Some of us remember Democratic PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) from 2008. The result of the GOP primaries on Super Tuesday shows that the PUMA strong is with the GOP. What will Nikki Haley supporters do now—revert to Trump? Stay home? Or (Perish forbid! say they) actually vote for Joe Biden? Anybody who tells you they know the answer is lying, whether to you or to themselves. But we don’t need the whole answer today.
At a July 4th 2008 picnic I met a Black woman who had made the agonizing choice whether to support Hillary to be the first woman president or Obama to be the first black president. As we talked about it I realized that she had had to justify her choice to herself throughout the campaign, and when Hillary had to concede, she was at first in denial, and was then working through the usual stages of grief, in this case for the death of a hope. I told her this, and she agreed with me. It was evident that she would come to support Obama strongly in the campaign and rejoice with the rest of us at his election.
But that was then, and that was our side.

I am pleased to inform you that tomorrow night we will be doing a LIVE, Play by Play, of Crooked Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address. I will correct, in rapid response, any and all inaccurate Statements, especially pertaining to the Border and his Weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, A.G.s, and District Attorneys, to go after his Political Opponent, ME (something never done before in this Country!). We did this once before to tremendous success - Beating All Records. It is important for the Country to get the TRUTH!

I count ten mistruths there, and one false insult. Also his last sentence is true, but a vast misunderstanding on his part. Do NOT play drinking games with official Trump communications.
Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) to deliver the official R response to the SOTU. She promises to talk about the Alabama IVF ruling 🤦 and the “relatability gap” 🤦.
TX Rep. Monica de la Cruz will deliver the Spanish language rebuttal, emphasizing the border 🤦.
The State of the Union speech will be this evening. Will the Rs self-pwn themselves this time? Again?
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik asked yesterday,
As Ronald Reagan famously asked us,
Are you better off today than you were four years ago?
The answer for hard-working Americans across the country is a resounding
No!
Let’s see, four years ago, when Trump was opening the door to a massive covid pandemic? Among other things?

On every economic metric, we are better off. Their only responses are deny, obfuscate, and sue to prevent it.

According to Creationists, what are the strongest arguments against abiogenesis?

I used this next one in a comment recently, but repetition is good.

Have you tried turning it off and taking a nap?
