They jettisoned all belief in scientific principles once COVID exposed the vast disparity between science and their political beliefs. That's why they rejected Fauci, Birx, and all the other experts who worked tirelessly to try to keep Americans alive, and ultimately rejected the vaccine as well.

Yes. That wasn't the only factor, but they did seem to lose their earlier momentum in the last few weeks of the campaign.

The safe move probably won't hurt Spanberger since she has such a big cushion. But in a close race like last year's presidential election, it proved to be a fatal error. The GOP was on its heels until the Harris campaign suddenly turtled during the last month.

I'm not a clinician my specialty was in pathology, but if I had to guess it's probably some kind of monoclonal antibody therapy to slow the rate of cognitive decline. He's rather old for new onset of autoimmune disease, which typically presents earlier in life, though it is possible.

Spanberger is winning primarily because she has a shaky opponent, not because she's doing anything particularly inspiring or memorable in her campaign. Mamdani, on the other hand, is really emerging as a leader and a star.

Happy for you, Dana! I grew up a Pirates fan. I can't even imagine what winning a series in the postseason feels like, it's been so long ago lol.

Maybe they're still hanging around because it's been a warm fall so far?

Fell for a trap = they didn't fold like they were supposed to and now we're flummoxed.

Let's hope they continue to generate these unserious, puerile, and corny memes while the rest of the country suffers actual hardship and loses patience. Even their base will get tired of this eventually.

The military is their base's most revered institution, the biggest god in their pantheon. If it becomes apparent that they've lost the support and respect of the military, and yesterday's events suggest this, it's
game over.

The Pope doesn't exist to salve their conscience and make them feel good about themselves.

Now that their ploy has failed, they don't want to own it. They always do this.

Hegseth’s warrior peacocking is simply disgusting. You want to see a warrior? This man landed at Anzio to kill fascism and anyone who defended it. Then he came home, married my grandma (who died this week at 101), and never touched a gun again.

As a great poet once said, be a simple kind of man.

He's caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place, Bill. And if he alienates the military the narcissistic injury will be devastating for him.

As Hawkeye once said of Henry Blake on M*A*S*H, this guy is so pusillanimous he can be held up through the mail.
