And this is why I am supposed to go rah-rah for the GOP. For a party where the establishment wants to do pro-choice lite.

All you who still think the Republican Party is your savior need to wake up to reality. They are the ones who along with their good friends across the aisle are bending you over and telling you shut up and do as your told.

The fact is, this country needs a legitimate opposition movement. And the GOP ain’t it!

Just a point to that:

This FBI facility will be larger than the Pentagon. Why?
I would argue it is an indicator of where DC's priorities and focus lie. And ain't good for us outside of DC.

The massive J. Edgar Hoover Building in DC isn’t even 50 years old.

Moving some government agencies outside DC — far outside DC — might make some sense, but moving it up the road to Maryland just means the bureau will have less oversight from Congress and the public.

At the time it was completed, the J. Edgar Hoover building was reported to have 2.4 million square feet (220,000 m2) to 2.535 million square feet (235,500 m2) of interior space, of which 1 million square feet (93,000 m2) were usable office space. According to more current information provided by the FBI, the building contained 2,800,876 square feet (260,209.9 m2) of interior space in 2010. Its internal amenities included:

An amphitheater
A 162-seat auditorium
An automobile repair shop
A two-story basketball court

You can’t vote your way out of this mess.

That's pretty much how I view it, too, but I'm also sure that the RINOs would be thrilled if non-RINOs dropped out of the GOP. The GOP is a dead party walking (barely).

“ One representative on this list, Kay Granger from Texas, has announced that she will not run for reelection. So she can go full bore Deep State in the 13 months left on her term.”

Padding the ole post-Congress income stream. When they move away from the public trough they always want to make sure the money bags are full.

McCormick is the biggest GA RINO out there. I think we were better off with the Democrat Boudreaux we had for 2 years. He has to be primaried.

That was how they got tricked into voting for it. That and the messages to vote for it for their own good.

I want the hideous art installation contract. I can make a formless scrap-metal sculpture for no more than $1.5 million.

I like the idea of the $300 headquarters. It could be a UPS Store box in Beltsville.
