WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A Polish court has ruled in favor of the government in its standoff with a major new World War II museum that had been fighting for its survival.

The conflict revolves around the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk, which has been under creation since 2008 and was scheduled to open within weeks.

The decision by the Supreme Administrative Court on Tuesday is a victory for the populist and nationalistic Law and Justice ruling party, allowing it to take control of one of the last public institutions that had remained independent following the party's rise to power in 2015.

The government opposed the museum because it takes an international approach to telling the story of the war, and has vowed to make it a purely Polish story.

words matter: there's nothing conservative about what's going on. drumpf is not conservative. conservatives should actively reject that equation - it will be very bad for them.

drumpf & his mob are reactionary grifters uninterested in the responsibilities of governing

And that one out of the three probably trends toward the least populated counties. It's definitely a problem, but it's an inherent one from using the private sector--at a certain level, market factors bring limitations.

I get that, and I'm far from a health care policy wonk.

Union vote for this election was 51/43. Trump has a huge opportunity with unions that a Republican (well, Trump's not really a Republican) hasn't had in decades.

When drumpf doesn't deliver meaningful infrastructure dough - because congressional Rs will either have to completely abandon their deficit hypocricy OR block tax cuts to approve more than token projects -it seems likely that union voters, like non-union voters, will blame drumpf, or congressional Rs, or both. And their reaction to any schemes to "privatize" infrastructure projects may be even stronger.

The Republicans will get in line and do exactly what Trump tells them to............just like Little Marco yesterday.
