I also want to say that I've enjoyed commenting here, and you weirdos are hilarious, but also mostly good people. Without you, I probably would have written a book by now.

Maybe not cash, but there must be a way to trade them in for bitcoin

It's good cape weather

According to wikipedia, it was originally part of the Territory of New Mexico, and seceded from the Union to form the Territory of Arizona, which was first recognized by the CSA. There were also Confederate soldiers from Arizona.

It is truly amazing watching McConnell realize he screwed himself over in real time.

Pence has left the chamber as well, so they don't think they can flip Murkowski back

McCain just had a huddle with Dems on the Senate floor, and the Democrats came away smiling while the rest of the Republicans scattered, looking anxious. Possibly good news on the healthcare front!

No, I can't get on board with that sentiment. Just because these kids haven't yet reach the age when they think for themselves (an age that we have, as a country, more or less agreed is 18), doesn't mean they never will.

This was solid. More like rockabilly or early rock & roll than classic folk (by which I assume something more along the lines of old time or bluegrass is meant), but these guys sound good.

It was wrong. But teenage boys have always been, and will always be, terrible. That should not be true of the president.

I don't think it's that necessarily. Having worked at a scout camp for 5 years, most of them don't really understand what's going on right now or take public office seriously yet, but they can tell a buffoon when they see one. Many of them were probably cheering him on because they think idiots are entertaining.
