The response of the “Freedom Caucus” is just an example of mean-spiritedness and political pandering. This lady, whether you agree with her politics or not, was Vice President and a Presidential nominee and will be a guest in our state. What ever happened to the hospitality and good manners that SC is noted for? Perhaps Representative Adam Morgan should concern himself with a subject for which he apparently has more experience: keeping drunk drivers off our roads.
““This same guy blocked the resolution to suspend the gas tax!” founding S.C. Freedom Caucus chairman Adam Morgan wrote on X. “No time to give citizens relief from skyrocketing fuel prices…but plenty of time to honor Kamala Harris!””
Fuck these dumbfucks who elected Donald Jesus Trump who has caused all this singlehandedly. The fish rots from the head, all they are all rotten rancid fish.
So disappointed in our Republicans in the SC legislature. Really upset with the leaders and Dennis Moss.
They are not really focused on helping and supporting our people. We deserve better in SC. How did we elect such ill-informed people? These people show us every day that they are only looking out for each other. How can these people be respected as government leaders?

Mediocre Democratic candidate with no real ideas or stances to her name getting a mere ceremonial pat on the back for appearances sake and unhinged MAGA nuts froth at the mouth, what a surprise.
I can’t imagine living like that. It has to shorten one’s life to constantly spew vitriol at the slightest nothingburgers, of which right wing media is happy to serve an all-you-can-eat buffet of to wash the propaganda down.
The state should never show support for any political candidate at all. The legislators do NOT speak for all of the state’s citizens. This was just wrong and ought to be illegal. Period.
One more of my comments too good to keep to just one story and it appeared on Democrat’s “hotness problem”:
First, I do not think there is such a thing as “marxist-lennist-maoist dogma” and I am almost sure none of those self-identified latter-day feminists or otherwise-branded “hard-left” even read anything by Marx, Lenin, or Mao.
Next, PERSONALLY, I think the key to understanding latter-day “culture wars” in the so-called “West” is Charles Dickens’ greatest (in my opinion free from false humility) novel Great Expectations.
Forget for a while the romantic clap trap of Ms. Havisham grooming Estella to “break his heart.” And forget for a while whose, if anyone’s other than Ms. Havisham’s heart got actually broken.
The underlying plot is a convict going to Australia, enriching himself at the expense of the native people, and sending most of his money back to England for PIP to become educated as “a London gentleman.”
What does “a London gentleman” actually know or do? NOTHING other than some ancient philosophy and some partying.
And that is basically the ideal of the American “talking classes”: sitting on their butts and getting paid to merely talk, getting paid, that is, by money traceable back to the colonies.
Incidentally, and also stripping out the clap-trap romance of a dead woman’s daughter who loves one cousin but marries another, is the basic plot of Bronte’s Wuthering Heights: a strange found boy who grows up to disappear in the West Indies and returns with a fortune which he increases by enticing the established British “class” into gambling debts.
Or again, of the other Bronte sister’s Jane Ayre: a man forced to marry the crazed heiress of a fortune made in the West Indies after having squandered his own fortune on some French prostitutes and is rescued in his final destitution and blindness by the working-class Jane, who had herself suddenly come into the inheritance of a fortune made in America.
So, the hard right basically loves the hard left because without the other neither would have a subject to attack and get paid for attacking.
As for the REAL intellectual work of engineering infrastructure and treating patients, easy: just import foreign engineers and foreign doctors and get paid to argue how far to make them miserable.
And for the REAL work of growing food and transporting it to American tables, same answer: just import foreign agricultural workers and truck drivers and get paid to argue how far to make them miserable.
The REAL awakening will not be of the extreme left-talkers against the extreme right-talkers, or vice versa, but of those who do the REAL intellectual and physical work against those who want to continue getting paid for just talking about things.
GOP better be careful what they wish for. This is exactly how Joe Biden got elected President. He was not going to win the SC Dem. Primary. GOP, with Trump a clear winner in its primary. Told GOP voters to vote in the Dem. primary for Biden. Thought was: Biden had common sense, was beatable and better than the other ridiculous nominees. Wow, did that go wrong. Biden still thinks Clyburn got him elected President by way of the SC DEM. Primary. When it was the GOP in SC that got him the Primary win. Lesson: STAY OUT OF THE DEM. PRIMARY.

Bannister is a liberal trial lawyer, he keeps getting elected by liberal democrats in downtown Greenville.

You should say what you think and not hold back so much.
TDS is strong in this one.

The resolution is pretty dumb and a waste of time, but so are the efforts to name streets after Trump and Kirk.
You should have to be dead 100 years before something can be named in your honor.
I quite agree. And that pertains to Washington particularly.

Or as Tuco, played by Eli Wallach, so succinctly exclaims in the “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly:” “When you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.”
