Measures which will do nothing to stop the pandemic but are designed to solidify their stranglehold on the levers of power in this country.

We are in a very dangerous period and Newt Gingrich didn’t just suddenly “see the light.”

Seriously???? NEWT???? I guess I am WAY TOO OLD to even give his concern any consideration - - damn you, damn you, damn you. Ya maybe should have thought about this, like, a couple decades ago???? And NOW you are concerned? Stay put. Stay there. So sorry about YOUR luck. I DO NOT believe for one moment that you are concerned about any of our friends in Italy.

He was the only Republican of note to criticize the response to Hurricane Katrina, so this is in character. Not a fan of the man, but this is consistency on his part.

I turned 18 in 1994 and didn’t give two shits about politics until the GOP took over the House and started pushing the “Contract with America,” that would have eliminated the ability for me to go to college.

Coming to right wing nut sites soon!

They are all saying Italy has a shitty government run healthcare system ignoring it is one of the top 6 in the world and Northern Italy even better.

It's not important enough for republicans to do their job.
