Whoops, mea culpa; mixed him up with Schumer.
Makes a bit more sense now. This is what I get for posting at 6am.

It’s okay. It’s quite easy to mix up all our milquetoast white dudes who run our glorious nation.

Schumer is at least keeping the appearance of backing the progressive populists in the party, and he’s one of the most aggressive in the media about Russia and the election.
But there are indeed a long list of Democrats it could have been. Franken’s success in the senate is hated by many.

Georgia-USA in the news.
Georgia Republicans do not even pretend to have a legitimate reason for this gerrymander. Indeed, they haven’t really attempted to explain why the bill is necessary at all. The timing is very strange—redistricting typically occurs after each decade’s census—and the purpose is obvious: to bolster Republicans’ electoral advantage by removing black voters from their districts and replacing them with whites.

They’re pissed because the democrats are slowly taking over all the metro area - which of obvious the most economically powerful part of the state. The current race for Price’s old seat (6th district, north Fulton, Forsyth, etc), a former republican stronghold, might very well swing to a democrat, who is running just a tick ahead of the other 18 candidates.

The WH is making plans to either invade NK or engage in nuclear escalation - just a little side note.

Jeebus do they know that you do not poke that hornets nest with anything.
Fuck the nuclear weapons from what I understand they have enough conventional artillery with range to really damage Seoul in short order.

The current admin. is a group of poorly educated amateurs with minimal curiosity and naive black-and-white models of the world who hold expert opinion in contempt and alienate and denigrate professional administration resources that could reliably inform them. What could possibly go wrong?

One of the reasons there is a North Korea in the first place is because Truman didn’t want to provoke China into a war. Last year Bannon had said he was certain there would be war with China. It should only be expected that his administration is too damnably stupid and selfish to not escalate trouble there.

Except China increasingly sees NK as an unstable liability. They only give them support to keep the flow of refugees to a minimum.

Until now, the last time the mention of ICBMs made me feel dread was in the 60s. JHC.
