I used to live in northern Wisconsin, though not this far north...most of the reservations have cross-deputized law enforcement, they have native sheriffs or deputies, but they are authorized off the reservation and non-native officers are authorized on the reservation. Still talking about very small numbers though,…

Yeah, I saw that auditor’s comments. Good lord. This is a situation where I think everyone defending him should be asked a very direct “So, if the choice is between a suspected pedophile and a democrat, you choose to support a suspected pedophile”. No euphemisms, nowhere to hide.

Yes, it def. looked very real when it ran into a tree while rolling over part of my front yard. I hate that builder. Our noise ordinance starts at 10 pm and stops at 7 am. That guy pushed every rule as far as he could.

Yes. And even though Alabama doesn’t allow a new candidate on the ballot this close to the election (I think), even a write in republican could win over a democrat. Perhaps Luther Strange, McConnell’s pick in the primary. Or perhaps we have finally found a line where decency overcomes partisanship.

I think Kimmel’s motives are more simple—he is really just promoting the health care exchange and trying to do so in a funny way. The humor is multi-layered and a deep dish of sarcasm, but the motive is pure.

God that piece was good. I had read Mayim Bialek’s op ed a few days earlier and thought, uh, ok, that’s odd. I really wish they had run a column by Lindy West instead. Them boom! Perfection. Strong, unapologetic, and tightly reasoned. She said what I didn’t know I was feeling.

I wonder about the. Roy Moore made a visit to the senate, and immediately afterward, Flake made a speech about basically how much Moore sucks. I think they were ready to sing kum bah ya the way they alway do, but Moore is different. McConnell and others seem to actually hate him, and any further acquaintance makes it…

Wait, he was mowing at 5 am? I thought this all went down at 3 in the afternoon?

In the video you can see she has binder clips holding it on her. this seems like a photograph dress to me, it does not look like it would be pleasing to touch. The color is lovely on her though.

I love the approach Younge took on this, because it gets at the core of Spencer’s argument: Spencer wants the right to decide who matters and why. That was the privilege that white supremacy gave to those ancestors he is so proud of, and anytime you argue with him about the value and contribution of all Americans he…

I also wonder if he is trying to curb any discussion of this as an attempted murder (waiting to see how severely Paul is injured). Any attempted murder or assault on a senator is a federal crime, but with a political motivation it could more easily be portrayed as an assassination attempt.

As I recently concluded a long running bougainvillea dispute, I concur. And I am deeply ashamed of how I weaponized bougainvillea.

As my grandmother would say, God helps those who help themselves. I believe in the power of prayer to give solace to the wounded and bereaved, to give strength in the moments when we need to fight. Last time I checked, prayer does not stop automatic weapons fire.

Jesus. This is a crazy time that the first thing we suspect in a neighbor altercation is disagreement over politics. I prefer a simpler time, when we would assume this assault was over Paul’s mowing pattern and untidy azaleas.

Dude, none of these guys are from Madison. Ryan (Janesville), Walker (Delevan), Preibus (Green Bay), Clark (Milwaukee), Allan (Racine).

I hope so. Trump never had my vote to begin with. And as a Houstonian, seeing the outpouring of support our city received from both government and private sources, it makes my heart hurt to think that people so close to us, who are legally entitled to the same government support, are being marginalized and forgotten.…

The golf trophy really hit me, the kind of philanthropy the Trump family does is such bullshit. Yes, they raise money (and skim it, but that is a different story) but they are clueless with how to properly use it, and they think that desperate people care about empty gestures. Such country club phonies.

I think so too. I heard an estimate that 10% of Puerto Ricans who lived on the island when Maria struck have already left. Every Puerto Rican person I know in Houston (which is only like 6 people) with family or friends on the island are helping them evacuate to Texas. Our Puerto Rican population is not enough to…

You reap what you sow motherfucker. This guy has been playing up his conservative credentials for years for free press to sell his pizza. Never bothered him before that it was likely already the choice for the Aryan brotherhood. He just does want them to say so in public.

The dumb thing about this scandal as well is that political parties are not expected to be neutral through a nominating contest. Democrat and Republican leadership routinely recruit and support primary candidates, and they also routinely try to defeat an unsuitable candidate (a la Roy Moore). The ascendency of Trump…
