Just like DeSantis arresting people for voting, designed to scare the "wrong" people away from participating.
He's one of the biggest ass holes in this country. In some ways he's worse than Trump and in other ways Trump is worse. That make a great pair as the subjects of a necktie party. Two for the price of one.
Wow I’m ready for this to be over. If they send me one more GD text message I’m going to lose my marbles
Florida state Republican party has been paying, for unclear reasons, a white supremacists who participated in pro Nazi unite the right rally in Charlottesville and, at another protest, assaulted an opponent with a Confederate flag. In fact Dade County Republican party is controlled by Proud Boys.
Sometimes Keith Olbermann is overdone. But column on Scarborough attacking Fetterman is spot on. And yes, I remember Scarborough spending 2016 yukking it up with Trump. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/10/26/2131543/-SCARBOROUGH-S-SCUMBAG-ATTACK-ON-FETTERMAN.
Conversely, on all accounts, Mehmet Oz has handled himself completely respectfully toward Fetterman throughout this campaign. We can celebrate that.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-de...-pennsylvania-far-left-u-s-senate-11666821289 Why Democrats Are Losing the Midterms With Trump out of the spotlight, voters are focusing on how far left the Democratic Party has turned. Commentary on Tuesday night’s Pennsylvania Senate debate is mostly about Democrat John Fetterman’s unfortunate struggles communicating in the wake of his May stroke. But for our money the most telling moment was Mr. Fetterman’s response to a question about his previous opposition to fracking for natural gas. It sums up why the election tide is moving against Democrats and may cost them the House and Senate. “I’ve always supported fracking,” Mr. Fetterman said when pressed by a moderator. He later added that, “I do support fracking and I don’t, I don’t—I support fracking, and I stand, and I do support fracking.” His stumbles over his real position is understandable because his pro-fracking conversion, if that’s what it is, is recent. “I don’t support fracking at all and I never have,” Mr. Fetterman told a YouTube channel in 2018 when running for lieutenant governor. “And I’ve, I’ve signed the no fossil fuels money pledge. I have never received a dime from any natural gas or oil company whatsoever.” In 2016 Mr. Fetterman said in a comment on Reddit that “I am not pro-fracking and have stated that if we did things right in this state, we wouldn’t have fracking.” He added that he had “signed the Food and Water Watch’s pledge to end fracking.” Republican Mehmet Oz hammered Mr. Fetterman on the old quotes in Tuesday’s debate. The point isn’t about catching a politician in a flip-flop. The Fetterman contradiction shows how Democrats are in trouble because they nominated too many candidates whose views on crime, immigration, climate and the economy are all but impossible to defend in competitive races this year. Democrats are finally paying for their sharp left turn during the Trump Presidency. That turn began in earnest with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 2018 primary victory in New York over party war horse Joe Crowley. That scared Democrats nationwide, and it caused many to adopt positions well to the left-of-center to avoid Mr. Crowley’s fate.........
