    The Rs are showing who they are. Best we pay close attention.

    If there is a Great Big Blue Tsunami this fall, this will be the source ... pissed off suburban women who do not want themselves, their sisters, their friends, their daughters, their nieces, their granddaughters, etc. treated like **** by old rich white men

    Texas Republicans push death penalty for women who get abortions and IVF

    Maybe they should resurface Ted Cruzs remarks on the matter a month before election and make him debate himself.

    I don't even know who the Dem stiff running for Senate is by now, so it might as well be Ted's shadow...

    It's Representative Collin Allred who represents a district in the Dallas area.. I've seen some polls showing he is doing well but it's very early and there were polls showing Beto beating Cruz and even polls showing that Biden might win TX in 2020. I'll believe that Democrats can win a statewide race in TX when I see it.

    Trump instigates violence by posting that kind of stuff, like he's proud of his so called Patriots. They aren't Patriots to anyone but him. He encouraged the sickos of his cult to keep doing that stuff, simply because they wave Trump flags, and praise and cheer that psychopath. It's just like him playing the National Anthem and dedicating it to his "Trump terrorists" he calls Patriots. The insurrectionists he watched threatening to kill his own Vice President. He really is a sick and twisted person unfit to serve this country. He promises pardons to those types, yet threatens political opponents or others with persecution. It's scary. That's one of many differences between Biden and Trump. Biden doesn't rally up his supporters and give them orders or encouragement to harm, threaten, or inflict violence on others.

    No I'm entitled not to vote for either. Just because Trump is garbage that doesn't mean I'm voting for garbage in Biden.

    You've already made your mind up then. I went out of my way to provide you with pertinent information on the Biden admin and the laws the shepherded through. If you still believe they are the same then that's that.

    How many of these Federalist Society SCOTUS judges did Cruz vote for? All.

    **** his remarks. Given his voting record, Cruz will continue to fill the federal benches with judges who want to roll back society to the 1950s ... or to the 1850s ... or to the 1750s.

    The current abortion drug case before the SCOTUS is seeing Alito and Thomas trying to revive the 1873 Comstock Act, which makes mailing of abortifacients illegal. The conservatives on the SCOTUS appear to have a clear vision of using the Comstock Act for legislating from the bench, while S3 14A of similar age does not suit them. There is a very thin line between abortifacients and birth control in conservatives minds. Given that the conservative judges want to re-litigate Griswold, outlawing birth control is within their sights.

    Conservatives in the Senate and the House who are on the ballot must be held accountable for the current state state of affairs wrt abortion. Them saying taht they will or will not vote for this or that is just a dodge, if they keep sending Federalist Society nominees to the federal courts.

    The worst types of people are folks like @GOATuve who know that trump is a grave danger to this country and he belongs in prison but somehow have deluded themselves into thinking somehow biden is just as bad cuz hes old.

    Americans are so utterly braindead stupid that its just fascinating to watch.

    Summary: Michigan representative Matt Maddock welcomes Gonzaga basketball team to the NCAA tournament being held in his own state by calling them illegal invaders, then doubled down on the fact checkers by calling them “Kommies” and blaming the “Fake News” Media for showing him how much of an absolute clown he is.

    Texans don't keep count of votes, they only pay attention to the scoreboard and the screaming pundits who tell them what it means.

    That's why the Lincoln Project was so effective 4 years ago
