Good. 
 

 

I think this sets a tremendously dangerous precedent, and is terrible for the long term of our country.

Sorry, not gonna happen.

I hope so.  Mouthbreathers who like it now are going to hate when the shoe is on the other foot.

So it’s okay for states to gerrymandering the F out of their districts and pass laws to suppress the vote?

 

Nah - it’s not.

I think that gerrymandering is gross, regardless of who does it. Unfortunately both parties are up to their eyeballs in it.

 

Passing ID laws is totally reasonable,  provided that states give easy access to them.  I'm not sure what voter suppression laws you are referring to, happy to discuss them individually if you'd like.  But If you come out with "Jim Crow on steroids, it's a non-starter.

 

Regardless, losing the filibuster is a terrible move for our country and will only drive us further apart.  And you will hate life when the Rs are in power.  I heard they are passing a mother's basement tax....

Of course you won’t acknowledge voter suppression laws being passed in just about every red state. Hallmark actions of a party void of ideas and support.

 

PS: Be careful what you wish for…

Show me where there is actual voter suppression, Billsy. Let's talk about it like grownups instead of stereotyping each other, like I did to you about your mother's basement. That wasn't nice, sorry.

It's 99.9% TrumpC3 calling Chef Jim a racist.   Point out some real points and we can discuss. Or we could just go back to name calling.

REP. BOBBY RUSH TO RETIRE AFTER 15 TERMS.

 

Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., ex-Chicago alderman, member of Congress and a minister, told the Chicago Sun-Times on Monday that he will not seek another term.

 

Rush, first elected to Congress in 1992, said in an interview he intends to stay active in his ministry and find ways to use his remarkable life story — a trajectory from a 1960s radical to House member — to inspire younger generations.

 

Since his first election to Congress when he toppled a Democratic incumbent in the primary, Rush, with enormous name recognition from his Black Panther days, has kept an iron grip on his first congressional district, famously defeating then state Sen. Barack Obama in the 2000 Democratic primary.

 

Rush, 75, has won each primary and general election by overwhelming margins in the district, anchored on Chicago’s South Side and running through the city’s southern suburbs.

 

David Mark of the Washington Examiner notes that Rush “is the 20th House member not seeking reelection or running for another office. Sixteen are Democrats and four are Republicans.”

And then there were 25: House Democrats swarming for the exits

 

Forget the generic congressional ballot, for a moment anyway. What gives us the best predictive model for the midterm election outcome? 

The number of House majority members heading for the exits:

i wonder if part of this too is rooted in what must be utter disappointment for the handful of well meaning politicians (there must be some out there) particularly democrats, that must feel defeated…. even with all 3 houses they can’t get their party extremists out of the way to do some good things. 
 

It might be enough to sour them on the whole process, sort of like how the tea baggers obstructed the Rs…

Liberals proclaim midterm success by GOP could spell end of democracy in America

by Brian Flood

 

Mainstream media pundits and Democrats politicians alike have seemingly decided that a red wave by the GOP in the 2022 midterms will ruin democracy as we know it. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., set the tone earlier this week when he predicted the upcoming midterms could actually be the end of free elections in America. "I’m worried that if Republicans win in the midterm elections that voting in this country as we know it will be gone," Swalwell said on MSNBC.

THE LEFT ISN’T GOING TO ENJOY LIVING UNDER THE NEW RULES THEY’VE CREATED:

 

 Kevin McCarthy: I’m Kicking 3 Democrats Off Their Committees If Republicans Win Back House In 2022.

 

McCarthy made the remarks in an interview and said that the move comes in light of to Democrats kicking two Republicans — Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) — off their committees.

 

“The Democrats have created a new thing where they’re picking and choosing who can be on committees,” McCarthy said. “Never in the history [of Congress] have you had the majority tell the minority who can be on committee. But this new standard which these Democrats have voted for—if Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the private sector, there is no reason why he should be given one to be on Intel or Homeland Security. He will not be serving there.”

 

“Ilhan Omar should not be serving on Foreign Affairs,” McCarthy said. “This is a new level of what the Democrats have done.”

 

McCarthy also said that Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff would be kicked off of that committee as well.

Flashback: Hair pulling time:

There’s an old joke about a boy who complains to his mother that his little sister keeps pulling his hair.

 

“Oh,” responds the mother, “she doesn’t know that it hurts.”

 

A few minutes later, the mother hears the girl scream and runs into the other room. “She knows now,” the boy explains.

 

 

There’s a lesson for Republicans in that old joke, if they’re smart enough to absorb it.

 

Maybe this time they are.
