"Justice Samuel Alito, who handles emergency appeals from Pennsylvania, rejected the request from the GOP leaders and voters that the court put on hold an order from the state Supreme Court that could now produce new congressional districts in the coming two weeks." AP

That's got to sting. (grin) The rest of the country needs to follow California's lead and draw districts via a non-partisan commission. Both parties have gone too far with gerrymandering.

IMO all states should follow one set of rules and regulations in federal elections, they can go ahead and be fascists in their own state elections.

The Mueller Investigation = Birtherism???

Rep. Tom Garrett (R-VA) on Monday compared special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election to the right-wing conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. “Imagine that there was a partly political funded investigation into President Obama’s place of birth. This Russia investigation is essentially birtherism.”

An evangelical minister who advised President Donald Trump's campaign sparked an uproar Tuesday by suggesting that Christian faith makes people immune from the flu.

Texas minister Gloria Copeland, who sat on the Trump campaign’s evangelical executive advisory board, denied the country is in the midst of a severe flu outbreak in a Facebook video that went viral because, "Jesus himself is our flu shot. He redeemed us from the curse of the flu.”

No True Christian would ever get the flu!

(This claim contains a famous fallacy....)

Shows tremendous faith. There is nothing strange about her assertion...it is the center of the belief system that faith in Christ will overcome all adversity.

You speak as if extremely tremendous faith was a good thing.
