I don't think this has been brought up here but in an interview yesterday on (where else Fox & Friends), Trump said he thinks Rep. Devin Nunez deserves the Medal of Freedom award for his handling of the Russia probe
During a wide-ranging interview on Fox & Friends, Trump repeated his denial that there was any collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives and denounced special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation as "disgraceful" and a "witch hunt." It was in that context that he said Nunes, the California Republican who serves as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, deserves the military's highest honor.
"If this turns out as everyone thinks it will, Devin Nunes should get the Medal of Honor," he said. "What he's gone through, and his bravery, he should get a very important medal."
Apparently realizing that the Medal of Honor is awarded for military valor, Trump then added, "Maybe we'll call it the Medal of Freedom because we actually give them, the high awards for civilians."

Well, voter suppression is the only play Republicans have left as they damn sure can't run on their record which has been flat out deplorable.
My guess is it might. While it's been said Kanye is nuttier than a truckload of Planters (he's married to a Kartrashian after all), he isn't stupid.
As a veteran, the idea of a weasel like Nunes getting a medal dedicated to our servicemen and servicewomen offends and angers me no end.

I don't like to even talk about Kanye because that's exactly what he wants, but I will say that there's a part of me that wishes Taylor Swift had knocked some sense into him when he attempted to ruin her award ceremony.
Just like with Trump, you can't let bullies get away with their foolishness as it only encourages them to be even more foolish in the future.
Now, thanks to said ignorance we have Taylor Swift being criticized by Republicans for telling people to get informed and to go vote while simultaneously praising Kanye's support of Trump, despite Kanye's failure to educate himself on even the basics regarding many of Trump and the Republican party's policies.

C'mon now, you know damn well the dead LAST thing the GOP wants is an educated and informed electorate, because those people would learn the policies of Republicans and the scumbags who run on them are singularly abhorrent and steer clear of that bullshit like it's radioactive. Just like Trump, GOP leaders want their voters to be good and stupid and wholly ignorant of the fact Republicans are hellbent on keeping them poor and sick and disenfranchised while bleating that liberals, minorities, illegals and gays are to blame for all their troubles. As for Kanye, I'm convinced his so-called summit with Dolt45 was nothing more than a glorified photo op designed to sell records, nothing more, nothing less.

Stock market had a major jump and is now in free-fall, with little chance of jumping back up today.
One more day and it will be considered a crash, or as the GOP changed the term, a "recession."

It's more than that. While Bernie would have lost fairly in the end, it really looked like the party wasn't willing to take that risk. In Nevada the opposite of what you describe happened - Bernie's supporters were shifting superdelegates under the rules, so the party voted to change the deadline - basically saying "We just decided that you should have done all that last week." It was a stupid and unnecessary move that likely convinced a lot of people that their vote didn't matter - how many of them stayed home on election day?
This one is for WBE. I mean...yikes.

Last I heard, Wagner was trailing Tom Wolf by double digits here in Pennsylvania, so I guess desperation has set in, what with the midterms less than a month away, thus the thug tactics. Hell, not even Trump went THAT far while on the campaign trail, but then, the notion of a blubbery toad like Trump threatening violence against someone is patently laughable.
