I know, right!

Give me a dang break, this was obviously a tasteless joke about how much the guy [who here had even had ever heard of Jay Jones before this?] obviously disliked the other guy and felt the feeling was mutual. Seen this one before with Hitler, bin-Laden, and Toby -- The Office -- where they even demonstrate how to kill them all with one bullet:

Am I supposed to seriously get my knickers all in a twist about a dumb joke that a guy sent in 2022 in a private text to the wrong person? Too bad it missed its "mark" because I would wager Mark would have understood its meaning.

Disqualifying? I would say that is for the voters of Virginia to decide. If I was a Virginia voter, I definitely would not vote for a Republican based on a private text containing a stupid joke that was inadvertently sent to the wrong person, but that's just me, and I've heard that stupid joke many times, albeit with different names... except almost always Hitler.

It really bothers me when you talk about hurting people or wishing death on them
It isn't ok
No matter who they are

Republicans are obviously stupid because it is never not "ok" to wish death on Hitler.

The bottom line is that the country as a whole are Radical Marxist Socialist Commies and therefore the Overton Window should be farther to the left of where it is.

Dems will win if they return to their Progressive roots and will lose if they keep running as “Republican-lite” who do not address this most fundamental issue plaguing America. Rolling back Reaganism will solve most of our problems and restore the American Dream!

Enough with the Establishment so-called Democrats. They don’t even whisper the notion of Rolling back the Reaganism that’s killing our New Deal.
But they sure to blame Progressives when they lose.

**Full disclosure: I used Google Gemini AI to obtain these polling numbers. It was easy! It was fun!

I also don't know who he's running against but "knuckle-dragging ghoul" is more likely than not. I would not encourage Dems to play by the old rules while MAGAts say and do whatever they please.

What if he wins and then resigns? Does the gov get to pick his replacement? I'd favor that outcome.
