See the thing to remember is those people is that what they accuse the other side of doing, just blind ideology.

It's just a variation of the Goebbel's playbook, which the Trump administration loves to follow - "accuse the other side of the thing you yourself are guilty of".

- Try to rig the upcoming election while yelling loudly about how the other party consistenly cheats - and without evidence, of course.
- Make up stories about how crooked the Dems are, while actively grifting yourself.

Regardless, it's nice to see Congress occasionally showing signs of having a spine, finally. It'd be great if they'd also figure out that the revenge dismantlement of NCAR is also going to cost money and lives.

Also, does anyone else remember Trump making up some BS about Iran promising some really nice gift to him? I think the odds are high Trump screws this up, even if the negotiators land on agreeable common terms between now and Friday.

... and it feels like a forum for greying people whose greying friends haven't bothered to move on either, or to get the date of the next annual meeting of the bridge club.

That's not entirely fair. I know quite a few young people who... maintain their Facebook accounts so they can talk to their grandparents.

Yeah, I was gonna say... regardless of my personal dislike for the wireless wiretap law, it lapsing will be more of a problem for the next president - the current one wants his briefings to focus on news clips that mention him.
