Well, except for a booming economy, record low unemployment, a solid foreign policy with a beefed up military to enforce it.

Well, you seem convinced REDSTATEWARD.  But then, someone like you wouldn't need convincing.

For voters not completely divorced from reality, Republicans had to run scary commercials shouting "Pelosi!" at the 11th hour in Ohio to keep from losing a House district they have held for 30 years.

We will see how that strategy works out in less red districts in November.

Ah yes, the defining mark of the democrats: Everyone else is a racist.
You must be so proud of Josh’s recent post.  You guys call that taking the high road?

Yeah, what has Donald Trump ever done to make us think he is racist?

LOL.

Even if the dems take the House they can’t roll back the tax cuts.

So what?  Republicans couldn’t roll back the ACA either, that didn’t stop them from campaigning against it in 2010.  Lordy, do you get how politics works?  Evidently not.
go right ahead then. But you might remember the GOP ran on cutting taxes in 2016, they won, they cut taxes, Unemployment went down and GDP went up. If you want to reverse that then you really are the party bent on political Suicide.

I sure as hell don't call it taking the high road, Red.

Almost every time somebody takes the high road with this bunch of GOP "leaders" they get stabbed in the back, undermined, or trampled.

And... what's your objection to calling a racist a racist?

Trump is what?  German?  Do you think if young immigrant Germans were committing ghastly crimes vs children in the US en masse' he would act to do anything about stopping them at the southern border?

The fact that he is acting to protect LATINO youth in this nation (by going after MS13) and you are scoffing at it makes YOU seem racist, I'd say.  Maybe you'd be more behind it if little Jane and Jessie Whitegirl had been beheaded.
en masse? Nope. Not happening. That scare.tactic is the racism. Equating all immigration with MS13 is the racism.

And - protecting Latino youth be separating them from their parents at the border? Seriously? Sending them back - because this country sill eventually send them back - to the violence and danger they escaped protecting them? That's Orwellian logic.

MS13 is not an immigration problem. It is a law enforcement problem. Arresting parents and seizing minor children has nothing to do with MS13. That you and Trump argue it does is the racism.

Kids separated at the border can stay in the US.  That is the aim of many of the parents legitimately bringing the kids in.

Got any evidence to support that?

(see me not holding my breath)

You're kidding, right?

You're kidding, right?

Do you have evidence that the kids who were taken from their parents will be allowed to stay?

That's what I'm asking for.

Good Lord - can we stop posting that ridiculous map?


So..........the "good guys" have taken down (or think they have) Melissa Howard - a representative for state office.

Niiiiiice work.

Have to wonder if they have done any research into her stance on issues, her work history, quotes on matters of import, charitable work, etc.


Nah........

Issues? She’s a fucking LIAR.

She had every opportunity to do the right thing and she screwed every chance right down to saying her hubby had a heart attack... you want to talk “the issues?”

She took a picture of herself with a fake diploma THAT SHE KNEW WAS FAKE.

Damn.

Red is fully prepared to be a post-impeachment never-trumper. Till then, he’s standing by his man and taking amoral perfidy and peddling obvious falsehood on the road. It won’t be till trump’s popularity hits 22% or 23% that we’ll see a peel away of supporters as thick as Red.

Maybe it’s because you are the racist.

Are you back to "I know you are, but what am I?" again?

Got any instances of me calling people nigger? How about my preventing Blacks from renting from me? My refusing to provide ongoing aid to Puerto Ricans? My indicating that I want Jews, not Blacks, doing my accounting?

Your feeble attempt to deflect attention from the Racist-in-Chief is duly noted.

But he's still a racist.

And you, just one of his many apologists, same as you are for the rest of your racist party.
