A fraudulent election or 2 has emboldened the conservatives in our country.

I think the French have had their eyes opened as to what is going on in America.

I thought the linked headline said "Snyder Backs NRA...." for a sec.

Funny, reading your comment something jumped out at me

As in the definition of "compromise/compromised"... it would seem that the version of compromised - which you describe - is what passes for compromise in the R playbook. So they "rove" about seeking the new Ds who are or can be compromised and try to maintain that relationship with them, I'm sure that whatever perks they can offer these Ds is well funded by the usual suspects.

Just a surprise random thought.

When I heard Teddie Cruz going on about what the President didn't say to his satisfaction. It was pure Goebbels. How come that jerk can't look like Captain Kangaroo instead of Tail-gunner Joe or Joseph Goebbels.

Why must Fascism and propaganda come back every few years?
