For mayor we have a lady who is running as a Dem that switched from Republican at the end of 2017 and yet many county-wide Dems are supporting her

county parties suck pretty hard.

the committee people show up to these endorsement conventions and basically have very little idea on who to vote for. yet they vote and then insist that those not endorsed drop out.

One positive in Berks is there are no official endorsements in the primary.

I need Beto O’Rourke’s life. He runs for the senate and loses, now is running for President.

Who the fuck is paying for all of this? Is that little business his wife now runs really that remunerative?

Just gross.

The president is a piece of shit. It is remarkable that he is able to find new ways to embarrass himself and the country every single day; often multiples times a day. At an absolute minimum, our veterans deserve our utmost respect and admiration. And they earned a hell of a lot more than that. I believe one of our country's greatest failings is how our veterans are treated (or not treated) once they return home.

His father in law is a big real estate developer worth nine figures. I don't think they have to work to put food on the table.

Trump complaining that McCain didn't thank him for the lovely funeral Trump threw him...

“I endorsed him at his request and I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president I had to approve,” Trump told a military audience Wednesday. “I don’t care about this, I didn’t get a ‘thank you’ and that’s okay.”

This is exactly what's happening for the Upper Merion Township Supervisor spot that's up for election this year. The non-endorsed candidate did not drop out and it's been fun following the drama in the local facebook groups. The endorsed guy is actually a friend of mine and a really good candidate IMO, so it does kinda suck for him that he's caught in the middle of all this.

Superstition dictates that speaking I’ll of the dead invites their return to haunt you. Sometimes to steal ones soul, but too late.

Just exactly what the Democratic Party - nay, the country - needs.

I don’t think I would be comfortable expecting my father-in-law to bank roll my life while I did a vanity project like running for the Senate, or losing and running for President.

No doubt. Can I propose to Trent to be my father-in-law? We can fill in the rest of the details later.

This is a poll tax

Last November, Florida passed a ballot measure to reenfranchise as many as 1.4 million people with felony records, the largest expansion of voting rights in decades. But less than six months after the historic move, state lawmakers are considering legislation that would make it harder for some of them to vote by requiring them to first finish paying all court fines and fees.

I think there was a piece on NPR yesterday that talked about FL voters needing to step into things the legislature is unwilling to take on, and when it happens the state legislators categorically gut what is in front of them. I think this is the 3rd time.

House Oversight Cmte. Chairman Cummings says in letter to WH counsel that Jared Kushner's attorney said in a Dec. 2018 meeting that Kushner "has been using the messaging application WhatsApp as part of his official White House duties to communicate with foreign leaders.

When asked whether Kushner has ever used WhatsApp to discuss classified information, Kushner's attorney replied, "That's above my pay grade," Chairman Cummings says in letter to White House counsel.

Nothing to see here.
