I agree with the beginning of the sentence, but disagree with the bolded part. If defying Trump is the best way to keep a Republican congressional seat, he wouldn't be the only one doing it.

GOP strategist concluded Census citizenship question would disadvantage Democrats

So the Trump administration has been lying about this all along. Surprise!

Will the truth even matter though, with Kavanaugh and Thomas on the Court? Doubtful. Sadly, the disgusting, hateful, piggish Whells of the world are winning...

After Donald Trump was elected president, Taylor wrote on Facebook: "It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I'm tired of seeing a Ape in heels."

Deplorable.

With the Supremes and Congress not providing checks on the authoritarian executive, we are living in a dictatorship.

A ‘Bridge’ to China, and Her Family’s Business, in the Trump Cabinet
Elaine Chao has boosted the profile of her family’s shipping company, which benefits from industrial policies in China that are roiling the Trump administration.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/02/u...hao-china.html

In China, the Chaos are no ordinary family. They run an American shipping company with deep ties to the economic and political elite in China, where most of the company’s business is centered. The trip was abruptly canceled by Ms. Chao after the ethics question was referred to officials in the State and Transportation Departments and, separately, after The New York Times and others made inquiries about her itinerary and companions.

The move to notify Washington was unusual and a sign of how concerned members of the State Department were, said the official, who was not authorized to speak on behalf of the agency.

David H. Rank, another State Department official, learned of the matter after he stepped down as deputy chief of mission in Beijing earlier in 2017. “This was alarmingly inappropriate,” he said of the requests.

The corruption in Turtle Mitch’s family runs deep and wide. Another great article by the NYT.

Just A Florida Republican Musing About Killing Gay People

https://splinternews.com/just-a-flor...eop-1835158491

In audio released by the Pensacola State Journal on Friday, Florida Republican State Rep. Mike Hill can be heard casually discussing the possibility of introducing legislation to kill gay people.

The recording, taken during a May 24 forum held by the Pensacola-based Women for Responsible Legislation, features a man whom the Journal identified as Hill responding to a constituent who noted that “In 1 Corinthians, it says that a man who has an affair with another man will be put to death.”

“It says that in the Old Testament too,” Hill answered, before another person chimed in, asking if he could “introduce legislation.”

Hill, a self-described “Pro Life! Pro Guns! Pro Jesus!!” representative, could be heard chuckling along with several members of the audience before replying “I wonder how that would go over?”

Hill reportedly prefaced his comments by telling audience members that homosexuality is “a behavior, and it’s a choice,” and that “You can say, ‘But I was born that way.’ [...] but nobody’s forcing you to engage in that relationship, even if you were born that way.”
