Tom Perez has been heard


"The Democratic Party will stand up for women and for what is right. Public service is a public trust," Perez said in the statement at the time. "If you are a candidate for office or an elected official who has engaged in sexual misconduct, you should step aside – whether you sit in the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, or the Oval Office."

If only you cared a tenth this much about your candidate.

But you don't. You're just a partisan guttersnipe.

Trump told the governors to "seriously consider" reopening their schools.

It's a good thing he said that, because I am sure otherwise they would never have given it serious consideration!

Hard to keep track of what got posted less than 20 minutes earlier.

Damn media hypocrites.

I've looked and I can't find one post from Kid condemning Trump after the latter's confession to sexual assault.

Given Kid's inability to remember/notice what transpired so recently, it is perhaps no wonder that VP Pence so clearly misremembers what he said and seemed to mean ~50 days ago.

Easier to lie about it, I suppose, than to admit that they simply failed to deliver what they promised.

There are a few reasons Trump wasn't my candidate.

You can hit me on Bridgegate all day.  Trump's shenanigans with women are reprehensible.  Kind of like half the guys I knew in college.

Thanks for the link


Ironically, outside of gender, Democrats struggle to embrace the electoral power of descriptive representation (i.e., identity politics) when it comes to candidate recruitment; however, Republicans have long understood the benefits of recruiting and running minority candidates in diverse districts. It is a strategy that has worked well for them in both Florida and Texas, and one they’re hoping might mitigate a massive demographic advantage for Democrats on the 25th. Their candidate, Mike Garcia, has an impressive background as a Navy fighter pilot, and perhaps more relevant for the GOP’s electoral purposes, Garcia’s Ballotpedia entry provided by his campaign notes he is a “first-generation American citizen whose family came to the United States legally.” Republicans hope he may be able to pull over some voters from the district’s 37-percent Latino population and potentially erode some of the Democrats’ advantage among this core voting bloc.

Once and for all I'd love to see a definition of "identity politics" and why it's the Democrats who always stand accused of practicing it.  It's one of Red's favorite attempts at a take-down, so he's welcome to try.

Or doesn't "white folks angry at the blacks and foreigners" count as an identity?  How about  those of "we don't care about anything except owning the lib(tard)s" view?  Isn't that an identity?

Oh, I do care.

I am thankful.
