I read the post and I think it's nonsense. McCain was running under a heavily unpopular GOP flag in a reeling economy against a generational candidate that wasn't going to get beat. As far as your little math exhibition, its silly. You can't compare voting electorates in 2004 and the extrapolate it to 2020. It makes no sense, George W. Bush would have run a different campaign in 2020 and his compassionate conservatism might have won. He certainly wouldn't have run against same sex marriage 2020, it would have been a totally different campaign.

Plus by 2008 McCain had sold his soul to the hard right and wasn't the same as the Maverick persona in 2000.

Yep. I voted for McCain in the 2000 primary. I remember thinking when 9/11 happened that how I wished McCain was the guy in charge instead of W.

Yeah, he claimed that he was going to show him the proof, but somebody poked him in the side. I guess to signal to him that the gov't was onto him and it wasn't safe.

Batshit fucking crazy

It's hilarious that the biggest mainstream news organization in the world relies on that kook and everyone who watches Fox News thinks it OK. The whole world has gone crazy. How does a kook get confusing rich off selling bad pillows?

Because he cries that liberals are trying to cancel him.

The Chairman is set to announce his re-election bid next week. Let's review some of his recent efforts:

*The Chairman's CFPB sues a Chicago bank because it's CEO makes comments about how bad crime is in some neighborhoods. The case gets tossed and the CFPB appeals because The Chairman's CFPB MUST censor dissent

*The Chairman's FHFA proposes a rule to make folks with better credit pay more for their mortage to offset risk so that people with worse credit can pay less for mortgages.

*The Chairman's EPA proposes a rule to centrally plan an entire market by requiring that EVs account for 66% of all new vehicles have zero emissions by 2032. China couldn't have proposed a rule any better for them.

*The Chairman's DoE proposes a rule to prohibut States from saying that men compete with men and women compete with women. Almost implausibly, The Chairman is using Title IX to take away opportunities from women and give them to men.

*The Chairman is set to honor lawmakers who led a mob on to the floor of a state legislature to force the legislature to stop its work, which it had to, and force legislators to leave to find safer spots. Again, these legislators are to be HONORED by The Chairman..

*He still retains Kamala Harris as VP.

Ron DeSantis would bury this guy. JFC.

Has the president been briefed? Has Halle Berry commented?

Texas Senate passes bill REQUIRING all public school classrooms to prominently display the 10 Commandments.

Another bill they passed gives public schools the ability to set aside time for all students to pray and read the Bible.

I can't imagine that passes muster and gets tossed in a matter of minutes if it sees the inside of a courtroom. Seems like a serious misreading of the Kennedy case. Their version of virtue signaling.

It probably won't last in court unless Harlan Crowe has a doozy of a vacation scheduled this year.

This was ruled unconstitutional about 40 years ago but that was a 5-4 decision. They may be thinking the current court will happily reverse that decision.

On the other hand, like you say, the Court went to great lengths in the Kennedy case to stress that the coach was not acting as a school employee when he prayed. There's no possible way to say the school is only promoting the 10 Commandments in their "off-duty" hours. It boils down to whether you can make the argument that the 10 Commandments are secular or religious and IMO they are religious.

That is both symbolically empty and extremely stupid. This isn’t Cons gonna Con as much as it is Reps gonna Rep. It’s a symbolic move that appeases Boomer-cons and nobody else. A bunch of lawmakers who probably violate all 10 Commandments on a daily basis before breakfast passing a law to post them in schools. It’s a very 1990s move.

We do need Ron very badly. And we need Governor Ron on steroids, not a neutered version.

[froot loops]

If you need DeSantis so much, you need to convince Trump not to run.

[Hannibal]

Not only do we need Ron, but it has to only be the beginning. If all that we get from Ron are a few short-lived victories and a brief retreat up the slippery slope, then it will be all for nothing.

The cancers have to be chemo’ed into oblivion. The Overton window has to be dragged back to the right on every topic. Demographic trends have to be stopped and then reversed.
