    I look forward to Chris Cillizza's article blaming this on Maxine Waters' poor manners.

    Amazing headline and frightening article.

    Alabama-based League of the South launches Russian-language page to promote 'Southern nationalism'

    "As fellow Whites of northern European extraction, we come from the same general gene pool. As inheritors of the European cultural tradition, we share similar values, customs, and ways of life. And as Christians, we worship the same Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and our common faith binds us as brothers and sisters," the group's leader Michael Hill wrote.

    Hill's letter continued, adding that the site's Russian-language page would be the "first step" towards building "[a] firm and resolute understanding and commitment to cooperation between the Russian people and the people of the South could indeed be the foundation for a better world in which our peoples thrive and prosper far into the future."

    Instead of Pan-Africanism its Pan-Whitelandianism. Funny how those European white countries aren't really interested but our rednecks 5,000 miles away are.

    Every day that passes I wonder if we're basically done as a country with more or less a common sense of right & wrong and what America (aspirationally anyway) is supposed to mean. Getting to the point where I wanna cold cock every Trumper for what they've done. Even the fat old ladies. That's not a healthy way to be.

    Reason #157 to vote for every Democrat on the ballot in November. The GOP quietly is trying to roll back the Endangered Species Act. This was a Nixon program, for God's sake. Deciding to protect species from going extinct is one of those things that societies do as they evolve, such as prevent its citizens from starving.

    Get these people the hell out of office. There isn't a hint of moderation about them, even the ones who act as if they are responsible and sane will do reactionary crap like this when you're not looking.

    Yeah.... this is a kick in my balls. There is a slim vote (as it now stands) to have it defeated. But if it passes, it will be a quick trip to the unemployment line again.

    The GOP is quietly trying to roll back the Magnuson Stevens Fisheries Act too. Thank you for pointing this out. I thought I posted it in this forum, but have possibly mixed it up with another place where I frequent.

    Wait ... the Republicans are voting to eliminate your job in order to create jobs?

    Yes. As a permits biologist my job is to create Categorical Exclusions...or reasons to get around National Environmental Policy Act, marine mammal protection act, Fisheries act, or ESA. I usually focus on researchers, University Professor, researchers, or people doing their thesis. They follow the same rules as we do, except they need to go through the paperwork to touch of these animals and get them on board for processing them for whatever they are doing. If they don't have the proper paperwork, and are caught with these animals tagging them or handling them, they're in a heap of trouble. Removing section 4D would eliminate the need for a categorical exclusion memo, thus less people applying.

    The bigger imact however is the blurb in the new proposal and which it says to not look at the economic impacts. For (a simple) example if the migration of the right whales northward is directly into the path of a new oil rig, right whales are screwed. The organization putting up the oil rig does not need to consult NOAA OR BOEM to put up the oil rig because that protection clause, which is the heart of the ESA, has been stripped away.

    Hello,

    I wanted to clarify but realized that the time for editing has passed. Instead of saying "has been stripped" I should have said "is looking to be stripped." IMHO there are not enough votes, unless Murkowski or McCain flips.

    The economy under Trump is very, very similar to the last 7 years of Obama...growth, but unsatisfactory in light of the depths we hit during the Great Recession.

    Of course, Trump has the advantage of a steroid shot in the form of increased deficits pumping more money into the economy.

    Kelly said she and Sauer, who was running for reelection and is a member of the state House Sexual Discrimination and Harassment Task Force, started a long-distance relationship in 2016 and she moved to Chicago from California in June 2017 to continue the relationship.

    Kincannon is back in the news in the best way possible - it turns out he is the second coming of Jesus Christ! And to prove it he ripped apart his mother's beagle and bathed in its blood! The thousand year sacrifice has been fulfilled!

    Fortunately he was wearing his underwear, so we didn't get the full Kincannon again.
