Where are the protests against Greg Abbott, Texas Republicans and the rest of the Republican Party for encouraging this?

^ I don't think their base cares beyond meaningless platitudes. Pretty sure about this actually.

I saw a brief video clip of Biden last night defending Israel. It really sucks that we are left
with such an awful binary choice as Biden/tRump. Speaking of le Orange, I fully expect he
is as awful (IMO) as Biden when it comes to middle east policies. Empathy ain't his thing
particularly for non-white non-Christians.

I was thinking the other day about how Biden's policies aren't that much different than Hillary Clinton's. Main difference being Biden has charisma and she has like, whatever the opposite of charisma is. Saw a clip of her the other day being very dismissive of young voters who sided with Palestine. Like, wtf. If this is literally the election that will save America from tilting into autocracy, why are you dismissive of one of the core groups of voters that helped you win the last one? Maybe swallow your pride and admit you're wrong, for the future of democracy?

Her friends might want to consider that many will judge them by the company they are keeping.

Gotta wonder what the median level of thoughtfulness is in her congressional district.

Well Trump is arguing for Presidential immunity so a kill order is completely within Biden’s authority

You have to remember you’re not voting for a savior you’re voting for someone to either fix things like Obama and Biden when they came into office or build on the positives of the previous President (Hillary/Gore). Hillary would have been a fine President, just like Biden is fine. You’ve seen the damage and chaos of four years of Trump, I have no idea why Americans would want to go back to that. Women have lost their rights, the Supreme Court is lost for generations, your children are less safer, environmental rights were gutted, the man literally tried to attempt a coup… people need to smarten up

You cannot say anything bad about Golfy McBonespurs on the House floor no matter
how factual. Facts like he's on trial and is facing multiple indictments are prohibited.

This AL congressman (Jerry Lee) I almost feel sorry or embarrassed for. He seems to have difficulty
reading out loud in public.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Thomas would like to return to the time before the 60s or even 50s.
The one exception to that is he presumably opposes laws against miscegenation.

I’m convinced this is a long con to get his marriage invalidated without going through divorce proceedings

truth be told....oops, never mind

PS also never mind the law & order or natl security party or fiscal responsibility party.
As per the title of Stuart Stevens book, it was all a lie, or to be charitable, it was all
marketing.

He's always offered himself as a transactional kind of guy, but one who may
may not honor his agreements if he thinks he can get away with blowing them off.
