I think people really underestimate how conservative ND is

I'm not a MO resident nor do I personally know many, but how aggressive of a campaign is Hawley running there? Cause it's definitely winnable.

@thr33 what's even worse is that some of these types criticizing Kav's reactions are the same folks who talk about how gender norms should be broken and that there's nothing wrong with a man displaying emotion or being sensitive

i see flake knowing his place and eventually caving into a yes vote. he just wants the attention beforehand

flake is the Senate's version of an Instagram model. not appealing behind the filters, no substance, 100% attention whore.

This is why I do what I do for the candidates I support. This is why I volunteer with a group of strong conservative women to support our goals in local and statewide elections. This is why I can no longer stomach the Democrats of today. This level of hypocrisy should not be tolerated, and certainly should not be rewarded with election wins.

yes

oh nice! I didn't know!

I know a couple folks on here referred to me as "she" so I figured there was no sense in hiding it at this point :p

it would be nice to see the Heitkamp ship sink and the inevitable meltdown from Dems

I hope the no vote from McCaskill proves to be a much bigger nail for her coffin than expected

lol

same @PiT

I wouldn't say 2017 was the point of no return. But I do think that it's not only important for Republican candidates to hold onto their influence in rural areas of the state, but also appeal to those in blue areas outside of NoVA that can easily be flipped, such as around Richmond and Hampton Roads. Culturally, it's definitely not easy to do, but there definitely needs to be some appeal to these folks in heavily populated areas, and more work needs to be put in to get their votes. It shouldn't be ignored and shrugged off as unwinnable like it is in places like Fairfax County.

I do hope to see Jill Vogel run again in a statewide race.

@Nate, if you don't mind my asking, which school?

11836

1836*

Johnson right?

heidi heitkamp

Hawaii Nebraska

i cant read and missed deep blue

lmao

didn't hoover have an alligator?

Which was the only US President to have an Eagle as a pet?

no

no

no

not for me

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"rather vote for Hitler than vote for Franklin for a third term"

there wasn't a second person

do I get to ask a question now ? 😛

Which president had pets with the names Admiral Dewey, Bishop Doane, Dr. Johnson, Father O'Grady, and Fighting Bob Evans? Bonus ❤ points: what kind of pet were they?

Since I already mentioned where I work I guess no reason to be afraid to post this

This is Handsome Jack

@[Lex]

if you want to

I'm sure no one would object lol

if I'm using general descriptors, 50% Puerto Rican, 25% Siberian Yupik, 25% German

however obvs Puerto Ricans are hella mixed

and the German side has other white stuff in there

in all fairness this was how I looked in my peak crazy liberal days

besides the normal house and senate stuff, we have two ballot measures.

one regarding real property tax exemption for surviving spouses of veterans who had a permanent and total disability related to their time in service. yes would mean they can still claim the exemption if they move to a different primary residence.

the second one is whether or not the state legislature can authorize local governments to provide a partial property tax exemption for real estate that faces recurrent flooding that went through improvements to prevent flooding or long term damage from it.

yeah, though I'm leaning no on both of them

I'm not for amending the constitution to allow for no restrictions on a surviving spouse to continue to claim property tax exemption when they no longer live in the home they shared with their deceased spouse.

The second one I keep going back and forth on, since I can see both sides of the issue. And while I'm leaning no, it's a very slight lean that I'm still undecided on.

it's mostly a lean no because folks know what they're getting into when owning property in flood prone areas

crunch time for those of us actively volunteering for any campaigns

hopefully they're done pussyfooting around and will just get it done

I thought you were avoiding midterm threads on atlas until after @Julien Blanc? :P

@Yellowhammer, how long before Zaybay out-hacks Solid?

this argument has gone on so long that I briefly forgot what triggered it

that being said, is it really productive to continue? It seems as though neither person is going to change their mind

it's gotten to the point where it feels like it's gone off topic and should be taken elsewhere if y'all wish to continue.

it just seemed a bit pointless for it to continue as long as it had imo

what's the point in continuing the argument for as long as it went? it wasn't productive, and no one on either end was going to change their mind.

it really wasn't mid way in the argument when I said something

I highly recommend learning to pick and choose your battles, kid.

can you imagine the meltdowns if Ginsburg has to be replaced during Trump's presidency?

all the protests

especially if it's because she passed away

http://jennifertaxton.com

wait why did I get pinged in this

lol

Marriage is unnecessary anyway

postpone the wedding

I can in like half an hour if people are still on

finishing up some work, be on soon

Solid has quite a few screws loose

if y'all want a headache of uninformed women voters on VA-10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk7U9MWXXKg&t=1s

one of them in the video I posted complained about local roads and that's why she was voting against Comstock
another was voting for Wexton but didn't even remember her name

@Julien Blanc from the Atlas thread I sent earlier, more gems:

"Whatever they choose to tell themselves and others, those are all excuses. The reason they support Kavanaugh is because their souls are diseased."

"They know the allegations are true, but they like harming people. So they shame the victims."

"For the same reason they defend Donald Trump -he is a means to an end, namely, conservative control of the Supreme Court.  All else pales by comparison.  It doesn't really matter if they are both sexual predators and boors you would never invite to your daughter's birthday party, or allow anywhere near your loved ones.  What matters is what they can achieve for you.  It is power over principle, the ends-justify-the-means. "

I told my mom I was going into DC tomorrow for an event.

Mom: Is it something related to Kavanaugh?
Me: Yeah
Mom: Okay, well, don't get arrested.

I don't think she's figured out my stance on Kavanaugh

lol

I know she is one of those "I believe her" folks

but I avoid discussing it with her

speaking of the event I really should attempt sleep, since the bus for it leaves at 9am

lol

yeah this is the event

wish me luck in hanging out in an angry city with a lot of unhinged protesters

on the bus headed to DC!

they gave us the rundown of dealing with protesters and the press and led us off with a prayer now that the bus is moving

Went to the office of Senator Collins, met with protesters, one of the guys on the group was punched

Earlier in Grassley's office

on the way to Flake's office, we were met with protesters that blocked us off screaming "Traitors to women, traitors to history, traitors to humanity"

police had to escort us out of the hallway for safety

protesters are gathering around those offices, my guess is they think yes @thr33

RAND PAUL HUGGED ME OMG
