the terrible part 'bout our elephantine memory is that we need remember even vol psts. the rest is just nonsense which pretty much complete ignores yours previous fail 'bout blm and its organization and leadership as well as trying to convince us o' the fox news narrative regarding vigilantes who bring firearms to a protest. HA! Good Fun!

Jim Gaffigan just a comedian and no more relevant than anybody else. nevertheless, has been all too easy to pretend as if the common sense o' salt of the earth midwesterners had disappeared long before their 401ks. am relieved, even if we know the feeling is fleeting and ephemeral. HA! Good Fun! ps @Guard Dog is making the same mistake as vol and is being led down the rabbit hole by trump. there is crazy protesters and violent protesters and stoopid protesters. look, am the guy who keeps saying is wrong to generalize cops and law enforcement departments even if we do see a problem with training in general. not fair to blame all cops or even all police departments. is similar not fair to blame all protesters or most. however, it is becoming far easier to blame many protesters even if they is being confronted by unsavory d-bags like the seventeen year old with the ar-15 and by too many cops who is looking to use tear gas and rubber bullets on somebody. for the folks who listen to conservative radio and watch fox news, the streets are running red with blood and only trump can save 'em from anarchy... regardless o' the fact the anarchy is happening now, with trump as President. oh, and for gd in particular, am thinking the protest related fatalities dwindle substantial if people recognize just how asinine it is to be carrying 'round firearms at protests. there will be tempers flaring, in the darkness and accidents will happen. what could possibly go wrong if you have people carrying firearms in such a situation? isn't a matter o' second amendment rights. is 'bout good sense. just 'cause law says you can have your loaded ar-15 as you protests or protest the protesters, doesn't mean you should.

blm, as o' a couple months ago, were not trademarked. as o' the beginning o' this year, back when we still cared 'bout such stuff and stayed educated, there had been more than a dozen attempts to trademark blm. were even a european attempt. is some slogans which got trademarked, but not "blm," or "black lives matter." am suspecting the trademark efforts has increased since we looked. the biggest problem facing a blm trademark is all the different groups who use blm as their name and slogan. given how widespread is the usage, is difficult to procure trademark rights, and such should only become more difficult. honest don't know 'bout antifa as it were founded in europe like 80 years past and am not sure o' the history o' the euro trademark efforts. regardless, what would be a paradoxical question for a more reflective person is water off a duck's back for vol. such willful indifference must be blissful, no? argument: any group or organization had a founder or founders and those founders constitute a kind of leadership. all groups, no matter how decentralized has a functional leadership history and cannot be described as leaderless. blm had founders and is a recognizable entity. therefore, blm has leaders. now is obvious such logic is strained, but vol cannot see the problem. if any o' the premises fail, so too does the argument, and belief founder=leadership, particular years and even decades removed is a curious conclusion, particular for a group purposefully designed to avoid the need for leadership. is literal dozens, if not hundreds o' groups claiming to be part o' blm with no direct involvement with the founders o' blm or any group whose origin might be attributed to those founders. again, is part o' the difficulty with blm gaining trademark protections 'cause is not particular convincing when any one blm group claims to be the blm. this is another case where vol read something somewhere and got confused... probable 'cause gatewaypundit or breitbart intentional tried to mislead him. blm, as o' june 2020, did not have a trademark, but, for example, a sportswear manufacturer did get a slogan trademarked which included "black lives matter." am honest not recalling the exact slogan, but were ~ a dozen words in length. had to be a bit wordy to be sufficient distinct and unique from blm. 'course this all undercuts vol's conclusion 'bout the blm organization. nobody has a blm trademark in part 'cause in spite o' multiple efforts to do so, there ain't been anybody who sufficient identified as the blm. if vol has a question 'bout trademark, he shouldn't rely on the internet, and particular not the corners where he tends to lurk. HA! Good Fun!

so... ignoring the +185k dead for a moment, a considerable large number o' people had to be hospitalized and a noteworthy number o' those folks will indeed face respiratory problems perhaps for the rest o' their lives. nevertheless, 'cause o' some random report you don't link, you are wondering if the concerns 'bout the virus is overblown. ... okie dokie. ignoring the asymptomatic stuff complete, though the asymptomatic spread makes the disease more dangerous 'cause is no obvious way to detect who may be spreading (particular as US testing, tracing and quarantine is so bad) +185k deaths and any a significant number o' people with long term diminished health should be enough to convince any sane person that the virus is a serious threat. now show us a report from a dr. which claims covid-19 will make you susceptible to the demon sex trump's dr. warned us 'bout. we would dismiss outta hand and covid-19 would not be any less a serious threat 'cause we ignored the possibility o' losing our soul 'cause a previous covid-19 infection. the stuff you already know 'bout covid-19, stuff which ain't actual debateable, should be more than enough to convince you covid-19 is an unparallelled health threat the likes o' which we has not seen for a long time. HA! Good Fun!

63% support Black Lives Matter as recognition of discrimination jumps: POLL those numbers have changed since june. is now close to 50-50 in most national polls, and in a few battlegrounds, blm is underwater, so to speak. fair isn't part o' trump's vocabulary. you think trump planned a trip to kenosha to unify the country? he wants fires and mayhem, and if he doesn't get as much pyrotechnics as he wants, he will show images from protests in spain. trump's supporters don't care 'bout reasons. they want an excuse to continue supporting trump and the excuse need not be unassailable or even believable. HA! Good Fun!

we were engaged... once. were long time past. were somebody we met while we were at boalt, though assume she were a fellow student would be a mistake. met her while surfing, and weren't at all like tank girl from point break, and we sure as hell weren't no johnny utah, though our fiance's father were fbi. we got a job back in the midwest and that pretty much killed the engagement. were some little things which became problems and we knew the little things would only grow. end of engagement. were the closest we ever got. HA! Good Fun! ps is no longer boalt as a few years ago the school decided it were kinda shameful to name the school after a blatant racist. so-called cancel culture? good.

broad generalizations about the protesters isn't fair. however, by now it should be apparent trump and his followers don't care about fair. the lack of leadership amongst the protest movements is an excellent way to thwart authoritarian efforts to shut down a movement. if there is no metaphorical head to be severed, then the government loses one of its more effective and time honoured tactics. with the availability of smartphones, social media and the internet to connect it all, you don't need any kinda leader to organize a movement. trump, and people like vol, will continue to generalize protests and protesters to an unreasonable degree, and there is no nationally recognizable individual or leadership council to push back on such unfairness. when a protester does engage in violence, there isn't a leader who will go on tv and publicly repudiate the violence, making it clear that the protesters in general reject violence. when elements of the protesters begin arming themselves because of the presence of armed militia groups and cops are using increasingly violent means, there is no leadership council pointing to john lewis' example as a way to convince protesters that violence and carrying firearms will not help the cause. lack of leadership is an extremely effective way to combat authoritarian government efforts at suppression, and if portland or kenosha was in china, we would advocate such a model. unfortunate, it's an election year in a country struggling to hold onto its democracy in the face of an administration increasingly dismissive of the rule of law and of personal freedoms. trump's appeals to fear and ignorance will reach more than a few wavering voters. democrats should be worried regardless of the manifest unfairness of the accusations directed at the protests. however, once again, am admitting we don't have a solution. who is in a position to step forward and become the face and voice of the protests? unlikely any politician would do so as such would put their own career in jeopardy. keep in mind mlk were never particular popular with the population at large during his lifetime. we got nothing. HA! Good Fun!

cop training and cop culture. cops is trained to act reflexive and the cops who try and de escalate instead o' taking immediate and decisive action run the risk o' running afoul o' cop code. am not able to stress just how much our current law enforcement problems is the result o' decades o' seeming homogenized cop training poor suited for 2020 demands. but am not wanting to derail too much. FDA fires brand new spokesperson after Trump exaggerates plasma as coronavirus 'breakthrough' at RNC HA! Good Fun!

the reason you are less likely to see in the US is 'cause with the way covid-19 has been politicized in this country and given how the blue line tends to vote trump, too many o' our police and sheriffs is lockstep legionnaires in the bat sh!te crazy tinfoil hat brigade, posting on qanon sites, refusing to enforce mask mandates, indulging in 5g conspiracies and likely still hoarding eggs and toilet paper as they prepare for the possible biden/harris apocalypse. we has always (well, at least since we matured a bit and lost our reflex pugnacity) been cautious when dealing with cops not 'cause we thought they were all racist but 'cause they have guns, are authorized to use such weapons with little provocation, and 'cause a few cops is indeed racist. if you don't know, then is better to err on the side o' caution. no harm in being a little extra polite. the thing is, nowadays, too many cops is also hyper politicized and indulging in the bat crap craziness mainstreamed by our President. we got no idea what might set off such folks? is there a coded phrase qanon folks share to let each other identify themselves? "i am concerned about friday's weather forecast." something inane they slip into any conversation so they might recognize a fellow adherent? could be worth looking into just to be on the safe side. kidding 'bout the code phrase, but the rest... HA! Good Fun!

am hoping you are happy as playing the video made one o' our dogs go nuts. side note, seeing the length o' the dog's nails, we couldn't help but think the poor dog were complete misunderstood. so cute to see him/her playing and yodeling, but were actual a desperate cry for a walk. also, unless is a rescue situation, cannot imagine us ever owning a beagle. HA! Good Fun!

the reason there were no witnesses at the senate trial is 'cause o' senate majority. just one example. with functional democrat control o' the flow o' information and a parade o' witnesses and documents orchestrated by democrats w/o the kneecapping by mcconnell, will be very difficult to suppress evidence as happened the first go 'round. mcghan and bolton and pompeo will be forced to testify and all o' the suppressed documents will be on display. 'could get very ugly when it becomes clear to the public just how much were known to the senators who just went along. sure, some republicans will hold out no matter what. senators tend to have a better grasp o' history than our President, and they know that republican Congressman who did not loyal follow nixon were punished by their constituencies, regardless o' right or wrong. nevertheless, the first trial were a sham in spite o' considerable evidence already available. a second go 'round will be devastating... for everybody. the recent rubio report release alone should have republicans scared for january, but is an election year and how many people has read the near exhaustive report? HA! Good Fun!

so, because barr didn't admit wrongdoing, it didn't happen? ... ‘Just plain wrong’: Fox News analyst attacks Trump’s ‘unconstitutional’ use of federal troops in Portland the troops were there bruce and is only a complicit senate which made barr's lies possible. doesn't change that the troops were sent w/o a request by state actos necessary for them to be there. Trump Fires SDNY Prosecutor Who Refused to Resign barr claimed berman resigned. he did not. this were the one instance o' overt incompetence by barr we may point to and it surprised us... right up until the bannon charges. Judge slams Barr, orders review of Mueller report deletions “The Court cannot reconcile certain public representations made by Attorney General Barr with the findings in the Mueller Report,” wrote Walton, an appointee of President George W. Bush. “The inconsistencies between Attorney General Barr’s statements, made at a time when the public did not have access to the redacted version of the Mueller Report to assess the veracity of his statements, and portions of the redacted version of the Mueller Report that conflict with those statements cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary,” the judge added. barr lied. is no other way to describe. oh, and 'cause... have said barr is the most dangerous man in washington, 'cause unlike other trump enablers, barr is competent. with the sole exception o' the firing o' the sdny us attorney, barr hasn't made clear mistakes and there is unlikely to ever be criminal charges directed at him, but he faces impeachment in january as well as trump if three seats flip, and there is already more than enough evidence to support impeachment. the complicity o' the current senate makes barr and trump's malfeasance possible and barr is aware o' such, but his political life depends on such Congressional cowardice. edit: to make clear, am not actual in favor o' the january impeachments which could occur even if trump loses and would be set to leave office january 20. am indeed worried democrats, who will justifiable have reason to wanna payback complicit republicans for their efforts to undermine Constitutional democracy, will take swift and unwise action. am hopeful 'cause is biden, who would be President in such a scenario, cooler and more moderate personalities will prevail. do not be surprised if a democrat or even split senate complete changes the situation. HA! Good Fun!

am now 51, so might be more appropriate to identify as menopausal. HA! Good Fun!

“Indeed we can think of no better example of the police power, which the Founders denied the national government and reposed in the states, than the suppression of violent crime and vindication of its victims.”-- J. Rehnquist, us v morrison (2000) we almost invariably claim Justices are misidentified as republican or democrat. Justices follow legal philosophies which kinda/sorta mesh in some places with party philosophy, but that is frequent not the case. J. Scalia, for example, considered by many to be a pro-republican Justice, were the Court's most ardent defender o' 4th amendment protections, making it more difficult for cops to investigate and for da to criminalize. however, rehnquist... "as an aside, J. Rehnquist were always our prime example o' a dangerous Justice. no Justice active during our lifetime has received as much Gromnir vitriol as did Rehnquist. Scalia and Rehnquist were both "conservative" Justices and frequent they voted the same. even so, they occupied diametric opposed positions on our personal scale o' Justice approval." gromnir, feb 2016. rehnquist were a transparent political creature and even he had no stomach for the kinda nonsense you saw in portland. send in military is a state decision. period. worse, while oro and bruce may be forgiven for being unaware o' the law, every single US senator knew. even if they convinced self that somehow sending militarized fed police to portland to exacerbate the violence there were a good thing, they knew what were being done were unconstitutional. without a specific request from governor or state legislature (and not just a single pro-fed legislator) sending fed police to suppress violence is unconstitutional. end of story. period. this is not a gray area kinda issue. not even close. HA! Good Fun! ps what william barr did to legitimize the fed police/troop presence were to claim the protesters were insurrectionists, trying to overthrow the government o' the United States of America. don't even get us started if you are gonna try and sell that bit o' mularkey.

@BruceVC please reference our above links regarding the muslim ban promise. furthermore, the earliest iterations o' the President's attempt to implement the muslim ban were transparent and laughable unconstitutional. if you ban immigrants from the nations where +95% o' muslim immigrants to the US arrive, and you make exceptions for immigrants o' non muslim faith and then try an pretend as if you aren't attempting to ban muslim ingress, the Court will chastise. thank goodness. is nothing 'bout being a judge which means you need be willful obtuse. justice is blind, but she ain't deaf and stoopid. HA! Good Fun!

you should read elmer gantry. that were our point. HA! Good Fun!

we would note the predictable whataboutism from the trumpers... oh wait, we just did. the thing to keep in mind about the non-response to our muslim ban challenge is that trump's success isn't 'cause 30% o' the country believes his horseh!t and gaslighting. what trump is really selling is salvation and freedom from guilt. 30% o' the country is angry they has been made to feel guilty about agreeing with muslim bans. you got a family struggling to survive from paycheck-to-paycheck, and they see on tv how they is s'posed to feel guilty 'bout their white privilege? . uneducated doesn't mean you are worthless, but such folks has been made to feel that way for a long time. is more than a few smarty arse yankees who try and make southerners and midwesterners feel guilty about overt displays o' their faith. etc. god help us all, but trump secured the republican nomination with his muslim ban promise. every other republican candidate condemned trump's muslim ban. with the muslim ban, trump legitimized the 30%. trump was the first major Presidential candidate since nixon (*snort*) who genuine spoke to the 30%. trumpers will put up with anything from him, 'cause just like elmer gantry, what he is selling is salvation. jesus forgives your sins, and so too does trump. trumpers will follow him to hell and back because he is the one who is making it possible to breathe again in america, to blame immigrants for disappearing jobs and crime, to repudiate islam and homosexuality and blm. trump is making it possible for the silent majority (maybe 30% o' the country) to stand tall and proud and brandish their guns and cast away their masks. can we get an amen? HA! Good Fun!

posted a few months past, but the rnc made relevant by stealing. we didn't realize at first as we immediate turned off our tv when the fireworks display started, but the rnc used this song as accompaniment. the cohen estate is suing. ... am suspecting the rnc only considered that the word "hallelujah" would appeal to evangelicals. HA! Good Fun!

oh, and ad hominems are swell and peachy and fine from a logic stand point unless you use in place of argument. suggesting your fail o' an argument makes you meme worthy is not a logic fail. if you don't wanna be meme worthy, don't post meme worthy. most folks really don't understand logic fallacies. again, the president Promised a muslim ban. he attempted to implement a muslim ban. the Courts struck down the first two iterations o' the muslim ban. you and @MedicineDan do not get to pretend like the muslim ban were never promised and made part o' multiple executive orders 'cause the Court had more sense and wisdom than trump and his supporters. "The dissent's reference to Korematsu, however, affords this Court the opportunity to make express what is already obvious: Korematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided, has been overruled in the court of history, and—to be clear—'has no place in law under the Constitution. '"--J. Roberts sotomayor used a hammer, but roberts got in a not so subtle swipe at trump as the lawyers for the prez had actual used korematsu as support for their earlier muslim ban attempts. oh, and NEVER use "most americans" as the basis for legitimizing an Unconstitutional action. the whole point o' the Constitution is it is a bar on the tyranny o' the masses. the aforementioned internment of Japanese during ww2 was overwhelming approved by americans. not all trump voters are florida man meme, buth you are not helping. edit: ok, this part is kinda funny and am sure most forget. one o' the attempted muslim bans tried to ban all immigrants from select islamic nations, with the exception o' christians. *chuckle* HA! Good Fun! ps so far we are getting typical trumpster gaslighting, telling us not to look behind the curtain. still haven't seen a defense o' the promised muslim ban. somehow try to convince us we didn't see what we saw is cute and all, but am looking to see the defense o' the promised muslim ban, and why anybody o' conscience would support a candidate who made such a promise.

gonna ignore the total anarchy hyperbole and note how the incompetent local governments requested that the troops Not be sent in the first place. the troops became a focal point for the rioting and were not making trump look good 'mongst independents. no wonder. and blame the media? freaking stop. *sigh* last point is to correct what we hope is ignorance rather than malfeasance. is best to assume ignorance. with such in mind, we we will once again note trump promised a muslim ban. trump was elected after he made the promise o' the muslim ban. were a muslim ban for purposes o' the election. even after elected, trump tried to implement a muslim ban. it were the THIRD iteration o' the ban which were directed at nations and not faiths. you voted for the muslim ban guy who did genuine try and implement a muslim ban. no defense. is another florida man meme? HA! Good Fun!

1) sending troops to portland helped? course not. predictable, it made worse, which is why they were removed. police is a way to deal with an existing problem. the problems are social and economic which has nothing whatsoever to do with troops. 2) dear lord. blame initial spread on china and who. then what? having an ocean separating put the US in a slight better position than most o' europe where covid had spread earlier. we had a smaller problem and trump's impotence made worse. we had time and trump golfed. talk 'bout rambling. edit: shouldn't be necessary, but am gonna point out how marginalizing poll relevance 'cause 2016 is just so stoopid. in the decades o' polling, there has been a number o' years and races where the polls got it wrong. small number. the reasonable thing to do is to ignore the overwhelming trend o' accuracy and instead focus on one o' the exceptions to decide whether to put faith in future polls. wait. no. that makes no sense, does it. we tend to look for reasons why exceptions were different, but see the few exceptions as proof o' the fail o' the whole is nutty, particular as 2018 were so freaking accurate. and muslim ban. rambling? *chuckle* is forcing folks to recall trump's promise. explain and we promise not to respond 'cause whatever you say in defense o' the muslim ban will be far more damning than anything we could write. congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. and yeah, just as does due process and other fundamental rights, those liberties codified in the First Amendment apply to refugees, those seeking asylum and prospective immigrants. unfreakingamerican, and you voted for the guy. HA! Good Fun!

he is a democrat. therefore, as he has not repudiated sanders and the squad, he is normalizing the forces of chaos. you need to at least scan fox news headlines or you will not understand the current republican party line as it is devoid o' anything but trump. HA! Good Fun! ps we forgot to mention warren. can't hardly go an hour w/o apocalyptic warren sponsored legislation being predicted on fox business.

am not trying to convince you. in our job, we spent years empathizing with clients and juries. we don't need to do so on a freaking internet message board. is quite liberating. 1) the rioting is happening under trump. weird how trump folks blamed obama for ferguson and baltimore but instead blame mayors for portland. 2) willfully ignore every trump excess and shortcoming do not help your cause. covid-19 won't go away just 'cause you squint eyes, shake head and whistle with all your might to drown out tragedy. 3) keep ignoring 2018? say is different doesn't make it so. is differen't cause is more voter suppression this time? perhaps you suggest is different because trump is campaigning for himself he has less time to mess thing up for collins? might be a legit angle there, but not poll relevant, even with the qanon talking points. 4) muslim ban. you don't get to claim conscience and then ignore the muslim ban promise. am suspecting you know this, which is why your tone has changed. 5) muslim ban 6) muslim ban 7) muslim ban ... HA! Good Fun!

ok. where to start unpacking the hypocrisy... if chaos is a legit concern, there is no way you voted trump instead o' hillary. calling shenanigans. hillary was, for better or worse, establishment. she were the devil you know as 'posed to the one you woulda' known if you bothered to look a bit closer. hillary woulda' brought more bill clinton era nonsense, which we personal abhor, but is difficult to describe as chaotic. afeared o' chaos? have you not been paying attention to the last four years? trump did an end-around on Congress to fund a pointless border wall (the vast majority o' illegals is visa overstays, and the illegals who do come across the border overwhelming do so at points of entry... not to mention illegal immigration had been steadily decreasing for decades... until trump brought chaos to south america that is) with pentagon discretionary money meant for rebuilding crumbling levees and hurricane damaged military base housing and schools... and that were after he impotent shut down the government costing the country many billions o' dollars. the obstruction o' justice examples we could provide is now beyond counting, but am gonna once again single out how trump attempted to block the submission o' an IG report demanded by law. wtf? more recent he has sent fed troops to states w/o their approval and arrested protesters w/o charges or even probable cause. oh, and speaking o' chaos... social distanced and all wearing masks where unable to social distance, yes? @HoonDing gots you pegged. trump, in addition to the brazen hatch act violation, had a crowd o' folks not social distanced cheering his mendacity on the wh lawn. guy who suggested looking into bleach injection and internal illumination o' the human body to purge covid-19 infections advocated hydroxy w/o any real science to back him up, causing a shortage (chaos) for those patients who depend on the medication... patients particular vulnerable to diseases such as covid-19 btw. the President has public ridiculed and undercut the scientists on his own covid-19 task force, leading to confusion/chaos and he pretty much took a hands off approach to the virus after his early bs google website lies and the kushner led supply chain initiative imploded, leaving states to compete with each other for ppe and limited supplies... supplies which were more likely to come if a governor agreed to the wh demands that they public compliment the President. etc. not enough? we can go back to all the iran, north korea and china stories from the past near four years and examine how many times trump did a 180, or caught his own advisors complete off guard. our allies laugh at trump at parties while simultaneous express concern 'bout how unhinged he is. chaos. oh and am sympathizing with your mistake in believing trump were less skeevy than clinton... if you didn't bother to read stories or watch news or read the depositions where trump lied and lied and lied... but yeah, hillary were corrupt and near as big a liar as trump... but that were four years ago, yes? bring up hillary corruptness now is a transparent effort to convince yourself and not Gromnir. you gotta deal with the fact you voted for the pu$$y grab candidate who attacked gold star families, mocked the disabled, cheated on his wives, stole from charities, lied in depositions, defrauded trump U students and, God help us, promised a Muslim Ban. you voted for a candidate for President who advocated a Muslim Ban? muslim ban. two words which shoulda' prevented any American from voting for trump, particularly if they is persons o' conscience. muslim ban. you were tested. hillary were a terrible alternative, and so you were given a choice 'tween an agent o' chaos who told you what you wanted to hear, or a corrupt but predictable beltway insider. you invited chaos. you embraced chaos and you got no excuse 'cause you voted for the guy who promised a muslim ban. if muslim ban were not a red line for you, then we have no possibility for common ground. am genuine embarrassed that Americans elected trump. weren't the thousands o' lies. weren't the soullessness. weren't the ignorance o' the office o' the Presidency. we woulda' grumbled if trump were elected and he were nothing but a two-bit huckster who managed to con just enough gullible americans to not vote for hillary, but we wouldn't have been angry. muslim ban. shame. shame on us. shame on The US. you are worried 'bout the retribution the democrats may bring given all the perfidy trump has exacted 'pon this nation for near four years? after muslim ban, a part o' us believes we deserve whatever chaos follows. oh, and clarification: we criticized med dan for ignoring 2018 polls. keep pointing to Presidential 2016 while ignoring we were talking senate seats is suspect, particular as there were the 2018 national elections which took place after trump's election. conspiracy theory away on what you believe is the qanon purposes o' polls, but like it or not, they were accurate in 2018. same polls says senate republicans lose 3-4, with more too close to call. please recall, even senate split won't help trump 'cause we now know where romney stands.... romney, they guy whose character you impugned not so long ago. trump's reelection hinges on william barr. whatever bs scandal barr is cooking up, it needs be overwhelming. oh, and muslim ban. you do not get to avoid muslim ban. HA! Good Fun! ps side note on chaos, trump's muslim ban were so inept (chaotic) implemented that it were rejected multiple times by the Courts. what medicine dan ended up with is a ban which also prevents christian refugees fleeing religious persecution in many parts o' the world.

"snob" is a cut (buddy, am looking right at you in the mirror) but am not sure 'bout the other stuff. over-educated? scene from the tick animated series. Professor Chromedome: [screaming at the TV] Mung Mung, you oily little sellout! Wannabes, all of you! Spit-shining your prosthetic limbs and whitewashing your liver spots for this wretched, back-patting smarty-party! Chairface Chippendale: I take it you won't be attending. Professor Chromedome: The true mad scientist does not make public appearances! He does wear the 'Hello My Name is' badge! He strikes from below, like a viper! Or on high like a penny dropped from the tallest building around! He has only the one purpose! Do bad things to good people... MIT SCIENCE! from our pov, "over-educated" as a slight or critique is a 2020 shibboleth. HA! Good Fun! ps we has taken a shot at native californians more than once, but is rare serious as we love the granola munching and van wearing tree huggers as much as any o' God's children.
