As cynical as I’ve become, republicans still manage to surprise me.

Typical Republicans, gaming the system for partisan advantage. In the marketplace of ideas, they are bankrupt.

Would McCain leave office voluntarily before May 30? Or at all? I doubt it.

I agree, but the senator was home Monday at his family ranch near Sedona. doesn’t strike me as a long-term prognosis…

Senate vacancies are filled by a governor’s appointee, with the seat on the next general election ballot. Current law says his seat would be on this year’s ballot if he leaves office by May 30.

Something tells me he'll survive until May 31st.

Republicans are now drafting legislation that prohibits Democrats and Independents from voting in federal elections. This, of course, is legislation proposed by God who appeared to Billy Graham just before he died; God told Graham that the only way to bring about the rapture was to only allow republicans to vote in federal elections; since everyone knows that only republicans are moral people who should be entrusted with the serious task of governing. All of this was verified by Michele Bachmann and Ted Cruz, so it’s definitely true and glorious.

It’s like there’s no bottom to the Republican barrel.

Yes they are. But like many words “gay” and “literally” comes to mind, “patriot” does no longer mean what it used to if it ever did. “Christian” is another word in the same bucket.

All the patriots are being trotted around to sports venues, throwing t-shirts into the crowd and surprising unsuspecting family members.

“Hey you! What are you, a Commie?!?! Stand and applaud!! Louder!! That’s a bona fide hero out there!! Hey, somebody get an usher and security, we have a Commie in section 103!!”

Why would you even bother trying something like this?

Goppers never stop. They’re zombies, but instead of the brain that they seek, they think they are seeking a conscience or a soul or a moral center. But like any zombie, the very act of “realizing” their goal ends in the death of innocents.

They never stop grasping for the gold ring, they never stop trying to cement their power, they just never stop. And that’s the problem with the Democrats, we beat the republicans, win the White House, whatever, then we think our work is done. That’s why we suck at the midterms.

But not this time, people. Get out the vote, vote dammit. There are no good republicans, none. They are all wrong and misguided. None of them belong in elected office ever again. Doesn’t matter their values or beliefs, they wholeheartedly support the oligarchs, McConnell, Trump, fascists, racists, misogynists, the whole barrel of toxic sludge that is the GOP. Vote Democrat, or don’t vote.

Meghan has been flying home from NYC on weekends to be with him, too. (I only know that from a clip of the View I heard while listening to the Majority Report.)
