Eric Hovde promises to donate his salary if elected Senator. Why advertise that you are Daddy Warbucks?
Chuck Schumer is telling Israelis to change leaders? How would Democrats like it if Bibi Netanyahu told American Jews to vote Trump? (Bonus question: How about we protect our own goddamn border?)
Do you really want Elon Musk or Jeff Zucker to underwrite the management of Wisconsin’s elections? That’s what two referenda on the April 2 ballot would prevent. The other prevents governors from unilaterally raising taxes. anyone but municipal government officials from running elections. Who could vote no? (The Capital Times, is who. Actually writes that holding two statewide voter referenda is “undemocratic!”)
Has Joe Biden managed to alienate Palestinian AND Jewish voters? Is he John Kerry: he supported the Israelis before he opposed them?
Was Robin Vos too kind to the people who tried to recall him (and cheated in doing so) when he called them “morons”?
What percentage of the Republican vote will Trump take in Wisconsin’s “ghost” presidential primary on April 2? We think 40% will vote for the other five names remaining on the ballot. What’s your guess?
Which alder has the stones to zero out the do-nothing Police Civilian Oversight Board to help erase the City’s $27 million budget hole?
Should we send in the Marines to take over Haiti as an American protectorate? How about San Francisco and Chicago, while we’re at it?
Speaking of which, Republicans will meet April 13 to elect delegates rom the Second Congressional District to the national convention. Why else foresees burning tires and street barricades in Milwaukee this summer?
Is pardoning the January 6 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers a winning issue for Trump — or for Biden?
Anyone really think the Madison school board will hold the teachers union to a zero-point-zero pay raise as threatened?
Innocent victims? Who do the Palestinians of Gaza blame for their predicament? They elected Hamas, did not rise against them, fostered not one Navalny. By progressive logic, Tony Evers should return Wisconsin to the Ho Chunk tribe.

Voting for candidates that have withdrawn from the race is pure defeatist as in “a person who expects or is excessively ready to accept failure.” It’s illogical. If voters don’t like the presidential candidates that are on the April primary ballot then don’t vote for them, it’s just that simple.
David asked, “If Trump loses (again), who here thinks there won’t be bloodshed?”
I honestly don’t know what will happen and neither do you.
Here is what I’ve been saying for many months now and I stand behind the statement…
What I absolutely refuse to do is to try and predict what specifically those very bad reactions will be. There are people on both sides of the political aisle that are absolutely consumed with their hate of the opposing side and want to win the election regardless of the cost, pay very close attention to their words and, more importantly, their actual actions in the days after the November election.
I like Nikki Haley. I’m voting for her. We saw what happened after the 2016 and 2020 elections: the losing sides rioted. Expect the same this year. But maybe we all get hit by a meteor.
Dave, I love how you have the Babylon Bee articles on your sidebar, but I wonder why you haven’t shown this one:

You do realize “Zuckerbucks” came from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, not Elon Musk?
Yes, just giving examples from both sides of the political aisle.
Is it possible there are some good people on both sides?

Of course there are good people on both sides! Anyone with any kind of critical thinking skills at all knows that the problem is the perceived “good people” are being rhetorically drowned out by the extremists and the extremists are the ones that are likely going to react very badly.
Was just asking for a friend!

According to the sample ballot in Oregon, WI the second question is as follows…
From my search, it appears that Madison’s ballots have the same second question.
I’m honestly not understanding how voting for that prevents governors from unilaterally raising taxes?
These are statewide referenda to amend WI Constitution. Evers vetoed into law something like a 400-year increase in taxes.
I was clearly confused by the second of these two sentences, “That’s what one of the two referenda on the April 2 ballot would prevent. The other prevents governors from unilaterally raising taxes.” they appeared to me to be talking about the two referenda questions.
David Blaska wrote, “Evers vetoed into law something like a 400-year increase in taxes.”
Yup, I saw that. I’m really tired of the veto powers that the Governor of Wisconsin has, in my opinion, it’s abused with a Frankenstein pen far too often.
“it’s abused with a Frankenstein pen far too often.” (bolds mine)

Rump already tipped his hand on Gaza. Jared is licking his chops over all that beachfront property. His solution is for Israel to get rid of all those people, clean everything up and let him and other investors build a playground for the rich and famous. Plus; the family grifts it’s way into billions. Having your father-in-law as Pres. paid off big in the past; why not in the future.
Oh, puh-leeeze, dude? But how come you left out the good stuff about the Jews; since AFAIK, Jared isn’t an Israeli?

Go to Business Insider and read Jared’s interview at Harvard. He thinks Gaza is very valuable real estate and is “a little bit of an unfortunate situation.” At least your comment woke up crotch from his lazy-boy coma.

Netanyahu would be completely justified in telling Schumer what to go do with himself. There is no way the U.S. would tolerate an enemy of bloodthirsty barbarians like Hamas on their doorstep, yet most leftists expect Israel to for indefensible reasons.
