A place for civil discussion of the events of the day for Tidewater residents without the limitations imposed by media forums.
Why do so many “conservatives” hate America? Just listen to this cringeworthy loser doing his hate schtick and you will begin to see why.
Hey, Sean, quit your crybaby whining. The man controlling the Republican Party is still newsworthy and the media has always preferred covering a train wreck to reporting good news.
Here is the reason for so much of the nonsense that we spend time “discussing” on this forum.
They seem to have a complete deck. We have seen these cards over and over again for many decades as the “Southern Strategy” evolved from Nixon through to “Welfare Queens” through to “Willy Horton” and on into Trump’s Birtherism as a core concern of the GOP base.

Disgraced National Security Adviser Michael Flynn declares that Trump won the popular vote and the Electoral College vote and calls for military overthrow of the government.
Attorney Sidney Powell says we just need to schedule a new inauguration date and put Trump back in office. Simple.
This is beyond funny until you remember that these two seditious lunatics are senior advisors to the former President.

Senate hopeful who has never held public office really and truly understands what the modern Republican Party is all about. Personally, I sincerely hope he becomes the GOP nominee for this Missouri Senate seat.
One of our resident Green is an Impossible Dream fossil fuel apologists around here assured us all that there could not be an affordable electric truck – only fancy electric cars for fancy city people.
Boston did not have enough money to provide preschool for all students so it chose who would get it into preschool with a random lottery.
