The nut group that wanted to impeach Rosenstein. See there is room for a few nuts on each side.
Yeah, because wanting him to stop defying a court-ordered subpoena is nutty. Right....
A Chicago-based newspaper columnist predicted re-election for President Trump in 2020 after witnessing first-hand the enthusiastic support for the president among blue-collar workers.
Neil Steinberg attended a recent appearance by the president at a U.S. Steel facility in Granite City, Illinois, outside St. Louis. He wrote about speaking to steel workers and seeing how Trump connected with the audience.
"We need steel," Trump said. “We need steel plants. And to see an old, big monster plant like this re-opening — that is an honor. I look at the faces of you people; I could be one of you. I like you guys. I could be one of you.”

Kicking ***...er...winning!!!
This group has legal oversight over the DOJ. They have security clearances. Rosenstein is required to comply. Period. Without oversight, we could have bad cops running our DOJ.

Go Bernie bots! Vote 3rd party! Go Green Party!
Green Party, Eyeing the 2020 Presidential Race, Prepares for the Midterms
The Greens want no part of Democratic Party’s ascendant left wing: As much as they may loathe President Trump, they say several issues — including corporate donations and support for capitalism — have rendered both the Democrats and the Republican Party rotten to the core.
A wave of liberal excitement has raised hopes for a “blue wave” in the midterms and empowered a new crop of progressive Democrats, like the democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But it has also paid dividends for the Green Party, whose formal endorsement of anticapitalism in 2016 helped set them apart from the Democrats and contributed to a swell of new members, many of them young people and ex-Democrats embittered by Mr. Sanders’ primary loss.
The Greens find themselves looking optimistically toward the 2020 presidential election, but it is unclear who their standard-bearer would be. Jill Stein, the party’s nominee in 2012 and 2016, said in an interview that she would like to see the party cultivate new leaders.
Greens bristle at the “spoiler” accusation, which they say ignores poll data that suggested many of Ms. Stein’s 2016 supporters either would not have voted if she had not been on the ballot or would have voted for Mr. Trump.
“Candidates have to earn votes, they don’t own votes,” Ms. Stein said. “That in a nutshell is the problem with the Democrats, it’s the arrogance of thinking they own the system.”

Couldn't have said it better myself. I felt the same way about established Republicans when I cast my vote for Trump as well.
Unfortunately I think my major GOP candidates will lose. Somehow an arrogant ******* won the gubernatorial primary, Sen. Casey has a job for life being a Democrat, and my U.S. Rep is keeping his distance from President Trump, probably due to the large number of Democrats in his district, but I think that's a mistake.
The guy running for governor in Florida nails it though.

Centrist Democrats in Maryland Side with Republican Governor Over Progressive Democrat
'Maryland gubernatorial nominee Ben Jealous needs all the help he can get to unseat incumbent Gov. Larry Hogan (R), but he’s facing resistance from some fellow Democrats uneasy with his left-wing platform.
Some centrist Democrats in Maryland are so afraid of Democratic gubernatorial nominee Ben Jealous’ platform that they’re choosing the current Republican administration.
Last week, The Washington Post reported that top-ranking Democratic officials in Maryland are either refusing to endorse Jealous — the former NAACP president who easily beat his closest rival in the Democratic primary by nine points — or are siding with Governor Larry Hogan (R), who is battling for re-election in the traditionally blue state.

Marxist Women Scream At Female Journalist For Warning Them About Sharia Law
Michigan voters are gearing up to vote in their Primary on August 7, and one of the candidates running to become the next Governor of Michigan happens to be a Sharia compliant Muslim.
Abdul El Sayed is a Democrat Socialist gubernatorial candidate in Michigan. Although El-Sayed is currently third in the polls, the Democrats and their activists, including Linda Sarsour, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been vigorously campaigning for him.
El-Sayed is not only a Sharia compliant Muslim, but he is a Democrat socialist running on a Marxist political platform as a self-proclaimed “justice Democrat”.
After I questioned El-Sayed about Sharia, I was swarmed by a group of his Marxist female supporters who verbally attacked me over my questions and facts about Sharia.
Despite the fact that under Sharia women as viewed as property, sexually and physically abused, subjected to female genital mutilation, forced into arranged marriages, and can be honor killed and stoned to death if they are not modest enough or engage in pre-marital sex, the women who attended El-Sayed’s event remained adamant in defending the barbaric practice of Sharia in Michigan.
In fact, one Marxist woman who was screaming in my face said, “It’s their [Muslims] choice” to practice Sharia in the United States if they so wish."
But, in reality, Muslims do not have the right to practice Sharia Law in America, as there is no disputing the fact that Sharia Law is inherently and completely incompatible with the American values that are established within the United States Constitution.

This is a great article by a former democrat who blames the unhinged left for her leaving the democrat party.

I thought it was an internet hoax like everyone on the left has been telling me. Nobody is leaving the Democratic party because they have gone completely insane, surely.
Not sure how the GOP is feeling right around now about holding onto some of those southern states in November.
I think they are feeling the same way that the Dems feel.....that there is a lot of work that needs to be done between now and then. I hope the Dems feel that they got this in the bag. Did not serve them well in 2016.

All Democrats are communists at heart
"Sorry, Democratic Socialists — you’re still pushing poison"
In the crazy, topsy-turvy year of 2018, socialism is somehow on the rise in America. To those of us unfortunate enough to have been born in the Soviet Union, this is troubling.
The new socialists say it’s different this time. They have a new name and everything: “Democratic Socialism.”
Don’t buy it: It’s still based on the same old, failed redistributionist tenets as the old kind — the kind that gave rise to devastating failure in my family homeland.
The second-most famous Democratic Socialist in America right now, after kingmaker Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders, is New York City congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The newcomer does her best to explain the snake oil: It’s “the basic belief” that “in a moral and wealthy America . . . no person should be too poor to live in this country.”
And so on and so on-----
Sure, Democratic Socialists take pains to disassociate themselves from the Soviet failure. The Young Democratic Socialists of America website devotes a whole section to why the Soviet Union’s collapse doesn’t discredit their economic model. Yet their ideas just aren’t much different from those that formed the basis for that failed state: “from each according to his ability to each according to his needs.”
That Democrats and millennials seem to have no idea about the horrors inflicted on the masses in countries like the Soviet Union and want to go in that direction is scary indeed. Let’s just hope the majority of Americans reject that idea.

Trump-backed candidates 5-0 last night. Red wave forming.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...in-kansas-gubernatorial-primary-idUSKBN1KT1KI
Trump's picks go 5 for 5 if this holds, huh? I'd say that's a pretty good night for POTUS and of course, Americans.

No matter what happens in November, the media will spin it to be "Trump bad". I already know the narrative before it has happened.
Of course when Democrats lost 70 congressman and 900 state legislators during Obama's tenure, that was NEVER a black mark on his Presidency to the media. They loved him and made excuses for him.

Dems are feeling the pressure!
Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) caved on Wednesday, suggesting that he will support funding President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall in a September spending bill.
Donnelly, who is facing intense scrutiny over his position on immigration from Indiana Senate Republican nominee Mike Braun, said on Wednesday that he is fine with giving President Trump up to $5 billion in funding for his promised wall on America’s southern border.

2 of the 5 could be heading for recounts and even if the Dem loses the House Seat in Ohio, looks like he has a good chance to
win the rematch in November. It appears suburban areas are souring on Trump.

It was stupid to hold a special election this close to November anyway. Ohio elected a guy to campaign for three months. Makes perfect sense.
The democrat national groups have dumped millions into these special races... they have been outspending the republicans by a two to one or greater margin... im not sure come november when both parties spending big you will see the same effect... the Dems had to win some of these or the narrative falls flat... it reminds me of the post al gore bush election... the Dems were hopping mad and gonna run away with everything, but then they lost seats and blamed it on 9/11

More people vote in November rather than primaries, so it will depend on who has the motivated voters at that point.
