I'm not sure which is the more surprising story here, that someone walked out on Pence, or that the mayor of South Bend is literally named Buttigieg.

So, just to get my alt-right talking points straight, the new thing is that Obama had a secret back channel to Iran so it makes what Kushner did okay?

It might have "worked" for them with Trump, but choosing extreme candidates in primaries cost Republicans a lot of winnable elections over the years. The idea that centrism is why Democrats lose is dumb.

I remember someone bringing up 15-20 pages ago "prepare for some bullshit from Clinton's book about slaves as the distraction du jour"; guess what is now popping up all over my Facebook? Interestingly not from anyone voting (R)*, but from my politically-dumbest, Jill Stein aficionado, "the Russia investigations are just a distraction", horseshoe-theory proving Leftist friends. The ones perpetually looking for an excuse to stay home and be holier-than-thou.

Kill me.

I'm still not sure if I think a Mueller firing would be a net positive, but I like that the idea got Rick Wilson all fired up.

Honestly I really hope our election was hacked. Then we at least have a loving excuse and can maybe save face in the international community later. "Sorry about Trump, we didn't loving elect him. Our sincere apologies we were even in a position to be hacked, please accept a return to normalcy"

Seriously, why is Trump's complete disinterest in filling government positions not a huge goddamn news story?

The Republican Party has been "dying off" for the last 15 years. They're not going anywhere anytime soon and to think that there will be a time where their base is completely gone is kind of silly.

lol no they won't use the rainy day fund for ~*~reasons~*~

Instead, all they're doing is slashing funds, laying people off, freezing hiring to everything except for the department of corrections and the University of Wyoming, selling public land, and praying that coal and oil prices go back up to what they were eight years ago.

I'm of the opinion that the state could be a leader in nuclear power development because there is probably more uranium in Wyoming than any other one state in the country, but the Wyoming government's corporate masters in fossil fuels won't allow it. Wyoming's largest contributor to state funds is energy royalties from mining, followed by sales tax. And if people in coal and oil aren't working, then they're not spending money to generate sales tax revenue. There is nothing for the state to fall back on and all those people that moved here looking for any kind of work during the recession have packed up and left if they are able to.

I live in Riverton and there are houses all over the loving place that are for sale that will probably never get sold and if they do, I doubt it will be what the seller thinks they'll get. I guess Lander is faring okay, but that's because the town is more white collar and no one says "I hate Lander because there are too many Indians" like they do about Riverton. Cheyenne might be going through some growth as people who don't like the cost of living in Colorado are slowly migrating there and commuting all the way to Fort Collins for work.

Pee tape by a loving mile, even assuming that the Comey tape actually exists. Evidence of Russian leverage over the President is probably about as big a deal as actually making an illegal order, and icky pee pee sex work is much more likely to rattle his voters.
