Fiveyearlurker:
Here is the president of the United States taking credit for a century taking 100 years (bolding mine):
“I’m curious why wasn’t it done a long time ago ? And also, I guess the answer to that is because now I’m president, we get things done.”
President Trump signs the Woman’s Suffrage Centennial Coin Act.
By the end of the week he’ll be saying he gave women the right to vote.
Or that he created women by taking a rib from Adam’s side. :dubious: And that he’s been sorry ever since.

Texas Republican Party’s 2020 election strategy document lands in Democrats’ hands
In a bizarre political blunder, a document laying out the Republican Party of Texas’s election strategy for the 2020 elections has ended up in the hands of Texas Democrats. Attacking Democratic candidates through websites and mitigating “the polarizing nature” of President Donald Trump are part of the plan…
“Given the polarizing nature of the President, I suspect some Republicans will refuse to turnout during the General Election because they don’t want to vote for him – though I don’t know that we will know what this universe would look like without us or a stakeholder creating a model,” the document reads. “Regardless, I suggest we set up a contingency budget to target these folks with mailers, digital ads, and texts to encourage them to turnout for U.S. Senate, State Senate, State House, and so on.”
It is unclear who the “I” in the document refers to…
“I”, whoever “I” is, had better hope that his identity remains “unclear” to the vengeful Toddler-in-Chief…

Wait, the Republican Party has stakeholders now ? When did they go public ?: I want me a decision-making piece of *that *action !
Oh. Oh, I see. They only said the quiet part loud, didn’t they ?
Tucker Carlson says he was just joking when he said he was rooting for Russia to defeat Ukraine.
Fox News' Tucker Carlson is a serious political commentator, except when he is trolling the Democrats and the left with outrageous comments and sarcastic jokes, which are obvious because he prefaces them by saying "I'm serious." Or, that was at least...

Amusing, but personally, I’d prefer that when someone has an opportunity to steal a march on the GOP, they make an effort to keep it under wraps.

How does one keep somebody else’s accidental leak under wraps?
By not crowing about it in the media, for starters. If we could have gotten to primary season before the Pubbies noticed what they had done, Texas Democrats might have been able to neutralize GOP stragety for a good long time. By blurting out that they had the playbook, they handed the Republicans the opportunity to write a new one with little time lost.
And, yes, I DO know how to spell “strategy.” I just happen to like the Bugs Bunny-ism.
One of the characteristics of a cult is inculating their children. Just sayin’.
This isn’t a stupid idea, just a nefarious, evil one:
Kentucky GOP moves to strip Democratic governor of his authority, accelerating trend of power grabs
GOP leaders in the Kentucky legislature are pushing a bill that would effectively remove Democratic Gov.-elect Andy Beshear’s control over the state’s Department of Transportation, the latest move in an accelerating trend of Republicans stripping power from Democratic governors before they can take office.
The legislation would limit the governor to nominating a transportation secretary from a list chosen by a new a board whose nine members would be selected by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and local government associations, with those members subject to a veto by the Republican-run legislature. Lawmakers would also have veto power over Beshear’s nominee, making this the only cabinet position in the state requiring Senate confirmation.
This bill would therefore hand over control of a key government post to moneyed corporate interests, and with Republicans firmly in charge of the legislature, it can become law even if Beshear were to veto it. Only intervention by the courts could stop it.

I see what your saying, but I don’t think it applies in this case. It isn’t like these are the secret plans for the attack on Midway where Democrats can use this knowledge to plan a trap for the Republican Navy.
The best counter to Republicans dirty tricks is to expose them to the harsh light of day and reveal to the public at large what giant slime balls they are. The other big take away is that behind closed doors, even the Republican party realizes that Trump is a net negative. This is a PR boon for the Dems but only if they publicize it.

Better yet, publicizing it means that the Toddler-in-Chief will probably hear about it, leading to all sorts of circular-firing-squad antics on the GOP side.
Former Major League Baseball player Aubrey Huff tweets that he’s teaching his kids how to shoot so they can take out Socialists if Bernie gets elected.
More Evil. This one boggles the mind:
A new report shows the Trump administration was prepared to separate 26,000 children from their parents, despite knowing it couldn’t keep track of them.
Last year, the Trump administration ripped apart thousands of immigrant families despite knowing it did not have a tracking system in place that would ensure they could be reunited, according to a new report from the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Here’s the report:
