There is nothing like a stupid FAR LEFT liberal, and I mean a truly stupid FAR LEFT liberal, having a "karma is a bitch" moment. If you scroll down in the link you shared, you'll find this idiot female at a stop light. She proceeds to get worked up about a MAGA demonstration that is taking place at that location. She starts shooting the bird at the demonstrators (always class, open-mindedness and understanding, those libtards). She then cranks up some more and hangs out her window, yelling and offering dual birds.

The light apparently changes and her car starts rolling forward, but the traffic stalls for a moment while she otherwise accelerates into the back of the now stopped vehicle in front of her - she's looking at the demonstrators, not the road, and she is fully hanging out the window at this moment, still flipping dual birds at the crowd). BOOM! Crash! Pow! Batman.

Then, only making it better, it turns out that there was a police car directly behind her. Poor little POS. Enjoy your ticket and increased insurance rates.

I also try to avoid this thread, but I’m glad I stopped in to read THAT. I’m still chuckling. Not taking sides, but over the top IDIOTS on either side deserve events like that just to humor the rest of us. I only feel bad for the hassle the person in front of her will deal with.....

Whatever happened to reasonable people living closer to the middle?

Ummm you mean the leader's cue to put 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry in internment camps? I guess they went to work building the camps and rounding people up.

Think about this...

It doesn't matter who the person is that's nominated for the supreme court. It only matters who gets to nominate them. No one is asking any of the senators on either side who it is that they'd like to see nominated. I'd support any Democrat who would say they'd vote for Trump's nominee if they happen to like the person who's nominated. I'd support any Republican who would say they'd vote against the nominee if they didn't like them. It doesn't matter who is nominated. The Republicans will vote to confirm it and the Democrats won't. The same thing will happen if Biden wins the election and no one is seated. It doesn't matter who the nominee is! THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!! I mean, isn't that the only thing that should matter??

Trump should nominate Merrick Garland just to watch heads explode.

Did 205,000 of them die?

Recognizing the impact the virus has had on normal life, the GOP Texas governor extended the in-person early voting by one week.
Not a mail in ballot issue, not an absentee ballot issue...just regular in-person voting. Give folks some more time to get to the polls and place their ballots, maybe remove some voting day crush with virus concerns.

So...he was promptly sued (of course)....by the Texas GOP.
