I find none of this shit funny anymore, and I’ve got a pretty dark sense of humor. With last Friday’s Mueller info-drops, they pretty much have a totally freaked out Trump over a barrel. If he shuts down the government, they can just say, “He’s using it as a distraction, he’s unfit to lead, and he’s already shown he’s…

Well, in the long game, they need to worry about Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), Florida (29 electoral votes), and Wisconsin (10 electoral votes) - the states Trump won small victories to win the electoral college.

She’s just smart enough to wrap it in that “I’m a little Italian grandmother who only ran for politics after raising my kids” shtick. As she comes from a…

I am still trying to figure out why MSP is ranked below DCA. I fly between them regularly, and I loathe flying out of DCA. Terminal B sucks (and if you were wanting to change terminals to eat someplace better, it requires going through security - the shuttle only runs between B/C and C), though it is an improvement…
