It’s Obama’s fault.

And what is the rush to get rid of Nancy Pelosi? Speaker is the most thankless job in Washington right now. Let her do her thing for at least the first year and then go from there.

Anyone have a good link for what races have yet to be called?

For me it's because I'd like to continue to make gains in 2020.

For me it’s because she is older then Bernie, and I don’t trust Bernie to live out his term.

PS I also think that the progressive agenda for today’s citizens should be slated by some folks who were out of college before my parents were in high school.

We need a bat-signal for JFLNYC for when someone posts about old people dying.

While speaking with Fox News’ Chris Wallace Sunday, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway admitted that the video of the incident (between Acosta and the intern) shared by press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was “sped up,” presumably to make it look more dramatic.

I’m too old and tired, can barely see to read and may not even make it to the end of this senten

Has she held a press conference since then?

33k lead for the blue Senator from Arizona.

That is a 1.5% lead.

The trend is your friend.

Good sign for 2020

The White House opted to drop the trip for the president due to rainy weather because the president’s Marine One helicopter cannot fly in rain or fog.

What?

Sounds sub-marine

Maybe someone will hit her on the head with a hammer and then we can slow it down to make it look like it barely touched her.

That may be the worst excuse I've ever seen. If the pres helicopter can't fly in rain or fog, Boeing or whoever made it should never get another contract again. In fact, maybe reporters should talk to the manufacturer to see what they say. Will they admit that their zillion dollar helicopter is useless?

Donald Trump didn’t attend an event honouring US military dead because he didn’t want to disrupt the traffic in Paris, the White House said on Sunday

So the a few Marine Generals, the rest of the world leaders, and the Post Office are more operationally able then Marine One and the US transportation team.

I know medical helicopters are frequently grounded due to weather. Flight also relies heavily on visuals- they go place other than pre-defined flight paths, most notably during takeoff and landing. So I wouldn't focus there. So yeah, is a 35 mile drive too much to ask??

To honor soldiers who died protecting those 35 miles.

Don’t know, drizzle and fog versus a high end military copter? Soo s doable.

FWIW, living in the DMV I’ve seen MOne flying in weather. Got a great picture of the flight on a foggy October morning when Clinton was in office on the mall, and they were not using the South Lawn for some reason.
