What is wrong with this guy?

Moderators closed tonight's Wisconsin Senate debate by asking each candidate to say something they find admirable about the other.

Lt. Gov Mandela Barnes (D) said Sen. Ron Johnson (R) is a "family man."

Johnson said Barnes is "against America."

The audience booed Johnson. pic.twitter.com/zoFiSIf5kg

Republicans are trying to win by spreading three false talking points. Here's the truth


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/commentisfree/2022/oct/16/republican-talking-points-midterms-robert-reich?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Newest family values GOPer on display today: Lee Chatfield suspected of engaging in criminal enterprise.

He faces numerous accusations including bribery, campaign finance violations, being constantly hopped up on adderall (and providing it to lobbyists) and, the cherry on top proving that every GOP accusation is really a confession, grooming/sexually abusing a 15-year old girl who later became his sister in law. Don't worry guys, as stalwart BI GOP defenders will point out, Lee claims that the affair with his sister in law was purely consensual so his GOP family value credentials remain fully intact (such is the current state of the GOP).

Quote:

---

Lansing Former Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield is under investigation in connection with an alleged "criminal enterprise," potentially involving embezzlement, bribery, campaign finance violations and controlled substances, according to court documents obtained by The Detroit News.

The records, reported for the first time, named other high-profile figures in Lansing and detailed an array of purported crimes that agents for Attorney General Dana Nessel's office are investigating related to Chatfield, who served in the state Legislature from 2015 through 2020.

According to two April affidavits, in which state agents attempted to establish probable cause to get a judge to authorize search warrants, the Republican ex-lawmaker's brother, Aaron Chatfield, told investigators he occasionally received money from Lee Chatfield's political accounts despite not doing "any work." In one affidavit, an agent in the Attorney General's financial crimes section said Aaron Chatfield purchased and provided the prescription drug Adderall to Lee Chatfield and two Lansing lobbyists "20 to 30 times."

While both search warrants were authorized, no one has been charged as part of the investigation, which launched in January after Lee Chatfield's sister-in-law, Rebekah Chatfield, accused the former House speaker of sexually abusing her beginning when she was 15 years old. Lee Chatfield has denied wrongdoing and said through an attorney that he and his sister-in-law had a consensual affair.

Okaydo, the left is going to lose the house next month...probably should be coming to terms with how that happened.

Who knew that Lara Logan was such a Q-Anon clown?

Nearly a year after she was kicked to the curb by Fox News for essentially calling Dr. Anthony Fauci a Nazi, Lara Logan was on Newsmax's primetime airwaves pushing QAnon tropes, invoking blood libel, and fear-mongering about a "global cabal" planning to "dilute the pool of patriots" in the United States with "100 million illegal immigrants."

Sources say James Gordon Meek may have had child pornography on his laptop.

If so, I hope he’s locked up. This is exactly what the FBI should be doing, going after child predators instead of political enemies and parents at school board meetings.

The democrats have a lot of work to do but it's naive to ignore the tailwinds.

Three things that when combined form a really grim outlook for the US:

- The entire Republican platform is based on easily disprovable lies
- The way the media enables that strategy of deception
- The perception of that same media as liberal and an arm of the Dem party https://t.co/hTgEe3oJ0t
