So a organizer and participant of the riot to overthrow the goverment. Anybody awake over at the DOJ?

“The state senator was subpoenaed by the congressional Jan. 6 Committee in February.”

I’d like to see a criminal referral for contempt of Congress thrown at him by the DOJ, you know, maybe mid-summer and have him sent to jail until he testifies.

It’s not the candidates I’m actually afraid of it’s the people who are voting for them.

I hope Josh is ready for all the anti-Semitic commentary that is headed his way. This is going to be real, real ugly.

“Prayer is the most powerful weapon system known to man." I think I recognize that. From Jesus’s Sermon from the Hatch of an M1A1 Abrams, wasn’t it? You know, that part of the Gospel right after Satan offers Jesus domination of the world, and Jesus says “Throw in a few dozen Predator drones and we’ve got ourselves a deal.”

Way too close

Makes ya wonder about the folks who vote for him. Is it reflex to vote for the incumbent or something else?
Would they actually vote for a guy who punches rotten trees, drives recklessly repeatedly on a bad license and whoops it up with booze and ladies while wearing ladies undies. And also commits the sin of blowing off powerful House Members offering to mentor him.

Mastriano should be a dram candidate for the Democrats…he’s loud and proud of his racism and theocratic motives, and won’t tone it down for the general election. A candidate like that should drag all of the Republican in PA down. He’s also going to be an indication of how deep the MAGA rot runs…if a candidate like that is close to Shapiro in the general, or even wins, then we’re really in deep trouble as a nation.

I guess so

That pretty much explains the R party.

So, at what point do we ask why Republicans hate America so much? What is it that the Republican Party has against democracy?

He rose like a electrified cretin on a winged wheelchair, failed to achieve orbit and crashed to earth like a piece of Russian space junk.

Wow. I wasn’t paying close attention to this primary, but holy shit Republicans, this is your party now.

(Obviously I know it’s been their party. But the lunatics and traitors are out in full force this round. Can’t wait to see how the media still finds a way to both-sides this!)

And yet the November election will be a close fought thing. When 40-45% of the population see lies, corruption and injustice as acceptable tools for “leveling the playing field”, horrors and unspeakable cruelty will surely follow.

I actually believe that this particular R candidate is awash with weaknesses, apart from the obvious ones.

The debates will be brutal, and, if anything, Shapiro should guard against overconfidence.

What irritates me about your post is nothing originating from you–we are allies–rather, what bothers me the most is that the percentages you allude to are skewed by laziness of fuckers on OUR side who neglect to vote.

That’s what happened in 2016. Or worse: “I just don’t LIKE Hillary.”

The Right faithfully troop down to the polls–even in wheelchairs and scooters…Sometimes I think some of our people need a free i-phone to vote.

Luckily, we did extremely well in 2018 and 2020.

But THIS election will either render Joe Biden weakened–coupled with a boost to the GQP coming for us in 2024 or get us back on the road to saving both our country and Planet
