Don't Blame Me…I Didn't Vote for the SOB
Yes….I remember those post-Nixon years very well. It was if nobody had voted for Nixon….or at least anybody who would admit to it. It was amazing....he went from a landslide victory to....crickets.

During the 1972 elections one of my teachers held a mock election... it was my first time I realized how out of step I was with my peers.

In a class of 31 teens Nixon won over McGovern 28-3. I knew then it would be “an uphill climb.”

So NEEDS' point is that because immigration CREATED the country, en masse' immigration should always be accepted - with no real limits whatsoever.

There is, of course, a huge valley between no limits whatsoever, and the position articulated in my post which is current policy plus a reasonable path to citizenship, plus citizen status for DACA recipients.  That is, as I said, the policy that according to polling is supported by a majority in this country. 

First off - "the majority of the country" tally doesnt matter on issues - the current controlling party gets to dictate.

If we all voted on everything the nation would be more of a mess

As for your description of your current stance - happy to hear you recommend the Guatemalans, Mexicans, etc trying to illegally enter our nation at the souithern border be turned away -

Seig heil, motherfuckahs!

Pesky regulations getting in the way of profit...

Let's allow asbestos back in, shall we?

Alexandra Petri has an amusing column on this a day or two back,  in WaPo. 

I have a crush on her.
She's quite a dish....


She’s brilliant. That was easy to see when she was in the school theater program with my kids.

This is the guy who jumped on the Trump team early and defended Trump’s refusal to release his taxes... and now you know why.

Does America have any of these new go-faster missiles?

China hails a 'successful' test of a new hypersonic weapon that could slip a nuke past US defences

China has successfully tested a new hypersonic aircraft, a potential "hypersonic strike weapon" that could one day be capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads and evading all existing defence networks like the US missile shields, according to Chinese state-run and state-affiliated media, citing experts and the domestic designers.

The Xingkong-2 (Starry Sky-2) hypersonic experimental waverider vehicle designed by the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics in Beijing can reportedly achieve a top speed six times the velocity of sound.

No more need for ground troops...no more need for them to have to fight in the ridiculous manners of the past...grenade to grenade, rifle to rifle, bayonet to bayonet, cannon-fodder for tanks, machine guns etc...as in WW2, WW1, and wars since.
Now, as mommy-dearest once told young bambu..."don't worry, it'll be "one flash and you're ash warfare" soon".

Wow

Interesting that they didnt keep this a secret.

Meanwhile USA announced same over the winter and even talked about the ‘Son of Blackbird’ the SR-72.

But this is why you keep assholes away from nuclear codes.

There’s money to be made in preparing for nuclear war but unlike conventional war there ain’t no profit to be made by actually having one.

China has a stock market, too.

Hi guys!

Trump was fucked when Ty Cobb quit.

Trump thinks he can baffle Mueller with his bullshit and if you wanted to win in the court of public opinion that’s all well and good, but Rudy’s Schlick won’t work in court. Don’t worry about impeachment even if Dems take the House, no way they get a majority in the Senate.

But poor Junior is in the unenviable position of having his tit caught in the wringer and he doesn’t do shit without telling daddy.

Manafort is also fucked, his case is all paper and he has a long track record. Manafort and Gates brought in Pence to be VP.

The only question is how does 5he nation clean up the mess.

Meanwhile, OH-12 is wild.

So what are Dems finally running on and winning with? Healthcare. Who woulda thunk it.
