[Who would you vote for]

Who would you vote for? Feel free to do as many or as few as you'd like.

For my own, keep in mind that ideological consistency doesn't matter as much to me on the EU Parliament level.
Austria: SPÖ
Belgium: CD&V/Les Engagés/CSP
Bulgaria: No clue honestly
Croatia: Rivers of Justice
Cyprus: Democratic Party
Czech Republic: Přísaha and Motorists
Denmark: Social Democrats
Estonia: Social Democratic Party
Finland: Social Democratic Party of Finland or maybe the Christian Democrats
France: L'Alliance Rurale for my boi Lassalle
Germany: Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht or FW. I like Wagenknecht even if she's to my left on some things. FW's European program largely matches my stances.
Greece: PASOK
Hungary: TISZA
Ireland: Aontú
Italy: Alternativa Popolare probably? I don't like Schlein's PD, even though I like the tiny component Democrazia Solidale.
Latvia: Union of Greens and Farmers
Lithuania: Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union
Luxembourg: Christian Social People's Party
Malta: Labour
Netherlands: CU or CDA
Poland: Third Way
Portugal: PS but maybe gonna protest vote Nova Direita like I did earlier this year
Romania: IDK most of them are bad
Slovakia: Voice – Social Democracy I guess but most of these are bad
Slovenia: New Slovenia – Christian Democrats
Spain: PSOE
Sweden: Social Democratic Party but would consider the Christian Democrats

Just like @iceman said Voter Registrations in Palm Beach County are dwindling.

According to this Spreadsheet here

PB County

D - 323,921
R - 272,967

A little of 50,000 Advantage to the D's in a core D-Base County.

Miami-Dade

D - 512,623
R - 446,400

Around 66,000 Advantage to the D's here.

Meanwhile Statewide Republicans have increased their lead to nearly 916,000. When Harris visited the State on May it was 903,000 or so.

At the outset I didn't believe Republicans could reach a 1M Registration lead by Nov 5. Now I do very much.

Jonathan Alter reporting the trial will convene early at 8:45 tomorrow morning rather than the usual 9:30 so that Merchan can squeeze in as much as possible of what's left (Cohen's cross & redirect, the charge conference, summations, & jury instructions) to ensure that the deliberations can begin by Thursday at the latest, before the Memorial Day weekend starts.

White South Africans are basically British people except the 1970s never ended.

What a pity this country has become when the opposition party resorting to impeachment has become a norm.

What choice did Democrats have after his outrageous crimes? You're not seriously suggesting that either of his impeachments were the wrong response?

My comment is not exclusive for Democrats alone, same goes to Republicans as well who were trying to impeach Biden. It’s a shame that the congressional dysfunction will most likely become an endless cycle of retaliation by the opposing party to the POTUS, whoever he/she is, wherein they should be allocating their time and resources to issues which should benefit the american people in general. Like who would want to sit and watch fox news and cnn coverage about impeachment 90% of the time?

But in saying that, you're equating Democrats' impeachments of Trump (which were clearly justified) and Republican's discussion of maybe impeaching Biden (which was clearly frivolous).

If Trump [god forbid] returns to the White House and never commits any impeachable crimes, then no, he won't be impeached. If he does, he will be. You can at least count on Democrats to only use impeachment when forced to, not for frivolous reasons.

Looks like New Jersey's own Fat Pat will be West Virginia's next governor.

Seemingly we're eternally doomed for Morrisey to win competitive primaries with 30-35% of the vote.

Do you think he would lose a runoff to Moore (if West Virginia had the same election laws as Texas or Georgia)?

Alito can't even make a point like "the Constitution doesn't say anything special about abortion" without turning it into a hundred-page culture war screed, so nobody should be at all surprised about this. The man is a half-step shy of being Reaganfan with a JD.

If Robert Bork were alive today, on the one hand he'd surely feel vindicated and gratified by the direction the federal judiciary has gone, but on the other hand he'd be kicking himself for, during his confirmation hearings, making the fatal mistake of being truthful about his views.

Helicopter, mountains, thick fog - what could possibly go wrong?

As soon as Trump is fully out of our politics I think impeachment will be rare again.

Biden + DNC raised $90M in March and $26M of the haul was from his big fundraiser with Obama & Clinton. So without that fundraiser he would've raised roughly $60M in March. But $43M of Trump's $76M April haul was from his huge one day fundraiser where he maxed out a lot of donors. Both campaigns are relying a lot on big flashy fundraisers to juice their numbers.

Is it possible that Biden also maxed out some of his donors at that NYC fundraiser?

I don't think so; Biden's fundraiser was much more grassroots than Trumps

That Biden fundraiser was basically a concert with a couple thousand attendees. Trump's was a more traditional fundraiser with more than hundred top GOP donors giving the maximum amount.
