And in the last 5 Presidential election cycles the Kentucky governor election predicted the presidential outcome, so this means it is like totally mathematically impossible for Trump to win.

58% yes. :) Also Andy Beshear (D) re-elected governor of Kentucky by a considerable margin.

I'm sure the lesson the GOP will take away from all of this is: "The voters can't be trusted to make the correct decisions, therefore we need to stamp out referendums!"

Hi folks, I bet this is one ad that Trump never expected: Central Park Five member takes out full page ad on Trump 34 years after he called for their execution (yahoo.com) And, now that Salaam is going to be on the NYC City Council, one has to wonder on how he might vote on anything Trump has before the council. Exonerated 'Central Park Five' member Yusef Salaam will win seat on NYC Council : NPR How sweet it is. Jerry Baumchen

Are you taking Alex Jones supplements? Three letter agency conspiracies exist but not everything is a conspiracy.

I don't see anything necessarily sinister about getting the net worth requirement for a loan lowered. Seems like something you prudently ask for, and see if you get it. No need to risk getting a loan called if the economic state plummets.

Title for the hyberbolic right wingers to appreciate. But seriously, I think a lot of this stems from the abortion issue. Women are voting, and they are voting to keep abortion legal. More interestingly they are voting to stop political tricks that would allow republicans to ban abortion, which means they are engaged and are noticing. In Ohio, voters shut down a measure that would have increased the threshold for changes to the state constitution - and require signatures from all 88 Ohio counties instead of 44. That was a fairly transparent attempt to ensure that the recent vote on abortion rights would fail, and voters rejected it. In red states across the country, women are showing up to vote for their rights. Kansas, Kentucky and Montana all passed reproductive rights guarantees, and this is leading more states to do the same, with Ohio being the latest. And since such bills are fairly acrimonious in terms of ads and social media, women are starting to associate republicans with people who want to strip them of their rights. In Virginia, democrats gained full control of the state legislature; most democrats there campaigned on opposing the "sensible limit" of 15 weeks for an abortion. In Kentucky a very anti-abortion republican challenger failed to beat the democratic incumbent. And of course in Ohio abortion rights were placed in the Constitution. In 2024 abortion will be on a lot of state ballots. This means that more women will be coming out and voting, and so far they have voted largely for reproductive rights and for the people who support them. This is very bad news for republicans, since of course senate and house election as well as the presidential election will occur at that time as well. So what do republicans do? I have a feeling they will take a multi-pronged approach: 1) They will continue to try to disenfranchise voters, especially women voters, by making it harder to vote and making it harder to pass laws (as the Ohio attempt demonstrated.) 2) They will become ever more wishy-washy on abortion, saying they are opposed often enough to mollify their base, but sounding like they are not opposed to permissive abortion laws in an attempt to court women and moderates. 3) Some will just plain flip and start supporting abortion. The GOP is already fracturing into conservatives and Trump supporters, and this may simply speed that process. It will be interesting to watch.

But...but...but she can't go to jail! She's taking care of her kids!

New York Attorney General Letitia James blindsides Ivanka Trump during today’s testimony by releasing bombshell courtroom evidence that proves that Ivanka was FULLY AWARE that her father Donald Trump committed financial fraud. Attorney General James showed the judge devastating emails in which Ivanka Trump proposed lowering the required net worth for her father Donald Trump to personally back the Deutsche Bank loan that he eventually ended up receiving. According to Attorney General James, the final agreement for the Deutsche Bank loan required that Donald Trump, as the guarantor, maintain a minimum net worth of $2.5 billion — down from the initial $3 billion that the bank initially required. The email revealed by James in court today shows that Ivanka personally proposed a change to lower the net worth requirement for her father to $2 billion — a tacit admission that she KNEW that her father was over-inflating his net worth, which at the time, Donald Trump declared was $4.2 billion on the statement of financial condition that he filed when he applied for the billion dollar loan. According to Attorney General James, this fraud allowed Trump to obtain better loan rates. An expert witness for the attorney general testified earlier in the trial that Trump’s “ill-gotten gains” from the fraud totaled a whopping $168 million. Not only is this devastating for Ivanka and Donald Trump in this massive $250 civil fraud trial — it also exposes them to criminal liability, which Attorney General James has hinted she may later charge them criminally. Oh. Nice. Criminally incriminating. The movies about the traitor criminal Trump family, like everything they touch, will be shit.

Hi John, And, both in a truly Trump state. There is hope on the horizon. Jerry Baumchen

Excellent, now let's hope that McConnell chokes on a Chick-fil-A bone and Beshear can beat the nonsense reappointment law.

Republicans ensuring soldiers don't get paid should net some votes for Democrats.
