“I want the president to know that I have exhausted all my legal remedies and that only an act of clemency will provide justice in my case and save my life!” Stone, 67, said in a statement sent by text Tuesday.

I find Carlson a lot more dangerous than Hannity. Dude is going to run for office and win at some point.

But this is probably about the recent reports that she might be the VP pick. Hit her early and set the narrative.

For the record, Carlson's own mother doesn't love him. Left him $1 of her 2.5 million $ estate.

One thing we should worry about in the future is a republican candidate with Trumps message who actually has a brain in his head. I feel we’ve actually been lucky that trump is a doofus because people are buying what he’s selling

The re-opening schools panel Trump hosted was a total horror show. Pretty sure he fell asleep around 1:01:20

Just thought of something. Should we assume the Trump admin has shared most/all of our top secret files with Putin?

Seems likely.

Not all of them yet. He's undoubtedly holding back some info while negotiating his escape to Russia after he's resigned or been defeated. In exchange for America's secrets Trump will get Russian citizenship and a promise not to extradite. If he resigns, the deal he'll strike with Pence will be a (Federal) pardon and Pence has to agree to choose Ivanka as his VP running mate.

There is nothing new about a political party claiming to be the party of patriotism.

Worked well for a certain Austrian in the 30s.

Amy Kennedy, wife of Patrick Kennedy of former member of Congress from Rhode Island/son of Ted fame, beat Brigid Harrison in the NJ-2 Dem primary to take on Van Drew, with Murphy winning a proxy war against Norcross.

In NJ-3 to take on Kim, looks like rich guy Richter is hammering former Burlco Freeholder Gibbs in Ocean so badly even if Gibbs does really well in Burlington, she's screwed. I didn't follow the race super closely, but I'd have voted for her if I was still in the district. My dad said he got a ton of mail from Richter, not from Gibbs.

Pretty excited for Amy. I grew up with her and they live a few blocks from me. NJ isn't fooled by Norcross any more.

Just got back from Cape May. Saw a lot of Kennedy signs. Fewer VanDrew. Both are poorly designed. That's my insight into that race.

It was an interesting race. Kennedy was a slight underdog. Most of her base was Atlantic County and most discounted CMC support. I'm guessing they put her over or she had a better than expected showing in Atlantic County. Not to mention, people here aren't going to vote for part-time resident like Brigid Harrison.

Kennedy is winning every county, but Atlantic is most overwhelming - almost 5 to 1

I can’t imagine the administration’s push to open schools this fall is going to resonate in the suburbs

That's probably where it would resonate, right?

Chief Justice Roberts fell and hit his head last month. Now we understand his recent rulings.

PPP is going to do an Alaska Senate poll after election twitter raised over 5,000 to fund it. PPP agreed to just do it for free and will be donating all the money to charity. So funny.
