Today is National Tango Day.
Today is Trump Stinks Day. Every day is Trump Stinks Day!
This wonderful snow is putting me in the holiday spirit, so I believe there are tree ways to describe Mr. Trump…
STINK
STANK
STUNK !
That is fantastic !
I'm just now getting to this and I laughed so hard, I startled my poor Schroedinger kitty.
I wonder what AOC and the rest of the Mod Squad could teach Joe Biden about what it takes to win in a place like Georgia……
Transition Highlights: Biden Warns ‘Defund the Police’ Slogan Could Hurt Democrats in Georgia Runoff Races – The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Debate among yourselves. I need to get to work.
Whatever their advice would be it would damn sure be better than dump's 'Guidelines to Voting in a Pandemic'.
He flipped the state all by himself. Winning.
The answer is clear.
They should admit Biden is trying to steal the election. They should advocate respect for 2nd amendment solutions now!
They should express admiration for Eisenhower and Reagan and especially Trump.
They should belittle Representative Ocasio Cortez AOC with diminutive nicknames and lump her in with other Representatives and progressive leaders who are women of color and more progressive than the current Georgia republican candidates.
They should cower from the human rights issues of our day and advocate tax cuts as the solution for every problem.
To take your question seriously…
One thing they could teach is that $15 minimum wage is so popular that Florida voted for it by 60%. That would be a good campaign issue in Georgia.
The thing is many socialist ideas are popular:
Child Labor laws
Social Security
Medicare
Super Highways
Obamacare
FDA
Public Schools
State Universities
etc.
Notice that in the 2020 elections the DSA doubled their representation in the US House (from 2 to 4). Socialist labeled candidates can and did win in urban districts, not rural Georgia.
Socialist labeled candidates can and did win in urban districts, not rural Georgia
On something we agree. I would take it a step further and say that it may win in urbans districts, but not in rural or suburban districts.
Democratic Socialists doubled their numbers in the US House.
One of the new members, Cori Bush, began her political activism and career after the murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO. So, in a way, Darren Wilson has played an expanding role in the movement as well.
Yes, they went all the way from four to eight. h/t
But they have a long way to go to match the success record of their fringe opposite, the Tea Party, which took control of the GOP in essentially one election cycle.
It is true that geographic sorting along with heavy gerrymandering permits a 51% majority to win primaries. Republicans are strongly ideological, and (old, white) rural areas have outsized influence. Democrats are much more of a coalition, so it there is more diversity of thought.
Why is the TP the 'fringe opposite' of DSA?
Equivocation is a specialty of our goodfriend R&R. In guitar parlance, R&R believes it works like harmonics. That is, a tone played is the same, depending on its distance from the center, or twelfth fret.
But politics isn't semitones.
Dec 4:
Pelosi, Clyburn Announce Opening of Joseph Rainey Exhibition
Kevin McCarthy and Tim Scott will have a "conversation".
The Far Right is the Democrats' Finest Asset
News today: the Republican attorney generals of Idaho and Ohio have declined to join the Texas lawsuit against the four battleground states.
Noteworthy comment from conservative columnist, Charlie Sykes, on The Bulwark dot com: (paraphrased) with the lawsuit, Republicans no longer believe in federalism or states rights.
. . . or democracy, or the rule of law, or conservatism,
. . . or really much of anything else (except for fealty to oligarchs and autocrats).
Gee whiz, finally, it’s like what Duke and I have been telling you here for years.
(btw, it wasn’t just with this lawsuit, however.)
Power. They definitely believe in power.
No Compromise. They definitely believe in exercising power without compromise or coalition.
…and the deficit..OMG…what about that? In 4 years, they haven’t mentioned the word.
It reflects the ideological bankruptcy of the Republican party, and the “conservative” movement. The reason they adopted “L’ Enfant Terrible” was they didn’t care about his morals or his ethics…just all the “winning” he promised.
Federalism? States rights?
umm,…. that has been true for some time now.
Like your delusional description of real conservatism in a recent post.
As an aspirational description -fine.
You believing you are part of a Republican party that means what you want it to based on the evidence of McConnell, Trump, Pence, and the rest is just delusional.
Name one Republican US Senator or House Rep that voted against the debt exploding Republican proposals.
Bonus if you can include one that didn't also complain long and loudly about any debt increasing D proposal.
Captain Junnuh : This is starting to get embarrassing.
Bagger Vance: Oh, no sir… this has been embarrassing for some time now
Another option — if the elections are so problematic, at least the 16 signatories from the questionable states to the Amicus petition to the Supreme Court ought not be seated. I'd prefer all those who signed not be seated, creating a 222 to 106 Democratic majority in the House. Once the Presidential votes are opened and acknowledged by the House, THEN the 106 signers can be sworn in.
While it is obvious to pint out the hypocrisy of the signers – denying the decision of the electoral process that put them in their seats, it does not do any good. These frat boys are just out for a lark …. owning the libs.

And the total went up. As of an hour ago, Yahoo news had the list, and said "More than 120 of the 196 Republican members of the House of Representatives have signed their names to an amicus brief."
Jonathon Goldberg via Brad DeLong:
If SCOTUS does decide to entertain Paxton's lawsuit and they rule in his favor then we could have a national referendum on McConnell.
There are a few interesting findings by a persistent election analyst looking at Kentucky.
Such as?
Note that Scott Tipton didn't add his name to this list. A belated finding of spine?
More than likely it’s about what he couldn’t find, . . .
. . . his crayon box?
More likely, "don't care anymore" as an ex-Congress Critter (see: Gardner, Cory)
That makes sense. Tipton is quite conservative but stops short of the lamborn-buck burn down the mission crowd. That's why two-gun Tootsie targeted him.
Apologize if this is a repetitive post. (heads be splodin’ on FuxNews)
