All individual donations apparently
This may have been mentioned in the past but I was scanning a TheWeek issue in the office today and stumbled across a "Only In America" piece that mentioned what I later found here https://www.tennessean.com/story/ne...it-hand-carried-signs-new-building/971396001/.
---Tennesseans will be allowed to bring their guns to the new home of the legislature but must leave any hand-held signs behind, according to a recently implemented policy.
The policy, which Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, R-Oak Ridge, and House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, approved Dec. 14, expressly prohibits “hand-carried signs and signs on hand sticks” because they “represent a serious safety hazard.”---

I'd love to send him some cash. Anyone else interested? We could send it as Redcafe so it's officially on the record.
Neo Nazi party founder Andriy Parubiy was an invited speaker at the senate foreign policy Council a couple of weeks ago. But he is one of the good Nazis who represent US interests.
Just looked this guy up... damn, we do like our pro-US fascists in this country. Nothing has changed.
Dude’s been in several political parties...
Party #1: Social National Party of Ukraine (see what they did there)
And Republicans can't get their heads why Jews vote for the Dems consistently?
Do not see the point of these surveys. Millennials will only have experienced one or two presidents. Boomers will have broader experience. Bit like GOAT football surveys, you are limited by your experience.
Gotta respect that 1/20 of people over 73 are still holding that candle for Nixon
Except that Obama scores relatively well among Boomers and Silents as well.
FDR with 9%... ffs
I'm surprised it's that high...only someone over ~87 would have lived through his presidency long enough to remember any of it.
Still, he’s been dead just 73 years.
You don’t have to remember that much to know the guy who got us through the Great Depression and 99.7% of World War II is better than Donald Fecking Trump.
Not just her either
I missed today's episode of The Coverup Caucus: Kangaroo Court.
Awesome! fecking amazing! I loved that, that's bang on. Someone with some balls at last. Good, I hope it continues.
Feck Crowley. Dems will lose again and blame Susan Sarandon
Its likely a reflection of the current tribal political landscape. People either hate Trump or those who support him instead hate Obama. Everyone who came before them seems to be largely forgotten.
Probably just recency bias there, albeit he'll likely always have inflated figures to an extent due to how polarising he is.
It's down to the libs acting as if trump is something different than the other Republicans and by welcoming david frum and Rick Wilson and john brennan to the "resistance" and by the fact there Obama prosecuted none of these motherfeckers because there are zero consequences in Washington because politicians in both parties have more in common with each other than any normal person.
where is john yoo these days? Or Alberto Gonzales or Erik prince or condoleeza rice or paul Bremer? There are zero consequences for any of these pieces of shit. Obama and holder swept it under the rug.
No wonder people have forgotten

He has a positive approval rating among Democrats.
Well...he‘s got a point. The dems could do a lot worse than Kavanaugh and the tantrum they are throwing over him doesn’t let them look good in respect to the whole Garland disaster. What I do not understand most of all is what the dem leadership is thinking what they can gain here. Trump will get that seat no matter what, it’s stupid. If you want to make a point, campaign to reform the whole ridiculous SCOJ concept.
Most pressure groups were hoping to block the nomination via any one of Collins or Murkowski (which was admittedly a long shot). It will be impossible to stop with Dem defections.
I have explained my problems with him in other posts - basically, his stances on political and environmental issues will be disastrous, just like every other Federalist judge. I f there is *any* way of stopping him till November, Dems need to grab it.
As a counterpoint: supposedly, blocking a moderate like Garland would play badly for Republicans in purple districts/states. Result? Trump wins all swing states except Virginia, and the GOP defended 22 of 24 senate seats, keeping their majority.
They will use the SCOTUS pick to generate voter turnout in November. If they simply rolled over and allowed Kavanaugh to sail through then that would annoy the base and probably suppress turnout.
Exactly. I'm sick of the hypocrisy. The Dems act so fecking righteous yet they excuse corruption and whatever else they feel like at the time. The whole system is corrupt as feck as are many of the people involved in it.
The entire thing needs to be restructured and the constitution rewritten to reflect modern ideals and beliefs. The Dems need to rid themselves of their corrupt wing and move ahead truly going high when everyone else goes low or else things will never ever really change.

Don't Republican voters love themselves a SCOTUS pick even more than Democrats?
