WSJ: Sen Roger Marshall (R-KS) has disqualified himself from the running by advocating a 12.6% marginalized tax increase on workers. Screw that. www.wsj.com/opinion/roge...

Roger Marshall swore an oath as a physician to do no harm. He has spent his entire political career doing nothing but harm.

This term we discuss the Republican caucus. Next term it will be the Republican carcass.

a hardened bunker

In celebration - the occasion will require that with which humans have celebrated auspicious events since the good Dom described drinking stars! I will keep the grand cru for dinner, but the first response of perhaps the whole world will be to open a special bottle of Champagne.

let us not forget, when they are in the docket they too will exemplify the banality of evil.

Sayed is an American Patriot, a Physician, and an intelligent person, three things Trump will never be.

literally Republicans have NOTHING other than spreading fear about socialism, Islam, teachers performing surgery, and trans athletes. No policies, no plans, just sowing irrational fear. There is not a single person who is willing to have an R by their name on a ballot that deserves a single vote.

🇧🇷🇧🇷

even before the champagne is finished everyone in America will be claiming they never supported him.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

the precision and wit with which they respond to substantive criticism is amazing.

when thinking about the nightmarish kitsch that has been installed in the Oval Office, and the desecration of the people's house in which Trump is currently squatting, please remember the difference between the architect Gaudi, and the adjectival inspiration for Trump's decor, Gaudy (or gaudawful?)

This is your reminder that there's no such thing as a perfect candidate and while complaining is totally valid, harm reduction is incredibly important and you should still vote! ❤️❤️❤️

a jigger is 44.36 milliliters, so $1.65/jigger is where the price will be in a few months unless Trump's war is halted

But lets also recognize that it also reflects the Dr. Annie is a truly exceptional candidate who will bring great intelligence and an ability to bridge divides, and her experience as a pediatrician in dealing with toddlers and bratty behavior will come in handy wrt Trump.

a few others as well

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

it is hard to argue that Minaj receiving classified briefings presents a greater security risk than Donald J. Trump receiving classified briefings. Minaj has failed to pay people to whom she owed money. So did Trump. Minaj's husband is a felon, but so it Trump. All norms lay in ruins.

How could the Bishops possibly have known their participation in a prayer service in the Oval Office a week before an election would be politicized? The bible says to be cunning as a serpent and gentle as a dove, I don't recall any admonition recommending being dumb as a dodo.

Absolutely - assuring workers of continuous income if the business by which they are employed is no longer sustainable. is a legitimate function of government. Insuring wealthy owner and stockholders against loss is not.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

If people do their job, the lines for voting should be quite long on Nov. 3, perhaps they should make efforts to keep people entertained while the wait. Does anyone have interest in volunteering to be a poll dancer?

I went to Catholic school in Birmingham, Alabama in the 60's, which unlike public schools, was fully integrated. What kids need is empathy, a subject that is actually taught in Denmark. We don't need ten commandments, we do need love your neighbor as yourself, and respect for all cultures.

That could well be the most important experience of his early life, lets hope he learns, and contemplates the experience!

Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

thats me - turned 70 on Oct. 3, the transitus of St. Francis

NEW: An order of New York nuns founded in 1817 has rebuked the bishops who laid hands on President Trump. “Images carry messages,” the Sisters of Charity wrote. “Silence carries messages, too.” The nuns have a powerful ally in Pope Leo XIV, who has put women at the center of his leadership.

Is Trump in the Klan? Have you heard his speeches?

If we would have listened to bernie we would not be where we are, He is trying to unite us - even if we know his claims about the good intentions of others are false, if we can come together by accepting them let us do so. Bernies policies will lead to a better America.

overly generous is an exceedingly nice way of putting it

since they won't come here I am happy to go there.

They don't even know there is a "b" in it, most people don't.

on the one hand, thank you Bishop Grob, on the other, what were you thinking going to the white house less than two weeks before an election to prey with (not a typo!) a president known for manipulation?

true

Trump says if Republicans lose the election it is voters’ fault

When McCain shut down a woman accusing Obama of not being patriotic, he did so knowing he had policies, as did Obama, and the debate was about which policies the American people wanted to see implemented. Rogers can't afford to acknowledge his opponent's humanity because he has no policy proposals.

Now I understand - Trump read about Gaudi, and thought it said Gaudy.

Amy would have seemed self-serving in an add she made about her rough childhood because her father was a rapist, her mother chose her abuser over her and she fought to protect her brother. Vivek did it for her.

At a campaign stop in Mobile on Tuesday, a journalist from Lagniappe Daily asked him about his promise to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans, a promise he never kept. It was an entirely reasonable question, one Alabama veterans have been asking for years. - Doug Jones Newsletter

You know it's true🎶 Everything Mike does🎶 He does it for Trump🎶 Hey Mike Rogers, when you see Trump today, show him this!
