I think the GOP flips Nevada, and the dems flip Pennsylvania. North Carolina is something i feel like the democrats think they can win every election and I feel like they never do.

I think Ohio is a toss up at this point. Vance is a terrible candidate and Tim Ryan has run a good campaign. Ohio and Georgia (as sad as that is) are the true toss ups imo.

So here's the issue. If these are former felons they do have the right to vote because there was a referendum on it during the last election to restore voting rights once time was served (although it should be noted that restoration of voting rights is not granted for certain felonies: murder, sex offenders...basically the worst of the worst). DeSantis, the absolute piece of #### that he is, made a law saying that these people have to repay some "fees" before their voting rights could be restored...basically some made up bull#### polling tax to keep them from voting because they can't afford it (or don't even know that they "owe" anything").

Completion of the sentence means:
Prison or jail time;
Parole, probation, or other forms of supervision; and
Payment of the total amount of all fines, fees, costs, and restitution ordered as part of the felony sentence.

But he's charging these people now for the ####ing theater of it, using people like pawns just like he did when he flew migrants to Martha's Vineyard.

Make no mistake about it, DeSantis is dangerous and we should do everything in our power to make sure he's voted out in the next election, and never holds public office again.

If the government gives you a voter card and you don't qualify, they should be the ones disciplined, not the person who was told they could apply(if they answer the questions honestly).

The timing of this, and the media consequently generated around it, seems particularly well timed to create fear among members of a certain group of voters and increase chances they stay away from the polls in November.

Is his seat even at risk down there though? From the polling I've seen, it's about as safe as a seat can be. Realistically, it seems he'll be Florida's guy until he doesn't want it or if he gets elected into the WH.

Well it would be helpful if they could put up a stronger candidate than Charlie Crist. He's got a mixed record in leadership and is a weak campaigner.

When he said "progressive left" he wasn't referring to socialism, he meant his hand.

[MoneyGuy]

Conservative political commentator Nick Adams is tweeting that Herschel Walker will make a great president one day. That tells you all you need to know about Adams’ intellect.

[PsYcNeT]

Nick Adams sucks, but he's one of the few guys that I can definitively say is taking the piss the majority of the time.

He's not a true believer, he's just got a gift for riling people up.

Another Republican rubbing out his political career before it starts. Then again, conservatives love a good redemption story, so it might help this guy and finding more stiff support. There's a guy who has signs up around Gilbert, AZ who's not running for office, but he just wanted to put up a sign. He goes by the handle Dixon Butts. This guy running for the Maricopa College's seat should change his name and follow Dixon's lead. I'm suggesting Busta Nutt. Could really be the climax of his campaign!

Whacking off outside a school, but they want to "protect children" from the scary gays.

Yeah, every time a politician is arrested for sexual misconduct it’s a Republican - the party of law and order. Maybe I’m forgetting but I don’t remember there being a Democrat.

Anthony Weiner. Was he arrested?

No. There's no law for sending pictures of your junk to other people unless they are a minor. If there was, half this country would be in jail.

Is jerking off outside a preschool even disqualifying for a GOP candidate anymore?

Seems like their voters will take pretty much any bowl of #### they're served.

Anyone remember Ralph Shortey? Mr. Family Values and anti-drug that was busted in a hotel room with a minor boy, a box of condoms and a bunch of weed back after Trump got elected. The party of hypocrites and pervs.

Anthony Weiner?? He did send #### to a minor, was arrested by the FBI, charged, convicted and served prison time.
