A county executive who is in charge of tax collections not knowing how to do her local taxes is a little different than a machinist or hair dresser making the same mistake. These things should be in her core competency, and she made at least four "mistakes." Democrats really should have picked someone else. |
Had we known about the Tax fraud issues, we probably would have chosen a better candidate but it's too late in the game to play Monday morning QB and at the end of the day, it's all about preventing the GOP from gaining that Senate seat. |

Again, deflecting. Where data is available, use it. How are you this dense? |
You are an entitled POS |
NBD right? She just screwed DC. As MD always does. |
| Btw, please describe how mathematically she might have underpaid given how the Homestead credit is designed. At best, she came out even. Unless somehow her townhome appreciated much more than her new home. Most likely she lost money. |
Yes, she saved about $14,000 on her DC taxes over many years. Hogan canceled a major mass transit project in Baltimore, gave back hundreds of millions of federal dollars that were intended for that project, and shifted the state funds to roads projects near his business properties. I guarantee you he made more than $14k on that at an exponentially higher cost to taxpayers. |
I’d prefer a candidate who pays their state taxes correctly. I’m not a blind voter like you, PP. Angela would have received a notice in the mail every year that she received the senior tax credit so she’s lying about her ignorance. That’s how property tax credits work. All through the mail and the courthouse. |

Angela Alsobrooks has opened a double-digit polling lead over Hogan.

I'd prefer Hogan any day in a Maryland governor's race. Relative to the low bar set by other state governors in modern times, he was a solid executive and fair leader. In a US Senate race during the Trump era, I have to choose the Dem candidate since balance of power in the Senate and therefore in our Federal Government is at stake. Alsobrooks could be a George Santos and from what i am hearing, may be a George Santos, but I'd still vote for her in this case. |
And this is the logical conclusion of "Blue no matter Who." This is how we end up with a government full of partisan dunces. |
Please share your favorite Hogan achievements that lead you to believe he is not a "partisan dunce"? |
This is the logical conclusion when our major parties have stumped to a level at which one of them inexplicably nominates a candidate as clearly awful as Trump for three consecutive elections and the other party is weak to the extent that someone as clearly awful as Trump has a chance to win. So, yes, we normal people with IQs above 90 are forced into a situation where we have to elect "dunces" to Congress to prevent a situation where Trump could have more power, just in case Trump is actually elected. It's a sad circumstance indeed. Trump being nominated was the first domino to drop so point your finger there first. |
Then you can blame the GOP who elect partisan dunces like Tuberville, the idiotic football coach who thinks that wasting taxpayer money, and denying hard serving military officers their promotions and leaving our military branches without their commanders, is an effective way to protest. Blame the GOP who think that Kennedy of Louisiana is some sort of bright bulb. Blame the GOP who elected JD Vance, who his showing that a Yale degree does not guarantee intelligence and that it is possible for adult males near their prime to lose IQ points every time they talk. With the GOP electing so many hard-liners who vote en masse, then the Democratic states need to vote for bulwark senators to hold the line against those who are ultimate partisans. The GOP started hard-lining back in the days of Newt Gingrich and the rise of the Tea Party. They were the first to elect out their moderates who were the conciliators and concession makers. After this, the blue dog Democrats were elected out and now we have very few moderates left to craft bipartisan agreements across the aisle. |
