I wonder if this should be an option in Democracy 4 as a publicity stunt? There already is a jogging out in public one.

Waffle House does amazing work during disaster, however the last thing they need is a politician to go and get in the way for a photo shoot.

I like DeSantis, but don't be fooled by an obvious publicity stunt. His job is to make sure all the depts of state are being coordinated, not to take the position of some wagie at Waffle House.

At this point I think they are doing it strategically on purpose.

If everyone surroundings Biden is an idiot, he himself doesn't look as incompetent. It is just the administration of gaffes. Everyone does it it is normal.

Herschel Walker paid for girlfriend's abortion, report says

DUNWOODY, Ga. (AP) — Herschel Walker , who has vehemently opposed abortion rights as the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Georgia, paid for an abortion for his girlfriend in 2009, according to a new report. The candidate called the accusation a “flat-out lie” and said he would sue.

Ah yes the good old anonymous, and as yet unverified decades old accusation just before elections
Given the outlet that originally reported it I'm not surprised that even Raphael Warnock dismissed the notion.

The parties sure are see-sawing in polls.
Curious what new methods will be used in the upcoming month or will they just be beating the same dead horse to distract from the economy

I was a bit shocked to see on FiveThirtyEight that Ryan is ahead in a few polls in Ohio. Really, that shouldn't be happening under any circumstances as Trump easily won Ohio in 2016 and 2020.

Although according to this article, Ryan does not call himself a Democrat (?) and has quite a few policy positions which would not be far from many views of Republicans.

Honestly, he seems to have a history of mental illness, so I am not surprised he was willing to commit murder.

Not the type of person I would vote for tbh. But I suppose the GOP has to appease people who will never vote for them that they are "not racist".

Not really. He can sue if he feels it's all lies - I'm guessing he won't. As for the son, well, that's just more dirt on this guy's values.

He can sue if he wish, doesn't detract from the fact that it's a typical hit piece in a outlet that has little credibility.
The main point, as with all these kind of pieces, is that whether it's true or not won't matter post election.

And you're the arbiter on the truth of the matter?

That's the GOP for you - whining about identity politics while blatantly engaging in identity politics.

If it's an actual illness then it shouldn't be held against him, assuming he sought help for it, seems to be common with these pro athletes who have terrible marriages and cheat with sycophants.
Not exactly a role model, but people can change in over a decade.

Point was rather the timing of these type of articles, they always find their mark amongst those easily distracted voters.

Edit : By the way there were many others in his primary group, which included other African-Americans. ironically the one white candidate's surname was also Black :laugh:. None of them got nearly the same number of support, so it isn't exactly the GOP and more so the voters themselves.

Anonymous sources familiar with the matter told me so... :rolleyes:

Anyway, you selectively pick and choose what you believe either way so don't let me stop you

I'm not being selective - you're the one stating it's a hit piece, not me. All I'm stating is that if it is a hit piece he could sue.
