The mentality of our Congress is juvenile. Good riddance.”

Have to agree with you. It’s truly shocking how stunted the intellegence level is of some of these “public servants”, as demonstrated best in some of these committee hearings on CSpan. If they are representative of anything, it is the dumbing down of Americans across the board. Ouch.

It’s still not there for me.

Maybe my ad-blocker, or browser or flash settings, blocks the updates.

"Actually, on twitter there is a large advantage because conservative can drive the narrative instead of letting the MSM dictate to us. "

Bingo! I follow a number of conservatives on twitter (including several FNC reporters) and after only a short period of time, you can recognize that it provides a tremendous medium where movement conservatives can point each other in the direction of relevant stories that would otherwise go completely noticed by the MSM. That notice then gives to the relevant story the critical mass it needs to drive it to a level that it then can't be ignored by the MSM.

It’s a safe R district, now.
But NY lost 2 seats (IIRC) in the census and the new district will surely be more D.

I am, but even if I go to another browser where I'm not signed into Twitter, I see the tweets. You should too. Something is up with your browser.

I'm not enough of a techno-geek to provide any possible solutions, sorry.

I think there is probably WAY more to the story than this. He got caught cheating— that has not stopped politicians from either party from being reelected. The voters tend to be forgiving if this type of thing happens once. I would bet this is a distraction for something a little bigger.

Stalinists argue the point of “hypocrisy” only if they need to do so to persuade some holdouts to go after their own.

They are quite content to say one thing and do another themselves and their fellow comrades are A-OK with this.

This does not excuse personal failings. It only goes to say that their own expressed “outrage” is a bullsh*t lie.

He should have asked the NYC Planned Parenthood offices where he could hire a jailbait prostitute. PP is good at keeping that paperwork hush hush.

This has nothing to do with NY state legislature. Lee is (was) a US Congressman.
