Serious rip off place. I used to buy GM vehicles - I will never buy one from them. I also will never set foot on their lot again.

5. NASCAR drivers usually aren't very far, politically, from their fan base

Same with country music artists: most are conservative and support Republicans (they're a big part of the performance line up at RNC events). There are some who are center-left politically but they are rare and usually low key about it, especially after seeing the hell the Dixie Chicks were put through.

run for Senator from Tennessee. He had a GREAT chance against the RWNJ Blackburn in 2018, as it was an open seat in a Blue Wave election, and yet he ditched.

Open seat AGAIN now in TN, in a crucial, MASSIVE election, and yet he still refuses to run. I have been raging about this for so long. He would have been the favourite to win, now we probably will lose the damn seat. He is REALLY on my shit list. Same with Sibelius in KS, open seat, she would be the odds-on favourite to win, yet she too refuses. Hopefully Bollier can somehow pull it out, but she is a far less certain winner than Sibelius would have been. Abrams (ESPECIALLY if she is not picked for VP, which I am starting to think that her chances of that are becoming poorer) and Yates in GA (TWO races there) are on it too, as is Begich from Alaska (we are not even going to have a Dem run now against the MAGAt Sullivan, ffs.)

IF we lose the Senate again, especially by one or two seats, and lose all of the ones listed above ALL (unless Abrams is VP) of those people above are dead to me. If they all had run, the odds of us not winning one or two of their FIVE races are VERY low, especially McGraw and Sibelius.

8. More surprising/disappointing - Reba McENTIRE

Not surprising and beyond the possibility of disappointment: GORSUCH, ALITO, Laura INGRAHAM, and the Chik Fil-A jerk. Surprising that the My Pillow guy wasn't there.

But apparently INGRAHAM is now at the summit of her influential depravity, which I thought had passed when she was one of The Elves ginning up (with George CONWAY) the impeachment of CLINTON. Now she's popping up everywhere - here, and also as pusher for the lupus drug to SHITLER. Jimmy KIMMEL was laser-like last night, saying that SHITLER never thought he would win and didn't want the job, preferring the gig of maitre'd/host at Mar-a-Shithole, and has been doing all the daily stunts of CRAP to get himself OUT of the job, which haven't worked, and that he has concluded that the only way to get himself out is to ASSASSINATE HIMSELF.

So, if he succeeds in that with the lupus drug, since she turned him on to it, will INGRAHAM be liable for accessory to assassination or negligent homicide as with suppliers of drugs to somebody's O.D.?!1

since she had a comedy show (that I never saw) I vaguely thought she was smarter.
