The mid-terms still scare the hell out of me. My fear is that:
-The Trumpers will be out in force (they all love a good, orderly march)
-The normal GOP will fall in line and pretend "all is well"
-Too many other people will have tuned out and not vote.
It should be simple - any GOP person in congress should be asked a simple question - Do you still support Trump? Yes/no?
I don't even care who wins, Dem or GOP, as long as neither support Trump.
I'm sure the cost of libraries is minimal and you could find tons of waste say in the defense and military sector but nobody touches those.
How about the $400 billion dollar jet that can't outfight planes 20+ years older?

Why do we need this plane when no nation on Earth can rival what we have now? Who knows, but screw poor people anyway.
Oh and let's not forget the navy ship that costs $800,000 to fire one shot (and that's a low end estimate).

Oh and make sure you stand for the anthem... because we can't afford seats anyway.

Nope, that's all important. I love libraries as much as the next fellow, but if it comes down to providing free education and shelter for *THOSE PEOPLE* or letting an orange billionaire fraud spend half his time on vacation at properties he owns and billing us at inflated rates for the accommodations, I'm on team #Grabbem. #SarcasmFont
This Andre Walker reminds me of the kind of ignorance that runs rampant in the republican party. Namely, the climate deniers who conflate the current weather they are experiencing to climate change
There's absolutely an anti-intellectualism mentality that creeps into the alt right agenda. They claim how the entire higher education system is a propaganda machine popping out socialists left and right.
The alt right definitely wants people poor and dumb.
No idea where to put this, but seems like something that would be common occurrence in Trump's America.
Riding a bike and looking at driveways. "Throwing" ID at the officer. 10 years maximum security facility.

My god... I think I left my driveway uncovered when I left this morning. I hope nobody is looking at it from a bike in the street while I am gone.
This is the police state we've been living in for some time now. It is bad enough to stop someone because they match a super vague description, but then there was even no crime reported?

Usually that only happens when the super vague description starts with African and ends with American (though, of course, they may just condense that down to one word starting with an 'N').
Nah just being facetious. But it wouldn't surprise me.
Yea I don't but he seemed to feel threatened by the way she handed him her ID.
First charges have been filed in the Mueller investigation. Who they are for is sealed. I'm thinking Flynn or Manafort.

He's getting more and more desperate. The election is almost a year ago and he's still trying to deflect to Hillary.
I had someone I know tell me she thinks Muller is the one who charges were filed for and the rest of the democrats are going to all go down like dominoes. I asked, with all sincerity since I thought she was saying the wrong name by mistake, “You think Muller is filing charges against himself?” “Oh, he’s being investigated too. He’s one of the most corrupt. I think he’s getting arrested and that one at the airport with Bill Clinton.” I’m not joking. This exchange happed. It really happened. Rest assured, a conversation with this person is no longer possible.
Yeesh. I'm thinking that we are having an evolutionary split in the species not physically but mentally - maybe something physical in the brain. Its just not possible to have any type of communication with some people and not just politics it can be anything that they deeply self-identity with that allows for no criticization whatsoever.
