My good god, we should be even MORE willing to lock corrupt Dems away, not looking for reasons to shrug off their crimes.

Yes, it's a large population, and they've been around a while. And it's a vibrant community, owning small businesses, opening restaurants … I'm so digusted by this upswell of official bigotry targeted at this group of people.

Given these tsk-tsky postmortems as though what we saw tonight was something other than a major overperformance in a seat designed for Republican victories in all conditions.

Ohhhkay this took a strangely personal and negative turn. I'll just say, I've loved biking trails on western Michigan and noted that they double as snowmobile trails. The trails I bike here do not. That's an important distinction to me regarding volume of frozen precipitation. But to each their own.

Ohio is a hell of a lot more urban than you give it credit for and I personally think the biking here (trails and rural roads) is phenomenal. I'm also sick of our backwards gerrymandered legislature. Michigan is absolutely charming and even Detroit is getting better but I can do without all the snow

Yeah, I don't actually care about that primary like at all, but it seems that the very small excerpt you shared is talking about issues facing the USA, presented in the context of issues that affect the world generally. Seems appropriate for a member of Congress to care about, no?

Well, the charge was "right-leaning" and not "right wing," but you're right that the Fox poll has consistently been trustworthy and even and doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the likes of Trafalgar

I hate that I have to doubt everything the Trump DoJ contends, but if these charges are true, she needs to be out of office permanently.

I'm increasingly convinced that one of the many problems of one-party rule for so long is that the party in power runs out of legislative ideas but not out of bad intent, so the legislation gets progressively stupider as time goes on.

The further we get from the awful things our current regulatory state was made to end, the more with think the current regulatory state is overly burdensome. It's like looking at a dam with a tranquil pool behind it and concluding that the dam is doing nothing because the water is so calm.

The editorial board realizes that mayors hire people with, like, MPAs and stuff to run executive departments. Right?

He's a video! That's what probably concerns me most--how easily so many of us have our minds made up/manipulated by a stirring campaign announcement video.

While at the exact same time, we must not point to inflation in Biden's first year and note that it had anything to do with what immediate came before.

Well before Obergefell, some students at the school where I work organized a pro-marriage march (can't remember the specific catalyst). A visiting faculty member took the mic and confused the crowd when she slammed marriage as a chattel institution. I think she was opposed to marriage, period?

Once again, since leaving Twitter, I'm only reminded that Nate Silver exists whenever somebody shares a screenshot of one of his tweets, which tells me that the weird little dude only exists on Twitter, while somehow still fancying himself as relevant.
