it’s taking self centeredness to evangelical heights.
and it is stupid, you don’t need to be religious to think an unborn is a person. you just need to have a little honesty and empathy and heart.

I used to go back and forth with Skip N, Dangles, and occasionally RIJimmy. And then the orange guy won, and the left became completely unhinged and delirious. So yeah, I can find issues with both sides, but one side has just gone completely bonkers.
I was a registered Dem up until the 2020 election, I’m now unenrolled, I would never want to be associated with that awful group of people again….ever.
And before you start with the R’s are no better, notice the word Unenrolled.
To simplify, they both suck

Similar to me I was registered Republican for many years and have voted for probably more Republicans for president than Democrats. But while I agree both parties have moved I think the Republicans have moved far more than the Democrats and don't think I would ever vote for Republican again for president unfortunately. I too am a unaffiliated. I don't think a republican would now ever start the EPA or OSHA for example like Nixon did.

Term limits would solve a lot, but the career politicians aren’t likely to change the rules. Maybe this time around a third party can actually get up and running.

Republicans are losing their minds that gas prices are coming down, inflation is getting better, the stock market is going up, and Congress is actually working together on meaningful legislation
Not to mention they have no substantial issues to run on in November

The two sacred cows that Republicans will protect at all costs - the drug industry and the oil industry - lose out if the Inflation Reduction Act passes.
That’s why the GOP is furious.

You forgot about increase funding for the agency which makes sure people pay the taxes they owe.

here’s their issue…
“when we were in charge, gas was $1.50, inflation was 0%, crime and drug overdoses were far lower. 58% of americans said they were better off in 2020 than they were in 2016. How many americns are better off in 2022 then they were in 2021? Had enough?”
the democrats message in 2020 was orange man bad. the gop message in 2022 can be, “had enough”?

Gas was $1.50 because Covid came and “ …when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
Then Trump organized an increase in oil prices, crime started increasing on his watch and the Republican administration tried to perform a self coup.
I'm guessing the mother of all migrant caravans will be approaching the border in late October, only to magically disappear a week later, just like all the others.
And if that’s not enough, they do have homophobia, misogyny and racism-those have worked well for them in the past.

Seem there is a New Abbott crisis
The Texas Department of Agriculture is becoming increasingly worried about escalating attempts by migrants to block Mexican highways,
yep you read it right migrants to block Mexican highways,
But for republicans Putin didn't affect gas prices or global inflation by invading Ukraine
But Migrants Blocking Mexican Highways Could Threaten US Supply Chain

Moody's Analytics finds the Manchin & Schumer-backed Inflation Reduction Act will "nudge the economy and inflation in the right direction, while meaningfully addressing climate change and reducing the government’s budget deficits."

how does printing $600 billion for
wind turbines reduce inflation?
pete, if it does what you say, i’ll be the first to
say “we’ll done.”.
but calling a spending bill the inflation reduction act, just naming it that, doesn’t reduce inflation.

democrat message for midterms…
hey, things aren’t as bad as they were last month! ( except for the fact we’re in a recession, though we’re working on changing the definition away from ‘period of time when the economy is receding”).

MSNBC said today that “Herschel
Walker is what the GOP wants out of its negroes”, and that “his campaign is an insult to black people.”
they can’t just say why his ideas aren’t the best ideas.

You really are just a blind follower
Since we don't control the air, our good air decided to float over to China's bad air, so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move," Walker said. "So it moves over to our good air space. Then, now, we got we to clean that back up."
At one time science said, man came from apes. Did it not?" Walker said at Sugar Hill Church in Northern Gwinnett County, outside of Atlanta, Ga., on March 13. "If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it."
Or
And I want to apologize to the African-American community, because the fatherless home is a major, major problem,' Walker said in a September 2020 interview, adding that he had been 'like a father to some of those kids that had never had fathers,'
Yet he has one he’s never seen but forced to pay child support but hea stuff happens
He’s the candidate just because he’s black . And most black Americans see it for just that !

Four and a half years ago Marjorie Taylor Greene was talking on Facebook Live about how "Q is a patriot" to an audience of hundreds.
Notice that the open use of "Christian Nationalism" has passed its trial balloon phase and has now officially slithered its way into the MAGA glossary.
Now she's the highest profile freshman member of Congress and hanging out with Trump and Tucker Carlson. What a Party

With Meijer getting run out of the party in Michigan, the MAGA GOP successfully reinforces its clear message: there is no place in the current GOP for principled truth-tellers. It is a party for liars.

NEW Monmouth Poll on Americans' preference for control of Congress:
Democrats: 50%, up from 44% in May.
Republicans: 43%, down from 48% in May.
What happened to the ‘Red wave’?
