It's heart breaking that Americans have gotten used to our cities looking like this.
Looks like a Snellen eye chart
Murdoch is giving Ayles the option of stepping down or being fired after reading the sexual harassment complaint. Thread just posted.
Red, white, or blue elevator? Smurfette is looking for the blue elevator.
Thanks
Just so FReepers understand.... What Cruz was fighting for was closed primaries. He wanted more delegates for states that have closed primaries.
In any event, that's a shortsighted & silly idea as it locks out independents. It also does nothing about people who purposely register in a different party than they vote.
If anything, states that allow independents are a better predictor of national appeal.
I can see some sort of mechanism to prevent an "operation chaos" type situation (e.g. Democratic nomination is already decided), but Cruz's idea just empowers the establishment even more and makes the party tone-deaf to the general electorate.
Not just Romney, the entire Republican establishment, most of the so called "conservative" media (Beck, Levin, Kristol, etc.) . The "mighty" Bush family, McCain, Ryan, a majority of the sixteen candidates that were running against him and hundreds of Congressmen and Senators. In the end Trump brushed them all aside like a swarm of gnats on a summer day. That is why I personally think that Trump will crush Hillary without breaking a sweat, he has been massively underestimated all along and he still is being.
Who is the singer up now?
Fox News is showing protesters outside of their assigned area, climbing over barriers at the convention site.
Fearing Convention violence CLEVELAND POLICE UNION calls for Open-Carry Ban! Kasich will not comply!
Another noted Lebanese American was Danny Thomas (Amos Muzyad Yakhoob Kairouz), who started the St Jude Children's Research Hospital for critically ill children, now fronted by his daughter Marlo Thomas.
Roll call tomorrow. Usually Wednesday.
When “boy wonder” Kucinich took it to the dumper back in the late 70s, I headed for the exit.
I could do without the yelping of this “band”. To me, they add nothing to the convention.
Awww! I remember those years (through a haze)...
My C-Span on cable is great....
It's because of what Trump has been saying -- industry and manufacturing has left the country. People who couldl least afford to bounce back were clustered around where the jobs once were. Now look.
The band isn’t for you, it so the delegates can work of calories dancing in the aisles.
Ben Carson and Trump first met with their work with Thomas and St. JUDE
Eric Trumps philantropics is mainly for chikdren at St JUDE
