It's not delivery... It's da Jordan

:D

Wrong continent, dude. Even da Jordan isn't a river in Jordan.

:D

Have a great weekend.

Whew!! For a moment I actually thought you believed such bigoted drivel..

I mean, I know Hot Lips does, but I thought ya had more self-respect..

Glad ta see I was right.. :D

I was kind of kidding with comment [47]. But only kinda.

Trumpers are on the loose with knives.

At high school, way back when, there were a small group of Tolkien freaks - they had multiple copies of LOTR - one had a leather bound set he was particularly proud of. There were a couple of things about these guys - they were mostly very friendly - I was close friends with a couple - and they wouldn't talk to non-freaks about LOTR unless it was brought up.

They were smart, and from what I know, they all are doing well.

I was one of the few people who read any Ayn Rand. I read all of "The Fountainhead" and started "Atlas Shrugged" but couldn't take more than 1/4 of it.

I understand the fascination to submerge into an alternate world (LOTR), but I don't get the Ryan types who believe this alternative world really applies to the real world.

If any of the LOTR guys tried to run as politicians to try to make LOTRs a reality, I'd have phoned up the guys in the white coats. Why do we take the Ayn Rand obsessed seriously?

Wrong continent, dude. Even da Jordan isn't a river in Jordan.

Ryan's sketchiness begins with his love affair with libertarianism and Jack Kemp, former football star turned GOP economic guru.

Both believed the world according to Ayn Rand, who basically founded a movement by writing communism's tenets out backward, and making it sound like reasoned thought by putting it into the mouths of extreme and conveniently wealthy individualists in her novels.

Ryan's plan will compete with that of Mulvaney, whose DOA budget seems to have been based on the predicate that the rich and their bodyguards, the military, have been neglected of late and that the poor have been hoarding America's wealth through transparent scams, such as Social Security Disability and 'meals on wheels'. So Trump's budget manages to be even meaner than Ryan's.

And since they control congress, those are the only choices we get.

;)

Have a great weekend.

This is, sadly, too close to the truth. Where I live the decent people fear right wing crazy gun nut far more than terrorists or run-on-the-mill criminals.

Basically the gun nuts kill 30,000 Americans every year - and the right wing is encouraging more gun nuts every day and making it easier for them to threaten and kill people on the street, malls, schools, etc.

Given that the number of households with a firearm is dropping continuously, yet the total number of guns is going up, the gun nuts are arming them even more that before. Some of my (decent Republican) friends in Texas are concerned about the rhetoric they are hearing - we need the right wing community to step up and help law enforcement identify the terrorists in their groups. Otherwise we need to do something to restrict any more coming in from outside - we need to make sure they are not bringing in more extremists using our immigration laws - we need extreme vetting to weed out those who have extreme and dangerous gun viewpoints. We also need to infiltrate the gun community with law enforcement to monitor their activities and plans to ensure they aren't going to do decent Americans any harm.

These people have no respect for our culture, our people, our constitution and are a blight on decent America.

No, what is sad is that you ACTUALLY believe that..

The Democrat Party has been utterly DEVASTATED and completely demoralized..

But yea.. The GOP is in a sad state... :D

Both Wall St and the Kremlin love their useful idiots.

And to be fair, while 45 and his family of dolts can easily be described as "Useful Idiots", some of the smarter Republicans like McConnell (I'm still on the wall regarding Ryan, they paint him as the vunder-kid, but he isn't looking too smart at the moment) are more "Useful Venals".

What a sad state the Republicans are in at the moment. Bereft of decency, they are discovering that the power that they so cherish is only making them hated even more, even by their own voters.

Of course, you ignore all the tens of millions that Wall Street gives to Democrats..

Once again, FACTS are ignored by the hypocrites...

And Democrats aren't???

A former community college professor has been arrested in connection with using a U-shaped bicycle lock to violently attack several people during an April pro-Trump rally in Berkeley, California.
Eric Clanton, a former adjunct professor of philosophy at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, was arrested in Oakland on three counts of suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon that isn’t a firearm and assault causing great bodily injury, East Bay Times reported.
Video of one of the attacks during an April 15 demonstration at Civic Center Park in Berkeley, showing a man gushing blood from a strike to the head, went viral in the days following clashes between Trump supporters and so-called anti-fascists. Police said Thursday that the video ultimately helped them in identifying Mr. Clanton, the Times reported.
Berkeley police said Mr. Clanton is suspected of “violent assaults” on three people, who received “significant injuries” in the attacks.

There's a LOT more facts supporting LEFT WING violence against the Right then the other way around..

Of course, FACTS mean little to hypocrites....

DEMOCRAT CIVIL WAR!!!!!!! :D

heh

My advice: stay in groups -- never approach one by yourself if you can avoid it. Keep your phone ready to capture any violent episodes. Steer clear of neighborhoods where they cluster. If you see a gated community, move away as quickly as possible.

If an encounter us unavoidable, be vigilant and use common sense.

Hope everyone survives the holiday weekend! Be careful out there!

FWIW.

It always boggles my mind to hear that the GOP is 'more trusted' to create economic prosperity than Dems, given that the actual numbers have remained so lop-sided in the other direction for some time now.

One would think, for instance, that the disastrous economics of the Bush Administration, which started with a surplus and ended with the biggest economic hole since the depression, and the remarkable success of the Obama Administration, which, even in the face of unprecedented obstruction, mostly reversed that, would have ended the debate for good.

But here they are again, pushing their snake-oil economics to what they must believe is the most gullible electorate in history. Even when Dems point out a two trillion dollar error in their math, they remain nonplussed.

To their Wall Street donors, this must be viewed as a feature, rather than a bug: since nearly all of them were near the top of their classes in math, they surely see the bad math coming out of the OMB and think, "these are just the sort of Useful Idiots that can be persuaded that we're strapped for cash. Let's go with them."

NOT-45 is still collecting dark money...

Maybe she will run again in 2020!!! :D

If ya'all are satisfied to LOSE every time and get a Participation Trophy, then I am happy for ya'all.. :D

Yea... It's called "spin"... Maybe you have heard of it... :D

THat's what ya'all say after EVERY loss..

Onward.. To the NEXT loss

How many times are ya gonna lose before ya'all realize that it's NOT working???

No time for political correctness or compassion - these losers are a drag on all of us. Let's get rid of the worst states first.

I will let Harry Enten of FiveThirtyEight respond, this taken from last night's live blog:

"It’s a fair question. At the end of the day, Democrats need to win Republican-held seats to take back the House. But Montana’s seat wouldn’t be a top pickup opportunity. There are 120 Republican-held seats that lean more Democratic on the presidential level than Montana’s. So looking at the Montana race by itself isn’t helpful if you’re interested in the national picture.

Instead, we look at how much better Quist is doing than we’d expect given the presidential lean in Montana. If he loses by, say, 8 points, it means he outperformed Montana’s default political lean — how it would vote in a presidential election that was tied nationally — by 13 points. There are 64 GOP-held seats that are 13 points redder than the nation as a whole or less. Now, Democrats likely won’t win all 64, but that’s why a mid-single-digit loss for a Democrat in Montana suggests that a lot of seats are in play for them in 2018."

In the end, Gianforte won by only seven points in a state that favored Trump in the Presidential by twenty. That's a swing of thirteen points. Onward, to Georgia!

Former Democratic congressional candidate Mark Wicklund on April 18 reportedly crashed his car while driving under the influence and hit a police officer at the hospital afterward.

Yea.. Democrats would NEVER get violent... :^/

That's our Democrat Party..

"Ooooohhh we were SOOO close"

If the Democrats are happy with ALWAYS being ==><== just that close, fine.. They just need to keep on doing EXACTLY what they are doing..

If Democrats actually want to WIN an election or two...

They have to pull their heads out of their asses...

Typical pubbie. He lied in the pinch, then tries to pretend he didn't. His supporters, of course, eat it up because shit-eaters enjoy shit. They've learned to appreciate the subtle variations in shit, from the big lumpy chunks to the runny, liquid sorts. If you watch a mob of republicans carefully, (through binoculars, from a distance since you don't know when they might smell liberalism and start punching or shooting or drooling) you can see them picking the bright yellow corn kernals out of their teeth.

Sour grapes with a side of crow..

It's becoming a Left Wingery staple... :D

The facts clearly show that the Democrat Party doesn't know how to win elections anymore..

They get another shot in GA... Maybe they'll have better luck there..

Doubtful.. Their strategy is to keep doing the same old thing over and over and pray for a different result.. :D

For you, TS...

http://dl.glitter-graphics.com/pub/956/956831ojqbzqjnh4.gif

I know why you are not surprised..

Because you acknowledge the fact that the American people are no longer buying what the Demcorat Party is selling...

Seems Nancy Pelosi is complaining that President Trump isn't visiting countries in alphabetical order..

“I thought it was unusual for the President of the United States to go to Saudi Arabia first. Saudi Arabia!
It wasn’t even alphabetical. I mean, Saudi Arabia!”
-Nancy Pelosi

Ya'all see what I mean!?

The Left is so hysterically anti-Trump that it's going after the MOST minutest and MOST stoopidist things!!!

I mean, com'on!!!

Tell me that THAT accusation is rational and logical..

Go ahead... I dare ya!! I double-dog dare ya!!!

This is a PERFECT example of how far off the reservation ya'all have gone..

And THIS is your TOP Democrat leader!!!!

It boggles the mind...

America First....

Argue it later.

Nothing to argue if we agree... :D

Argue it later.

I'm just sayin'.....

Democrats :eyeroll:

If results stay on this arc, wake-up call for Dems & activists to recruit serious, sober, quality candidates. Not quirky personalities.
11:46 PM - 25 May 2017

The problem is that the Democrat Party has had a "wake up call" every day since 9 November 2016...

The REAL problem is that the Dems and activists keep hitting the SNOOZE button and going back to the same old tired shit that has failed time and time and time and time again....

YOU CAN'T FIX STOOPID
-Ron White

America is Trump country now..

https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-faces-the-fury-of-a-scorned-ruling-class-1495753759

And, until such time as the Democrat Party can put the needs of every day Amerians *BEFORE* their own nefarious Party agenda and until the Democrat Party can put the safety and security of this country BEFORE their own Party agenda....

This will continue to be Trump country and Democrats will continue to lose elections....

I really can't make it any simpler than that..

But ya'all know I'll spend a lot of time trying. :D

if 70% of the votes were cast before GG choke-slammed a reporter, how big a difference, if any, did it make? maybe voters secretly thought assaulting a reporter was a good thing...

No doubt. :D

But let's be realistic here..

An aggressive Left Wing scumbag reporter trespassed into the candidates inner office, stuck a recorder in the candidate's face and started yelling questions... I probably would have body slammed the reporter too, just for the trespassing...

But it was an understandable heat of the moment thing and I can all but guarantee you that the assault charge is going to be dropped..

I mean, it's not as if the candidate snuck up behind the reporter and beat him with a chain until the reporter was seriously bleeding.

No.. THAT happened when some liberal scumbag professor did that to a Trump supporter...

Video of the April 15 assault exploded on right-wing websites in the days following the clash as scores of cybersleuths began identifying Eric Clanton as the masked man seen bashing a Trump backer in the head, causing serious bleeding.

But, of course NO ONE here condemns THAT sort of attack, eh???

"Gee! I wonder why that is!!"
-Kevin Spacey, THE NEGOTIATOR

What can I say.. I am a sneaky guy...

"Sneeky sneeky.."
-John Turturro, MR DEEDS

:D

Because, from where I sit, where the rubber meets the road....

It ain't happenin'... :D

My guess is the reporter beat down actually HELPED.. :D

heh

Amen to that. And then have the DNC actually support them, of course. That bit's important too...

Onward to GA...

We project that Greg Gianforte has won the #MTAL special election. #MTAL https://decisiondeskhq.com/results/montana-at-large-congressional-election/ …

Even relative to 2016 results — which already featured a big urban/rural divide — we’re seeing one tonight. In Montana’s most populous counties, Quist is running only about 3 or 4 points behind the benchmarks he’d need to win (although, Yellowstone is a big exception to that so far). But in the smaller, more rural ones, he’s running maybe 12 points behind his benchmarks.

thanks!

-CW

"We’re barely more than four months out from Trump taking office and they’re “only” winning places where he won by 20+ points by mid-single digits. They have every right to spin the results as they see fit. But if they aren’t a bit worried behind the scenes, I don’t think they’re doing themselves any favors."

note that last bit -- we are officially over 100,000 comments for the site. Was going to make a note of it when it happened, but it kind of snuck by me.

Anyway, on to the next 100K!

-CW

Latest report: Quist is running behind Gov. Bullock's 2016 numbers (he won by 4 points) and ahead of the Democratic Congressional candidate from 2016 (who lost by 15)..

But it's still mostly early votes, even with 33% in.

decision desk hq is pretty up to the minute

Could be a late night, folks...

CNN's isn't that great, and the MT sec of state one seems to be lagging...

don't think WashPost is doing one, and HuffPost one was having problems on my browser...

Anyone?

So, at the first turn, Gianforte seems to be in favor with the behavioral addiction contingent.
