I mean, these loons aren’t thinking this through. Republicans are in the minority in both houses of the state legislature, and they want to give the legislature the power to elect senators.

The paper said that the show is part of a joint project with Carlson TV, in which he will interview figures and politicians who have "alternative views to the mainstream."

Of course there's a difference.   Step back from the this being a Washington state issue.  It's far more complex than numbers (my home in the USA is in Washington, I am very familiar with these nutbars and what they're up to).  There is an active effort to split most of the GOP controlled areas from the state.   In addition, this Supreme court gutted part of the 14th amendment, what's to stop them from doing the same to the 17th?

When the courts, state legislatures, and Governor's seats are dominated by a minority party who has no problem with lawlessness, do you really think that the Constitution and checks and balances are going to get in their way of the national GOP for long?

Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) — In his bid to become North Carolina’s first Black governor, Republican Mark Robinson assails government safety net spending as a “plantation of welfare and victimhood” that has mired generations of Black people in “dependency” and poverty.

But the lieutenant governor’s political rise wouldn’t have been possible without it.

Over the past decade, Robinson’s household has relied on income from Balanced Nutrition Inc., a nonprofit founded by his wife, Yolanda Hill, that administered a free lunch program for North Carolina children. The organization, funded entirely by taxpayers, has collected roughly $7 million in government funding since 2017, while paying out at least $830,000 in salaries to Hill, Robinson and other members of their family, tax filings and state documents show.

The income offered the Robinsons a degree of stability after decades of struggle that included multiple bankruptcies, home foreclosure and misdemeanor charges — later dropped — for writing bad checks. In Robinson’s telling, the financial turnaround provided by the organization also allowed for his ascent into the North Carolina government.
