Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Tuesday, April 26. Also, check out Samantha Bee’s comments on “genocidal pr*ck Andrew Jackson.” Sorry Jim Webb, not sorry. LOL
- What to Watch For as Five Eastern States Go to the Polls
- The Republican Senate Majority Is Collapsing Around Mitch McConnell
- Buying into Trump’s fake pivot would ruin the GOP (“GOP leaders such as RNC Chairman Reince Priebus are trying to pretend this is a normal political moment.” They are deeply in denial.)
- Trump rejects new advisers’ push to make him ‘presidential’ (Sorry, but nothing could ever make this ignorant, thuggish, neo-fascistic buffoon “presidential”)
- The Cruz-Kasich alliance against Trump is likely doomed (“This scenario is full of holes.”)
- The Kasich-Cruz alliance is too little, too late (“The only outrage about the anti-Trump partnership is that one didn’t happen sooner.”)
- How crybully Trump and his supporters excel at playing the victim
- What is Mr. Trump hiding by not releasing his tax returns?
- Non-Nominee Cruz Reportedly Begins Vetting Non-Candidate Fiorina For Veep (Delusional people.)
- Donald Trump’s no-win candidacy: Trump loses whether he acts more presidential or keeps acting like a jerk (“Trump wants to shed his nastiness for the general election, but that leaves him with nothing left to offer”)
- As Polls Show Rising Support To Confirm SCOTUS Nominee, Wash. Post Lauds “Remarkably Successful” Opposition
- Sanders Supporters Consider Where to Turn if His Bid Fails (Simple answer, and it’s spelled H-I-L-L-A-R-Y. She’s progressive, she’s extremely well qualified for the job, she’ll be our first female president, now let’s get her elected!))
- Federal Judge Upholds North Carolina Voter Rules (Ugh – George W. Bush appointee, of course.)
- Report eyes jobs in Virginia offshore wind industry (“Virginia could see as many as 14,000 jobs in the offshore wind energy industry over the next 15 years, according to a report issued by a group called the American Jobs Project.” Let’s do it!)
- Former Gov. Bob McDonnell starts company, does volunteer work while living in limbo
- Trump: Giving Virginia felons right to vote is ‘crooked politics’ (Translation: Trump, like most Republicans, knows that when more Americans vote, Democrats win, and he doesn’t like that. Waaaaaaaaaah!)
- Editorial: McAuliffe’s vigilante justice on felon voting rights (The “Republican Times-Disgrace” earns its nickname this morning!)
- Editorial: Correcting a post-Civil War injustice (“After the Civil War, states across the South withheld felons’ civil rights, even after a person had paid his debt to society, because by doing so they could keep blacks from voting.” Bingo.)
- Was a Va. firefighter humiliated by co-workers online before she killed herself? (“Nicole Mittendorff may have been the victim of a new form of workplace harassment.” Disgusting, these co-workers need to be in jail.)
- Casey: Fortune-teller sees bright political future for Al Bedrosian
