    I would love to know who these imaginary people rushed into citizenship are.  The immigrants I know who became citizens all had to be here for well over a decade before they could become citizens.  But Trump and Slorch have invented a solution in search of an imaginary problem.

    Not that he cares, or will acknowledge, but this "rush" - from filing your naturalization for citizenship application to being sworn in at an oath ceremony - up to 2 years in some cases. And this is AFTER they do their 5 (work-based) or 3 (family-based) time as green card holders.

    Anyone wanting to be a citizen since Trump was elected - SO THE DEMS CAN MAKE GIVE THEM ALL THE RIGHT TO VOTE - won't even be able to vote until 2021 at the earliest.  Some of them will be lucky to be able to vote by 2022 midterms.

    Is anybody in the R party going to have the stones to primary this fucker?

    Jeff Flake!

    Oh wait no, he's going to wait until 2024 and swoop in to white-knight all the centrists and moderate Republicans back in the fold.

    He held a fucking Rally in TAMPA...  yes there are a lot of rural areas around Tampa, but let's not just pretend it's backwater towns only.   Plenty of straight up stupid/angry/racist white guys in the cities too.

    I see young teens/twenties white frat boy types rocking the maga hats...  insufferable douches everyone I've interacted with (not about politics)

    That's because they're all in on the hegemonic masculinity train.  When they can act "like men used to" - be the alpha, treat women like garbage, be the boss and make the rules.

    We've done a terrible job, period, of educating and raising young men of all colors in our society.  They're either virulently racist and full of toxic masculinity, in gangs or prison, or antisocial video game weirdos and end up shooting up schools.

    This never fails to amaze me. My wife knows I'm not a morning talker. I need time to wake up, drink coffee and read the paper. When she gets up early for whatever stupid reason, it's as if I've asked her to keep talking to me even when I don't reply or give her the tone. You'd think after years of marriage, that they would learn their partners habits.

    I think this a woman thing in general.  Who are the first people to seek out and chat with EVERYONE at the office at 8am?

    The women. Always the women.

  5. Seems a bad strategy: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/08/troy-balderson-franklin-county.html

    But Balderson might have found a way to outdo the president. During his final campaign stop on Monday night, Balderson told a crowd in Zanesville, Ohio, that they need to get out and vote tomorrow because “we don’t want someone from Franklin County representing us.”

    Balderson’s opponent, Democrat Danny O’Connor, is from Franklin County — but so are about a third of the district’s voters. The 12th District covers all of Delaware, Licking, and Morrow counties, along with parts of Franklin, Marion, Muskingum, and Richland counties.

    Franklin County makes up 1/3rd of the district and the previous Rep, Pat Tiberi, was from Franklin County.

  6. Also, the first thing you should have learned in a UT journalism class, assuming your tiny brain wasn't drenched in chlorine:

    In the Thirteen Colonies before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the media was subject to a series of regulations. British authorities attempted to prohibit the publication and circulation of information of which they did not approve.

    The First Amendment permits information, ideas and opinions without interference, constraint or prosecution by the government.[1][2] It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.

    There was one outside of Camp Lejeune, NC and growing up we’d pick up pizza from there once a month. I remember it as pretty damn good but haven’t had Little Caesar’s in almost two decades.

    I remember eating it a lot as a kid.  Quite a few in the burbs.

    Now? They all in the hood.
