Can't you find something else to call him other than fat? Lots of people are fat. Many of them are nice people. How much he weighs is completely irrelevant to what an asshole he is.

Also? Rittenhouse is not fat, so there's that.

ETA: I am, however, on board with him spending very long time in prison.

And do not think, even if you fail this time, that you are not appreciated. The only way to win is to get into the fight, even if you are pretty sure you will lose. Thanks for trying. Never give up. I understand about this. I live in Texas.

Oh, shut up.

[sorry. I'm just so tired of these doomsday scenarios. I am thinking that Trump will be squashed like a bug in the Electoral college, because he barely squeaked by the last time and now the current catastrophe is entirely his. And his opponent is not a woman, and was not the primary target of the Two Minute Hate of the right-wing noise machine for 20 years.]

The Democratic Party have to stop being "strategic" and pretending this is any other year. Everywhere is in play if they spend some money and make the effort.

God, have they been attacking her for only twenty years? I don't remember a time when they weren't attacking her.

Thanks for this! Although Trump’s changed a lot of things for the worst, political gravity still exists, and, outside of his base, he’s dragging behind him around 200,000 dead and a shattered economy, and the bastard’s the third president to be impeached. After one term.

There’s a certain point where people go, this is getting a bit ridiculous. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

Good enough! I've had enough hooch for the night, time for ice cream!

I'm not fat, and since I already got cancer (mabye cured! Maybe.) I'm kind of in you-only-live-once mode.

Juana misspelled 'fart.'

So, that group Get Rid of Mitch or Die Trying raises multiple millions of dollars in a weekend so I guess not everyone has thrown in the towel yet. Our group has been putting up anti Mitch billboards in places they've never been before, we are doing GOTV efforts targeting Dem women who have not been voting the last few cycles and whatever else we can. We've received an uptick in donations and expect more so I'm glad people around the state and around the nation have not given up on us. It's disheartening to hear people write us off when we're working so hard.

Well thanks a lot. We're working our asses off down here, but go ahead, make us feel like our trouble isn't worth it. I'm glad you got all the support you needed when you needed it, including from me, yet when we need support...meh..."lost cause".You don't need to send one penny to any of us here in KY, but you can help by not encouraging others to write us off too because you don't think it's worth it.

'Msipi'? That's how they pronounce it. Not quite 'insipid'.

Made my donation to Espy. I wouldn't have known about him and his chances without this article. News I can use. Thanks!
