Like it's not even America anymore.

It is becoming more like the MAGA version conservatives want.

His mum bought him an arsenal of weapons despite him having mental health issues? She has to be held responsible for anything he does with them too then.

Absolutely. Reckless parents can't keep getting away with things either.

NBC News - Nevada Democrats implode over battle for party control

A fierce power struggle has broken out over who will run the Democratic Party in Nevada, a pivotal 2024 battleground that last year determined the balance of the Senate.

And it’s getting ugly.

There are calls for the sitting chair’s resignation. There are accusations that Democratic Party Chair Judith Whitmer steered contracts to allies. Two sparring sides accuse each other of attempting to fracture the party.

And new documents obtained by NBC News display the depths of the divisions and how they played out in the run-up to one of the closest Senate races in the nation.

Whitmer, part of a slate of democratic socialists who took over the party in March 2021, now fights to hang on ahead of her March 4 re-election, where she faces a challenge from Nevada Assemblywoman Daniele Munroe-Moreno.

“They’re launching a smear campaign against me, personally,” Whitmer said in an interview with NBC News.

Politico - Sanders supporters took over the Nevada Democratic Party. It’s not going well.
The senator lets it be known that he's unhappy with work his followers have done in the critical battleground state.

Just had to un**** our gerrymandered state to do it, sure.

Whatever it takes.

Speaking as a fellow Michigander *points at where I live on my hand to prove it* let's hope it sticks!

I do not foresee Krazy Karamo providing the needed leadership to do so. Hell, it looks like the fascist Ottawa Impact seems to be fracturing.

What happened next Mr. Barnes has largely kept secret for nearly 43 years. Mr. Connally, he said, took him to one Middle Eastern capital after another that summer, meeting with a host of regional leaders to deliver a blunt message to be passed to Iran: Don’t release the hostages before the election. Mr. Reagan will win and give you a better deal.
