@realdonaldtrump: "Wasserman states despite obvious tabulation error, Lamb has won. DISGRACEFUL!"

I've seen far more photos of Saccone than I can count this past week and only just now did I notice he has a mustache.

Yeah, don't we have to wait for the GOP to wildly attempt to redefine what constitutes a "legal" vote? I mean, there were stories of Republicans not registered or registered in different districts that weren't allowed to vote!

Meanwhile, this is how you do it:

LONDON — Britain ordered the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats believed involved in espionage-related activities, British Prime Minister announced Wednesday in the first wave of measures against Moscow for the nerve gas attack against a former double agent.

May, speaking to Parliament, also outlines a range of other steps, including a halt to high-level meetings with Russian officials and the halting a planned visit to Britain by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

May repeated British conclusions of Russian links to the nerve agent used in the attack — targeting the former spy and his daughter — and called Russia’s defiance response has “demonstrated complete disdain for the gravity of these events.”

“Instead they have treated the use of a military garde nerve agent in Europe with sarcasm, contempt and defiance,” she told lawmakers while announcing the reprisal measures.

She gave no further details on the Russian diplomats ordered expelled, but said there were deemed “undeclared intelligence officers.”

The President is cool with it too so we're all good

Election in Pennsylvania? What election in Pennsylvania?

Hundreds of good people, including very important Ambassadors and Judges, are being blocked and/or slow walked by the Democrats in the Senate. Many important positions in Government are unfilled because of this obstruction. Worst in U.S. history!

Perhaps at no time in history have the business fundamentals of U.S. companies been better than they are today!

What kind of weirdo un-American name is 'Kobach' anyway? He should flag himself just to be on the safe side.

Sure, he ran as a non-Trump Republican.

And then why didn't Saccone try that?

Frederik B, Wednesday, 14 March 2018 15:03 (six years ago) link

Because he "was Trump before Trump was Trump".

neutral yogurt (doo dah), Wednesday, 14 March 2018 15:04 (six years ago) link

Because he was busy being more trump than trump

xposts, lol. You have to admit it was a catchy slogan for saccone.

McCabe is scheduled to retire on Sunday. This smacks of a petty, cruel effort to deny him his pension after 21 years of service to his country. https://t.co/4omLShxFIf

btw re yesterday's econ move

“President Trump and his administration made the right decision on blocking Broadcom from taking over Qualcomm,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor.

“We all know that China has been rapacious about trade and very smart. They look for places where they can steal our best technology,” Schumer added.

RAPACIOUS! Heavens! Imagine if the USA ever engaged in rapacity.
