I work for the State of Wisconsin... just found out that my insurance no longer covers mental health

services. Fucking awesome. My wife has a family history of depression and I do too. We have two teenage children.

Fuck you Scott Walker. You may actually succeed in killing state workers and their families this way.

And on the other side... Cruz absolutely KILLING der Trumpenfuhrer in Milwaukee burbs

Wow... those people really do EXACTLY what Charlie Sykes tells them to do, don't they?

Also, looks like Walker- er- I mean Bradley- is beating the Democrats-er I mean Kloppenberg yet again.

So fellow Badgers... Scott Walker's poll numbers are recovering rapidly.

WHAT in the holy hell is happening? He's back up to 41%...still crappy but on a trajectory to be about 55% by his next election. My question is a simple one:

What in the hell has he done to cause this? Surely it can't be his unnanounced invite-only "listening sessions." Or is it just that rank and file Wisconsinites dig his UW-bashing schtick?

If somehow Hillary does NOT get the nomination, I wonder if she will do a full Lieberman...

or even a half-Lieberman. I suppose it would depend on who the Repukes nominate.

I got banned from the Hillary group in ONE post...beat that!

I had the audacity to suggest that Bernie had not, in fact, proposed "tearing up" the ACA.

Hillary's fans are just like freepers. Even a whiff of criticism of their beloved Pantsuit and they go apoplectic.

How are the Republicans in the Wisconsin State Legislature going to address campus gun violence?

More effing GUNS obviously. Meet "campus carry"

Two Republican state legislators have introduced a bill that would allow concealed carry gun owners to bring weapons into public university and college buildings in Wisconsin.

Why is the answer ALWAYS more guns?

Ladies and gentlemen, Aaron. Rodgers.

That is all.

You all do know why the Republicans are looking so ridiculous in their huge debates don't you?

It's the sheer number of candidates on the stage. See, they are uncomfortable mass debating in front of the cameras.

Sorry, couldn't stop myself.

I propose we play a game of Scott Walker debate bingo.

In addition to the free space in the center we could have the following phrases... when Scott says one of these phrases you check off that square on your card:

unintimidated
hard working taxpayers
big and bold
big government
special interests
union bosses
right to work
Harley
Tonette
protesters
death threats
on day one
laser focus
repeal obamacare
ISIS
Hillary
Ronald Reagan
tested
it's working
jobs
didn't back down
gut like a deer
uniter
bald spot

On edit: how could I have forgotten "wreak havoc?" That might be his #1 response!

Feel free to add your own.

Damn, but I still really, really like Metallica.

They never ever get old for me.
