Reminders about the felon and the GOP: perpetration of sexual abuse, protection of those who sexual abuse, and persecution of those who fight sexual abuse
The DOJ’s decision to go after E. Jean Carroll annoyed me to the point that I’m doing an extra outside the usual focus on corruption and the economy to remind everyone what a creepy, dishonest, sexual abuser the felon is. Of course, it’s not just the felon, but many in the GOP (and a few…

Fmr. VA Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R/3x Trump Voter): “In Donald Trump’s GOP there is no room for dissent. You must back Trump all the way every time, or he and his most ardent supporters…will come after you.”
Cross posted from Blue Virginia This morning, former Virginia Lt. Gov.

Texas: A vote for Paxton is a Vote for Democracy – VOTE!
I have been getting flyers in the mail and I admit to voting for Paxton in the GOP primary. Why? I disagree with everything that both Paxton and Cornyn do.
