into the toilet could be bigger than people think if even Darrell Issa in ORANGE FREAKING COUNTY is in trouble:

"There are growing signs that veteran Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, could be headed for an election dogfight.

Issa has breezed to re-election seven times since taking office in 2001, but the landscape is different this time.

His support for Donald Trump could undermine this year’s bid. The Republican edge in his two-county district’s voter registration is shrinking. And his Democratic opponent’s background as a Marine colonel holds particular appeal in a district that includes and surrounds Camp Pendleton."

Most Trump supporters will find themselves screwed by Trump while most Clinton supporters as well as Trump supporters will do better under Clinton:

I've been reading some about Obama's refusal to veto the UN Resolution condemning Israeli settlements (since 1968) in the Jewish heart of East Jerusalem and the West Bank. My initial support lies with pundits like Alan Dershowitz, who argue that this is a really big failure to support an ally.

I'm curious what Rod thinks of course, since he generally supports the Obama administration but is very pro-Israel as well. I'm curious what a lot of you think, since this is not a subject I've studied that much.

So, according to some CNN is waaaaaay over there in its bias and, according to others, FoxNews is waaaaay over in the other direction in its bias.

Most people here, left and right, will assume a story is false simply because of the source.

So, let me ask, in all innocence, where do you get your news? What do you feel is an unbiased, give-both-sides news source?

Still awaiting word from Trump's general counsel. I hope they nail his ass, don't you?...

Before you read it, consider:
1. Is she pulling back from an alternate universe?
2. Is Fox News sympathetic to her?
3. Is Fox News, news?
4. Is she feigning remorse?(about Bowling Green?)
5. Is she a bit overdone on her make-up?
