Agreed, on your stance that it's all pernicious bullshit. I'm the product of an Asian/Hispanic mother and an Irish/Ojibwe father. I am pretty damn white, with red hair, but have the Asian facial features. I grew up in an Asian household and consider myself a person of color, but realize that others may not see it right away. What you and I have in common is more than race, and you probably have that *awesome* experience of a white person proudly sharing their racism with you, assuming that you agree with them. Honestly, that was my most hated experience whilst living in Minnesota, more than the goddamn snow emergency parking rules. Granted, it happens in California too, but not to the degree I encountered in the Midwest. Every time it happened, I was always so shocked and saddened, because I loved Minnesota so much.

That's good. I've noticed that in districts that flip that they tend not to flip back easily.

Fox had Jonathan Turley on basically declaring that even if more votes in Wisconsin went to Joe Biden than to Donald, it's clear that the "intent" of Wisconsin voters was to elect Donald, therefore, by implication, the Supreme Court should just award the state to Donald.

Congratulations to George Washington University for paying this man a handsome salary.

Jonathan Turley is whatever you call a mob lawyer when the mob he works for is a cabal of oil billionaires.

Usually it happens because they get ousted in the primaries.
