And Patreus making sense on not wanting to give ammunition to the extremists. Breaking the law for pussy aside, I hope they listen to him on this one.

I think Patreaus was a brilliant military leader. I know telling his mistress classified things undercuts his credibility, but he's still brilliant and deserves to be heard.

Also I think the republicans and democrats have so skewed what it means to be a republican or democrat that RINO and DINO are almost irrelevant terms these days.

The Wall Street Journal: “A Leading Light On The Tenth Circuit Court Of Appeals… As Qualified As He Is, Judge Gorsuch Ought To Be Confirmed At Least As Easily As President Obama’s Appointees…” “Judge Gorsuch is a leading light on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, where he was appointed in 2006 by George W. Bush. … As qualified as he is, Judge Gorsuch ought to be confirmed at least as easily as President Obama’s appointees Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.” (Editorial, “Trump’s Good Justice,” The Wall Street Journal, 1/31/17)

It's in the same vein as any press material going through the White House.

On Sunday, there was a "Morning Press Highlights" that was entirely choice quotes from Trump surrogates on the talk show circuit.

Trump is being kept in a bubble and only fed good things about him.

So back in the day, fratboy Gorsuch founded his college's satire newspaper, now home to headline gems such as:

quote:

"If Jews Aren't People, Then Who's Doing My Taxes?"

quote:

I'm Concerned That My Fish Isn't a Feminist

That said, the newspaper probably wasn't satire back then, although it's a great legacy

His yearbook quote however:

Washington: A legislation has been introduced in the US House of Representatives which among other things calls for more than doubling the minimum salary of H-1B visa holders to $130,000, making it difficult for firms to use the programme to replace American employees with foreign workers, including from India.

God knows time shifting groceries one day is an intolerable burden, too. Reminds me of an absurd "don't buy gas on this designated day" protest circa 2001. I couldn't make any of my coworkers understand why it would have zero effect on oil company revenues or profits even if the entire nation participated.

That gas protest was amazing. I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen more like that. Though the Starbucks boycott is in the same spirit of stupidity

A reminder to all that loathe the commonwealth of Pennsylvania that Toomey kept his job because of two things:

1) The democratic nominee was basically just a clone of HRC and could not have been more unlikeable. I personally voted for HRC and Mcginty, but those that voted for Trump out of shear disdain were going to do the same in the Senate Race.
2) The R focus on the race drove spending from both parties to be the most egregious senatorial race spending in history

Regardless of what he says publicly, Toomey is a loving spineless shill and will do whatever the RNC tells him to do. Do not trust him to cross party lines until the RNC declares open season on the orange hobgoblin. He's basically Santorum 2.0 (which is funny, because Santorum didn't endorse him when he was running for the seat the first time).

hindsight e: I mean holy poo poo, you couldn't turn on a TV for 4 months because of those two assholes. It was every commercial break.

I swear, every single ad break on the major local radio stations featured a Toomey ad. These were usually but not always followed up with a McGinty ad.
