Ron Johnson is not the only cancer in WI

Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) on Wednesday blasted Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) for saying on the House floor that Black Lives Matter "doesn't like the old-fashioned family" and called for his remarks to be stricken from the record.

with labor back during the Walker years. We went into the Capitol rotunda and chanted while the legislature was present. Of course, no one was armed and no property was damaged. We were not Republicans, after all!

Grothman was one of those guys whose body language, facial expressions and blatant arrogance immediately told you about his character. I think I reflexively curled my lip the first time I saw him. He was real popular with the 10 or 12 busloads of "concerned citizens" the Koch brothers paid for and made it very obvious we were "liberal riffraff" and ought go be arrested if not shot.

Just the memories still make the hairs on my neck stand up!

so they still live together. She's in his campaign ads and is a repulsive as he is. We need to be rid of gerrymanders in Wisconsin. https://www.prwatch.org/news/2014/11/12656/meet-americas-wacky-new-midwestern-congressman

My representative after the gerrymandering.

I faced him down when Palin came. I ran into him on the Capital steps.

I yelled, You’re the lazy slob over and over and he ran away.

There may be a handful in the entire party that deserve the air in their lungs.

who got elected to Sean Duffy's seat when Duffy resigned, ostensibly to help his wife take care of child #9 (and then grabbed onto a lucrative lobbying job or some such)?
