Actual Republicans like @Skroe used to be should be the target, and that tactic you suggested won't work on them.
    Honestly it's the only suggestion I got because, like you, I can't really otherwise parse what Mitch's end-game is here.

    Kanye West met with Kushner as rapper eyes 2020 election spot https://t.co/NlzSe8MkMG https://t.co/Q7MFw1Qldv

    Well this post could be in three different threads.

    The reason here is some are stating this is a clear violation of campaign laws. Kushner is a direct advisor to Trump.

    Hey we can say this happens all the time. Okay, but most campaigns are not dumb enough having a close advisor meet with a third party candidate.
    Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

    I'm sure 'law & order' trump supporters will call for the prosecution of Kushner and Kanye any minute now.

    What campaign law is that against?

    You different campaigns cannot collude with each other. Having a head advisor directly meeting with another candidate to assist their bid is a blatant violation then when you have evidence of most of the people gathering names to get on ballots in various states are GOP operatives AND a lot of the signatures are so bogus they are getting laughed out of various states its something that if the law was a thing any more would probably cause them problems. But the FEC basically does not exist as I don't think it has a quorum so can't really act on anything any more.

    Yeah, but can you point to the actual law?

    Does it matter? The FEC doesn't exist right now. And Trump is actively ignoring orders from SCOTUS.

    George Conway sure thinks it's illegal.

    Actually, I'm wondering now if there is a law against ongoing campaigns working together....

    I know there are rules/laws about campaigns working with PACs.

    I'm not really buying his schtick one way or another, cause i honestly don't know if it's illegal or not, just stating it's out there.

    Do go on. What fantasies?

    Surprised that it's not an Obama era regulation. That's usually the reason for regulation rollbacks for Trump.

    So the question is, what did Bush do to anger Trump?

    Fuck Florida.

    Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods is forbidding his deputies from wearing masks at work amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    Woods issued the order on Tuesday and extended the ban on face coverings to visitors of the sheriff's office. Officers are exempted from the sheriff's order in certain locations, including hospitals and situations involving high-risk individuals or those who are potentially infected with the virus.

    "We can debate and argue all day of why and why not. The fact is, the amount of professionals that give the reason why we should, I can find the exact same amount of professionals that say why we shouldn't," Woods wrote in an email obtained by the Ocala Star-Banner.

    The same day he made the announcement to his staff, the state set a record high for COVID-19 deaths. On Tuesday, August 11, the Florida Department of Health recorded 276 additional deaths in the state, bringing death toll to 8,553.

    So Ron Johnson's Senate Intel Committee's look into the origins of the Russian investigation? It's kinda a mess, because Johnson wants to haul in Comey and Brenan, amongst others.

    It's not Democrats stopping it, they literally can't as they're the minority. His own party is stopping it.
    When doing just enough to give a fishing expedition the veneers of legitimacy scares the people that started it, that is just amazing.

    Trump is vowing to kill Social Security and Medicare if he gets reelected by promising to terminate the payroll tax.

    You have to wonder if he doesn't know the payroll tax funds Social Security and Medicare or if he just doesn't care. With Trump, either option plausible. If it's the former, you have to wonder why his staff hasn't educated him about it.

    I would assume there are just to keep one party from just bribing the other to throw the election
