Claudia Tenney (R-NY) is a worthless piece of shit:
“It’s interesting that so many of these people that commit the mass murders end up being Democrats, but the media doesn’t talk about that either.”
The Parkland shooter was photographed taped doing target practice in a MAGA cap, by the way.
Lets send Claudia Tenney packing in November. Donate here to the eventual Democratic nominee in her district (NY-22):

That part of the state should be called “Seething Resentment.”
Note: I taught at SUNY Cortland for a couple years…
Corner Stone
I endorse this message.
Williamc
If only we acted less smug and self-satisfied towards these people, they’d act like human beings.
BruceFromOhio
It’s interesting that Republicans are two-bit ratfuck soulless criminals, but the media doesn’t talk about that either.
Jim, Foolish Literalist
@BGinCHI: that swing to trump from Romney +1… Seething Resentment indeed. OTOH, Tenney trailed him by 10. Kinda the reverse of the national pattern.
Baud
Don’t worry I’m confident David Brooks is on it.
BGinCHI
@Jim, Foolish Literalist: I’d love to see Brindisi win it. Thanks for the numbers!
BruceFromOhio
It’s interesting that Claudia Tenney (R-NY) has sex with goats, but the media doesn’t talk about that either.
BruceFromOhio
I’m in. Senator Brown (D-OH) is my main focus this cycle, but this one just made the list.
Jeffro
It’s quite the thing (meme? trope?) on the right that “all the violence is on the left”. Makes them feel better for all the obvious reasons. Also, projection.
efgoldman
Jeez, Doug. Stepped on Dave’s thread while I was typing the first comment. A first? A first for me to be in first.
Jeffro
@Baud: He better show Rep. Tenney some respect first, dammit, before he starts in.

At the top of this page is an ad for free open carry maps.
Jeffro
You know, back to John’s note that the Parkland shooter is on tape practicing in a MAGA hat…for the millionth time, just imagine if he had done it in a Obama or Clinton ball cap? Or even a blue one?
Well, in a way, it is proof that he was mentally ill…
Corner Stone
?
Ydobon
@Jeffro: By reason of stupidity is no excuse while by reason of insanity might be!
It is unknowable whether Tenney is stupider than her supporters, eh?
Corner Stone
Alright, WP does not like map jokes.

Out of respect for the Parkland students murdered, Trump will donate a MAGA cap to each victim’s family.
Amir Khalid
Very apt song choice!
Mnemosyne
@Jeffro:
I was shopping for Star Wars party supplies for an upcoming shindig and couldn’t help noticing that the good guys all have a blue background and the bad guys all have a red background. Not very subtle, either. ??

An Associated Press photographer captured the crib notes Trump was holding during a listening session with students and parents affected by school shootings

The only way we will be free of these horrible people in government is to vote them out of office. They won’t change. We have to crush them at the ballot box.
Donated.
Thanks, Doug!
Cheers,
Scott.

From Sherwood Boehlert and John McHugh to this flaming garbage.

@Mike in NC:
Like most of the best satire, the joke is this close to the truth.
BruceFromOhio
@opiejeanne: I got bathing suits from Revolve. Much nicer.
satby
@Jeffro: I’m seeing that from my conservative acquaintances, that most mass shootings and generic murders are done by liberals. Can’t even imagine how they came up with that.
DougJ
@Another Scott:
Thanks!
BruceFromOhio
@satby: sounds like Faux News drone command language.
Mary G
Some of these here Republicans may need to move to higher ground, because there’s a wave coming:
Ted Cruz may need to send his wife back to work at Goldman-Sachs and polish up his resume.
And yes, I know this is wildly optimistic and Texas has broken many a Democratic’s heart, but something’s happening here.
Baud
@Mary G: Hillary actually managed to lower the gap from prior years. Probably still unlikely, but so was Doug Jones.
Matt
I mean, if there’s one thing leftists are known for it’s their massive collections of firearms, right?
Jake the antisoshul soshulist
@Jeffro:
It is something that they widely believe, while also believing that liberals are cowardly pacifists.
Well, except for Antifa, which are Hillary’s shock troops for her planned coup.
Jeffro
@satby: that’s the classic Karl Rove-style counter narrative, right? Always accuse the other side of that which you yourself are guilty.
@BruceFromOhio: yup. Talking points via the puke funnel.
What I want to know is, why are they always squirrelly white males? I think we need to put all squirrelly white males in jail until we can figure out what’s going on here!!
Mnemosyne
@satby:
The “thought” process is:
Most murders are committed by Blacks and Hispanics.
Most Blacks and Hispanics are liberals.
Therefore, most murders are committed by liberals.
I’m pretty sure most people can immediately spot the problem with the premise here.
BruceFromOhio
@Jeffro: Relocation camps? Or just deported.
Jeffro
@Mary G:
I think people are finding their strength…finding it in numbers we’ve been told to believe aren’t really out there.
And the GOP is banging on too many institutions, norms, things that actually help the majority of our citizens. Their leaders let Trumpov (and each other) get away with it, but the more they serve the 1% at everyone else’s expense, the more obvious it is. And the madder the center-left and center-center get, the more they organize, and turn out.
Roger Moore
@satby:
They pulled it out of their asses, the same way they come up with all this stuff. They know the people they’re lying to aren’t going to fact check it.
WaterGirl
@BruceFromOhio: I like that. I don’t tweet, but I hope you do.
Jeffro
@BruceFromOhio: No deportations! They just need to find safer hobbies, maybe talk to someone once in a while.
WaterGirl
@efgoldman: He’ll toss the MAGA hats out at the funerals – like toilet paper in Puerto Rico.
Speaking of Puerto Rico, really depressing today to read that the suicide rate is way up in Puerto Rico. That’s okay, though, because they are brown and shouldn’t even be considered citizens, really. – Trump (not me)
Maybe we should check with the President of the Virgin Islands and see what that guy has to suggest to help Puerto Rico!
GregB
I think the list I saw goes all the way back to Democrat Wilkes Boothe. No shit.
It is one of those shitty forward email type of lists that creepily conflates Democrats from the 1800’s to Democrats of today and also conflates various anarchists and left wing extremists to liberals.
Chet Murthy
@Williamc: You’re missing the “//”, my dude.
opiejeanne
@satby: I think that started with the guy who shot Gabby Giffords. It was initially reported wrongly and gleefully that he was a Democrat.
Ohio Dad
@GregB:
What? It doesn’t go back to Democrat Aaron Burr?
