The cross on Darline's chest signals that she has been prepared.

Republican politics has become a malfunctioning chatbot with one response. Ask about Taiwan, it says men in women’s sports. Ask about inflation, it says pronouns. Ask how many people live in South Carolina, apparently it says 50 million and then salutes. Darline isn’t unqualified because she lacks polish. She’s unqualified because she wants a Senate seat before bothering to learn what senators do. Nepotism used to at least come with a briefing binder.

....Evan, this couldn't be said any better about maga and the inbred people in it.... you summed this up perfectly....

...."But this is not an educated country, this is a failing country full of the stupidest, most debased, devalued and devolved humans the species has ever produced.

So of course, Dumbfuck Darline is making “men in women’s sports” a centerpiece of her campaign to replace her dead brother in the Senate.

Why learn about things when the modern Republican Party doesn’t require you to be anything more than a stupid fucking bigot?

In that case, Darline is ready on day one. "

It was my understanding that there would be no politics.

Get ready, republicans are running 100% on “no men in ladies sports!” It’s a winner. Simple people think they are sensible for nodding earnestly at such an obvious notion. And they are “protecting” girls and women. What, you don’t agree!? They simply tell people Democrats want men in women’s sports. This is the 2026 version of Haitians should NOT eat our pets! It’s all insane, irrelevant bullshit. Trans rights are real, but it’s hard to defend human rights when the masses are idiots who couldn’t care less, and can’t focus on the actual issues anyway.

Dems might have to be careful to be efficient about trans rights, simply stating the obvious that all people deserve respect and a place in the world and human rights and dignity. Now let’s talk about the wars and economy and corruption and billionaires consolidating power to control the 90% of us who aren’t rich.

But what about men dressing like women to get into my daughter’s potty at school!!! Where are the occasionally brave republicans like John McCain who might reply “no, ma’am, that’s not happening.”

All politics are local. Hard to say which one is better: Graham or Norman. At least Graham seems to have some capacity to grow into the role of Senator, where Norman's views are fairly well frozen in MAGAland.

The more important question is which one is more likely to lose against the Democratic candidate?

I see she's got the Laura Ingraham/KKKaroline Leavitt/Katie Britt/etc etc "lying while wearing a crucifix" act down. Because Rethugs aren't about policy; they're all about putting on a show.

I saw a bluesky post where a rightwinger was being interviewed and he gleefully described everything he did as acting, I think they all do.

In fairness to Ms. Nordone, this is the same level of understanding of foreign policy and defense issues as her president.

She just needs to learn to say that tariffs will take care of anything.

It is interesting that the likes of Hannity and others are now defending MAGA by admitting they are stupid. After all, if you asked the proven rapist (as upheld by the Supreme Court twice!) Trump to point to Taiwan, he would probably just point to his chest and say "I didn't know it had a number, but this is my tie."

"But this is not an educated country, this is a failing country full of the stupidest, most debased, devalued and devolved humans the species has ever produced.

Not everybody, but certainly MAGA.

We assume someone has been briefing her on what she’s supposed to care about " Yes, and the first lesson was not "here's what you should know about Taiwan." No the lesson she learned is "mention that you support the troops." Because, for Rethugs, it's all about posturing.

I don't understand why she accepted the invitation to run in her brother's seat. Did they show her the kompromat on her brother? Would it shame the family?

Fingers crossed the voters realize this means she's not fit.

Certainly not Rethugs, who consistently make it a point to vote for the worst possible person.

Stochastic reminder about the Gee Oh Pee, there's a word for that:

I am all of my comrades humble servant (I serve to live and live to serve). And a quick reminder, Queen Becca and Prince Shy are the absolute bestest ever. When I left the Pgh meetup, she kissed me on both cheeks. And I smooched her back. I might not wash up for a fortnight.

It doesn't take much skill to 𝘣𝘦 a Senator. It takes a lot of skill to be a 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 one.

Please share a story about a good senator. I haven't heard one.
