She may as well kick out the jams, because she's already toast.

A score is 20, so are they trying to make it look like a lot when it was probably a hundred?

Climate-change! Able to morph into a new ice age or melting ice caps on a dime, and give you eight cents’ change! Climate change! Available at campaign stops near you!

Anyway, the other day, one of my band mates, who pulls down a decent middle management salary in his day job, says on FB: “Last year I got a refund, this year I owe $1300 on the same exact salary. Thanks a lot Republicans.” This leads to a flood of responses of people also claiming to be middle class earners paying more taxes after Trump’s tax cut. Then came the “tax experts” explaining how the loss of various deductions made Trump’s tax reform a tax cut only for the very wealthy, at the expense of the middle class. Then there were comments about what a shame it was that Republicans were too ignorant and uneducated to see through what Trump was doing to us. Every once and a while a brave Republican would try to cut through the anecdotal “evidence”, or point out a logical fallacy, or warn against making generalizations, or delve into the nuances of economic incentives, statistical analysis, individual liberty, fake news, or whatever. These Republicans were easily dispatched and made fools of by the articulate left - partly because they were so far outnumbered, but also because of the 2nd law of thermodynamics: the fact that the truth is often more complicated than a lie, more difficult to explain or defend than a lie, because a lie can be as simple and elegant and clever as you want it to be. Anyway, I wish Leftists were all ignorant and weak, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. ---

Anyhow, I believe here you are making my point for me. I believe most young people (under 30) are very ignorant thinkers and worse voters. I am not saying that "leftists were all ignorant and weak".

Where do you think all this enthusiasm for "socialism" is coming from? The numbers are obscene.

You point out that "the brave Republican" steps forward and tries to set people straight. Unfortunately there are nearly none of them left out there influencing the majority of the simple thinking voters in schools and in the media.

I see the morons and the very deeply lying left media winning right now. Numbers don't lie.

I also wanted to add:

It will be interesting to see the two get togethers in El Paso tonight.

I wonder how many illegals and others will be bussed in for the 'Pancho' O'Rourke show.

I saw the lines outside DJT's place a couple hours ago. They looked great.

I hope the President does well tonight.

I loved the MC5.

:^) One of the MC5 was still gigging not that many years ago, used to know people (well, some thugs) who knew them from childhood.

Kick out the jams!
