Sometimes the rumor mill has the goods. ICE showed up in several parts of Portland (Maine, duh) this morning. I saw video of one apprehension adjacent to the neighborhood ice cream shack and not far down the street from a middle and elementary school.

I hope my fellow Mainers are up for this.

So proud.

Old Doc Cassidy now knows that no past offense will ever be forgiven … unless a suitable exchange of millions takes place. Did he wet Trump’s beak after voting to impeach? No? After dithering on Madman Kennedy? Not there, either.
So of course he’s being primaried. By a woman who owes her legislative seat to COVID-19 killing the actual candidate, her husband. Down with vaccinations!

If Cassidy is considered a “normie” Republican, than I guess it’s true. They are all assholes. I don’t consider voting for RFK to be confirmed as a plus.

Are their viable Democrats in Louisiana - if not Cassidy should change his affiliation - and if he gets elected vote to impeach him again.
