There are a lot of Confederate battle flags here for an Underground Railroad endpoint. the entire upper midwest is like that Kekekela posted:He became pretty open with his Republican leanings and making it obvious he was interested in politics as soon as he made bank. While a Senate bid is probably not realistic yet, I've always thought he was a good bet to run for congress at some point. if we were talking a US rep seat somewhere in the UP or detroit suburbs in 2018, I think he would fare a lot better.

The weird holdout on the GOP bill to me is Murkowski. She's gotten primaried from the right when she was going along with all the other bullshit shenanigans with the Senate. She only won her most recent term due to a write in. Unless I misjudge politics, to me that seems more a license to go your own way than tack right with the crazies. Or am I wrong about Alaska politics?

I only listened to Godly Christian bands in the 90's. Who is this child of rock and how are they not qualified to be in the Senate? Playing Satan's kazoo in front of crowds should be enough to disqualify him.

Nothus posted:President Donald J Trump. With our dumb system and broken electorate, literally anything is possible. For the nth time, "Trump because president despite predictions therefore predictions can never be made" is the worstest possible take from 2016, there were structural factors that led to Trump becoming president such as the electoral college which are not operative in a statewide election, or in any other kind of election either

I like Wray saying his response to illegal pressure from trump would be to resign. Comey failed to do his job and head in for one last meeting with a wire and a keyword script, and now the takeaway is that administrative cops resign instead of investigating active government criminal conspiracy. Apparently you wave a 20 at a traffic cop, and he takes the long walk like Sydow in the Stallone Dredd movie.

As a KGB agent, no, I don't think he killed very many people at all, and I don't think he ever did with his bare hands. As President of Russia? ...welllllll...I wouldn't be surprised if a judo practice went wrong or something at one point.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Do you think Putin has killed a man with his bare hands? Piano wire counts. No. He was never a street officer in the KGB/FSB, and was widely resented for it in the agency when he rose through the ranks despite not having the hands-on experience most operatives did. Edit: I'll take the opportunity to once again recommend Masha Gessen's book in the strongest possible way.
