Everyone outside the district think it was a trump referendum. Those inside have local issues and traditional political leanings which drive their votes. This was what I was thinking - I mean, wouldn't it be deeply shocking if a Democrat had taken a seat that hasn't voted blue in well over three decades. Anyone who is thinking "hurrr durrr, this proves people love Trump" is as deluded as the Democrats who believed it was a possibility they'd win the seat. Democrats need to reconnect with underemployed Americans who are employed but working at lower wages than before the last recession. trump was right on the money with his: "Last week was good for apprenticeships. President Trump’s ringing call for expanding apprenticeship at a White House ceremony on Thursday should be welcome to all who favor a cost-effective approach to upgrading skills, raising job quality and widening routes to rewarding careers. The president’s first steps to achieve this goal were signing an executive order titled “Expanding Apprenticeship in America” and nearly doubling the funding for apprenticeships to $200 million." http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/labor/338329-appreciating-apprenticeships-trump-plan-a-good-start Its fine to talk the Paris accord but in the polling booth when the rubber meets the road. Its all about meat and potatoes. Jobs,Jobs and more jobs. has been a mantra for politicians for centuries. The mistake trump made was it should have been $400 million to a couple billion. With carrots and sticks for companies and universities to force them into marriages of convenience to better service a changing labor market.

Russia says it will treat U.S.-led coalition planes in Syria as targets after U.S. downed Syrian jet BEIRUT — Russia’s defense ministry says it will treat U.S.-led coalition planes in Syria, west of the Euphrates River, as targets after the U.S. military shot down a Syrian Air Force jet on Sunday. http://www.nydailynews.com/newswires/news/world/russia-treat-us-led-coalition-planes-syria-targets-article-1.3259161 Meanwhile: Russia renewed six Trump trademarks for vodka, hotels and furniture last year including four on election day http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4616084/Russia-renewed-six-Trump-trademarks-year.html

It is done because Nugent constantly calls black people niggers, and called half black half white Obama a subhuman mongrel. Do you disagree that this is overt racism? If so, there's nothing more to say to you, enjoy your fantasy world. If not, is your argument that Nugent might not be a racist, he just plays one on tv? In that case, right back at ya - you don't personally know any of the liberals you're accusing of hate mongering, therefore you don't know that they mean it, therefore there's no problem. And yes, this really does sum everything up. You refuse to accept any reasonable criticism of Nugent because he is on the same side of the aisle as you. You pretend that calling an overt racist a racist is a political ploy because it fits your preconceived notion that all accusations of racism are purely politically motivated. You're blinded by partisanship and unable rationally address the issues you're ranting about. Are you sure he uses the N-word all the time? Or did you just here that from an un-named CNN source? I can say that I have seen him give more to wounded veterans with out any consideration for race, sex, religion, or sexual orientation than any other person I have seen. But I won't deny some of the inflammatory shit he has said either. There is a reason why psychologists have said it is unethical to give a diagnosis on a person from TV interviews and sound bites. I suggest you digest that for a while...

Paragraph 18 of the story.

""In the past 10 years when you look at murders committed by domestic extremists in the United States of all types, right-wing extremists are responsible for about 74 percent of those murders," Pitcavage says." From story.

Keeping this post short. Happy Fathers day! But yes, this right here sums up everything. You don't know him, but you label him a racist anyway. And this is done because he disagrees with Obama (rather strongly on a couple of subjects, I might add, and doesn't mince words about it...) But these racial politics are the core of left wing hate, and unless they can stop calling everyone that disagrees with them "racist" we're going to get more hate and violence. I'm sad to say it, but on the current course, civil war is inevitable..... Thanks Jakee!!!! You keep inserting race into the consideration of a political ideological attack. The shooter an older white man, his political support was for a older white man and most of the victims were white men. Continue with the fallacious stretches of ideology to justify a fantasy of the gun carrying survivalists. Who have never seen a government worth a cent in support.

Obama ordered a burger with mustard and a supposedly serious news show host dedicated an entire segment to slamming him over it. Trump more scrutinized? Sorry, don't see it. Was that scrutinization televised on primetime TV throughout the entire world on a daily basis? Obama wasn't a train wreck with tweets, lies and talk of policy changes in every aspect of foreign policy. Put McCain,Graham, McConnell or a dozen similar republicans in trumps shoes and the discussions would be back to budgets, burgers.

You can lead a ass to water but you can't make him drink.

IMO the shooter lost perspective on what democracies and accommodation to other political interests are about. I've said the same things here that the shooter did on facebook about trump. Be it left or right anything that trump does can be 1/2 undone next year and fully reversed in four. There are counties where so called democracies are but a veneer to cover real corruption. Quasi civil wars in regards to political pandering and institutionalized corruption. Pakistan being one, Russia another. The shooter is dead today. No civil war is going to start. The somewhat messy US political process is mulling and muddling ahead. Today trump is under investigation for obstruction of justice. There is a system and it mostly works. If the shooter had controlled himself. Stepped back from his views and obsessions he may have seen a light as early as...a month, a year, from now. Its important to allow those who think owning a gun is the only thing in life that matters. To think that a single cent paid to a central government is theft. That all should have cradle to grave everything from a government. To express themselves. To have consideration for their views, for their money and their liberties.

Ah! The knives are out.

Trump Sued for Foreign Business Profits by Democrats in Congress https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-06-14/nearly-200-democrats-to-sue-trump-over-foreign-business-dealings A group of almost 200 Democratic lawmakers filed a federal lawsuit challenging profits that President Donald Trump’s global businesses have taken in from foreign entities.

Asked if the country stood on sturdier ground under Obama's leadership, McCain said "yes," according to the report. McCain has seen many many presidents come and go.

Graham: Trump could 'go down' because he can't stay quiet Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday said President Trump could be the first commander in chief “to go down” over ongoing chaos in his administration, including his Twitter habit. http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/337302-graham-trump-could-go-down-because-of-chaos McCain says American leadership was better under Obama: report http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/337340-mccain-says-american-leadership-was-better-under-obama-report Don't take my word for it. Just last week, second-term Republican member of Congress Martha McSally acknowledged this fear. While at a closed door meeting with banking lobbyists that was secretly recorded, she was heard sharing the way constituents have been talking to her about Trump: "I'm, like, responsible for everything he does, and tweets and says." She then added a concern many of her fellow Republicans must be feeling: "Any Republican member of Congress, you are going down with the ship." http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/11/opinions/republicans-dump-trump-opinion-obeidallah/index.html

In December 2016, the World Economic Forum reported that as the cost of producing wind turbines has fallen by more than 30% in the last three years, the cost of electricity from wind power has fallen to $50 per megawatt hour on average worldwide, without subsidies. That’s half the cost of coal. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170606-the-largest-wind-farms-in-the-world-are-in-the-uk

To all those that say there is no smoking gun in trump's hand. How many times has trump been sued? How many days upon days has he been under oath in depositions testifying about his conduct and actions? How many days has this 70 year old man been sitting with lawyers going over testimony regarding all the legal matters he has been in? Think about it. Was anyone expecting a written presidential order to Comey to back off? Except for the bag licker Ryan "Paul Ryan’s Excuse for Trump: He’s ‘Just New to This’ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/06/paul-ryans-excuse-for-trump-hes-just-new-to-this.html Sure trump is just a babe in the woods to lying, bullying and the whole function of the justice system.

That lawyer must at least be worth some of what I'm sure he's charging the president, as I'd be willing to bet he confiscated POTUS' phone during the testimony, and possibly tied him to a chair. That would have been the only way to keep him from tweeting -- short of asking him, "does this rag smell like chloroform?" Wait....wait...they will be coming.

Are you suggesting the trump/kushner gang, which is involved in using the law where you can't indict a sitting president. Isn't using that position for self enrichment, business self promotion and obstruction of the disclosures of those actions?

I have obtained an exclusive copy of the plan from a WH informant.

Hawaii law aligns state with Paris climate pact A new law in Hawaii formally aligns the state with the greenhouse gas reduction goals of the Paris climate change agreement. Gov. David Ige (D) signed the law in a Tuesday ceremony, saying Hawaii is the first state to put its commitments to Paris into legislation and pass it. “Hawai‘i is committed to environmental stewardship, and we look forward to working with other states to fight global climate change. Together, we can directly contribute to the global agenda of achieving a more resilient and sustainable island Earth,” Ige said in a statement. http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/336742-hawaii-law-aligns-state-with-paris-climate-pact

Can't wait for the trump post Comey tweet summary. Comey is a liar, never said that,etc., etc. On one side Comey, no mention of any history of lying. On the other hand trump who has a mental aversion to the truth. The trump budget....history.... in the dustbin of trump's scandals.
