Fetterman campaign raises $500K in wake of viral Oz ‘crudité’ video Now, add in the fact that Oz has donated $14 million to his campaign and is still losing to Fetterman by double-digits.
So, now you're opposed to fighting global warming. Never thought I'd see you embrace Republican ideas.
WY ain't the problem anyway. I mean on a national level. The states where any Republican get a 20+ point margin are nothing we can easily address. The problem is FL, NC, PA, MI, WI, AZ - where the margins are slender and we need to move them 5-7 points to the left. Then Ohio and Texas. But just making those first six as reliable as, say, MN changes everything.
She is the only person I have heard any talk of around here and it is because of the pasting she has been giving Rubio over never showing up to his job. I do not know what is going on in Russia Red florida, but the moderate/independent people who are fed up with trump and lying ass republican right wingers seem to be mentioning her positively. I have no idea what that would amount to given trump/racist shame is a thing now, and that goes away with anonymous voting. All the older white independents seem to bitch about Scott because they love their medicare and social security, but he somehow keeps getting elected by them so they are lying sacks of shit. Don't let the polls fool you into false sense of security because someone is voting for those fuckers. I have this feeling like there are a lot of trumpista racists old white people around who don't like spit in their food so they pretend to be reasonable now that the dems like to point them out to service people.
Cheney’s opponent says Liz never called to concede the election. Liz then provides audio of the call. https://apple.news/ABQGDcVeCQB27gbSOe_DDaw
I think floriduh becomes hard to peg with polls because of people lying to cover up their racism. Considering most service people are black and brown around here a lot of the poll workers would have to be either brown or poor whites living with brown people. Assisted living and nursing home people would not be able to properly express their racism without offending those who care for them. Actual voting is much more anonymous than a poll. You really cannot be as expressive with your racism here in florida as you can in other red states. You can get dropped from some of your social clubs for saying you are a trumper now. It is one thing to be an Ocala white supremacist, and another to be an elderly racist who relies on 90 percent black and hispanic nurses and help, along with surviving blue boomers who are sick of hearing how they (The hippies) killed the world by their greatest racist generation parents. I know the crazy trumpers are around here, but they don't advertise as much as you would think.
Can we be done with that twat now? Great that she did not like trump or the jan 6th crazies, but she is still on the god awful side of the spectrum. She barely even hates trump for his policies as much as she hates him for grifting the racist sexist idiots better than she was. This is a fucking Cheney. That family did far more evil and damage to the world than Trump's family did, and that takes effort. Let us not rehabilitate her awful family because she was not Trump level awful. That is how we got rapey racist fuckwad joe.
I wonder if she’s signaling downward or upward about her willingness to tell obvious, trivially refutable lies. Is this vice signaling, or fealty signaling?
Not that I doubt that the opponent is lying. But... A recording is of a purported voice mail is not ironclad proof that Cheney made the call. Anyone can record a message saying, "Hi, this is Liz Cheney. I congratulate you on your win. I concede." (or whatever the actual words were) at any time. It does strike me as weird that she would have recorded herself making the concession call in advance, but then again, maybe recording conversations is how she rolls in general, or she suspected the Trumper might be up to shenanigans and so knew she wanted proof of the concession. According to the Politico story linked above, Cheney claims she called 3 times, and the Trumper supposedly released a call log of her phone that showed only one call from Cheney that night. (Of course, Cheney could have hypothetically called from another phone or the Trumper's call log could be messed up.)
Some more hope from florida. My father reminded me that the last election where desantis won by a bit over 30k votes the dem was hit with a huge scandal before the election. We were trying to remember it, but it had something to do with desantis' opponent being caught up in a drug OD of his gay hookup in a hotel room. Desantis may not be as strong as the reps want to pretend he is, but I am still not holding my breath as florida tends to be really disappointing. I would rather be surprised there were more decent people than I thought rather than having my hopes dashed by a bunch of crazed republicons.
It is a republican. I am just happy they aren't making smoothies out of puppies and kittens to drink while lynching a black bisexual transwoman. It is rule MTG where now that I mentioned it she will be fighting with botard over who gets to actually do that.
Republicans are wondering where all the money they raised to elect Senators went. https://www.newsweek.com/rick-scotts-fraud-settlement-resurfaces-senate-gop-runs-low-cash-1735418
Serves them right for putting the guy who holds the record for looting Medicare in charge of the Senate campaign fund. I wouldn’t let that guy hold my lunch money
Laura Loomer loses! https://www.huffpost.com/entry/laur...1th-daniel-webster_n_6304fe79e4b0f7df9bb4227f
GOP candidate who praised Hitler loses by a narrow margin: https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...-republican-congressional-primary-1234580459/
She's refusing to concede, claiming she's the victim of "big tech election interference" and a "weak" Republican party that won't stand up to it. At this point, I'm wondering whether these assholes are just seeing Trump getting away with the Big Lie and deciding to copy him, or if they are all genuinely so full of themselves they really think they couldn't POSSIBLY lose unless the race was rigged against them.
The Special Elections in NY for their house were interesting. The 19th is considered a bellweather district, it went for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020. The Democrat Pat Ryan won by about 4%. The 23rd is deep Red, going for Trump by 15 points in 2016 and 11 points in 2020. The GOP candidate Sempoliski won, but by just 2 points.
Republican candidate blackmailed over blowjob. And, yes, it was him blowing a dude. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/08/republican-campaign-rocked-gay-extortion-attempt/
I like the part where he talks about "struggling with his sexuality" as if that struggle was in the past. Somehow, I don't think it is.
“No one should be persecuted or smeared for their personal orientation.” Oh? I have some bad news about your Party.
Ryan Zinke, who was Trump's Secretary of the Interior and forced out over ethics violations, also lied to federal agencies over a deal regarding a casino on Indian land. https://crooksandliars.com/2022/08/former-trump-official-lied-investigators Zinke is currently running for election to the House.
