Unfortunately will get reelected
MD is solid Blue but he's Eastern Shore. Solid red. Home of Perdue Chicken and not much else

I know him personally. He is an anesthesiologist! He is WAY too far right for my liking, but I have donated to his campaigns over the years. Frankly, I’d have thought he’d be the last guy to melt down like that. Oh well. He’s about to turn 70. Maybe time for someone younger.

Like most republicans in office
He's evolved from common sense right wing policy to anti American policy
These days republicans are more afraid of Trump then the American people
With all the problems we have, congress should be in session working hard for America
NOPE
Johnson sent the House home to protect Comrade Trump instead of trying to pass legislation to help the American people struggling with high inflation and high gas prices

Its no longer big news because it happens on such a regular basis
Now these incidents are only big news if victim count reaches double figures

Pretty sure nothing more will be done unless a school shooter is able to kill about a 100 5-year-olds at one time.

Which is quite possible.

For example, if the Iran "war" gets to the point where we target and kill civilians in Iran then arguably we are all viable targets in response.

It would not be too difficult for enemy operatives to set up a couple of machine guns in the back of vans, position them near schools and unleash a fusillade of death on innocent children as they are discharged from class and milling around waiting for and boarding their school buses.

We've lots of soft targets.

On the flip side
Iran knows they have the ability to influence US politics
They made sure Carter lost to Reagan
Just as they are making sure Trump loses to Dems
Iran ain't gonna do Jack. They want a blue Tsunami. They are gonna get a blue Tsunami
A blue Tsunami against Trump is their most potent weapon.

In othr news, the MA GOP candate for Leutientnat Governer was arrested last night on drunken driving charges after allegedly driving drunk after hitting five parked vehicles, two of which were extensively damaged, and leaving his own car overturned.

He faces charges of operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, a marked lanes violation and speeding.

This is hilarious
Dem party air ads about the Hope Florida scandal
10 million in a state medicaid settlement went to political ads
DeSantis wants those ads off the air threatening stations and anybody that talks about it jail time
WTF
Yes actually leaking a grand jury document is against the law
BUT
Once it's out, you can't jail people for posting about it , talking about it , using it in campaign ads
Its a Pentagon papers case
Once the cat is out of the bag, you can't jail people for posting about it ROTFL

I am not sure that you can get any sleazier than the scandal. Except, maybe, using police to intimidate people talking about it?

Insane story.

FYI to the righties, this is facism. Using funds for improper use and self gain, and then using the police to arrest people for talking about it... Like, I'm not sure that it can get more blatant...
