I’m mildly impressed the NYT tracked down the cousin. Most publications wouldn’t have bothered.
Also impressed the reporter was able to turn this phrase:
Mr. Trump, Mr. Porter said, poked his finger in his chest and told him to deliver to Mr. Kinzinger a vulgar message about what he should do with himself. When Mr. Porter relayed the comment to Mr. Kinzinger during a conversation on Election Day, Mr. Kinzinger laughed and invited Mr. Trump to do the same.
Yeah. Mitch thinks he can influence primaries to get sane candidates, just lol at that.
The Mitch backed candidates will prob have more money than a Trumpist, but I’m of the opinion that money isn’t mattering very much any more.
These people just fucking love low taxes and Ronnie Reagan too much to switch; they’d rather lose to the crazies than flip to the other side. I don’t know much about Kinzinger but at this point I doubt he has any future as a Repub but I’m sure bipartisan-obsessed Dems would love to vote for him, no clue what his district is like.
He was on Colbert after the insurrection. He seemed like a completely reasonable and sane republican. No wonder they hate him.
Will there ever be a month on this site with more posts about President Biden than ex-President Trump?
0%
Not for a while if ever. But that’s because Trump is such a freak. The outrageous personalities are going to gain attention in entertainment and sports too. How could you expect otherwise?
That made me think, I’m aware of a decent amount of people switching Dem to Rep, but I don’t know of any cases of Rep to Dem. Is that accurate? Is Dem to Rep way more common?
Didn’t a lot of people leave the GOP after the insurrection? I remember hearing about it
I don’t know if by “people” you mean “people you know” or “famous politicians”, but both Jim Jeffords and Arlen Specter switched from R to D while in the senate this century.
Even if he dies it’ll be 0%
Biden doesn’t do too many insanely stupid things while Trump has done enough to last an entire life’s worth of posting.
This is probably the real problem with politics. It’s just entertainment now.
Oh boy! A fucking commission! Hopefully it will justify expanding the domestic surveillance state even more!
nobody ran against him last time in that district
but illinois has to redraw the districts and lol them if the seat they’re losing isn’t a R
They’ll draw it to get rid of an R, the question is whether the R is Kinzinger or someone else.
Maybe if she asks Daddy Mitch nicely they’ll be able to something.
So weird that she’s asking for a truth commission when all of right-wing media is assuming she knew about if not orchestrated the attack because reasons.
