Oh. Looks like Posobiec joins a long list of Republican vote fraudsters including Coulter, Romney, etc. (See Ann Coulter’s voter fraud here: BradBlog.com/CoulterFraud)

A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec votes in one state and lives in another.

I am 100% with Ds on their demands, but they can simplify/improve messaging. When Trump tax cuts were expiring, Rs said “Ds want to raise your taxes!” Now Ds must make clear: “Rs want to spike your health care costs at year’s end! Ds are fighting to stop them!” Period.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.
