I worry about this, because prior to Trump, there were skinhead type gangs that called themselves Antifa. That was real.

I share your frustration.

Yes the warm air melting the snow that is causing the floods more than the rain.

He runs a drug company.
But yeah he's obviously never dealt with normal insurance.

They sound very bomb-able.

I'm not so sure assassination of Putin would improve things.
But I do feel like we need some kind of offramp for these dictators who get in too deep and death of the only way out.

Island for misfit boys?
Something

Not much rain today, but flooding and river levels still seem higher in Puyallup.

His other complaints, 1)seeing a primary doctor before seeing a specialist
