    Would be a real shame if Clarence Thomas was hospitalized again if his wife is indicted for trying to overthrow the government.

    A real shame.

    it is incredible how much of a cult of personality the GOP is that you dare criticize Trump despite otherwise being a very principled conservative and then everyone in the party hates her

    That should be dangerous to you. You should be worried about that. Creating a culture where politicians can't ever investigate nor criticize other politicians potential wrongdoing is incredibly dangerous, and we've seen what's happened in other countries when that happens. And yet you and so much of your party is embracing it, that's scary. Go read a history book for all of our sakes

    Anytime an ideology has become based around worshipping a person rather than embracing certain ideals, it's led to bad things.

    And yet he's destroying his opponent in the polls because Republicans nominated an uncharismatic snake oil salesman who doesn't even live in the state

    Maybe there's a reason you can't get good candidates

    Watching Republicans criticize Fetterman when his opponent is one of the most disingenous carpetbaggers I've ever seen, clearly just running because he wants more money and power and not because he has any genuine beliefs, is really something

    But ignore me again and post more dumb memes

    For normal people, it is hard to fathom how people can support the MAGA, election denying, white Christian nationalist slate of candidates.

    As much as I would like to be optimistic, the reality is that a large, vocal part of the Republican Party wants more white, less brown/black, more Christian, less science, more straight, less gay. They believe america was better back then, and there is no problem with burning down the institutions. After all, the institutions aren’t worth anything if the country isn’t white/Christian/nationalist/straight American. And there is the feeling that this was their country for decades, and now it’s being taken away from them. They are being attacked, they are the victims, they are the oppressed patriots who must rise up to save the land.

    It is ridiculous. Ignorant. Bigoted. But that is what’s going on. Viewed from that lens, it is easier to understand what’s going on with the MAGA white Christian nationalist movement. I would love for someone to convince me that this is incorrect.

    Really do try to read. Maybe take a class. It’s never too late. She’s clearly not Ultra MAGA enough … doesn’t check the box of white nationalist straight gun toting Christian male.

    White failed to disclose purpose of some large retailer expenditures from campaign funds: FEC filing

    The report lists dozens of purchases totaling more than $10,000 at large retailers that included apparel, sporting goods and home goods stores without disclosing the purpose in his July 15 filing to the FEC.

    The report also fails to specify the recipient or reason for more than $50,000 in checks and wire transfers paid out of the campaign account.

    This tweet is the clearest example of Republican dick envy I ever saw.

    Inherited wealth? That's Trump's thing!
    Bad Health? Oh man is that Trump's thing!
    States Ban Fracking? That's not, oh wait, yes, yes it is...that's Trump's thing!

    Clownish Reality TV star from NYC metro area getting his ass kicked by some old white dude D from the mid-atlantic? **** yeah that's Trump's thing.

    Sorry to have taken your thing @Commodore

    Do you think any of that is a huge negative in Pennsylvania?
