Yes, The GOP Is COMPLETELY Different Under Trump! (and other random observations)

Grassley famously stoked the “death panel” rumors in 2009 among the same conspiracy elements of the base who he’s now humoring on the election. Time is a flat circle. https://t.co/Ov3XQzD4a1

What was your first clue?

Schools require vaccines on a regular basis. Texas allows a generous amount of exemptions for basically no reason at all. The parents who hate masks v. the parents who want their kids-in-hazmat-suits-if-they-have-to-attend-class-at-all are simply going to shift to vaxxers v. anti-vaxxers, along the same battle lines. Recently a local superintendent told a class of high schoolers certain adults, and she explicitly excluded teachers, were behaving like children, while the kids in school were behaving like adults.  The kids all said they knew that already.

We really should give kids a louder voice in these things.  This won't be over 'til it's over.

Expelling Liz Cheney from leadership won’t gain the GOP one additional voter, but it will cost us quite a few.

I really just wanted to see that again. We could use quite a few more Democrats like Biden. And the Josh Hawley Clueless About How This Works Award goes to:

Q: Is this a metaphor? And a follow up: is it a metaphor we should be worried about?

Onward thru the fog? Or forward over the cliff? Because Trump is about as popular as toe fungus.

That or it's that old Reagan joke (no, really, to you whippersnappers too young to remember!) about the kid put in a room filled up with horseshit. He grabs a shovel and starts digging. "Why?", he is asked. "With this much shit there's gotta be a pony somewhere!" Apply that as it fits, and let it stand for the fact these clowns got nothin', and they won't be satisfied with that.

In closing, a word (or two) from our friends in the DPRK:
