The Republican lawmaker also said he wanted to punch Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) in the face over his COVID-19 policies if he ever encountered the governor in person.

Honestly, if I were Governor Evers I’d grab my a couple of reporters, start talking about bipartisanship, and take them for a walk to say hello to all the State Reps, starting with this guy.

Not only us pulling folks out of Ukraine, also the UK.

There’s really no underestimating the potential for this to get really bad now, things like pulling non-essential folks and family members just isn’t something that happens in peaceful places like Kyiv.

Also happening - Rolling Stone exclusive. Not only fraud, but one of those involved is running for Secretary of State and would oversee elections.

Those outside investigators remain active in the growing movement to find fraud in the 2020 election. What’s more, one state lawmaker included on the emails, Mark Finchem, is now running for secretary of state in Arizona. If Finchem wins, he would oversee Arizona’s elections.

Absolutely - Evers should stop hiding and take a little walk down the street.

  • Lujan Grisham has no prior experience in education , but she told CNN that there aren’t any other options.

At this point, no one wants the schools to shut down anymore, so what other options are there?

Palin is suing the outlet over a 2017 editorial that connected the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords (AZ) to a map distributed by Palin’s super PAC.

It would be nice if the correct outcome can happen, based on a true connection to the shooting, but I’m afraid this is going to be another protected speech case, which will be a victory for the Right to continue threatening the Left without consequence.

Back in the day, really the 1970s, my mom’s brother was with the Foreign Service and was stationed in Dacca, which was Pakistan at the time, but was in the transition to Bangladesh. The war was starting to heat up and much of the embassy staff was sent out of the country. My uncle was left behind to protect the embassy, but his wife was sent to Thailand for the duration.

The letters back home to my mom were something to read. They were generally written as he hid behind the refrigerator during mortar attacks.

  1. The actions of the Youngkin administration should surprise . . . absolutely no one.

  2. Good for URI for revoking Rudy’s and Flynn’s honorary degrees. Now if I could just get a “yes” to my requests for Yale Law School to say something - anything - about Josh Hawley and Stewart Rhodes. The answer is “no” for both of them. I kinda, sorta understand the reticence about saying a mean thing about a sitting US Senator, but Rhodes is something else.

Oh, and don’t forget DeathSentence and his ban on hurting whites’ feelings about racism. Call it CRT and cancel the civil rights presentation to teachers. They wanted to review, and possibly edit, his presentation first.

Palin was a public figure at the time. The impact of her targeting piece is a matter of opinion. There is no way she wins this case. She was one of the first to start the legitimization of violent imagery in Republican circles. She thought she would get nuisance value money from the newspaper. Didn’t happen.

I hope you’re right, but with the way some courts are being run these days, I don’t have as much hope as I should.

Virginia voted this individual in, so they should not be surprised. Did they think he was a moderate Republican, as if that even exists anymore?
