Com'n you guys...this is what the GOP does, gerrymander, suppress votes, scare voters...and in the South you can double down on that with the legacy of the KKK and the like.

Republicans: if you're not willing to assault democracy on 9/11 you're not trying.

North Carolina seems to be winning the race for the worst Republican caucus. Kansas is so bad they can't even win this contest.

---

NC really seems to have a uniquely rough-and-tumble political culture, particularly the Republicans. There is zero shame out there.

---

I think this is most likely a sign of desperation and a last gasp by Republicans before NC turns blue. If it doesn't happen in 2020 it's going to happen in the next one or two cycles after that.

The new map is probably going to be rough for them.

Is it okay for allies to spy on each other ?

Apparently it is. Apparently Israel has been caught spying on the Tan One.

It' must be the RUSSIAN jews.

From their flagship university to their politicians (read: Republicans), that state sucks. At least they have Mack Brown, right?

Apparently the Idiot in Chief's plan to divert funds to build a wall was not as well received by the military as the administration would have us believe. The Air Force tried to push back in a report addressing the issue.

The issue resolved was do the parties raising the emoluments issue before the court have standing? It appears that the lower court's decision was reversed. The parties raising the emoluments question regarding the Idiot in Chief, do have standing and the case can now move forward.

Is there anyone who is more ill suited to be Commander in Chief as he lurches from one crisis to another? This Idiot in Chief is willing to disclose U.S. technological secrets to further his photo op at the boarder in front of a fence that most likely is not part of new construction. The fact that he signed a fence post that was part of a fence that had been authorized prior to his taking office shows just how inept he is as a human being as he tries to convince people that it is part of his new construction.

The Final Lesson Donald Trump Never Learned From Roy Cohn - POLITICO Magazine

It's about time a national figure is blasting cities for their tolerance of the intolerable. Ideally it'd come from somebody who wasn't politically motivated like DT.

Looks like this thing might be happening.

Maybe she'll issue a strongly worded letter? Sh*t or get off the pot, lady.

Done deal per this guy, citing NBC.

Pelosi isn't dumb and won't impeach Trump. Having the inquiry is one thing but they wouldn't go through with a vote.

The best thing that could happen to republicans is having Trump impeached and embarrassed with enough time for them to rally the troops behind Mike Pence. They should have done it in 2017 to give Pence more runway. Pence is basically an empty suit and will do anything he's told, whether by "Mother" or Republican power brokers. Trump can be easily manipulated but is still a bit of a wildcard and will often announce things that he then has to be manipulated to abandon. The Republican party would like nothing more than to get rid of Trump and only choose not to over fear of losing his "base."

Best thing for dems is to draw some blood and bolster the 2020 case for Biden/Warren/whomever.

Politically the smartest way to play this seems to be that you draw out the investigations so they are still ongoing during the general election cycle. Republicans can't abandon him while they are still seeking reelection themselves.

Well, here we go.

The Ukraine thing was the tipping point. No one can say Ukraine is weak!

From the mouths of babes comes thunder, lightning and the truth.
