Price seems cowardly and in over his head.
Quick Google shows that GoGo is wrong with regards to the Kiwi and the Banana.

some talking head mentions Price's appearance before Senate panel is NOT his confirmation hearing, which happens next week....so confused, but I guess one thing that means is he/drumpfco still has a chance to pull him out

I love that at the same moment in the news cycle that Pruitt says that climate change/human impact needs more study & a report hits the table declaring 2016 as the hottest on record.

I’m a former law enforcement officer in my 50s, originally from Texas but currently living in a small Midwestern town. I’m a real political junkie, spending much of my day reading news and watching C-SPAN, and issues like immigration enforcement, pro-life laws, and health care are important to me. Though I tend to fall on the conservative end of the political spectrum, it’s important to me to remain open-minded, and I’ve cast my vote for Democratic candidates like Al Gore in the past.

Last year was a particularly tough choice. I hated both candidates, wishing every day that Washington had offered up different options. I would have voted for Marco Rubio or Bernie Sanders any day over those two. I swore I would sit out on this election, unable to vote for either Trump or Clinton in good conscience.


still, at least there's one vote that won't go to Trump again:
I wish I had. I wish I had done anything else but vote for him. I know my one small vote doesn’t make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things, but this one feels so personal. The decision haunts me every day. And I’ll do whatever I can to help reverse it.

one at a time


This is what is called "buyer's remorse". Caveat Emptor, bitches!!

those sure are maps

feels like vote counts might communicate more than colorized displays with no legend/key

parenthetically, what is Rs fetish for imagining that voting is about real estate - the whole "drumpf won xty eight gazillion counties", as if anyone cared about counties?

I mean I know he wants to be able to claim SOME quantifiably large victory margin other than his slim electoral college score, but nobody gives a fuck about counties. Yes, all politics is local - but that still has to do with humans, not building lots
