Y'know, Hillary is such a two-faced hag that Bill clearly hasn't slept with her in decades, but as far as I know, he's completely straight and just fucks whores. Nancy used to be pretty, but then she became such an evil, alcoholic crone that not even her husband wants to sleep with her anymore, nor another woman at this point. Unless it was a beard marriage this entire time, in which case, just how fucked up are their kids? It can't be good on your psyche even as an adult to find out your parents' marriage is a complete sham but they can't/won't divorce for political reasons.

Nancy was obviously keeping all this private through political means and the neighbors may-or-may-not have known about it but everything's so hush-hush, but imagine thinking revealing this as a means to get back at those evil Republicans to stop them from taking back Congress was ever a good idea. Paul was always a crook, but now he's a closet case crook.

How embarrassing for all parties involved.

A week of no-Farms taught me that the right-wing media of America is just as useless as the left-wing, albeit with slightly more sanity and hatred for men in dresses. But the e-grift and clickbait remained as strong as ever. God bless all the patient Farmers who trawl through the dreck on a daily basis.

Grift is always going to be around, unfortunately. We lack an infinite supply of saints.

I have heard that the Dems are pulling money out of some races (Florida, for example). That cash is probably being funneled into the toss-ups because losing those races could be a catastrophe.

Stop trying to put words into my mouth motherfucker. Did I say Roy Moore was a good candidate? No. I didn't.

That doesn't stop the fact that he lost because of slanderous libel. Libel so wrong and cynically pushed that it was found to be so even in the eyes of the American Court System.

I was merely trying to say that it is a good thing that the Walker campaign appears to have weathered the nastiest of the attacks this cycle. It feels like the Republican base is finally learning not to take moderately well crafted Democrat accusations at face value.

That yearbook ever get turned over for examination? I did a quick search and only found garbage from Vox covering for Allred.

They're funneling money to races in Biden+20 seats now also, House Majority PAC just sent $275k to Rep. Joe Morelle in NY-25 even though he's outspending his opponent by a factor of 5 to 1. The whole funding situation for the Dems just seems like a shitshow this cycle; liquidity has dried up, donors have been really stingy and all they can do really is damage control. Mayra Flores might get to serve a full term the way things stand.

You would be right. Cannot remember where I saw it too, but NBC has a piece up hinting towards how bad the Dem internals are right now:
From New York to California, Democrats find they have to spend big in the midterms homestretch to defend incumbents in blue House districts that President Joe Biden easily won two years ago.

The crush of last-minute spending in deep-blue states and Democratic strongholds, detailed through data from the ad-tracking firm AdImpact, underscores just how much the political winds have shifted in Republicans’ favor and how the GOP — buoyed by well-funded super PACs — has expanded the battlefield in the final sprint of the campaign.

In Southern California, Rep. Julia Brownley is making personal appeals to Democratic colleagues to send her campaign cash as her internal polls show a neck-and-neck race with her GOP challenger, two sources told NBC News.

Democrats have spent millions of dollars, raised from party entities and outside groups, to protect Rep. Jahana Hayes, the former Connecticut Teacher of the Year who cruised to decisive victories in 2018 and 2020.

And the House Democrats’ campaign arm last week deployed hundreds of thousands of dollars to save its chairman in a Biden district north of New York City.

It’s not all bad news for Democrats. Recent polling suggests Rep. Sharice Davids of Kansas is viewed favorably by a majority of voters, and the party is making new investments into GOP-leaning seats like Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, just south of Tacoma. But in other parts of the country, Democrats have retrenched by pulling out of races against some vulnerable Republicans, like California Reps. Mike Garcia and Michelle Steel, and shifting that money to protect candidates running for seats once believed to be safe.

“Things are not great. Everyone knows that,” said one House Democrat who has seen outside groups spend millions of dollars in their blue district.

“I think some of these races are tight and so they’re spending. I mean, a lot of these guys in these districts haven’t spent any money. So if you could spend a few bucks and shore it up, then why not?”

But spending money to shore up those races — many of which were not considered nearly as competitive just months ago — adds to the challenges Democrats face in a tough election cycle where Republicans need to flip just five seats in order to take control of the House. And it has Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Dina Titus, a top GOP target despite her Las Vegas district’s blue tilt, pleading with her party and supporters for help.

“Now do you believe me?” Titus tweeted after a new poll showed her tied with her GOP challenger.

A year ago, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, who is poised to become speaker if Republicans flip the House, predicted that his party would pick up more than 60 seats in the 2022 midterms. But this summer, after the Supreme Court abortion ruling energized Democratic voters, McCarthy tamped down expectations, and some Republicans braced for smaller gains in November.

Now, with voters turning their attention back to issues like rising inflation and crime, some Republicans forecast a wider margin of victory on Nov. 8. One House Republican linked to the House GOP’s campaign arm predicted a more than 25-seat net gain, while another lawmaker who’s been campaigning for colleagues across the country said the party will win 250 seats, a 38-seat pickup.

Dan Conston, head of the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with McCarthy, said on a Politico podcast last week that the party will pick up 20-22 seats given how few swing districts there are after redistricting.

Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota, chairman of the House GOP's campaign arm, said Republicans are poised for big wins on election night.

A Democrat-winning election isn't one where the party is throwing money into Rhode Island, New York, Washington, and Oregon, and abandoning Florida, Georgia, and Ohio.
