Wanna see a good woman kick some right wing republican ass. OH's 12th district
This is my friend Alaina Shearer ... she is one of the good ones.
GOP's Troy Bladerson is a right wing shill. He would only debate Alaina on Friday @ noon on 10/30.
He is coward ... and it looks like he has punched in the face too.
The libertarian is just an idiot.
Repost: Parkland Shooting Survivors and "The March For Our Lives" people have been very busy.
When David Hogg and other survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida
went to congress looking to get some help and sensible gun laws they were all but laughed at and now they are coming
for their jobs in massive #s.
'It's Going to Require Every Young Person.' March for Our Lives Activists Urge Young Americans to Vote
A month after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, David Hogg stood in front of a crowd of hundreds of thousands gathered at the U.S. Capitol to demand an end to gun violence. “Who here is going to vote in the 2018 election?” asked Hogg, then a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas and co-founder of student-led group March for Our Lives (MFOL). “If you listen real close, you can hear the people in power shaking.”

Now Hogg believes young voters will be the ones to decide this race’s outcome. In Florida, a critical state for President Donald Trump’s re-election, young voters are already turning out in big numbers. Recent data from polling firm TargetSmart shows more than 419,000 voters between the ages of 18 to 29 have cast their ballots in Florida so far — a 34% surge over the same group in 2018. “These elections really do matter,” Hogg says. “They’re not about voting for Democrats or Republicans. For young people, frankly, it’s about our survival.”
Hogg and other survivors of the Parkland shooting, in which 17 people died, have long been outspoken critics of Trump. On Oct. 22, Hogg tweeted video of Biden comforting the son of a Parkland school shooting victim, writing, “Trump never even came to Parkland. He spent 35 minutes taking photos at a nearby hospital, which he used in a fundraising email, then left for a disco party at Mar-a-Lago and golfed during the victims’ funerals.”

On Oct. 24, Hogg and other youth activists joined a coalition of advocacy groups to host ‘VOTE WITH US,’ a virtual rally that encouraged young people across the country to vote. The event kicked off an 11-day on-the-ground effort to mobilize youth voters before Nov. 3. It showed never-before-seen clips of the film ‘Us Kids’, a documentary by Kim Snyder that follows the development of the MFOL movement.

Barrett could be at work on the Supreme Court as early as Tuesday.
If Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court today as expected, she will almost immediately confront a host of issues concerning the election and the policies of President Trump, who placed her on the court. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.
As soon as she is sworn in, meaning she could be at work on Tuesday. Under the court’s usual practices, she cannot participate in cases that have already been argued. Should the court deadlock in some of those cases, though, the court can set them down for re-argument before the full court.

Enjoy your victory GOP/Judicial Crisis Network. It will be a pyrrhic one.
Fox News: Mitch McConnell's bruised hands, lips likely common skin condition, dermatologists say
Dermatologists say the 78-year-old Senate majority leader’s black-and-blue bruises and bandaged hands are likely a common condition called senile purpura.
“Your skin just naturally becomes more fragile as you age,” Dr. Doris Day, a Manhattan-based dermatologist, told The Post.
“I think it’s just a bruise — a solid good bruise,” she said.

Fenton also agreed that the condition appears to be senile purpura — and he wondered further whether McConnell’s bruises resulted from a recent attempt to draw blood.

I might be wrong but McConnell's left hand sure looks like pulmonary edema.
