#5 Much of Chuck’s power was derived from his ability to bribe McConnell to provide the required GOP votes to thwart a conservative agenda. That vehicle brake down like an 87 Nissan Sentra on the Cross Bronx Expressway. Musk will have it on blocks minus all four hubs and the catalytic converter over the course of the next several election cycles.

#6 Gotta wonder if somebody from DoJ is investigating old Chuck. Some of the threats he's made against POTUS (seven ways to Sunday) and SCOTUS (reap the whirlwind) just might be actionable. Then again, you never know what other dirt they might have on this scumbag.

#8 AOC already got primaried. AIPAC (the Israel lobby) funded a challenger and she lost badly.
Thanks AIPAC! Thus always to antisemites!

#9 Eh? AOC won in 2024. According to Wikipedia:

2024

In May, the DSA debated whether to endorse Ocasio-Cortez. Some members argued that she was more committed to the Democratic Party and that her positions on Palestine had become weaker.[128] On June 23, the DSA National Political Committee (NPC) voted to endorse her so long as she fulfilled its list of demands, most concerning Palestine. The New York City chapter, which endorsed her, rejected the deal. On July 10, the NPC withdrew its endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez. It mainly cited a panel she held with Jewish leaders that supposedly conflated antisemitism with anti-Zionism. Other concerns included her support for a resolution that characterized denial of Israel's right to exist as antisemitism and her support of the Iron Dome defense system.[129][130][131]

Investment banker Marty Dolan, a moderate Democrat, ran against Ocasio-Cortez in the primary. Ocasio-Cortez won overwhelmingly.[132]

Ocasio-Cortez again easily won the general election against Forte.[133] Notably, some voters in her district split their tickets, voting for Ocasio-Cortez and for Trump in the presidential election.[134] Harris won 65% of the district's vote and Trump 33%, an increase from 2020. A political analyst said this was because both Trump and Ocasio-Cortez "were leading with the message of working-class pocketbook issues".[135] Ocasio-Cortez asked those who split their tickets why they did so; some said that they both cared about the working class and were "less establishment", while others cited the Israel-Hamas war and the economy.[136]
