And they hate women:
https://youtu.be/qH_ao7Z7OpU

Here, Republican congressional candidate (VA-5) Denver Riggleman tells the listeners that rape can be stopped by educating women.

Just bizarre.

More like he's saying a truth that's not 'allowed' to be said these days.
Women can be warned, 'educated', shown examples, told...it seems to make no difference to most of them.

Sharing power

Yeah look at Cory Booker.

Beat all those great candidates who longed to be mayor of Newark

Similar path to Maxine and Kamaka*, I bet.

You’d lose.

Kamala...
Well, you know, the political path of white men is the norm. Similar paths for minorities is questionable. Not even worth learning to spell their names. Or for that matter, give them due respect by using their last names.

I know how to spell it, genius

One of your group had that KAMAKA doozie at first.  Just continuing with the hilarity of it.

---Republicans warn: There's a 'big fight' brewing over Trump's border wall---

Money for jobs, help secure the border, helps law enforcement, why are the dems. opposed? One of the things Trump has right?

Because there are more pressing shovel ready and desperately needed public works for the money to go to than an immigration "solution" that can be beaten by 20th century ladder technology and a rope.

If you hate people on the mere basis of their names ending in "ia" or "ez," your answer is likely to be wholly unsatisfactory.

But since his administration has already concluded that we're doomed by 2100, who cares what other damage we cause in the middle?!

Nothing infantile about women being raped and torture-murdered.
They should be heeding the warnings/advice/encouragement...for their own good.
That "Reclaim the Night" tripe is very bad for women.

They should be listening to Caitlan:

https://www.news.com.au/national/police-fail-to-tell-public-about-thousands-of-crimes/news-story/86ea1ff1c50b14cb5145d42b7de2a4dc

2010

One crime unreported until today was the abduction and rape of a 26-year-old woman, Caitlan, by two masked men. "You need to know there are monsters out there worse than the ones in our dreams," she said.

Caitlan has told her story to The Daily Telegraph as a warning to women.

Trump: James Mattis is 'sort of a Democrat'

President Donald Trump said in an interview with "60 Minutes" that he was unsure how long Defense Secretary James Mattis planned to stay in his administration.

Sort of a Democrat?!

Mind you, Trump said Mattis was a "Democrat at heart" a month ago, so it should be no suprise he is still saying such things. I hope he doesn't get rid of Mattis, given the likely replacements.

Meanwhile...way down south in bambuland...we're building warships for the US Navy...

https://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/australians-to-build-two-more-us-warships/news-story/9974a13888c46c00893ef24132b9c33f

An Australian manufacturing company has secured a contract to build two more warships for the US navy.
Austral has already delivered eight ships to the United States, and will now build two more in Western Australia.

Happy birthday US Navy!

All class, that GOP Senator Purdue.

A student seeks to ask him a question and before the question is done, the senator has snatched the phone out of the kid's hand.

No class, no couth, but plenty of cowardice.

Whether you are feigning ignorance or really that ignorant (and cannot make yourself look him up) is pretty much impossible to tell, Kiid.

Just list him as another worthless GOP US Senator on a long list of them.
