If hell freezes over and Trump is reelected, Trump will hang that mugshot on the oval office wall right behind his oval office chair so it will be the first thing people see when entering. And those sitting in the oval office meeting with Trump, that picture will be glaring down at them. It will be quite unnerving to say the least.

Wow. Uncle Joe in the Nam with the Viet Cong. Sounds like a song for you musicians out there.

The evil capitalism virus has taken hold there as well.

I grew up during that war and it ended the year before I was 18 thank .. . . whomever. Pretty sure I could have gotten out of on at least 3 separate grounds (I'm a pretty sick puppy). Still, it was almost like a birthday present.

I wonder how kids (not to mention vets) were permanently scarred by that otherwise had their lives turned into a living hell. May the universe have mercy on them.

Christie is going to stalk Trump if the latter keeps avoiding the debates.

CC has always been a very proficient attack dog.

Hello friend. Are confused as fvck about the GOP? Well, here's the skinny.

18 Congressional districts that elected an R also voted for Biden. The GOP majority in the house is 9.
So you can see right there their compunction for destruction.

Kevin can't do anything at all that will force those 18 House R's to vote for something like impeachment.

I wasn't around for most of the McCarthy commie witch hunt era. I suspect some of you were. Doesn't the current state of affairs remind you of that.

I wasn't around for it, but have some limited knowledge of what happened with McCarthy and his commie witch hunt as you put it, as he was from my state.

At that time, McCarthy was trying to stoke "red fear", targeting supposed communists and communist sympathisers. Most of those targeted were not communists, of course.

Now, it's any Democrats in power or at least in the spotlight that they try to concoct bullshit to target them. Similar in some ways I suppose, but it feels like they have a wider scope now. Instead of so-called communists, now it's those "extreme leftists". Which means supposedly any Democrat, according to them.

I think we might be seeing more *ahem* news clips of the donald than from when he was actually in office.

I don't normally watch Chris Hayes (8pm EDT, msnbc) but the boy is growing on me.

Tonight's lede was this. Looking at 30 special state elections (SSEs) in '23 so far, the Ds have been beating their normal "margin" by 11 points.

What does that mean?

Say you've got an R district where the Rs normally win by say 5 points. Now, there's an SSE and Ds win by 12. That's a swing from their normal margin of 17 points.

For a D district, same thing just different. Normal D win is 3 pts, they win by 11, that's a swing of 8.

Now statistically, is this significant? Hard for me to say. What I remember from stats is that sampling tends to be asymptotic. That means the accuracy of a sample as the sample size increases tends to go higher but at a slower and slower rate.

In the US there have to be thousands upon thousands of SSE districts. So your first impulse is, well, it's within the normal MoE (margin of error).

Maybe. But maybe not.

Bobbie "The Grifter" Menendez is back in soup with another indictment. But you know what. If the Cult of Dumpster is going to vote for him, then I'm sending RM back to the Senate.

Fvck you and the cockroach you rode in on.

Will D's rescue the KKK (klown kar kaucus) from themselves?

That's a tough call. I know they want to. The thing is, when the opposition, buys the horse and rope, finds a strong tree branch, throws the rope over the branch, ties the noose, gets up on the horse and puts the noose around their neck . . . . it takes a true act of will to NOT slap that horsie a good one across its butt cheeks. Ya feel me?

I have to wonder if the "No Labels" . . . movement? If that ever really had a chance.

If you think about it for a moment (which I tend to not do :( ) and ask, well what do you stand for? There's nothing you can really come back with that's going to stick.

Good govt? Define "good." Equality? Well, we've been working on that for a while now and we'll eventually get it right. IDK
