Another shooting, but who can be surprised. We've basically accepted it as a society.

When the people of this country accepted the fact that 20 first-graders being slaughtered in an elementary school was okay, appears to be when that time came around.

Indescribable.

Why god, why??! This is not the time to be turning down money.  Sometimes I just want to slap some sense into my fellow Democrats.

Kirsten Gillibrand announced the same thing yesterday or the day before.  Unless the GOP does it, the Dems are likely going to severely handicap themselves.

Trump‘s ‘Harvest Box’ Isn’t Viable in SNAP Overhaul, Officials Say

Many are saying that the WH SNAP box proposal was not a serious proposal but meant as a distraction.

For years, many assumed that Netanyahu was far out of the reach of any authority except his own.

Harrison knows damn well that the audio on changeovers is inaudible, nobody could hear sh*t online/T.V. The crowd was almost non-existent.  Yet Harrison swears the video will clear his name.  Oh brother.

I don't have much faith in the process but...

Told that ATP is investigating ...stay tuned. Tennis being tennis, Harrison and Young are a round away from meeting in doubles. https://t.co/w4j8lNCpj2

The WH's lies about Porter-gate are unraveling.

Devastating timeline from Wray on FBI reports to the WH on Porter - partial report in March, final report in July, response to follow up requests in November. The WH knew for almost a year and did nothing.

When will Harrison be sanctioned for his behavior?  This is not the first time, nor will it be the last unless the sport's authorities step in.

He said if that was on a football field there would be a 15 yard penalty. So he did say something? With his history of on court comments such as that Hanfmann match in Brisbane I don’t know. I hope they both talk man to man and figure it out! https://t.co/cQZmsVVuZD

Also, I remember his altercation with Thanasi Kokkinakis a few years ago. Apparently, Kokkinakis believes that Harrison said something like "All you Greeks are the same..." referring to him and Nick Kyrgios.

Yesterday, I was watching a morning newsmagazine program where a man who has experience working with budget directors in previous administrations (I forget his name) called Trump's budget DOA as it is unworkable.  

He said that perhaps only a kernel of an idea from one small part of the budget can be the idea to shape other ideas-- he thought that was the most that can be done with Trump's budget ideas.

He said that considering the fact that the Senate already passed a spending bill that Trump's budget was too late anyway-- that is was a wishlist.  

In any case, Trump's budget is getting a massive amount of pushback right now.

Who the hell thinks that a Blue Apron style of food delivery is feasible for tens of millions of people??  Blue Apron itself has problems with its delivery infrastructure.  This scheme sounds like the perfect recipe for waste, graft and corruption.

Seeing how the budget deal just went through, hopefully this "innovative" assistance program will hopefully never see the light of day.

That seems to be the prevailing sentiment.

This guy needs to take the hint, if his parents are giving the maximum in campaign contributions-- to his opponent, they're unlikely to vote for him.

If you're parents won't vote for you...

You are far more moral than I am. My main problem is Junior and his family aren't "the king". Not much point using an inaccurate tool to go after the wrong people. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

You're right.  As far as incapacitated, I believe that Trump Sr. is already mentally incapacitated.  The GOP is also as much of a problem as Trump Sr. and Trump Jr.s. 

I really want as much of the GOP stain out of Congress as possible this year. It's as important to me that Trump's hands are tied politically (by removing his enablers in Congress) as it is to remove him from office entirely.

Someone sent white powder to Donald Trump Jr. Three people hospitalized. As much as I dislike all of these people I can't be happy about this.

This. I don't think anyone of good conscience could wish someone to be poisoned, incapacitated or worse, and this is coming from someone who detests the Trumps.

It is unlikely that the pizzagate trolls will mention this one.

The third one was around during Pam (John Dixon's niece) and Beau's run.  In fact, she followed Beau when he left Oakdale for good.
