULD actually become President".... Thoughts ?????

Love this response to the question, imagine if Hunter Biden's last name were Palin, Bush, or Trump!

This was interesting too. 5 takeaways from the Amy Coney Barrett hearings https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/14/amy-coney-barrett-hearings-takeaways-429547

What a great film! Being a fan of President Obama, I loved this movie even more. WH photographer Pete Souza's film is a documentary of Obama and of being the photographer for Obama as well as for Reagan. The times what they are, I post this under Politics. Yes, it does cast shade on what came after, but that is just one piece of a comprehensive look at the times of Pete Souza and of the Obama's.
