It's a good thing President Obama killed Osama Bin Laden because otherwise Trump would be inviting him to the White House for some goddamn hors d'oeuvres

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Yes, please. For all the blather about the Dem brand being tainted, it might be a good idea to start asking if maybe, just maybe, the GOP brand has a little problem with its new logo --- the swastika.
If (knock on wood) Dems sweep Tuesday’s elections handily, can we ease discourse away from its obsession over whether Dems are too left wing to win, and take greater notice of the fact that Republicans are in a civil war over whether to be Nazis or merely lesser fascists?
Exploit The GOP's Nazi Meltdown
Are we really going to accept the conceit that the central issue in politics is whether DEMOCRATS are too extreme?

Releasing a health care plan is not negotiating. It's...releasing a health care plan. Odd that the House speaker doesn't understand that basic point.
COLLINS: If you have a healthcare plan, why not have that out there to talk about in the public so people can hear it?
MIKE JOHNSON: We need to get back to regular session so we can. We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

If they want to end this shutdown, they can tell Republicans to end their vacation.

Hello?
Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.
