Isn’t everything?
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Crushed by 5.1 million votes. That's 800k better than Hillary.

And the popular vote count is over 7 million as well.

We seriously need to "California" up a bunch of other states, ASAP.

Make teleworking great again and offer a monetary bonus to people to move to your state and the popular vote can course correct the electoral one.

I suppose I come off as defensive. But I see so much negativity regarding California. And personally, I really like it here.

It's beautiful. I lived in Salinas as kid and went to Monterey often. I've visited San Diego on a number of occasions from work to leisure. Went to Palm Springs for a wedding a couple years ago and San Francisco for my birthday. I went to Coachella a few times too. My best friend from the military is from Sacramento and my wife is from Redlands. Her sister and brother in law live there. I really want to do the Pacific Coast highway drive at some point.

But I cannot live there. It costs far too much. And despite my politics aligning with it these days, I'm still turned off by it. The politicians that run the place put me off. And I like guns.

So ...

Biden is currently winning in the real Presidential election, 166-103. AZ, GA, NV, PA, and WI have cast their electoral votes for Joe Biden.

New: BSF's 2 buddies down the street call on Boston Management, who feel that a real baseball player should have the job, to instead let him have a crack at starting Shortstop next year. More at 11 on this very credible story.

25 year old Madison Cawthorn beat a retired colonel. He's wheelchair bound and a breath of fresh air for outreach to young Republicans everywhere. He will immediately become a shining star in the party.

Now look at Democrats with AOC. Democrats prefer John Kasich over a young, intelligent Latina from the Bronx who doesn't take shit from anyone.
He's very high on my list of congressional members who are gonna fuck up in a very public way at some point.
Still feeling good about this bet.

This is a perfect example of where liberal media fucking loses me.

There are literally outdoor recreation trips to Austria where you visit the Eagle's Nest. You sign up for them on base.

The bigger issue is calling him the Furher and faintly praising him. Not because he posts pictures on Instagram.

why is one random cnn commenter = "liberal media"

eta: also, the criticism of cawthorn has not been the trip itself, but what he said about said trip

Sorry, liberal media TYPES. Since we're being pedantic.

And not for nothing, read the sentence in that tweet:
And unlike Cawthorn, Warnock doesn’t take trips to Hitler’s vacation home and post them on Instagram.
Maybe you should tweet at him since you're in a mood to be very specific right now.

So the meat of that tweet thread is what he said about watnock more than the hitler stuff. I was just calling back to a comment I made at the election.

Oh, I'm not mad at you at all. It was more of an annoyance that acting like traveling to a historical place and taking pictures is somehow tantamount to being the worst human being.

Liberal minded types need to stick to the point rather than trail off.

I don't know why it's a big deal to get worked up about a loosely defined group of people over one guy's poorly worded tweet

MC's also, as you said previously in the thread, not a breath of fresh air. he's breathing the same air that's been breathed by the GOP over the last 35 years. he's just simply a different messenger.

Then agree to disagree. From what I'm seeing and reading it feels like the trip itself is as terrible as what was said on it. The message, to me, is muddied and not clear.

And being 25, disabled, and beating a retired colonel to become the youngest member of Congress in history is a breath of fresh air in conservative political terms.

To everyone else with a brain, he's a fucking hack who should fail eventually.

I’ve been to auschwitz but it didn’t come out thinking it was cool in any way. His reactions to it are why he caught flak.

And again maybe I could have found a better tweet without the added commentary. But what he said was ignorant on multiple levels and dog whistling at a minimum.

Just circling back, looks like it’s gonna be Bogaerts. Many people still believe it was an inside job am I’m sure it will be proven soon.

Orange County, he ran as a Republican, and has name recognition. Option B is the far more surprising one.
