Elon Musk gave $1M to a "random" Wisconsin voter--who turns out to be the state's College Republican chair. Court docs show America PAC admits winners aren't random--they're handpicked for loyalty. This isn't a giveaway. It's a political ad in disguise.

Maybe his arse will get cancer.

But America should be so lucky to get some of that sweet sweet divine intervention.

In other news, both republicans won in FL, and NC appeals agrees to nix no-id voter regs.
How come TDS echo chamber never talks about when ?

Both Republicans in FL won by half as many votes as Trump carried in Nov.

But hey, keep on slapping yourself and saying everything is going to be OK in the mid-terms.

I really do think there is a significant chance we will be in a shooting war by the midterms...it was what got George W. Bush reelected even though a very unpopular President. Hope that is just my stress level talking, or writing.

#7: Senator Linseed Graham (S-SC) has been itching for war with Iran for years. There is shooting going on now as Trumpf is bombing the Houthis, instigating Iran. Link: www.politico.com

I see a war as almost inevitable. Trump might use it to be re-elected, but I wonder if too many of us aren't on t that sort of manipulation now?

I think that Trump will start a war for the same reason Vlad the Impaler at lunch while watching people being well, impaled.

Trump is insane. He's gone. We are already seeing what Rome saw when it gave Nero power.

I live in Wisconsin's Sixth District, and I am hoping Representative Glenn Grothman (W6-R) gets a heave-ho repudiation next time around.

John47 I feel your pain, Tom Emmer is this district's rep. Tried twice to type m- rep but couldn't.
