Provably a horrible thing as demonstrated in just about every state. PA is moving backwards.

I hope so. I am honestly concerned that extremists are picking up victories. These folks were largely rejected in the last round of voting. I am frankly afraid of the nut jobs as it has an ugly feeling that they feel emboldened to come out into the sunshine. As an an independent running in VA-10 is an admitted white nationalist, self acknowledged pedophile, and thinks that any form of rape is ok, then the world is in a very strange orbit. He has no chance of winning, but was there ever a time where this type of person with these three distinctions could actually get the 1000 signatures to run?

Then they backstop it with the over the top praise that the same gave Trump for meeting with KJU. then they took it further to run MSNBC going to the mat for Obama meeting Castro, but shelling Trump. Of course Fox News was like a 5 minute parade unloading almost all their on air staff. Fair and balanced indeed.

You all have too much time on your hands. Learn some history. Obama failed in his diplomacy with Cuba. Gave it all away for nothing in return. President Trump is working to denuclearize Korean Peninsula, which Obama failed to do.

Katie Arrington used Sanford's criticism of Trump as the center piece of her campaign, Trump hypocritically made Sanford marital fidelity an issue. In addressing her victory Ms. Arrington said, “We are the party of Donald J. Trump.” SC being SC you could say, but other elections also show a more disturbing trend in this hyper partisan era.

Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt last year had a top aide help contact Republican donors who might offer his wife a job, eventually securing her a position at a conservative political group that has backed him for years, according to multiple individuals familiar with the matter.

The job hunt included Pruitt’s approaching wealthy party supporters and conservative figures with ties to the Trump administration. The individuals said he enlisted Samantha Dravis, then serving as associate administrator for the EPA’s Office of Policy, to line up work for his wife.

So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN. They are fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea. 500 days ago they would have “begged” for this deal-looked like war would break out. Our Country’s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!

What deal with North Korea?
