It’s brother against brother here in the culture war, but what do voters care about more: shouting and pussy hats or health care?

Montana GOPer Cain’t Wait To Shoot Up Some Dirty Hippies For Trump! (Wonkette)
Donald Trump is coming to Missoula, Montana, tonight! There, he will be greeted by the fewer than 2000 people who will fit in an airplane hangar, while Missoula’s hippies protest far away, from 2:30 to 6 p.m. at Playfair Park. It will be your usual EXTREMIST LEFTIST OUTSIDE AGITATOR RIOT:
The Native community will open the event. We will sing, educate ourselves on the ballot initiatives, candidates, and sign up to canvass and volunteer. We will participate in community art, sharing in food, making signs and t-shirt printing. There will be bouncy houses for kiddos and time for us to meet, talk and connect in person. We will be together.
Then there will be a rally, followed by a march, followed by VOTING. You can see why a former Montana state party chair offered to shoot everyone up, because oh shit, TIN SOLDIERS ANTIFA COMIN’.
In his first Facebook post, [former Montana GOP chair Will] Deschamps wrote: “For all the prospective attendees to the Trump event. Come early. Also all you protesters, show up as well. This is a concealed and open carry state and we know how to use em. USMC trained.”
He elaborated in a second, longer Facebook Post, writing that “… protesters have become more and more brutal. They are in fact, now carrying fire arms, hardened gloves and other violent articles with them that can kill, or harm those they disagree with. Apparently, those of us that want peacful (sic) marches, are not allowed to suggest we defend ourselves.”
You know what they have in Missoula? The Jeanette Rankin Peace Center, where you can buy fair-trade weavings from Guatemalan widows while contemplating the first woman in Congress, and the only member of the body to vote against entry into both World War I and World War II. You know what they don’t have in Missoula? Antifa. Not even a little. But some tuff guys with guns are giant fucking scared pussies we guess!

Does it seem like Trump is sticking to his “base only” playbook, to anyone else? Like has he done a rally anywhere, besides Vegas, that is even close to the middle? Or is it all deep red territory and nothing else for him?

I’m surprised he hasn’t come to Nebraska. He had a rally for Council Bluffs, Iowa (suburb of Omaha, Steve King’s district) a couple days ago (where he pushed his ethanol ideas).

None.

Same for most of these assholes. They’re falling into line with what they identify as the new power source, in the hopes that they can maintain, if not grown, their own power.

I’m really getting sick of all the news articles and TV pundits who demand that DJT reach beyond his base, to try to engage with his opponents, members of the other party, people who didn’t vote for him.
Wait, you mean there hasn’t been any of that “why doesn’t the president reach out to the other party” stuff like there was constantly in the Obama era?

So pretty much all the major Republicans are letting their inner fucking racist dirtbags come out and play now, is that about right? God, I despise these people.

re: #13 Single-handed sailor
Not an error. Chuck Schumer cannot stop the GOP from pushing through its slate of judge nominees. He can only slow it down a bit with parliamentary manoevres.
Mitch McConnell was planning on keeping the Senate going right up to the election to deny Democrats the ability to campaign in their home districts, or face the GOP ramming everything through from their judges to another ACA repeal attempt.

As far as I understand it, this takes unanimous consent, so it’s no more Schumer’s responsibility than it is Warren’s and Bernie’s. Might ask them, too.
re: #16 The Ghost of a Flea
The secret here is to look at how frequently US conservatives have changed the definition of words and concepts that are supposedly critical to their self-definition, the meaning of conservatism, and the idea of the USA.
Shit, just look at what they’re willing to do to God, Jesus, and the Bible.
Siding with foreign authoritarian bastards because they’re “better” than the people they’re tormenting isn’t new. Viewing citizens dissenting from their positions as part of a vast socialist conspiracy isn’t new. Blurring the line between personal profit and civic duty isn’t new.
What’s central to Russian troll tactics is the willing participation of the target population. Nothing they’re creating and throwing out into media is entirely original or far beyond what the native reactionary/conspiracist population is producing. The bigwigs falling into line are the kind of people who are perfectly comfortable with licking the feet of oligarchs.

From what I’ve gathered, the best Democrats can do is grind out each nomination to take about 4 working days. It was calculated that it would take about 11 years at that rate just to fill the current vacancies. Democrats have been slowing it down quite a bit, but they can’t completely stop them.

I think McConnell can confirm them en banc (and Reid has done it before). So it’s considerably less time than that. I’m more optimistic than many about winning the Senate, because we are looking at a wave election, with the uncertainties tending to all break one way.
Plus, if we get a good investigation started about Republican congressional dark money, some of these gooper senators may have to step away next year to spend some quality time with their criminal lawyers.

That is the next segment of the show coming up.
This ought to be interesting.

The only correct answer to this is “No, you guys are completely to blame”. I’m so fucking sick of conservatives behaving like Trump magically appeared out of nowhere, instead of being the result of 30 years of the GOP appealing to their base’s worst impulses.

Well, that seems to have died during the commercial break.
Maybe Steve Schmidt corrected her and told her Republicans never say they did anything wrong and they surely had nothing to do with bringing about the environment that allowed Trump.
Pfft.
