Now, looking at reality:

Today, another bipartisan bill to provide greater election security was stopped by a single Republican who couldn't come up with a reason for doing so. The other Republican who previously blocked it is Mitch McConnell who says it's up to the states to secure their own elections, federal or otherwise. As if the state of Louisiana has the wherewithal to stand up to the hacking efforts of the Russian government. Yeah, riight...

Venus under such conditions looks like a spot light from a police copter and you'll spend your time hoping the earth's rotation might somehow speed up a bit so it sets sooner. 
It doesn't have to be prehistoric but it has to be pristine...

What did they win, you ask? Trump won the right to raid the Pentagon's budget for billions to build his border wall. Obviously, the Pentagon had other ideas for its funding but now it goes to a wall. And here I thought Mexico was supposed to pay for the wall. Where'd I'd get an idea like that...

Darian, did you hear that Michael Moore is begging Michelle Obama to get into the race?  Do you think she will?

....Melania and I send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the great people of Texas.

I am so f'ing sick of everyones thoughts and prayers. Maybe Moscow Mitch will do his job and get already passed house legislation on background checks that he is blocking to the floor of the senate. Maybe he should do something to protect our elections while he's at it.
