I don't think it's so radical to say that anyone who denies that Biden won the 2020 election should be barred from holding public office. It is an unquestionable mark of a seditionist and on par with pledging loyalty to a foreign government or army.
PAINFUL to watch. There’s a clear Trump judicial nominee loyalty test.
They must forever deny, deny, deny that he lost the 2020 presidential election.
Fragile.

It appears that vote-counting may be done in KY. If so, it's an astounding *42-point* overperformance for Democrat Gary Clemons, a union leader and Army vet. This district moved to the right last year, from Biden+10 to Harris+5, but the GOP never seriously contested it.

this is sort of cosmically funny because you know if you looked at their employees' hard drives, a lot of them would go to federal prison
Heritage Foundation, backers of Project 2025, have issued a call to criminalize porn by detailing specific types of imagery that should be illegal, including "deviate sexual intercourse," "female genitals," and "nudity."
Only "civilizing" images that point to "marital sex" should be allowed.
