Mike Pence....hero?

 

There is something amazing that Mike Pence, of all people, is emerging as a hero…one of the few figures in the GOP actually willing to take on Trump and MAGA. I certainly wouldn’t have thought it back when he accepted the VP role in Trump’s first administration.

Admittedly, I don’t think he’ll be able to achieve much. His party is now too fully wedded to the oligarchy and to corruption to follow him. Yet, the mere fact that he is present is comforting. Something about better a single candle than cursing the darkness in the Republican soul.

If only Mitch had done this twenty years ago

 Interesting article. We learn that Mitch McConnell is leaving Congress at the end of his term. The tragedy is that if he had done this earlier, before Trump, he would have exited with a modicum of dignity. He would have been seen as a controversial but effective conservative legislator. As it is, he goes as a sad and pathetic figure who, like von Papen and Victor Emmanuel, aided the forces of absolute evil in the deluded belief that he could control them.

Who JD Vance really serves.

 If had any doubts about who (or what ) JD Vance really serves.

Get to the polls!

 We don't have much time. So get to the polls, and if you can five a lift to a neighbor or friend, do it!

Visual Walz Winning!

 I don't really believe in sympathetic magic. But, what the heck? For the debate, let's all visualize Tim Walz slicing up JD Vance like a Thanksgiving Turkey. #TimWalz #BigDadEnergy

He really is just a sad, sick, pathetic little clown, isn't he?
