“fighting GOP extremism” says the WaPoo.
How convenient that the apparatchiks fail to articulate in their Pravda the state of affairs around Lafayette Square, the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and H Street NW, McPherson Square…all 2.5 years AFTER the “fiery but mostly peaceful protests” coming from the party of love compassion and tolerance. And Washington DC is in BETTER shape than most major American cities!
Agreed Lauren,
The legacy national news media abandoned objectivity and chose sides
long before Trump.
Not to worry, Lauren; the GOP will somehow figure out how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
It will be easy for the Dems to pick off one or two weak Repubs for key votes who enjoy the warm DC swamp waters more than the country’s sovereignty, integrity, and future.
While I agree–“jaws of victory” is a great phrase–it only speaks to the craven cowardice of party to go against the neo-liberalism loving uniparty (Swamp, Deep State, whatever) that just rigged and undermined at least 40 national elections.
But remember this: for every one of the many pathetically cowardly neo-cons, there are 2 (or more) even more cowardly neo-libs on the Democratic party who know that the hivemind isn’t good or righteous or what their constituents want, but the hivemind is terrifying and thus they must capitulate. Even an inside-outsider like James Carville recognizes this. Manchin and Sinema are despised for simply representing their states’ interests (sometimes) and the rest refuse to do so. Is there even a single Democrat in US Congress that is brave enough to define what a woman is?
House Republicans could save a lot of time if they just recycled their material from 2014 and replaced “Bengazi” with “Hunter Biden’s laptop”.
Sure, go after Hunter. Get all the crooks. Especially ones like Jared Kushner, who actually cashed in. Covering for the Saudis (who, as a reminder, define a woman as their personal property) earned him a cool $2 billion investment in his private equity fund. Makes me wonder why Trump has to step in to get him those top secret clearances. But please, Lauren, tell me more about the global elite and how Trump speaks for the common man and waters some tree of liberty or something. (By the way, using all the snark I can, why go so hard after the transgendered?)
And, Bob, go on some more about integrity. Please.
