The sanctions bill that we passed violated all of the terms of the Iran Nuke Deal and they're now free to spin up the centrifuges.

Wait wait wait. You mean Trump was RIGHT that the sanction bill was bad?

He's also right when he calls it unconstitutional. It's a bad bill that takes us out of step with the allies, doesn't do much to actually hurt Russia, scotches the Nuke Deal, and would never stand up in a court of law.

I got cross-leveled to an Army Reserve unit from WV to deploy to Afghanistan. I had a whole year to get acquainted with the social maladies of West Virginians.

My girlfriend's parents live there now, but they're transplants from Virginia who moved there for the affordable mansions and conservative politics. Her dad is building a factory there, but is having a hard time finding people who can pass a drug test.

Every single story that I've read about WV talks about the outside employer who comes in to suck up all that cheap labor but can't find employees who can pass a drug test. It's almost a trope by now.

Rick Wilson talked about the polls and the way they work that the lowest floor possible for any president was in the low 20s. Like. No matter what they do, any president will always have 1/5th of the country's support.

He also went on to explain that the over all poll is less important than the party poll. Which still has Trump north of 75%. Once that starts to free fall, then a President becomes a liability and needs to be jettisoned.

Which means unless House and Senate republicans suddenly grow a moral compass, even a tape of him loving his under age daughter won't matter. Because he isn't going below 75% regardless of what he does.

Though to be clear, 75% is still pretty piss poor for a party poll.

Holy poo poo. And there's still so much rain to come, too.

The bayous and branch of a river that Houston uses to drain the water that falls on the city are expected to become one giant lake sometime today or tomorrow. Meaning that they'll stop draining water out of the city and start flooding it back in.

If my two day old knowledge of Houston geography is correct, that's the side of town closest to the bayous and the river, where the floodwaters are highest.

I don't know why the gently caress everything thinks I'm equating the two. I'm more curious about "what happens next" because I have a hard time just believing everything is going to settle down when the white supremacists figure out that today isn't their day.

Most will peel off and join groups like the DSA or Food Not Bombs or go back to regular activism, there might be a core that tries Black Bloc tactics at big globalization events but the cops are pretty good at beating the dogshit out of those guys so they never amount to much.

Think of Antifa as the white blood cell reaction of the body politic to the rise of the hard right. When the disease is beaten back, they tend to fade back into the body.
