A New Politics Thread

[ice grillin you]

that Herschel Walker, Mehmet Oz, and JD Vance are all running for high office at the same time and aren't getting run out of the building  is beyond depressing like Herschel in Georgia is one thing but three utterly incompetent cranial lumps running for statewide offices and not buried is not great for this pos country

This isn't MTG running in some gerrymandered backwards ass GA congressional district

I was doom and gloom losing sleep house/senate/trump/sc conservative majority, I'm pretty optimistic voters realize the candidates the gqp are throwing out there are complete trash and the Dems can hold the senate.

The only solace so far in that is that all three are behind in the polls. You'd like to think that their doors would be blown off but overcoming that MAGA chuds is tough. If you took a shtein in a box, put a red hat on it and put it on the ballot they'd vote for it.

The GOP goons farged around and found out regarding the Pact Act.  It just passed 86-11.  The 11 who voted nay?  ALL GOP including Mitt Romney.

The other usual band of despicables also voted Nay.  Here's hoping they all suffer long cancerous illnesses as their reward.

this is how ghoulish republicans are....its not even going to be a close vote in farging kansas

and these animals are still about "protecting life"

Let them keep stepping on their dicks. The wave of women who are pissed will end them this fall (hopefully).

The US strike on al-Zawahiri amazes me. The moral of the story: don't be on the wrong end of a Hellfire missile. "Precision guided" doesn't begin to tell the story. Apparently they used a rare version that doesn't have a warhead. Instead of an explosion it has blades that radially spring out like spokes on a wheel, so that if the tip doesn't deliver a head-on knockout, you still end up as a julienne sliced product. He was taken out on his balcony but the people inside were fine.

This was literally the first strike the U.S. has made in Afghanistan since the withdrawal.  Dude was hardly in hiding.  Thought he was safe, and the Americans were gone, I guess.

Dems backed the MAGA candidate in Colorado to a win over the moderate guy who actually was one of the few Rs who voted to impeach. 

It'll probably backfire because we suck at politics but I give them props for at least being creative for once.

This is farging delicious. I have a raging Justice boner.

Gotta love discovery.  It's the FAFO tonic that motherfargs like Jones need in fatal doses.

christ sometimes you are spot on

what's with horse racing and the journalism-elite crowd?

the dc media is almost worse than the people who actually work in dc...none of them actually care about the country or making it better. they just want drama. they want copy, they want stories, they want shtein to write about, and constant parlor games about close elections is the easiest form of that.

its how you go from being a ghoulish looking reporter to a handsome man with a cnn show, election night seat and 8 figure contract. theyre all trying to be tapper

think of this way...a very common capitol hill source is tucker carlson. so theyre all like vultures feeding off him for information one second then quietly going about their business as he digs further into being a white supremacist leader in the next.

They're all click whores. Even Philly fan Tapper.

I haven't paid attention to the Colorado thing. So the dems backed a MAGA? And Tapper and the like aren't happy about it?
