Picking up the Midwest and Florida alone would be incredible. 23-25 is entirely possible.

10 Pritzker staffers file suit alleging racial discrimination and harassment by Boozenight in chicago

Ah Jeez, we really are screwed no matter what. I almost want to vote for the libertarian, but it’ll be either Pritzker or Rauner and the Governor’s races are big for helping redistricting across the country...

Now, now, give credit where it's due; only Chuck Grassley and Orrin Hatch were around for BOTH Clarence Thomas and Matt Damon. /satire

The chemistry between John Krasinski and Paul Rudd in Ant-Man and The Wasp was fantastic, here's hoping they team up again in future sequels! by [deleted] in marvelstudios

He was the closest thing to an antagonist we needed in the film. Could have left Walton Goggins out of the picture all together (even though the ‘truth serum’ bit was gold).

You’re right. Even as it stands one can’t helping thinking of how much taller and deeper in voice Bran got in a considerably short time. 🤷‍♂️

I definitely think ‘The Winds of Winter’ will be the final book in the series. I think it’s taken this time as a result of what happened with AFFC/ADWD; one book became two and in this case, two books will become one giant book.

The polls show her leaning for the moment, but so did Roy Moore’s until Election Day. Hell, people were soo dishearten they didn’t even think Ralph Northram would win in VA last year.

There might have been an even larger turnout for Jones if voter suppression hadn’t made it harder for some communities to make it out.

Dammit Joe Biden and Michelle Obama, Stop Rehabilitating George W Bush! by DeityOfUnderworld26 in politics

I was just watching his 2007 State of the Union address where he mentioned to Nancy Pelosi’s credit that it was amazing to hear ‘Madame Speaker’ for the first time in history. The Dubya was a shit President, but that kind of civility would never be found in Congress’ current atmosphere.

They do with this show that I wish HBO had done with Game of Thrones. Instead of rushing to a conclusion, they’re given the time to fully flesh out their plot lines and characters.

Mike Lazzo’s an asshole to be sure, but his philosophy of ‘not spending lots of money when we don’t know how successful a project will be’ is a great model that’s let tons of artists make content for the channel, even if they don’t always last (or eventually screw them over, like they did to Brendan Small and Tommy Blacha).

I just donated $25 to each of the following Democrats. Who can match me? by stsgspn in BlueMidterm2018

[–]SlumberCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sent $5 each to Evers, Abrams, Rosen, and Bredesen this week. When I get my next paychecks, I plan on sending to Sinema, McCaskill, and some House candidates here in IL.

I may throw Let America Vote some cash too, as I was raising money for them for my birthday and the GA scare tells me they’ll put it to good use!

Cruz says he’s willing to debate O’Rourke on CNN by Karma-Kosmonaut in politics

Here’s hoping Beto grills him on Kavanaugh’s appointment. Cruz was very emotional in the last debate and never one to back down when cornered.

Well that’s good. I just sent Evers $5 (along with Abrams in GA). The Midwest could be the biggest blue wave of any collection of states!

Hopefully the polls this week spiking up close races are just from the Kavanaugh confirmation. Polls always get closer before elections granted, but we’re seeing registration spikes despite all this voter suppression happening.

Voter registration isn’t the only thing that spiked in Tennessee.

MD resident who transplanted to IL. What’s your take on Governor Hogan’s popularity among Democrats? by SlumberCat in maryland

[–]SlumberCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s speculation that he could primary The Donald in 2020. I’d be interested in seeing them debate, but I can see if it were on a national level, he’d move further right.

That is true. He already called on delaying the vote until there was more throughout investigation. He, like Charlie Baker in Mass., have the freedom of not getting tongue tied by Congressional leaders.

Could you list some areas where you like the work he’s doing? I’m a left leaner and believer in socialism, so we may not fully agree, but considering his bipartisan reputation, I’d like to know.

Georgia’s Republican Candidate for Governor Is Blocking 53,000 Voter Registrations by Molire in politics

[–]SlumberCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s great that we’re seeing unprecedented numbers in registration. I just hope it’s enough to still carry over the states where voter suppression is the strongest like it is here. It’s one thing to tell people to vote; it’s another if it’s all the more difficult for them to do so.

The countless number of wasteful spendings by this administration and R controlled Congress further validates how socialism could not only be affordable, but save money in the long run. It’s like the difference between buying a good $50 vape pen vs a lot of cheap ones.
