His constituents are still saying, "Thank God for Marsha Blackburn."

At least Tommy Tumblevile has an excuse for his stupidity.

Next time he falls down the stairs I hope he breaks his ------- neck.

Man with brain worm and brain damage done by years of heroin addiction meets with man with advanced CTE. That conversation would have sounded like my mom's memory care ward at pudding time.

We're getting to see what happens when the bottom of the barrel gets elected.

This stupid pile of s*&^ sounds like an idiot.

A parent would be well advised to listen to the doctor instead of a medically unqualified self-serving politician.

Unless, of course, you'd prefer your children to die a horrible death induced by polio and respiratory paralysis.

Probably gets the title of dumbest, least willing to learn, person in Congress now that Louie Gohmert has retired.

Man, oh man. My junior senator, Plumber-butt Mullin, looks more like a stateman every day, compared to Coach Jughead...

We can ridicule this cretin all we want, yet here he is, a Senator. So the question is - what message do Democrats have to have to beat this moron an election? Cause he'll win again unless something changes. Or is the message 'wait for Dotard to screw things up'?

Well. He is already doing that. And we should hold him fully accountable every time he does.

And isn't it Christmas time? Shouldn't the message right now just be "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah", etc?

Or maybe it should be, "Hang on to your hats folks it's time once again for Mr Toad's Wild Ride!"

How much chance does a Republican have in winning the Senate in California, Euripides?

"yet here he is, a Senator."

It's Alabama Jake.

They actually liked the fact that he held the military hostage over abortion rights for women

It was a suicide mission that threatened our national security and the ripple effect will be felt for years.

It's good when the GOOPers hurt people.

That's how you own the libs in Alabama.

Re 14 - Not much chance at all. But Democrats seem to be writing off states, and just winning CA and NY isn't going to be enough if things keep going the way they are. My dad was a Democrat State Representative in MO beginning in the late 70's and used to joke that the GOP got offices in the basement. Now, Dems are in the basement and can't get elected, and it seems this state is a write off to the Democratic Party. Very frustrating.

Re 13/15. Sorry, just tired of Democrats losing. Laughing at the idiocy of the GOP is fun, but won't keep those same idiots from getting elected. You're right - its Christmas, so I'll just say to myself 'Lighten up, Francis'. Merry Christmas!

What do you expect from somebody whose name is essentially "potato town"?

The average potato has more brains than this clown.
