Well bless her heart. According to McEnemy, the Republicans on that committee are all showing “complete disrespect” for American soldiers.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, the local newspaper editor is named Braxton Bragg Underwood. I just hit the part where Scout, as narrator, remarks, “Atticus said that naming people after Confederate generals made slow, steady drinkers.” I’ve always laughed before. This time, I roflmaoed.

Puh-leez, he still thinks he won the popular vote in '16. He still thinks his inauguration crowd was bigger than Obama’s. He still thinks he sees 100,000 people in a rally venue that hold 7,000.

He’s a sick fuck and this era only ends when he ends. Not when he’s out of office, when he ends. Supermax or six feet under, either works.

Give them 6 more weeks and they’ll all be campaigning on universal health care.

Even Greg Abbott sounds more like a Democrat every single day.

Yeah they can read polls.

His entire rally 'round the flag moment was that his disapproval dropped to 50% for the first time since Feb 2017. That’s as good as he’s ever gotten and that in a time of national crisis.

“I agree with the president that we don’t want to forget our history,”

That’s what history books are for. Do you need a monument to Osama Bin Laden to remember 9/11?

Also, GOP internal polling must be cataclysmic. They seem to be bucking Dotard left and right.
