Almost 50% of those polled in the latest Economist/YouGov poll indicated that Trump was Honest and Trustworthy (33%) or weren't sure (15%). There are no words...

33 seems pretty low. Tribalism is strong and that's a shitty number.

The parts of the climate town hall that I’ve seen have been very good, in my opinion. This kind of thing is way better than the debates that they’ve been doing.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday lashed out at Republican colleague Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Texas) after he complained that universal background checks would prevent him from lending his handgun to his friends.


I am not enamored with AOC, but she has an indisputable point here.

BAKER'S DOZEN for House Republican

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) announced he will not seek reelection during an interview with Wisconsin radio host Mark Belling on Wednesday.

The Wisconsin Republican, 76, was first elected to the lower chamber in 1978.


To his credit, retirement is a worthy endeavor.

The date of that particular map is 4 days prior to trumps tweet.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

That map is dated 8/29. Trump sent his Alabama tweet on 9/1, after the storm changed course. This administration is so inept, they can't even properly create a fake map.

The Pentagon's announcement that it will divert $3.6 billion in military construction funds to help fund President Donald Trump's border wall has sparked bipartisan anger from lawmakers who learned Wednesday that their states will be impacted by the decision. Domestically, just under $1.8 billion is being shifted away from projects in 23 states and three US territories. Additionally, the Pentagon will defer more than $1.8 billion in military construction projects overseas to free up over $3.6 billion in funds for 11 wall projects on the southern border with Mexico, according to a complete list obtained by CNN Wednesday. In total, 127 domestic and overseas projects are being put on hold to help fund the wall that Trump initially promised would be paid for by Mexico.

What the fuck did they think was going to happen? Republicans have had several opportunities to stop Trump along the way but they are more interested in kissing his ass. They are 100% complicit in the state of our union. No wonder so many of them are not seeking re-election.

Alabama was going to be hit or grazed, and then Hurricane Dorian took a different path (up along the East Coast). The Fake News knows this very well. That’s why they’re the Fake News!
