Comment on Here’s How a Government Shutdown Could Affect You

I just saw Melissa McCarthy on Only Murders In the Building and it reminded me of her brilliance. I'm reposting Red Painter's great post from February 4, 2017 I rarely use the words "best ever" when describing anything because it is so subjectivebut I am going to suspend my personal rule and declare this the best SNL skit in years.

“I do not know where to start with this man. He called the civil rights movement crap. Called LGBTQ people filth. Self-identified as a Nazi. Suggested bringing back slavery. Now, I shouldn’t have to really get into all this. I think it’s fair to say you do not need a governor who makes Donald Trump look almost normal.” — Barack Obama, talking about North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson (R).

Jesse Watters Primetime bookers must be desperate to fill the minutes between type-2 diabetes and CPAP alternative commercials, because they had on their own employee, usually relegated to weekends, Mark Levin.

On Friday, a Virginia judge ruled that Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s recent purge of close to two thousand voters from state rolls—within 90 days of November’s election—was illegal. Now, with that election less than two weeks away, the state must reinstate all 1,600 revoked registrations. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Patricia Giles found that Youngkin’s purge violated the National Voter Registration Act, a federal law that prevents states from removing ineligible voters from the rolls within 90 days of the election. Last August, Youngkin issued an executive order that included several “ballot security” measures, including the authority to revoke thousands of Virginians’ voter registrations on the suspicion that they were not US citizens—a notion rooted in a GOP conspiracy theory popularized by Donald Trump and his allies. Since then, his administration has been purging voters in waves, claiming to have revoked the registration of more than 6,000 non-citizens (and tens of thousands of people who had simply died).

Michelle Obama is set to make her first campaign appearance alongside Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday at a rally in Michigan, a move that Democrats are hoping will help boost voter turnout in the final stretch before the election. The former First Lady has maintained remarkable popularity since leaving the White House.

In Erivo, we see the same crazed, leftist female anger that drove white men away from Hillary.
