i generally do, and i’ll slow down even more if i see any kids toys in the yard for fear of a rogue ball shooting out into the street, just as i slow down in wooded areas for deer crossing.

yeah, Obama opened Pandora’s Box, lol.

Tell that to Putin.

Putin will keep pushing until someone pushes back. He has a long history of it. Obama has tried to not piss Putin off, and it hasn’t really worked. So it’s time to push back.

I appreciate a lot of what Obama is doing as he exits office to slow down insane Trump policies, but can we try to not piss off Putin? Please? Keep your enemies close is a thing for a reason.

Tens of people who’d like to move huge extraction industries there.

What Obama’s New National Monuments Mean For the Militia Movement

Yea, I am sure there are tons of people who would just love to move to the barren, desolate wastelands that are the Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico deserts if only the government wasn’t hoarding all that valuable, arid, water-less land.

I’m fine with the feds owning a majority of my state. They do a better job managing it than my own idiot legislators ever have.

If they would take on state races and redraw the maps in 2020, we might have a shot, but there’s no organized movement to fund a fight for statehouses, because…

Maybe.....and I’m just spitballing here.....they should, I don’t know? Support policies that are good for their constituents/the country and say no to policies that they disagree with?

“No way Donald Trump wins a second term in 2020"

I would argue that it’s the job of both parties to cross lines as needed to achieve the compromise required to effectively pass laws that govern the nation.

“leftists” is a great sign that you are about to read something from an idiot.

When Obama took office, the country was shit, it isn’t shit anymore. Old farts with memory issues always seem to forget that.
