I spent 17 years in Dade and Broward, including 2 years working in Carl's grandfather's law firm. Life there was just as insane and surreal as any of Carl's novels.

I got that figure from an op-ed in the Richmond Times-Dispatch - attributed to nameless campaign sources (who added that they really had no clue what it would be). Reports are coming in now that more than 16,000 ballots have been cast, with two more hours to go.

So I’m currently in line in Richmond for the primary. I have been in line for the last 40Minutes- I have never seen so many people come out to vote in one location. The car voting line is about 50 cars deep.

Jennifer McClellan is an awesome legislator and we would be lucky to have her in Congress. I’m hopeful she wins.

This is such a Democrat stronghold district that whoever wins here likely wins the seat. That being said, a lot of people hate Joe so if he won the primary there would be a gop pickup opportunity if people don’t vote

Edit- just to add. Joe m ran for mayor a couple years ago. Another candidate dropped out because he was worried he would split the vote - that is how much people hate him. But his supporters really love him too so who knows

I’ve been in line for 45 minutes and still haven’t made to the front. I expect the numbers to be a whole lot higher just from the line itself. One of the other locations has a car line 1/2 mile long.

He should take his cue from Congressman-elect Santos. Just make shit up that sounds good. Always better than the truth.

The big takeaway here is that, even if he didn't use his penis in an appropriate manner, at least he has one.

So what? What could possibly be in a Democratic elected official's tax return that would come close to matching the shitstorm that Trump's return has to be.

Nothing a round of golf and some mobile egoboo won't solve.

I honestly don't understand the need. I mean, it takes a shitload more time and energy to be a flaming jackass than just a normal, decent person.
