Lots of folks have an opinion on the rape allegation against Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner. Even former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
"The one thing I know about Republicans: When we had a very bad candidate and found out, we didn’t vote for that person. We walked away," McCarthy said on Fox News.

I think he is a more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term.

Like a lot of Americans, I was none too happy about paying taxes this week to a government that's spending mind-boggling amounts of money on a war it had no business starting.
Worse yet, I keep thinking all this waste, destruction, and loss of life could've been avoided if we'd just let Donald Trump dress like Louis XIV, and given Pete Hegseth a crusader's outfit and a rocking horse.

The constant stream of verbal malarkey that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth included this gem yesterday: "I did very well with the gay vote."
Trump won about 12 percent of the LGBTQ vote in 2024, with Kamala Harris capturing about 86 percent.
If he thinks that's doing well, I've got a strait by the name of Hormuz to sell him.

Today in Florida, a Democrat defeated a Trump-backed Republican in the race for the open District 87 state House seat. District 87 happens to include . . . Mar-a-Lago.
Feel free to bask in the moment.
I'm not so optimistic as to say the flipping of this seat is a harbinger of things to come, but I sure am digging the symbolism.
By the way, for all his carping on the subject, Trump voted by mail. And probably always will, until they put a polling place on a golf course.

I spotted this headline from a magazine: "Trump Is in Way Over His Head in Iran."
Please. Trump is in way over his head in Chuck E. Cheese.

I receive a daily email about historical tidbits, and today's concerned the Roman Emperor Nero. In the year 67 CE, Nero participated in the Olympic Games, and was declared the winner of every event he entered, both athletic and artistic.
On this Presidents Day, does he remind you of anyone?

You've probably heard by now about the exposed Young Republican group chat that revealed them all to be the love children of Adolph Hitler and Witchiepoo.
If you haven't heard, know that Politico obtained over seven months of Telegram messages among Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont. And while we're all aware that Donald Trump has degraded political discourse, the comments from these wannabe future leaders of the GOP lower the bar to below ground.
They called Black people monkeys and "the watermelon people." They disparaged Jews, and referred to rape as "epic." They tossed around epithets like "faggot," "retarded," and n-word variations.
One charmer, alluding to an upcoming vote on whether he should become chair of the Young Republican National Federation, declared, "Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber."
Ah, the innocence of youth.
Amidst the fallout from the bombshell Politico report, JD Vance pooh-poohed the outrage. The racist and anti-Semitic and homophobic comments, the joshing about gas chambers and slavery and rape—it was all just "stupid" jokes made by "kids."
Actually, of the 11 chat participants, eight ranged in age from 24 to 35. Barely out of diapers.
These GOP activists were not just hateful, crude, and entitled, but also stupid to have created such a record. If this is the cream of the Republican crop, I don't even want to think about the dregs.
