Current Affairs General US politics (ie, not POTUS related)

What likely happened is that they heard there was a fire and simply got more information as time went on and updated the story as it progressed

I don't really think that's grounds to yell conspiracy or anything

I wasn't saying conspiracy , it was the general thought that information can be communicated in different ways for the same story to apply a different meaning. Just so happens I came across that as an example.

So arson to a Christian centre and fire broke out in an anti abortion centre gives two different versions of what is essentially the same story, depending on what stance you want to take on it.

Bad news for Democrats. Will make this seat harder to flip in November.

Dream scenario in PA yesterday.

Shapiro will give Mastriano a legendary beat down in November. He might get 70% of the vote. I mean this guy has no chance in a general election.

Fetterman is a bit of a political unicorn, and even I'm surprised how soundly he beat Lamb, who is a moderate Democrat that carried very purple to slightly red House districts the last few cycles. He will appeal to enough rural voters that have gone Trumpy over time. If he goes against Oz, it'll be an absolute beat down. I still think he'd crush McCormick as well, a more establishment rich Wall St low taxes type republican.

I knew he was a POS but didn't realize he was such a huge POS:

Cawthorn out and looks like Boebert lost an appeal to have a challenger disqualified so she'll be primaried by a moderate republican who has a good chance of winning in CO.

The sowing part of that plan might be fun, the reaping part (especially the IRS fees for quarterly underpayment) not so much.

Have you seen the latest conspiracy theory spouted from Republicans regarding abortions ? Foetuses being burned in incinerators to provide electricity for Washington DC. The country gets more extreme by the month.

Is that 3 year olds k-3?

That is far too young to even think about that, 3/4 year olds here are finger painting and not even learning basic maths.
