McAuliffe could have had all the money he wanted, he's the one most responsible for creating the 'Third Way' movement in the Democratic Party which sold the Party (and the nation's future) to Wall Street in exchange for campaign money.

So where's all the breathless analysis about why Phil Murphy mopped the floor with Jack Ciattarelli in New Jersey? You know, all the bewildered speculations about what went wrong and why is Ciattarelli voting booth poison and all that? It is there, right?

Hmm. How do you treat glass shards inhaled into the sinuses.

This makes me feel so very tired. We all have to keep our eyes on the prize, but the prize seems like a mirage, shimmering on the horizon, that can't be reached. I need to recharge.

Let's not forget there was sexual assault case out of Loudon County that was pushed as a case of trans policies putting young girls in danger.The reality that it was dating violence between two people who knew each and not a result of trans policies but isn't the message that stuck.

Every Democrat at every level needs to be screaming about VOTING. Nothing else will work now.

Columnist Will Bunch at the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, presumably while wearing a 1940s fedora with a press card tucked in the hatband

You joke, but this is actually how Will Bunch walks around Philly.

Did those Nazis wear a second belt under the jacket to hold their pants up?

The prize isn't a mirage, but there's a helluva lot of smoke and mirrors being thrown up to obscure that fact. See if this helps your batteries a little bit:https://twitter.com/MeidasT...

It's not enough for these people to prevent their own children from learning things. They want to make sure that no child anywhere learns them, either.

It starting annoying me in high school and has ever since that "world history" always starts with Sumerians, then Bronze Age Middle East, then Greeks, then Romans, then European Middle Age and Renaissance, and for us Americans, then the colonization of the Americas ending with history of the US. I always wondered, what about the rest of the world? I finally realized if I wanted to know, I'd have to learn it myself. And I've been doing that as I get time and opportunity ever since. I'm working my way through the globe. I still haven't done India yet though; that's still on my list.
