      "must have been vandalism!"

      please. who walks into their cubicle and doesn't notice a brand new item pinned to the wall that wasn't there before, and hold on, there is something different about this one that I can't put my finger on....
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        The Hillbilly adds more context to what these "kids" did. C'mon people, boys will be boys.


        Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

          Put aside for a moment whether we should have CIA operatives in Venezuela. How would you feel if you were down there, following orders, doing your best not to be detected and killed, and the President just... announces.. that not-covert-any-more operations are currently underway?

              He's such an opportunist. Where is the right-wing criticism of this rhetoric?

                    I don't understand the context. Who is Abigail?

                    Also, good that it appears that most, if not all of the participants are paying a professional price.

                      JD Vance is downplaying it though. The right wing influencers with big audiences are doing the same

                        How can anyone still be surprised that a horrible text thread will have no repercussions? There's a whole wing of the party that happily says this stuff out loud. Short of murder, there is almost nothing that one can do or say that will disqualify them from continuing on in the maga movement. The exception is falling out of line with Trump.

                            It is now. Either the vast majority of national repub leaders (and even local repub leaders) are either afraid of Trump/MAGA or have aligned with this thinking and Trump attacks on our democratic institutions.

                              Winsome and Abigail are in a heated battle for governor of Virginia. They had a debate the other day that went viral. Abigail refuses to ask Jay Jones to step down after it was discovered that he sent some vile texts promoting political violence. Winsome is holding her feet to the fire. They tried to fight back with this issue but Winsome immediately condemned the racist text thread.



                              Some of the texts in question:

                              The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) is calling on Jay Jones to immediately withdraw from the Virginia Attorney General’s race following today’s story about his abhorrent text messages.
