Hey, Colorado!
Remember not that long ago when Colorado was mostly a red state.
Do you remember the local Ds acting all arrogant but weirdly loserish? We had the better candidate, a great canddiate! We'll get 'em next time!
Arizona needs your help.
Lamon (seriously pronounced "lame-en") is in the bizarre mix of R primary loons for the US Senate. He has come up with the cheddar to run a Superbowl ad. In it, he simulates shooting Senator Kelly and other political opponents.
Recall it was then astronaut Kelly's wife, Gabrielle Gifford who was "targeted" in a notorious tv ad and then was shot with 18 others in a grocery store meeting.
AZ D's are still living in a mostly red state and see the world through the filter of decades of second class citizenry.. Red state D's need to know – it is not ok to lose. Winning matters more than any consolation from taking the high road.
If you can, move to AZ before next summer (90 days before the first week of October preferred) and organize or other wise help remind AZ D's that they have one job this year. Just one.
Same goes for Georgia – of course. But unless the self identified mentally health challenged R front runner withdraws (he or his alter ego might) that is a different fight.
I do remember, and I also lived in California when it was turning from purple to blue. I don't think it has much to do with changing minds or even running perfect campaigns (though you can ruin your chances with a bad one). It has to do with changing the electorate. Either the people eligible to vote change (people move in or leave, or turn 18 or die) or people who don't usually vote are convinced to vote. It is only the latter that can be affected by a party.
In other words, all GOTV, all the time. See Georgia.
Thanks for the invite, I’ll be on the way.
Can you find your way from Canada? How's the strike going?
Governments are on the razors edge when they start fucking with truck drivers. Trucks off the road for 3 days and your grocery store will be empty. You will be ok because you can eat the hemp you grow, but what about “the children”?
Eh ?
Truckers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains ! (your tire chains no doubt)
Interesting how Democratic governors are now starting to rescind their mask mandates.
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
Canadian authorities have been blind-sided because the right-wing is willing to break the rules. That was the lesson from Trump's sociopathy. Bitch slap the mayor of governor and challenge them to respond.
I think they should start seizing the trucks and cars being used in the blockade. Put them in compounds and wait for the slow wheels of justice to determine if they've been used in criminal activity.
A big-rig is a hell of a lot more expensive than a bicycle.
But, what will “the truckers” eat, Pfruit? . . .
. . . Have you forgotten, “Man does not live by
breadtruck stop beef jerky and Flaming Hot Cheetos, alone.”???If the trucker’s blockade happens in Cali and DC, it will probably reflect what’s happening in Canada now- a lot of blaring horns and “patriotic” posturing, , signifying nothing.
Very few protesters are left at the Ottowa camp, and the Canadian Trucking Alliance says that 90% of the protesters have no connection to the trucking industry, per link in Michael’s post, but the right wing commentators and foreign trolls are milking it for all it’s worth.
If the protesters and blockades become a real threat to public safety in a Super Bowl / State of the Union protest, the National Guard or other entities should be called in to disperse them. DHS is already on the case.
“Very few of the protesters have any relation to the trucking industry”.
This an agit-prop operation organized by extreme (i.e. fascist) right-wing groups. It has the thumbprint of Steve Bannon all over it”
“Throw everything against the wall and see to what sticks.”
As Obama said, "Please continue sir". The portestors are screwing with popular opinion. Zack Beuchamp at vox points out that they are EXTREMELY unpopular.
Can't you just picture Laura Ingram and Tucker Carlson driving an 18-wheeler? It will resemble Michael Dukakis in the tank.
Geez Pfermented Pfruit, don't you realize children can consume hemp?
Union heads in Canada, including the Teamsters, have stated that 95% plus of Canadian truckers aren't standing in solidarity with the a-hole blockaders.
You may be amused to read a Canadian's fact check on the Canadian "truckers" strike
Fact check: Debunking false claims about the Canadian convoy protests
By Daniel Dale, CNN Updated 7:03 AM ET, Wed February 9, 2022
* Canadian journalists put the number of trucks in the hundreds in late January. Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly told reporters on January 31 that it was impossible to provide exact crowd-size figures but that he had "heard" numbers as high as 18,000 total demonstrators — not just truckers — present in the city at the peak of the protest on January 29.
and tonight … apparently the "demonstration" has alienated Conservative Doug Ford
and a local judge has granted an injunction;
What could happen?
Does Kyle Rittenhouse have any relatives in Ottawa??? . . .
Haven't read any type of prophecy in a long time, but I seem to remember that a Universal Designated Hitter rule was a sign of the apocalypse…
We are in the end times. Aluminum bats and $10 hot dogs await us.
Aluminum bats are the work of the devil.
So are designated hitters
True dat!
Democracy. Pass it on.
Republicans pass tax cuts for the rich and send our jobs to china. Democrats do nothing to repeal the policy. One party is responsible, the other complicit. No Democrat or republican deserves re-election.
NO ONE got anything they wanted except the rich and they do all they can to keep it that way.
Republicans & Democrats pass tax cuts for the rich and send our jobs to china. Democrats & Republicans do nothing to repeal the policy. Both parties are responsible, and complicit. No Democrat or Republican deserves re-election.
NO ONE got anything they wanted except the rich and they do all they can to keep it that way.
So what are you going to do about it?
Hey…Knucklehead….
If your aren't going to use a quotation box, at least use quotation marks. Not doing so is terribly bad form. You have enough problems, does bad grammar have to be one of them?
Yeah. You know, pnasty, the last guy who was President passed that tax cut for the rich back in 2017. Raised taxes on the rest of us.
Also, you lament that the rich are the only ones getting what they want and want to keep it that way, yet you seemed totally cool with that in the past.
To quote you:
Sen Michael Bennet has a progressive primary challenger.Finally someone willing to stand up to the right wing failed record of Bennet and his corporate corruption.
Karen Breslin will get my support at the dem caucus so we can get her on the primary ballot against bank owned property like Bennet. It's a long shot but our best hope.
At least I will be able to vote for a progressive democrat in the primary. I was planning on not voting at all for senate or house in the general election as dems offered nothing to vote for.
Good for you, Trumper Girl. You get a week's free sliders at Shitter's Grill for your false flagging operation.
Now, go back to selling Amway, your quota is off.
She is channeling Dusty Puppy, James Dobbs or one of the other Jilliots who occasionally come in here, make some noise, and leave.
