2. That mendacious clown? Oy vey...

He's a (supposedly recovering) crack head. And, according to his bio, Jesus replaced the crack.

7. He laid off a bunch of people...

Like over 150 I had read somewhere. Sales must not be going that well.

My son is a Store Manager for Sleep Number and they are doing very well, selling lots of pillows too..

10. He was fined a shit-ton of money by California for false advertising,

6. He was literally-- by his own admission/boast-- a crack addict.

So far she's gotten some great opponents-- This guy the former crack addict, and the one who declared last week==

recently arrested for felony-level shoplifting-- more than $2k from 2 different stores. Says she's innocent because she doesn't remember anything.

"Stella told police that she “remembers arriving at Target to purchase items but nothing else” due to post-traumatic stress disorder, and that she “normally she goes to Target with someone because of anxiety around people,” according to a criminal complaint cited by The Guardian.

You'd think that even the scoundrels and thieves at the GOP would hesitate before putting forward someone who has to go into a fugue state in order to steal.

8. Ilhan Omar in a re-election landslide.

9. He's in a different district, I think CD 6 - Michele Bachmann's old district.

Omar's challenger is this fruitcake, Danielle Stella: https://qz.com/1676423/criminal-record-wont-stop-danielle-stellas-bid-for-ilhan-omars-seat/ She says her recent felony arrest won't stop her.



Oh, wait, he's in CD 3, Dean Phillips' (D) district.

11. She seems to be a typical GOP candidate.

From your link:

On June 19, Stella filed a statement of candidacy (pdf) with the Federal Election Commission despite her own legal woes. Stella was twice charged with theft this year, once in January for allegedly stealing 279 items worth more than $2,300 from a Target store. After she failed to appear in court on that charge on April 4, a warrant was issued for her arrest. That warrant was executed on April 28, when Stella was caught purportedly shoplifting $40 worth of items from a grocery store, including tick spray for cats.

Perhaps the 279 items accidentally fell into her purse.

12. But at least she's trying to keep the ticks off her cat.

Which is probably her only positive attribute.

[guillaumeb]

13. True. Perhaps the cat stole the items.

[customerserviceguy]

15. Another case of a cat burglar. n/t

[UniteFightBack]

16. Just wait until you hear her 'talk'. She is qualified to be a shot girl...but silent one. nt

14. His chronic dark black hair dye use has rotted his brain. I hear he's a big magat.
