1. Democratic 'Leadership' in Colorado Volunteers To Be Insignificant
Democratic legislature in Colorado just cut off its nose to spite its face ... because Hillary lost. They decided all future presidential candidates should be relieved of the burden of having to ask their vote.
2. Using stats from 2016 presidential election, each Coloradan's vote was worth 1 in 2.7 million (that's how many votes were cast in Colorado). Had this change been in place, each Coloradan's vote would have been only worth 1 in 137 million (total votes cast in the nation).
3. So Democratic leaders in Colorado decided to make each Coloradan's vote in a presidential election now matter one-fiftieth (1/50th) as much as before. Congratulations, Coloradans! You didn't elect these Democrats for nothing. Nobody works harder to disenfranchise you!
The End.

1. Truth About Partial-Birth Abortion
While there is a federal ban on it, the legal definition of partial-birth is so loose, it is practically unenforceable. Its main purpose is to express a societal consensus that it is not condoned. Extreme cases are already handled in private.
2. Polls over the last 20 years have consistently shown over 80% opposition to third-trimester abortion, let alone partial-birth abortion. That includes men and women, and that includes pro-choice women too.
3. The societal consensus is clear. So what made the Democratic legislature and Democratic governor in Virginia to make a bill for unfettered abortion, even at the point of birth, a high priority? Even people like me who presume no evil intent are shaking our heads.

You know what the real tragedy is. That this will be perceived as a pure infomercial and will have no impact whatsoever. You know why? Because Washington Post has prostituted itself with such crass and blatant partisanship for so long, that few trust them to tell the truth.
It shouldn't need a docudrama to raise awareness about a simple and straightforward issue like this, @MaxBoot. There was a time a simple news article in WaPo or NY Times laying this out would have raised hell. Now who gives a crap what WaPo or NYT says about Trump. You did this.
WaPo debasing journalism by launching a jihad against an election outcome it didn't like and crying wolf every day to further its own political agenda has its consequences. It rendered you utterly impotent. Congratulations on self-inflicted vasectomy, @washingtonpost.

Yes, opioid addiction is a national public health emergency. That's why President Trump is so focused on the problem.

You should inform, not inflame. The 'big pharmaceutical companies' you refer to are in China.

If you knew, this tweet is highly irresponsible.

More on the China connection to our opioid crisis.
A reminder of President Trump's leadership on the opioid crisis.

Even the moderator seemed wholly clueless about the history of tax rates in this country. HOW THE HELL can you moderate a panel like this and expect to have an honest, frank economic discussion you want to be taken seriously and NOT know these things? It boggles the mind. Truly.
She really tried to laugh off the ECONOMIST on stage with "lol, yeah for a brief time in the 80s".

Like... Actually NO. The greatest economic growth in this country happened post WWII when we consistently taxed THE FUCK out of extreme income/wealth. This is FACT.
But their fortunes depend on ignoring, down playing and "forgetting" this pesky little truth. The truth is that this country has been in economic decline ever since we stopped taxing the rich to redistribute amongst the masses in terms of govt spending.

lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2019/01/bettin… In the early days of the Obama administration, when the Tea Party rose up, I regularly said on my blog that they were not actually “small government conservatives”, but racists.
My argument was simple: Conservatives were hyper-focused on the possibility that Obamacare was going to make health care access easier for people of color to get. And they were freaked out about the idea that hospitals and their doctor’s office might become racially integrated.
These are folks, I argued, that will cut off their nose to spite their face. They would live in a mud pile so long as they felt people of color were living in a shit pile. They would give up affordable health care just to make sure people of color didn’t get it.

This is true. I feel more hopeful this morning. We all need our lists priorized and ready. What do you want Congress to fix and what is the timeline / process? Let's make it easy for them by all of us being volunteer staffers....
There are a lot of legitimate immigration issues and there are xommunities that either struggle or rely on immigrants that are waybout of balance and will need focused, local help. But first: get those detention centers shut all the way down and get those kids some psych care.
If we do not, we will not be able to say, pearls clutched, "where were they radicalized?"

I see a bunch of whining and complaining about weak-kneed Republicans on Twitter tonight. The sunshine patriots seem to be out in force. There’s rumblings about not voting for Republicans in November. So, you want to cut off your nose to spite your face? How childish.
How stupid. How completely out of touch with reality. We are in a fight for the soul of America. We can’t afford the luxury of being angry at the Republicans who we wish had more steel in their spines. You let the Dems take over in November, and you can kiss your ass goodbye.
And your kids. And your grandkids. And everybody you love. Now how stupid is that? Please don’t tell me your surprised. You KNEW what these people were long before now. You’ve known for years they’re a bunch of weak-willed pussies that collapse at the first sign of trouble.

1) A word about Security Clearances - The way that Clearances work at the highest levels of our Government is that when you have folks that retire or are replaced by a new Administration? You WANT those folks to retain their security clearances.
2) The situation we're in is a VERY unique situation. Usually at high levels in the Government, if you have a spy or traitor, it's only a single person or at most a network of under 5. Leaking secret info is very difficult to do.
3) In the situation we're in now we've got over 500 leakers in a Network that was purposely built by the highest levels of our Government. It's a completely different situation than the way our Government usually works concerning security clearances.

1/ Very insightful analysis by Frank Buckley, @brianleecrowley and Sean Speer on NAFTA negotiations.

“Remember, 20% of our economy depends on exports to the United States and less than 2% of their economy depends on exports to us. We can’t afford to get this wrong.”
@brianleecrowley 2/ Trump admin “isn’t going to be moved by ‘retaliatory’ measures. Enacting matching tariffs will harm Canadian businesses and consumers and escalate tensions with the U.S. government. It seems just as likely that Mr. Trump is emboldened by retaliation rather than dissuaded.”
3/ “The result would be an escalation of protectionism and higher costs for businesses and workers that would harm us far more than our neighbours. Cutting off your nose to spite your face is poor policy, however satisfying it may feel.”
