This is probably a good thing though, right? (Well, depending on who the replacement is, I suppose)

Yes, getting rid of Bolton is probably a good thing. I am not of a mind that having "adults" in the room is a good thing if those adults are in fact that warmongering idiots who came up with our Iraq policy. But our foreign policy apparatus is still a total flaming train wreck.

@JonathanKarl got rocked by the president for his reporting @ABC, except he is a Baptist Preacher man in KY. Don’s legion of trolls have since work Rev. Carl, not ABC’s Karl, over again and again and then some. He responded with an open letter that included this: “Your heart must be in a dangerous place to have such a consistent flow of defamation and disrespect towards so many” and a quote from Lincoln that could apply to twitter habits: “I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.”

What results are you seeing? What I looked at had McCready behind but 12 precincts in Mecklenburg to go and he could make up the 3k there.

McCready is barely winning the election day vote in Mecklenburg

Bishop is gonna win by about 2 points

Not great for the GOP in a Trump +12 district though

Results I was looking at just updated. It's over. It's a good showing for Dems with the way that district is carved, yet, in the end, it shows nothing really matters other than party affiliation.

I see him winning in Mecklenburg by 13% with 45 of 50 reporting?

McCready won the early vote by 6600 in the county. He's only up by 8000 overall, so he's barely winning the election day vote.

I gotcha. Glanced over the election day part. I didn't see the early vote broken down by county. I'm not all that surprised considering the portion of the county in the district.

That's a couple born to be a blended family and have interesting holidays. I'm surprised it took them so long.

I see him re-marrying one of those 22 year olds who poses in a camo bikini with an AR on Instagram and her re-marrying a John Podhoretz type, just some old fat think tank guy who openly fantasizes about genocide in the Middle East and taking Medicare away from seniors. I also see myself working on a screenplay along these lines with barely changed names about the first Christmas they’re all together. The Kickstarter will be up and running soon.

Seems a little tone deaf to me for a PHL council member to have his campaign team hawking literature at a SEPTA station on the morning of 9/11

In preparation to remember the victims of 9/11, POTUS could not help but tweet. Moments before the ceremony he let loose about his mistreatment by the media including stating that ' I have done (more than any other President in the first 2 1/2 years!)' and 'I haven’t even started campaigning yet' all because his polling is unfavorable.

@realDonaldTrump
3h
The Federal Reserve should get our interest rates down to ZERO, or less, and we should then start to refinance our debt. INTEREST COST COULD BE BROUGHT WAY DOWN, while at the same time substantially lengthening the term. We have the great currency, power, and balance sheet.....

@realDonaldTrump
3h
....The USA should always be paying the the lowest rate. No Inflation! It is only the naïveté of Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve that doesn’t allow us to do what other countries are already doing. A once in a lifetime opportunity that we are missing because of “Boneheads.”


Stay Classy, Donald. And lets not forget that this was a guy that Trump put in place.

If he gets interest rates less than zero, I'll even vote for him.
