2026 Midterms Discussion

She's more qualified to hold a Senate seat in South Carolina than "the most qualified person ever" was to hold one in New York in 2000.

For starters, she actually LIVES there.

And what exactly are the qualifications to be a Senator? Yes, she got the job because of her name. But she is well educated and has a long career working with the blind. I think she is intelligent enough to figure it out.

Being a senator is easy. Just look at how everyone else on your side of the aisle is voting and do the same. And best of all, it’s time for yet another vacation after all that hard work.

Definitely, it is the epitome of citizen government.

Apparently Ms Fake Chest is upset about someone having real qualifications…..

That’s right, and if one out of every 20 votes, you don’t go along, they start declaring you are the enemy of the party and lining up someone to replace you.

They might even intrude upon you while using the bathroom, and there is a group of so-called civil libertarians who will defend people who confront you in the bathroom.
 
Mace’s candidate is two years older than the guy who just died.

Speaking of age, Susan Collins is over eight years younger than her “independent” Maine colleague.

My brother, the news producer sent me a text earlier this week and while he’s not exactly high on what’s going on with McConnell, he did say, “Look, it’s kind of hard to get all hot and bothered over this when we lived through Diane Feinstein and so many other deceptions.”

It’s just none have been quite this bizarre, he even admitted that.

(Some Americans wish we could go back to the good old days of the objective press, when politicians were honest and nobody covered up the fact President Wilson had had a stroke……)
 

Tubberville is an idiot. He’s going to attempt to go DOGE but I’m not sure it will work at the state level.

First, how will he frame this. Trump framed it as the evil Democrats, the dirty liberals created all this waste in government and only he could fix it. That will not fly in AL. The GOP have had a supermajority for 16 years now. Who’s he going to blame?

Second, I don’t think the state legislature is going to be all in on Tubs like the DC GOP have been with Trump. The state GOP are not going to hand over their power to Tubs as easily as the one in DC did for Trump. If he starts to target pet projects of legislators, he will become the enemy real quick.

Tubs also wants to eliminate the state income tax. Which sounds great to everyday citizens until you start trying to figure out how the state will pay for almost anything. You willing for your property tax to shoot up big time? Look at FL, no state income tax but property taxes that are at least 3x higher. Ready for car tags and registration to skyrocket? Ready for higher sales taxes, higher state tax on fuel? The state will get is money and if they do it through taxing other things we will probably pay more than we do with our income tax.

Tubs thinks he can comw down here and be "Trump" at the state level. I think he will hit far more road blocks then he thinks. He doesn't have the benefit of blaming the other party because the GOP have controled this state for a very long time.
The way Alabama pays for car tag renewal is dumb anyway. Paying the tax every year is just ridiculous. In Georgia we pay upfront when we buy the car, then $20 every year for a new sticker.

Of course, billionaires are funneling the majority of money to the GOP, because, under the GOP's watch, they can get away with doing anything they want while screwing over the rest of us. Trump and the GOP have dismantled many consumer protections over the last few years; that's what these 1 percenters love.
Plutocracy - government by the wealthy
 
In England you renew your driver's license online every 10 years!
They kept extending that during the epidemic. I went three cycles with a photo which didn't look like me, only to renew late last year, with a photo which doesn't look like me again. I was about to ask it that's where the clerk wanted me and she said she already had it. My wife thinks I should pay the $30+ and get a new license. Now, you can take your own photo for online passport renewal...
