Lizzie and her tin ear. She will scare the voters more than Hillary. But let’s recall....I was wrong about Obama - TWICE. So, what do I know.

I feel exactly the same way you do. "What do I knoe"

I think Cruz’s stock goes up the most over this.

Politics is like physics: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Burge just framed it perfectly on Twitter: This isn't about legalizing Latin American immigrants, it's about legalizing Latin American-style government.

We were wondering how your end of the state made out. Still is a lot of snow this early in the winter: Morelike what you’d see fall about mid-February around Cupidity Day on the 14th.

they will always believe the King over the pubs— and the king and dems will say the pubs shut it down.

The cupidity of some business owners on the Republican side has only added to our immigration woes. The stupidity of the democrats has also done so.

Warren is saying all the buzz words of the lower class - wages, evil rich white people, etc - you’ve seen some of that going around I’m sure. the rich white woman is pretending to be one of the “people”

That is because the media only shows the King saying we are to blame.

I saw where the buffalo bills were offering $10 an hour for folks to come help them clear snow from the stadium. Looked like a daunting task!

It was a futile effort, they are going to play the game in Detroit.

There are many reports of assistance offered by folks from outside the area, both in their official capacities as well as personally ... It’s all really appreciated!

Oh - was it originally scheduled for home or did I completely misunderstand?

The Jets were scheduled to play at Buffalo this week. The Bills were trying to get the stadium cleared, but the NFL has moved the game to Ford Field in Detroit.

There was no way they could hold a game there this week. Even if they cleared the field and the seats, they would need to clear all of the parking lots, too.

I saw on the news last night a firm in Pittsburgh is sending up their snow-melting “dragon” truck.
