party from voting. Usual targets are African Americans, the poor, and the elderly.
Voter Suppression in Alabama works like this; first they require a state issued ID to vote, then they close all the drivers license stations in the 31 counties that have a black majority.

Charles Grassley
Douche-bag Republican Senator from Iowa who is the Chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee. Typically Grassley follows the official party line and doesn't seem to have any original thoughts of his own.
Immediately following the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Mitch McConnell announced that the Senate would not confirm any replacement until after the next election likely meaning there will be a vacancy left unfilled for at least a year. Charles Grassley of course instantly fell in line and refused to even hold hearings.

Deez Nuts 2016
A fake presidential campaign launched by a 15 year-old kid from Iowa. The campaign is basically meant as a joke, but it is also a statement of frustration over the two-party system and the lack of decent candidates. Oddly some polls have shown Deez Nuts is the most popular independent candidate since Ross Perot
The Deez Nuts 2016 campaign was meant as a joke, but the campaign has brought up some interesting issues. For example Deez Nuts has pointed out the hypocrisy of Fox News for fanning the flames of birtherism in regard to Barack Obama who was born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father, but has never questioned the citizenship of Ted Cruz who was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father.
