Chico, your perseverance to keep arguing, while simultaneously never being too offended at the responses is pretty damn impressive.

I admit it's very trump like.

I grew up in a household with my dad, rush Limbaugh listening-loud GOPer. My Mom...a Clinton-style Democrat...she actually briefly worked for the Democratic Party.

They would argue, but alway love.

Have nothing but love for my brothers. I am sure I could even tolerate having a beer with G-1

Now? It's setting records for 90 degrees in May and 70 degree off-and-on days in January. And we're lucky if we see one good snowfall a year.



Don't tell me the climate is doing fine. Stick your mouth on a tailpipe and tell me the quality of the air coming out is good to go.

Good article if you are open to it. Written by Steve Koonan, President Obama’s former Energy Department undersecretary for science.

Cheers - it's all love in here. We can fight all day about politics but come football Sunday we're all in the same boat.

I thought this was pretty unbelievable

Former federal ethics chief blasts Ted Cruz's message to 'woke' corporations as 'openly corrupt'

Cruz basically thought he was owning the libs here, but totally owned himself instead.

Gerrymandering has gotta be one of the most underreported evils of our time. When one party can redraw districts to ensure they remain in power the citizens have already lost.

I find it ironic the majority of states that have embraced the independent redistricting commissions that ensure gerrymandering is free from bias also happen to be Democratic controlled states.

You don't have to go to NC, just look at Maryland.



I support non-partisan or if need be bi-partisan commissions to remove all gerrymandered districts. It is antithetical to our republic's health.

Agreed.

Definitely would grab some crabs too G-1!

CRed-It has always bothered me how bad the district lines look in Maryland. Why does a large county like PG have only two reps but Baltimore City with 300,000 less people have three? Carroll county has two but comparable in size Harford county only has one. Of course the county that holds the state capital has four congressional reps have to make sure they are overrepresented in congress. It is pretty frusterating.

[SunnySide]

Balt City may have lost a rep and one of their reps is a hybrid city/balt county area .... i think this is right, didnt look it up

35 States have gerrymandering .. 2 are democrat.

Just a matter of time .. democrat numbers just increase, republicans flat line and are older and becoming more and more localized.
