Trump stinks!
Great God Almighty.
Trump stinks.
Stay upwind, America.
Oh, my stars and garters! Lindsey Graham may just have to find a fainting couch.
Democrat Jaime Harrison challenges Graham for Senate seat.
This video plays; the Twitter one doesn’t for some reason:
You go, guy!
Congressman Clyburn had a pre-announcement reception for Jaime last week and I had the opportunity to meet him personally and hear his life story. If there is anyone that is the antithesis of Ms. Lindsay, it's Jaime. Our Senate would be well-served with him as a member.
Kamala Harris did well in her msnbc town hall last night. Dare we hope for a saviour who hasn't been on medicare for a decade?
Keep on truckin', Kamala. Another check is on the way.
I thought you were on Team Klobuchar!
Amy has been my main squeeze. I sent her $50 twice. But kamala was my number two and she's showing more momentum. So, we sent her $50 and will match that soon.
they are both great but I just want a winner. I'd even vote for biden over Stinky Boy. If disaster strikes and we nominate Bernie, I'probably even vote for him, then move to Borneo.
amy is the cooler head and has a more moderate perspective, but Kamala is the better campaigner so far. Right now, my wife and I are content to back them both and let the debates, Iowa and New Hampshire sort them out.
I turn 74 tomorrow, so this is probably my last chance to see a woman president. But nothing, nothing, is more important than beating Donald Demented. I just don’t think America can survive eight years of fascism with democratic values intact. Trump is Stalin with bad hair.
"Trump is Stalin with bad hair."
Nope. Mussolini.
Reasonable people can disagree on whether Trump is Stalin or Mussolini. But we are all agreed on the bad hair thing.
And the stanky stank.
Mayor Michael Hancock apologizes for comment about suggestive texts as officer accuses him of “telling additional lies”
But at least Hancock is a fun guy at parties. Isn't that what we all look for in a mayor?
Between equal adults, this might be innocent, fun and flirty. But he was her boss! Or if not in her direct chain of command, as Mayor, he would have some influence over her evaluations, her promotions, etc.
I've been in that position, of having coworkers/ bosses come on to me, and it is not fun (really uncomfortable) to decide how to respond. Treat it like nothing weird happened, laugh it off, lie and say you're in a committed relationship, simply say, "No, I don't think of you that way?" All of those have risks and consequences.
This has been mostly men harassing women as a power dynamic, because men mostly are in those supervisory, powerful positions. In the education world, every year, there are cringe-worthy examples of teachers (male and female) becoming involved sexually with students.
It's not that difficult. Don't come on sexually to people you work with. Don't come on sexually to people you supervise. Don't come on sexually to people where there is a gross power imbalance because of age, status, or whatever. If Hancock doesn't get this, he shouldn't be Mayor.
It also goes to his overall attitude towards women in general. Eight years ago, voters (including me) gave Hancock the benefit of the doubt regarding a late-breaking scandal over his name appearing in prostitution ring's client list.
