Read a short BBC article about this, where the last sentence was "Patreus will have to clear the trip to the capital with his parole officer." They probably tried, but found that they actually couldn't avoid the suggestion of "lol America" with this one.

Doing what R's did isn't gonna work for D's in R states. However, there are a lot of R districts with the gerrymandering that aren't strong R districts. Perhaps state legs are a better target, R's are setup to gain federally in 18 even with bad trump #'s.

Also, R's cost them quite a few Senate seats by running Tea Party idiots. Dems need to be careful to avoid doing the same.

He's been the most against trump in his party that like 86% want full trump obedience, *shrugs*.

"Whoosh" isn't me saying I'm on a better level than you. Anyway, I thought it was plain that I was implying it still affects you to just read Drudge headlines every day and not investigate further, or even to investigate further because they're setting the agenda for you.

I thought you were ignoring this on purpose, and going for the low hanging fruit. So I got frustrated and posted "Whoosh."

Hope that helps

Snopes did not assign an overall truthfulness grade to that Standing Rock story, however:

http://www.snopes.com/2017/02/10/standing-rock-trash/

"We had about 17,000 people here and then there was that big blizzard, then three or four days later, another big blizzard. So we had about 300 or 400 people left cleaning up stuff, some of which has been frozen to the ground… Everybody at camp is working so hard."

Why does Christie even bother hanging around Trump anymore? All Trump does it treat him with contempt, he didn't give him a job, and Christie is hated in his own state.

I listen to the local radio hosts, but sometimes will catch tiny portions of Rush or Mark Levin if I'm in my car at an odd time of day. I listen to podcasts of the local and weekend programming.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has been on the decline forever, but I check more for the local stuff.

Reddit is supposed to be a place where the hivemind does all of the work for you in sorting interesting things to the top, but as you can imagine, it's just like 2p2 with a tiny fraction of the brain cells and WAY more angry women. Not a friendly place for conservatives, though I've only been banned from one subreddit. (r/latestagecapitalism, fwiw)

WSJ subscription is through my office.

Checking Drudge is more of a habit and for whatever the big red headline is than anything else. I click through to an article maybe once a week?

I am a big fan of Jay Weber on WISN. He really puts a lot of effort into his show and commentary.

And you're seriously trying to claim you're the one not in a bubble?

lol Inso0 forever and always.

This.

Going after McClaskill and Manchin makes for a good revenge story, but it will hurt long term.

You want someone to primary in 2018? Start with ****ing Feinstein.

It's time the Logan act be enforced. They were clearly conspiring to undermine the current us government by trying to impact foreign policy.

(If anyone needs to be explained why having regular citizens and premature administrations interfere with foreign policy is bad, they should put themselves on timeout.)

In all honesty, I read the letter before reading the tweet comment, fully amazed, once again, at how people thought 'back then'. Unbelievable.
