It was a screw-up by Benton county. They thought he was an Oregon resident which would have required him to update his registration on his 21st birthday. As a Washington resident he was not required to do this. The county acknowledged the mistake and admitted his record should never have been unsealed. There has been…

This is why I get so frustrated when Democrats complain about Joe Manchin and talk about primaring him. If you don’t run a conservative Democrat in a place like West Virginia, you will end up with someone like Blankenship in the Senate.

Really it’s the NRA probably loves these shootings because whenever one happens the sale of guns (and AR-15 variants in particular) skyrockets. It wouldn’t shock me at all if manufacturers started ramping up production whenever one of these shootings happens.

Don’t read the comments on that story...

When it comes to midterms, people tend to want to vote against the party in the White House, and the party not in power tends to be angrier and more inclined to vote. Being against the President is usually enough. Look at 2006, 2010 and 2014. The message in those elections was “Stop Bush” “Stop Obama” and “Stop…

Because that person will lose by 40 points and after a loss like that would have no future in politics. So they would need to find someone who has no interest in running again, but has enough loyalty to the Republican party to take the huge loss to save the party the embarrassment of this Nazi. Those “save the future…

Also Rachel Brand, who is next in line. By all accounts she is very much like Rosenstein and won’t play politics with national security.

They either support Trump or they get primaried by an even crazier Trump supporter in their super gerrymandered districts. This is also why the Senate is a little more sane, because the Senate can’t be gerrymandered.

My understanding is Green is the guy you bring in when you are going to make a plea deal. In the filing document the lawyers referred to “Sealed Exhibit 1" as their reason for requesting the leave. My guess is sealed exhibit 1 is a plea agreement.

For me the best version of Dancing Mad is the Black Mages version. To me that is better than any modernized remix.

The President can’t pardon for future crimes, so lying under oath would be a new crime. Of course, Trump could just pardon the person again for lying under oath. The downside for Trump of pardoning everyone who knows anything about Russia, is that they can no longer take the 5th amendment since there can be no…

The problem Democrats are running into with that mentality is this push towards ideological purity by the left wing of the party. They would rather lose a seat in Nebraska or West Virginia running what they consider to be a true liberal, than to run a pro-life, pro-gun candidate that will vote with the Democrats 75%…

In the original Oregonian article there was a part I found interesting. I’ve always thought of pedophiles as brain damaged people with no real chance for rehabilitation, but a child development psychologist quoted in the article said that teenage sex offenders, even as old as 18 can almost always be rehabilitated…

Klay doesn’t even need to score. His defense alone is all the Warriors need.

What is happening in this country right now? It feels like there is a massive competition going on to see who can screw over the most people and get away with it.

The Democrats actually picked up seats in the 2008 Obama wave election. Most of those seats were lost in the 2010 wipe-out where Republicans convinced a lot of Americans that Obamacare was going to kill them and the Democrats wanted to create a socialist state. Democrats are bad at combating outright lies, which…

They really do represent four entirely different schools of thought. Kushner is the business world and Wall Street. Pence is the religious right. Bannon is the alt-right, and Preibus is the GOP establishment. This could actually be fun to watch
