BTW, if my child were in a coma because he tried to kill himself a few days ago, I would not be debating strangers on a message board over the...
No, the US is a democratic republic. You don't know what you are talking about. You're just trying to fashion the meaning of terms to your...
And it's really interesting with her son at death's door in a coma, she's focusing on this message board. I guess we all have different...
Oh right, I forgot I was dealing with a right-winger and you get confused by the term 'democracy' because you think it can only mean direct...

The provision that to win statewide office a candidate would have to win a majority of the counties in Texas, gives Loving County, population 64,...
Texas Repubs have just released their platform. It's as insane as you'd expect it to be. Just a few of the platform’s planks: that the Bible...
This will probably bite them in the ass. Unless the WaPo goes full wingnut right, it won't be enough to lure the right-wingers. And if they just...
That last one, of Trump with his daughter in bed, should have disqualified him from ever being elected president. But MAGAs cool with it.

Well he should at least stick around through November. If Trump wins he'll get the dictator he wants without having to move.
Yeah, he clearly doesn't understand what a dictator is. I love it when he claims that Biden, in trying to get certain legislation passed, proves...
