must suck for a white supremacist swine when white people from extremely white countries don’t want to be come to the shithole he’s making of his country because among other things they have democracy with sane leaders and health care
TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”
Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

The end of that story in the Bible is Jesus telling the Pharisees to go learn what it means for the Lord to say “I desire mercy and not sacrifice.”
Quite the shift from "I think if you do something bad you should die" immediately to "as they say in the Bible..."

Jesus healed someone he wasn't supposed to. Therefore it's okay to murder people you're not supposed to. Solid grasp of faith, literacy, and logic we've got here

This normalizes corruption, feeding the sentiment that both sides suck and so politics is pointless. A Dem party focused on rehabilitating its broken brand would be criticizing Trump and booting out Cuellar. Let the corrupt guys become corporate lobbyists - they’re dragging our party down.
Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"

The more that gerrymandering tries to squeeze more seats out a fixed pool of voters by lowering expected margins of victory, the more vulnerable it becomes to a wave in which the expectations are upset. There are self-interested reasons why many Republican incumbents haven't wanted to redistrict.
This race is close and, given how much Democrats outperformed the polls a few weeks ago, a win is actually possible.
But even a narrow loss in a gerrymandered district Trump won by 22 points last year would be a sign of significant progress.
