We need so much more of this! Humor gets under these people's skin because they don't know how to respond to anything other than victimization and vindictiveness.

He is only one of four states held by Republican governors who didn't send troops. The others are from the Northeast, which has a very different political culture.

It's hard to say this in Oklahoma. So, I give credit where it is due (even if I likely don't agree with him on anything else).

Next National Governors Association meeting is going to be toxic.

Also, isn't this international waters? Perhaps I am mistaken, but the whole world should be offended, technically.

There have been missing bodies from cruise ships that have elicited more outrage.

"As a Republican," you knew what you were signing up for.

What's it been? Since 2012 when GOP has campaigned against Obamacare? It's been over 13 years. That is an exceptionally slow learning curve.

You signed up for this with your vote and ingrained party identification.

Witness the circular logic of judges weighing in on protests against agents that should not be where they are, so that more agents can keep coming to where they should not be, thus exacerbating further protest.

Let us forge an alternative reality together.

Really? They're blaming us Jews now in some sort of insinuated libel?

These guys are the absolute worst and I cannot believe how people don't see it.

Like anyone ever asks Abbott if he needs the 40% of Texans that are Democrats to win the governorship.

That is why electoral reform is so necessary. The run-off primaries in CA are actually pretty decent and we will see if she needed them or not when it comes to the top two run-off.

Gotta Crack and Pack with maximum efficiency, especially since courts all but gutted civil rights franchise guarantees years ago.

Also, very true.

But we shan't forget, in the end, that it's also because of well-off suburbanites who are part of the GOP coalition that we find ourselves where we are today.

I find it hard to believe with FOX infotainment and every religious pulpit in the country that conservatives have not built up a successful culture machine.

It is just such a behemoth it cannot pivot. So humor, satire, and expressions of genuine rebellion and self-reflection are beyond them.

My sister and I live right next to this house and it's been abandoned for years. I don't understand why the owners haven't just sold the land already and called it a day. It's dreadful and clearly there is no sign of future plans to fix it up.

I see. You guys are putting Denverites to shame, and we're not too shabby ourselves.

I've got beachfront property to sell you in Kansas.

Bernie did this when he first ran for mayor of Burlington. He received the police union endorsement by pretty much treating them like other unions: as labor.

"In addition, an international "Board of Peace," chaired by Trump, would supervise the committee and oversee the reconstruction of Gaza."

Oh c'mon now. Trump towers will line the 'valuable waterside property.'

Jared Kushner says Gaza’s ‘waterfront property could be very valuable’
Donald Trump’s son-in-law also says Israel should bulldoze an area of the Negev desert and move Palestinians there

Just remember, his second win wasn't some glitch of the electoral system. He won the popular vote, and with the second highest numbers in recent history.

The country wants this, which is rather frightening.

All of this is sadly true.

Although I don't really see Bibi halting his activities. Perhaps, I am the only one this utterly jaded.
