I didn't realize Washington had a Louisiana style primary. Turns out though that an old friend from grad school, Carolyn Long, took second in WA-3, so will face the incumbent Republican.

Collins was told that a drug failed a clinical trial placed while at the White House. Before leaving the grounds he called his son 7 times, until he got him, to tell him to get out. He or his son called the son's fiance to also get out. The stock fell 96%... after the collins clan got out. son and dad to be are also charged.

Craziest news, there is video of Collins at this WH picnic war dialing the kid to get the news out.

Collins lied to the FBI about his actions. Said it never happened. Of course the FBI already knew better. There will be an open seat in NY very soon, and the Rep can only hope for a comfortable cell where he will spend some serious time. I guess, at least, he will have some good company.

Rand Paul and Donald are new buddies. Since the Helsinki Summit where everyone else was out, but Paul was quick to fill the void. Paul took a little love note to Moscow. since it was outted, the WH said ol' Rand asked for the letter. What is the truth? What was in the letter? The world may never know, until the Russia media spins it.

At risk of being a coastal Elite, which I know I am, I heard the Ohio victory speech or the self-proclaimed winner said that he's going to do everything in his power over the next 3 months to " keep America great again "

If I knew the seat was going to be up for a vote again in 3 months I don’t know if I would bother show up - whatever the outcome I don’t think you can read too much into it
I would rather see you lose than win myself

Collins says he will be exonerated, he will run for office again, and he will win. This is a witch hunt because he is a Trump supporter.

Americans (26%) saying they agree “the president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,”


that seems like a leading question, but 26% is a bad number even for bait takers, snarks, and anarchists. This is from an IPSOS poll about American's views on the press.

Anybody who would answer a poll question that uses the term “bad behavior” is an idiot.

As a semi-aside, now that I'm taking in mom's mail I'm really disgusted by the level of propaganda disguised as pools that idiots send out these days. Especially targeting seniors. It's unscrupulous and immoral. And they all end with a plea for money to help fight against the atrocities they've just polled you about. I've actually filled out a few that had pre-paid reply envelopes, but I'm sure the extent of their looking at the return mail is just to see if a check falls out or if there's a credit card number scrawled in.

Ah--but you are making them spend money on that return stamp. Every little bit helps.

Serious question: when he gets pardoned, is there anything stopping him from running again?

I worked with a woman who stuffed all prepaid return envelops to the gills, to make them more expensive. She bragged about it over email -- "gorilla marketing."

I don't think there is anything stopping him even if he doesn't get pardoned.
