I just wish we could find out which conservative son of a bitch it was who ordered all of these central american women and children to be rounded up and put into camps in the first place! Actually, we can probably just look through Bob Casey's press statements and find out - I'm sure he must have been just as outraged when that happened!

I'm not sure if you can point to any one state in the nation and say that can be used as a national model. 50 states equate to 50 different strategies.

Oh c'mon, are you saying North and South Dakota need separate strategies?

Probably, there's enough people in both to form multiple factions. I bet a lot of people not familiar with Idaho and Montana would try to group them together too but trag and I could likely easily explain why they deserve very different strategies.

Yeah. Would not want a repeat of the buffalo/bison debacle of 1983.

Not really, but a different strategy for the Eastern 1/3 of Gestalt Dakota than the rest of the territory = essential.

Whats the turn-over in the FCC from administration to administration? Did the president at the time initiate the investigation into Janet Jackson's nip slip?

Trump inherited the behemoth federal government, but that isn't to say that he controls much of it.

Amazing work

The press is already calling the French election for Macron. Phew! Obviously there will continue to be a lot of discord around the central issues, but this is preferable to La Pen leading the global hate movement.

Oh, shit, do you think the "shy Le Pen voters" thought the election was tomorrow?

So I've had enough time to process and research the House's health care bill, and it seems abundantly clear that the Senate is going to draft their own bill and send it back to the House for review...

So I'm mostly just angry with the media. Trump and the House were obviously hungry for a big win in the press; why would the Media give it to him, just serving up 48 hours of positive coverage that was obviously false? I feel like it's 11/9 all over again -- the mainstream news media is just going along with the narrative that will keep people clicking.

some articles i have read have quickly noted, after mentioning that it passed in the house, that passage in the senate is not guaranteed. but, yes, not all... and depending on your source of news these days, channel 23 may or may not have left that part out.

this president, however, might arguably be more content with a superficial victory, or the appearance of victory, than with a bill actually passing. it's comforting in a way on this subject, because if it fails now - and he believes he can get away with blaming it on the democrats / not harming the republicans - he might just be fine leaving obamacare in place, and moving on to his tax cut
