I think they were a day late for April fools.
That blank check you “red staters” constantly want to write to Israel allows them to have the US pay for their defense while they offer basically free universal health care and higher education to their citizens. But I guess that’s okay because we can’t turn our backs on keeping God’s chosen people educated and healthy, right?
Promoting liberalism in Kentucky is a losing proposition. From the article, not only did MJ's group fail but virtually every politician associated with it failed to get elected to any office as well.
Politics and business don't mix...despite a lifelong business conman being president right now.
Which proves a point..... no matter how poorly a candidate is qualified.......if he is a Dem they will vote them into office........Look at some of the crazy F'ing crack pots that are freshmen congresspeople.........Yep, a 29 yr old bartender is congressional material.....F'ing stupid is what she is........"zeros don't count for anything....so you just take those zeros off of a billion and it is a million......"? She has a degree in economics from some where....(Boston U.) she graduated with honors?
Now we are getting somewhere.. There are many contractors out there who can do this work and you know there are some that can do it at a reasonable price. If this contractor takes out a bond guaranteeing his contract I say let him get going. Build while the building is good.
Actually states do vote. They actually elect the president. That's what the electoral college is. People vote for electors to represent the state. The state actually votes for president.
Jones is a total fraud and has never planned on actually running for any office.
He's copying the same schtick Howard Stern used for years about running for governor of New York to garner publicity for himself.

No. They wouldn't.
(Most) Conservatives actually respect the Constitution.
21st century "Democrats" are nothing more than communists and their only God is power, and they'll do anything to get it.
Shredding the Constitution is no big deal to libtards.
Import the foreign mob and support rule by mob. Mexifornia is example 1A.
Ocasio-Cortez majored in international relations and economics at Boston University, graduating cum laude in 2011.
That fact says much more about the current quality of American higher education than it does about her political/economic acumen.
You need to give some more thought to which side the fascists are on in this country.
A review of what happened in Charlottesville, and the aftermath, would be a good place to start.
Oh you mean the antifa mob (the left's brown shirts) who initiated the confrontation and violence?
D-ass.
The anti-statue removal groups had a permit.
Do you understand how freedom of assembly works, dopey?
On February 13, 2016, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died.[71] Later that day, Senate Republicans led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a statement that they would not consider any nominee put forth by Obama, and that a Supreme Court nomination should be left to the next President of the United States.[72][73][74]
Someone needs to get back on his meds.
Anyone who says "libtards" or "Trumptards" loses immediate credibility and should not be taken seriously IMO.
Didn't we just have a guy get elected with the slogan Make America Great Again?
How is that not the exact same arrogance?
Not sure what this has to do with not respecting the constitution. What McConnell did is constitutional. The Senate has the right to confirm, reject or not vote on nominees as they see fit. Also there is precedence of both parties playing that game. Democrats sat on Bush's nominees for 8 years, not just a few months.
So can schools just eliminate half their sports programs if half the mens' teams are willing to just call themselves girls?
Got it. When it's your guy, it's cool, but when it's the other party it's not. Pretty standard stuff really.
Just trying to expose the obvious hypocrisy on both sides if the aisle.
She sure doesn't talk like she understands economics..........OAC.."the reason unemployment numbers are down is because people have two jobs".....WTF
There have been 103 prior cases in which — like the case of President Obama’s nomination of Judge Garland — an elected President has faced an actual vacancy on the Supreme Court and began an appointment process prior to the election of a successor. In all 103 cases, the President was able to both nominate and appoint a replacement Justice, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. This is true even of all eight such cases where the nomination process began during an election year. By contrast, there have been only six prior cases in which the Senate pursued a course of action that — like the current Republican Plan — deliberately sought to transfer a sitting President’s Supreme Court appointment power to a successor. In all six such cases, there were, however, contemporaneous questions, not present here, about the status of the nominating President as the most recently elected President. The historical rule that best accounts for senatorial practices over the entirety of U.S. history is thus the following: While the Senate has the constitutional power to provide advice and consent with respect to particular Supreme Court nominees and reject (or resist) particular candidates on a broad range of grounds, the Senate may only use this power to deliberately transfer a sitting President’s Supreme Court appointment powers to a successor in the highly unusual circumstance where the President’s status as the most recently elected President is in doubt.
Given this more than two-century long tradition, the Senate Republicans’ current plan marks a much greater departure from historical precedent than has thus far been recognized. There is, however, still a further question whether the historical rule we uncover reflects a mere senatorial tradition, which should govern internal senatorial practices of fair dealing, or has further ripened into a constitutional rule that should inform the best interpretation of constitutional text and structure. In either case, the consequences of the plan are far more serious than its architects could have originally understood. After describing both possibilities, we suggest that Senate Republicans should rethink their plan so as to avoid these newly exposed historical, pragmatic and constitutional risks. Instead of continuing forward, the Senate should do what it has always done in similar past circumstances. It should proceed to full Senate consideration of Judge Garland or any other nominees that President Obama submits in a timely manner.

Go complain to that creep who enjoys swimming nude in front of female secret service agents and molesting little girls.
And likewise with GOP candidates. If Adolph Hitler ran as a GOP candidate 95% of Republicans would vote for him and if you say otherwise then you know you're a liar.
I’m still looking for some examples of this. Exactly how have conservatives been silenced at colleges? Don’t most of them have some extension of the “Young Republicans” clubs that exist in high schools? Are they banned from speaking their minds on campus? I need some facts, bro.
Also....
Did you guys miss me?
MODS - I promise I won’t bring up anything about our sports teams on here anymore. Let me stick around this time so I can offer up some....you know....DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT! Thank you in advance. I missed this place.
Courageous stance by Joe Biden...he will no longer sniff your wife's hair and he will no longer grope your child.
Hillary and Mitch came to an understanding so she could have her own appointment. This is well known.
Fortunately, she didn't win.
