    Every night you spread fear into our homes—fear of the other, fear of us, and fear of them. Each night you tell us we are not safe. Tonight you’re reminded that we have a voice. Tonight, we remind you that you are not safe either.

    Tuck probably has cameras everywhere, and will relish this. Not a smart move if they actually set foot on the property.

        Where's the proof?

        Just because conservatives are against nearly everything doesn't mean the country is...and that pov is why you guys shouldn't get anywhere near the governing of anything.

          The noise I am hearing is a lot of the bernie/warren type candidates didn't get over the finish line and a lot of the suburban winners are more center/left then progressive. Add that with no wave and a stock market that has increased 28% since Trump took office and I'm not sure what agenda the Democrats will put forward and I'm afraid a lot of people on the left may end up disappointed again.

          And rinse and repeat.

            Yeehaw, more Republicans suing to keep votes from being counted. But I'm sure it's just about making sure no fraud was committed, definitely NOT trying to suppress the vote.

                I just looked at mine. Appears just like always the investor class is raking it in and us 401K folks are getting the scraps. So typical.

                  I think if the Republicans are looking for a bright spot in this election, and it's certainly hard to find one from their prospective, it's this. A lot of the House wins came in suburban districts where the Democratic candidate beat out a fairly moderate Republican candidate in an area that is politically purple at best. Many of those races were pretty tight. Once the Republicans can rid themselves of Trump and the toxic reaction he creates for many suburbanites, the Republicans have at least some chance to try to win some of those seats back.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    Sure. And the Republicans are devoid of any ideas for fixing anything. So, status quo it is. The planet is ****ed.

                      I just want to know what the logical conclusion of the republican government would be.

                      Lets say corp tax is 2%, and the rich pay 5%. The middle class and poor pay 35%.

                      Social Security, Medicare, ACA, and all other public programs are ended.

                      There are no laws on emissions, no protections for animals, and climate change is officially banned from public discourse.

                      Women and minorities can no longer legally vote, own property, or be seen alone in public. Women no longer have any reproductive rights.

                      There is a 100 ft wall erected around the entire country. No one of non white descent is allowed in. Except to work at county clubs.

                      So now what?

                            WaPo and others had this last week- Congress, esp the right, way overestimates how conservative their constituents are.

                              It took like 700,000 voters being purged and 4.5 hour lines for Abrams to lose in Georgia and Eastman barely lost in Nebraska with zero support from the party.

                              Literally all the right has is identity politics and racism, there's no going back. They don't have any actual policy proposals other than to destroy government and enrich 1% of the population which isn't exactly a selling point.
