http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/chris-mcdaniel-plan-challenge-runoff-results-thad-cochran
Supporters of Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) are hinting at a specific plan to cast doubt about the results of the primary runoff election in which he lost to incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), even if the state has no provision for triggering a recount of the election.
Noel Fritsch, McDaniel’s press secretary, told the conservative Daily Caller in a report published on Monday that McDaniel’s campaign and his supporters had already found 1,500 invalid votes in Hinds County (which went for Cochran, who McDaniel challenged, in both the initial primary and the runoff). McDaniel supporters claimed that they can force a new runoff if they prove that a significant amount of the votes that separated Cochran and McDaniel were invalid.
“We don’t have to prove that we have 7,000 [invalid] votes … all there needs to be is enough doubt about the election, and we’re confident about that,” Fritsch said.

I say, Please Continue. The longer this circus, the better a Dem has a chance to squeeze by.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Smoochie Wooches Chips!
Rafa was just beaten by an Australian teenager.
Noooooooooooooo! :cry:
Last year’s Wimbly was interesting and this one is showing similarly. Serena out and Sharapova, both ousted by good players, but not presently in the top ten. Ladies side seems wide open now. Love Rafa and gonna miss him, but I’m a FedHead. Still hoping he can pull one out.
I’ve never seen so little of Wimbledon Dakota, thanks to the World Cup!
Happy now Amk?
Gooooooal for ARG by Messi……. I din’t see it. But I can hear it. It is playing in the background.
President Obama is breaking it down beautifully. American can’t wait. SO SUE ME!!
PBO “How about some economic patriotism”??
lol. swiss goalie moves into arg defence. and swiss miss again.
swissmiss - move over martina. you just lost the nym.

PBO: Fixing bridges and roads should not be controversial.
It wouldn’t be controversial, if it wasn’t for the racists tea party Republicans.
args win. and not a convincing one at all.
This game was painful, but Messi earned his rep. Let’s hope the USA-Belgium game is an upset for USA.
President Obama is truly kicking Republican butt!
#OWNthe114th

Indeed. He’s not holding back!
ARG Goes to the Quarter WC Finals. Yes!
PBO ends ….

Just One Goal, that’s all It took! Congrats ARG!
Now Team USA……I am pulling for you. I am wearing my heart and putting it all out there for You Hard working Strikers and Goalies. Go Get them. Go, Team USA, Go, Go!
Corrupt Congress Secretly Kills Rule Requiring Them To Disclose Free Trips From Lobbyists
The House Ethics Committee is different from other committees because it contains an equal number of Republicans and Democrats. This is a change that at least one Democrat on the committee had to agree to, but no one on either side is talking. There is no good reason of the Ethics Committee to reduce transparency, but that is exactly what they have done. Even worse, they were secretive about the change. The Ethics Committee met in private, and issued no public statement.

So typical. The House Ethics Committee that monitors behavior now needs its own behavior monitored. There are no words.
Brilliant tweeting Nerdy, still cracking up at this one:
He said “So sue me”? Love it.
OUR AMAZING PRESIDENT OUT THERE IN THE HEAT AND HARD AT WORK AS USUAL…CONGRESS OF COURSE…DOING NOTHING BUT THREATENING THE PRESIDENT…CONGRESS NEEDS TO BE SERVED AND NOT ON THE ROCKS…SUE THEM! CONSIDER YOURSELF SUE’D YOU DYSFUNCTIONAL GATHERING OF SILK TIES WRAPPED AROUND YOUR DILLUSIONAL SELF-INFLATED EGOS!
He’s amazing! And what you wrote - ha - was poetic!
and rafa loses to a rookie. / smh
:( :( :( SCOTUS on HL yesterday. Rafael losing today.
I can’t have 3 in a roll. The reason Team USA must be victorious today.
Be prepared. That’s all I’m sayin’.
Bad things happen in threes (and sometimes fours).
1)Serena Williams suffered a dizzy spell from what was thought to be a viral infection and had to drop out of the tennis doubles today.
2) Rafa loses
3) USA is eliminated in World Cup
4) Chuck Todd sez that all three above are bad news for Obama and good news for the GOP going into the midterms.
Hopefruit, you forgot a 5th possibility.
5) Chuck Todd’s lack of sanity has deepened after his statement quoted on #4.
And there you have it NCLB! :)
HF2, Amk and NCLB I was looking for a TOD support Team, not To Praise Nena, but to support her weak heart ;)
Go, Team USA.
Nerdy, whenever you do these magnificent summaries, I’m reminded of that wonderful Cole Porter song, “You’re the Top. You’re tower of Piza; you’re the top, you’re the Mona Lisa”. Just the best each and every time.
Thanks, Jackie. :)
So true, Jackie!!!!
Well done, as always, NW!!
Good speech. Good crowd. No TV coverage. Atleast no CSPAN and no MSNBC.
Truth that one.
Bob, that’s what you do when you’ve poisoned the coffee and want to take your victim off his guard. Next shot is man on the floor and woman eating his (unpoisoned) toast.
:D :D :D :D
Great tweets, ut, the master tweeter.
He is nailing the thugs down, isn’t he?
He is doing that. No fucks left to give, apparently.
no fucks left to give indeed.
Thanks, Amk.
He left no prisoners behind, that’s for sure.
He is tired of their crap and he is making sure the country knows who is stalling progress.
And you’re doing an excellent job of spreading his messages.
you da gal.

In 2014, these wicked crude sexist and bigoted verbiages came out from this Fox guest. Shameful.
Now The Sharia Law attacks now being tagged to the Liberals by Fox.
Great link! TY, JER.
I honestly believe that what the president is doing right now with his aggressive takedown of the GOP is modeling behavior he wants us to follow. Whenever he has done things in the past-stopping in to make calls at a phone bank, canvassing a random neighborhood to knock on doors, held meetings with small groups in restaurants or sometimes homes, and delivered specific messages, he was showing us what to do. He is a natural teacher as well as a community organizer and he’s saying to us-this is what I need from you now-fierce determination; relentless calling out of those who are doing damage (no beating around the bush with niceties) and constant voter outreach. It’s no accident that we feel inspired when he does this because he’s calling to something in us. Don’t sit back; stand up and speak them out; talk to people; enable them to become active too. This morning I wrote a call to arms to the more than 2000 people on our local newsletter mailing list-a list that includes all the members of the local Democratic Committee. I told them why anger is needed right now and I urged them to direct that anger to electing Democrats. We are all being educated by the political genius known as President Barack Obama. It’s a priceless education we need to make the most of our lessons.
“I honestly believe that what the president is doing right now with his aggressive takedown of the GOP is modeling behavior he wants us to follow.”
Could not agree with you more, Jackie!!
#OWNthe114th
Yes WE MUST
I also believe that PBO is starting early calling out the repugs, attempting to give the Democrats ideas for campaigning. If they would follow his lead and stop distancing themselves from him, they will win.
Exacty, COS. He’s teaching both the candidates and organizers what to do. And the media and R’s don’t have the slightest idea how powerful that is.
Yes WE MUST
Jackie - you nailed it!
You couldn’t have said it better, jackieg.
We follow PBO’s lead and stay focused and vote, we will win in November.
Another Sad omen. I am done with Wimbledon. No one to cheer.
The tennis match ratings drop substantially when the Williams’ Sisters are out.
Oh my….
Thanks, Chips. I’m definitely in the mood to flip the script! See you on the flip side after the game.
Wow!!!!!!!!!
The DNC needs to find out who is doing these ads for the USA team and hire them post haste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely Donna, they’re spectacular!
Send this to Martin O’Malley, Donna!
Okay! Great Idea
Significant change in strategy by President Poroshenko - not only has he suspended the unilateral cease-fire, for the first time since Russia’s invasion began (months ago), today Ukrainian State Border Service has restored control over of the Dolzhansky checkpoint and restored its work. This is significant because that checkpoint is a mere 500 meters from the Ukrainian, Russian border.
As folk at The Interpreter just noted (http://pressimus.com/Interpreter_Mag/press/3233) President Poroshenko is truly calling #TzarVlad’s bluff. If Vlad doesn’t advance on that checkpoint, the message to the mercs and other assorted terrorists operating in the Donbass will be clear, he’s not prepared to escalate to what would be unassailable war.
A Facebook post to Hobby Lobby:
“You never actually lost your religious freedom. You’ve deprived your employees of a benefit that you don’t have to administer yourselves, and that they can get from any one of your competitors. Your beliefs were never threatened, just your ability to impose those beliefs on your employees to their detriment. Here’s wishing you reap the whirlwind of your misguided views.”
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/poll-rick-snyder-terri-lynn-land-gary-peters-mark-schauer
A new Public Policy Polling survey found fairly good news for Democrats in Michigan: Mark Schauer, the gubernatorial candidate, is tied with Gov. Rick Snyder (R) while Rep. Gary Peters (D) leads former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land (R) in the race for U.S. Senate.
But there’s another notable finding in the poll results: both Republican candidates’ unfavorables are higher than their favorables and also higher than their Democratic opponents’ unfavorables.
The poll found Snyder (pictured) tied with Schauer with each getting 40 percent while the remaining 20 percent said they were not sure. In the Senate race, Peters got 41 percent while Land got 36 percent. The remaining 24 percent said they were not sure.
Chat away!

Damn, Pierce is good:
So there really isn’t any excuse any more.
I occasionally get chaffed by folks for giving out civics lessons but, seriously, we get the government we deserve. The Founders, and those brave people who came later, a group that certainly includes the three Mississippi martyrs and thousands more whose names we don’t know, made sacrifices that leave us no alibis. If you live in a state that has restricted the franchise, and that has erected hoops through which you have to jump, then learn how to jump through the hoops and break down those barriers by flooding the polls. If you don’t live in a state where it has been made more difficult to vote, then get off your sorry ass.
