I took that one for a spin around the block, writing my representatives for when the opportunities open up and to which lands, because I wanted Half Dome & Yellowstone.

I no sooner had penned my letters that RW hunting & fishing groups saw the tragedy effecting them too. They too made a stink about it and the whole bad idea just died.

Chavez shouldn't be allowed to live that one down. What a stooge!

They're destroying our public education system while trying to privatize education for the wealthier white families.

Arrrgh! The Democratic Party is completely against it!

but, but, but Booker is in bed with Big Pharma, but, but Harris backed some law that was supported 80% of California Democrats and the law hurt two people, but, but any Democrat is no different.

We already see the false flag attacks on Gillibrand, even though she has been a warrior on sexual assault for years. It does not matter, the No Difference crowd will find a reason to bash our leading Democrats with false claims.
