Since so much of trumps base are ignorant uneducated dolts....this probably does not bother them....oh well, more fake cuts!!!!!
Nearly half of all middle-class families would pay more in taxes in 2026 than they would under current rules if the proposed House tax bill became law, and about one-third would pay more in 2018, according to a New York Times analysis, a striking finding for a bill promoted as a middle-class tax cut.
President Trump and congressional Republicans have pitched the plan unveiled last week as a tax cut for most Americans. But millions of middle-class families — particularly those with children — would see an immediate tax increase, averaging about $2,000. Among the hardest-hit under the plan would be some of the most vulnerable taxpayers: those with huge out-of-pocket medical expenses.
By 2026, 45 percent of middle-class families would pay more than what they would under the existing tax system.
The preliminary Times analysis found that, in 2018, the plan would cut taxes for about 68 percent of families in the middle class, broadly defined as those earning between two-thirds and twice the median household income, or between about $50,000 and $160,000 per year for a family of three. For
Thanks man. Congratulations on working for a local candidate. I would probably oppose the candidate. But that's how it works..
Politics Trump adviser sent email describing ‘private conversation’ with Russian official
WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 02: Carter Page, former foreign policy adviser for the Trump campaign, speaks to the media after testifying before the House Intelligence Committee on Nov. 2 in Washington. (Mark Wilson/Getty Images) By Rosalind S. Helderman, Matt Zapotosky and Karoun Demirjian November 6 at 10:43 PM Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to President Trump’s campaign whose visit to Moscow during the election has drawn scrutiny, sent an email to fellow Trump aides during his trip describing “a private conversation” with a senior Russian official who spoke favorably of the Republican candidate, according to records released late Monday by congressional investigators.
Page also wrote that he had been provided “incredible insights and outreach” by Russian lawmakers and “senior members” of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s administration during the trip.
The email appeared to contradict earlier statements by Page, who had said he had only exchanged brief greetings with the senior Russian official, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, after he delivered a speech at a Russian university.
In his July 2016 note, Page wrote that Dvorkovich had “expressed strong support for Mr. Trump and a desire to work together toward devising better solutions in response to a vast range of current international problems.”
Page’s email was read aloud by Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) when Page met behind closed doors last week with the House Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 president election. The committee released the transcript of the seven-hour session late Monday.
Confronted with his email, Page told the committee that he had not meant that he met with any officials but rather that he had learned of their views about the U.S. election from local media and scholars. He maintained that his interaction with Dvorkovich consisted of a brief greeting, and that he had learned his views on the campaign while listening to Dvorkovich’s public address. Page told the committee that he had not worked with the Russians to hack emails or otherwise influence the election.
In a statement Monday, Schiff said that Page had failed to produce the email to the committee before his interview, despite receiving a subpoena for documents.
Page is one of a number of Trump associates whose contacts with Russians before the election are emerging as important factors in investigations by Congress and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

No Nine members of the campaign, transition and administration have had contact with the Russians. Every single one of them,earlier have made sworn statements, but later, oh...
BTW, my older sister is in a nursing home, with dementia. It's just terrible. She knows me when I call. And she sounds pretty normal. But then she asked me about our parents. They both died in the 1990s. We are ten years apart. She's the only victim of dementia in the family.
The elections today are in many states, are strongly influenced by the President's support, or the reverse.
In Virginia, the polls show a tight race. If the Democrats show up in numbers close to those in the general election year, we will see a large margin contrary to the polls.
This will be perhaps, an indication of the off year election next year.
Alky you live in an outdated shack. The home is not owned by you. CA open public record system is very good. Really been fun for me to look around in it.
Which brings us (finally) to Virginia. There seems to be little doubt that this race is narrowing in the final days, although there is disagreement among pollsters as to just how much. The RealClearPolitics Average currently has Ralph Northam up by 2.8 points over Ed Gillespie. But that’s where the Margie margin comes in. Some of this variability we see isn’t due to sampling effects; it is due to pollster assumptions about what the electorate looks like. Put differently, Quinnipiac doesn’t consistently find double-digit Northam leads due to random chance; it is because of how the pollster is viewing the electorate. We can’t really put odds on Quinnipiac being right in the way we can calculate probabilities for sampling error. It’ll either be right, or it won’t.
Which is a roundabout way of saying: Northam has a lead. Without any clear knowledge about what the electorate will look like on Tuesday, that’s still probably your best bet. But just keep in mind that this is well within the Margie margin, and pollster choices are probably the difference between the expressed result, a narrow Gillespie win, or a surprisingly comfortable Northam win.
_____
Sticking my neck out again, I'm predicting a relatively strong win by Ed Gillespie. Trump is going to have a strong positive on the Democratic electorate and fire up the Democrats.
"Texas shooter allowed to buy weapons after Air Force failed to flag him
WASHINGTON — The Air Force failed to flag Devin Kelley as banned from buying the weapons he used to kill 26 people and wound 20 more worshipers at a South Texas church on Sunday, the Air Force acknowledged late Monday."
He actually seems to have changed his mind again.. But it might be the right thing to do. But let's hope he doesn't get mad and tweet about Rocket Man..
President Trump didn’t threaten to unleash “fire and fury” or to “totally destroy” North Korea. He didn’t needle Kim Jong Un by calling him “little rocket man.”
Instead, at a news conference in South Korea’s capital Tuesday within range of North Korean artillery, Trump spoke in unusually measured tones and called on North Korea’s ruler to “come to the table and make a deal” to give up its growing nuclear weapons arsenal.
Trump delivered threats as well, calmly listing the firepower the U.S. currently has pointed at the Korean Peninsula, including three carrier strike groups and a nearby nuclear submarine — as well as “many things happening that we hope, we hope — in fact, I'll go a step further, we hope to God we never have to use.”
“I do see certain movement, yes,” Trump said at the joint news conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. “But let's see what happens.”
He offered no specifics, noting that his administration likes "to play our cards a little bit close to the vest."
Trump’s call for a deal came five weeks after he publicly dismissed the possibility of diplomacy with North Korea, saying on Twitter that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was “wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man.”
I think that we should have extreme vetting for gun purchases.
If it saves any lives, it would be successful.
It would not effect the millions of legitimate gun owners.
If I ever decide to purchase a rifle and go back to the range and see if I could be a dead shot again. I would pass an extreme vetting without a doubt.
Blogger Loretta said... Go fill out an application to purchase a gun.
We have extreme vetting.
The Air Force screwed up. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

alky the "dead shot' asshat tries and fails once again to pass himself off as an "expert" on something.

When machine guns were outlawed, they pretty well disappeared. Why? Because simply possessing one, in a home or in the trunk of a car, could get a criminal SERIOUS prison time.
Very, very few people have been killed by machine guns since they became illegal for ordinary citizens to own. _______________
Why don't we have a constitutional right to bear machine guns? Because they are too deadly.

A mother in the church covered her children, three girls and a boy, with her body trying to save them. She and two of the girls were killed and the boy was shot five times by the assault rifle-wielding shooter.
But let's be sure to leave assault rifles on the protected list, so the gun industry can continue to make their huge profits and contribute money to the GOP.
Ruhle’s description as “assault-type rifle” isn’t completely inaccurate as the weapons are semi- a AR-15 variant called a Ruger-556 — the number being a reference to the 5.56x45mm NATO round the rifle shoots. While these guns are typically referred to as modern sporting rifles (MSRs), Ruhle’s description as “assault-type rifle” isn’t completely inaccurate as the weapons are semi-automatic versions of their military counterparts.
If you were facing down the barrel of one, Wp, I get you'd think it was an assault rifle.
But in the interest of utter accuracy:

Not only did the Air Force fail to comply with gun laws, but the Democrats actually filibustered legislation that he sponsored that would have forced them to comply with the law which might have prevented this massacre from happening.
It’s especially frustrating when, as Cruz points out, that Kelley had both a domestic violence conviction as well as a 12-month sentence that would have prevented Academy from selling him that Ruger in 2016.
Sorry you vicious people get so upset and use all kinds of atrocious language and put words in other people's mouths and call names and make baseless charges. But I forgive you. You can't help it.
But really, how sad, sad, sad was and is that shoot up in that tiny little church, and who knows, there might have been less deaths if semi-automatic weapons were not so readily available. They should have been outlawed long ago the way machine guns were. But it will keep on happening until finally Republicans do what any rational person can see needs to be done.
“My donors are basically saying, ‘Get it done or don’t ever call me again.'” — Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY), quoted by Vox, on the Republican tax reform bill.
Can't wait to hear the trump spin on thE VA. loss....I bet he'll debase it like manafort papa et al....not a big deal, they weren't important.....and the vice finally starts to close since it appears a larger win than was expected in the polls....that is the message....good.
The turnout was greet and is going to be seen by many, not only political geeks but mom and dad will see that Trump is dividing the country and they don't like that.
Fear Strikes Out: Dems Beat Back Race-Baiting To Win Crucial Virginia Gubernatorial Race.
FAIRFAX, VA. — Democrat Ralph Northam has won the Virginia governor’s race, scoring the first big electoral victory of the Donald Trump era by defeating a candidate who ran hard on Trump-like culture war issues.
Northam, Virginia’s lieutenant governor, led former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie by 51 percent to 48 percent with 48 percent of precincts reporting — more of them in GOP territory. Northam’s lead is expected to grow. The Associated Press has called the race.
The win is a huge psychic boost for Democrats who heading into election day had grown nervous that a rough final week might have given Gillespie a chance — and suggests that his hardline racially charged ads on Hispanic gang violence, sanctuary cities and Confederate monuments had blown up in his face.
The potentially big margin caught even Northam’s allies by surprise — many had expected a narrow win of three to four points and were still trickling into his election night party at George Mason University. When NBC called the race, many rushed into the room whooping.

We have to see if the Democrats can duplicate this turnout, in the future. They out number the Republicans IF they get their shit together, and Trump is a gift for the Democrats. As long as they don't blow it, they will take back the Senate and the house.
I turned on Fox News, and the story was on a Clinton issue, nnt a danb word on Virginia. The percentages in counties in VA that got more votes for the Democrat than Clinton got in 2016. And they are getting close on the hose of delegates in VA.
Democrats are doing extremely well in the Virginia House of Delegates. Republicans had a 66-34 advantage going in, but the Democrats look like they will be in the majority next year.
Indy we both know that projecting a year or so in advance. But I do see the Democrats are getting more together. Especially seeing how the GOP is in a civil war, with the alt-right and the establishment. Trump isn't a Republican, we all know that.
One thing I feel pretty sure about is that Trump won't change, so unless there is some unpredictable event, that the Democrats are getting more motivated, and the President will remain very unpopular. That could lead to the takeover of the Senate for sure, and the house is within reach, much more than it was even nine months ago.
The Democrat holding seat has little if any influence. The Northram campaign was anti Trump, and the Republican tried to get the Trump vote,but a lot of them are regretting that vote.
HB, Democrats are very close to winning a majority in the VA House of Delegates TONIGHT, not a year from now. They're already projected to gain 10 seats in called races, and if they hold on to their current leads they will gain 17 seats for a 51-49 majority.
Trump was scheduled to speak in front of the South Korean assembly, half an hour ago. He's revising the speech and they are waiting. Here he goes.. OMG>
If you were facing down the barrel of one, Wp, I bet you'd think it was an assault rifle.
We happen to have an AR-15, and it's not particularly intimidating as opposed to a shotgun for instance. It probably depends on how afraid you are of guns in the first place. It is a weapon designed for civilian use, not military, and is not an automatic. Therefore, not an assault rifle.
You can shoot 556 ammo in an AR-15 btw, if you're dumb enough.

The election yesterday, was a total repudiation of President Trump.
"Pushback against Donald Trump helped lift Democrats to governorships in the two highest-profile U.S. elections since the 2016 presidential contest. In Virginia, voters by a 2-1 margin said they were casting their ballot to show opposition to Trump rather than support for him. In New Jersey the margin was nearly 3-1. And Trump’s weak approval rating among voters in Virginia, 40 percent, was weaker still in New Jersey, a dismal 34 percent.
Relatedly, a surge in turnout by politically liberal voters boosted Virginia Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, as did a broad advantage on health care, which voters by a wide margin identified as the top issue in the vote."
We are seeing the first wave of a tsunami, that will sweep across the country. The President has become the symbol of the Republican party. His record low in the polls dragged the Republicans into the swamp.
The turnout was at general election numbers. The women voters stood in line, in the rain account northern Virginia. The suburbs that supported Trump in 2016, overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic candidates.
Some people are going say that this is just the terrible campaign by the Republicans, but it strongly suggested that the President was the reason why the Republicans were devastated. An emotional response to the President is what we saw. And it's not going away.
Pus wiped out a 32 seat majority....won all 3 state tickets....saw the Nassau County executive, which is a heavily R position lost to a D....The idiot in chief's crass schilling of his golf club on the world stage shows he just is playing a game....what a douche as his 30% base gets more marginalized by the day......9% trump loss!!!!! Hugely important...... 34% VA Voters stated it was a vote against trump......Even had a transgender win yesterday, which makes the goat farmers head explode like menstrals......LOL !!!
I watched the President. He was almost totally incoherent. He delayed the speech by an hour to make revisions, and the result was horrible. He praised the Koreans golf players. That speech will be used against Republicans. We face a nuclear war and he talked about golf.
Assembly Speaker Chung, distinguished members of this assembly, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the extraordinary privilege to speak in this great chamber, and to address your people on behalf of the great people of the United States of America.
In our short time in your country, Melania and I have been awed by its ancient, modern wonders, and we are deeply moved by the warmth of your welcome. Last night, President and Mrs. Moon showed us incredible hospitality in a beautiful reception at the Blue House. We had productive discussions on increasing military cooperation and improving the trade relationship between our nations on the principle of fairness and reciprocity.
Through this entire visit, it has been both our pleasure and our honor to create and celebrate a long friendship between the United States and the Republic of Korea.
This alliance between our nations was forged in the crucible of war and strengthened by the trials of history. From the Inchon landings to Pork Chop Hill, American and South Korean soldiers have fought together, sacrificed together, and triumphed together.
Almost 67 years ago, in the spring of 1951, they recaptured what remained of this city, where we are gathered so proudly today. It was the second time in a year that our combined forces took on steep casualties to retake this capital from the Communists.
Over the next weeks and months, the men soldiered through steep mountains and bloody, bloody battles. Driven back at times, they willed their way north to form the line that today divides the oppressed and the free. And there, American and South Korean troops have remained together holding that line for nearly seven decades.
Have you looked at the voting patterns in districts that had supported Trump in the election, that went strongly for the Democrats, including the legislation?
— The world was watching as President Trump stepped to the microphone in the heart of South Korea’s National Assembly to deliver a high-stakes speech to rally fellow leaders against North Korea. What better time for the president to talk about ... his New Jersey golf course?
Not long after he began his remarks, broadcast live on television feeds from Tokyo to Seoul to Washington, Trump took a moment to praise South Korea on the nation’s remarkable economic rise after the Korean War six decades ago. In doing so, he talked about the people’s prowess in engineering, technology, medicine, music and education.
Then he got to golf. “Korean golfers are some of the best on Earth,” he said, drawing applause. Waiting a beat, he smiled and added: “And you know what I’m going to say — the women’s U.S. Open was held this year at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.”
The president continued to note that Sung Hyun Park, a South Korean, won the tournament and seven more of her compatriots finished in the top 10.
Over the next weeks and months, the men soldiered through steep mountains and bloody, bloody battles. Driven back at times, they willed their way north to form the line that today divides the oppressed and the free. And there, American and South Korean troops have remained together holding that line for nearly seven decades.
By the time the armistice was signed in 1953, more than 36,000 Americans had died in the Korean War, with more than 100,000 others very badly wounded. They are heroes, and we honor them. We also honor and remember the terrible price the people of your country paid for their freedom. You lost hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers and countless innocent civilians in that gruesome war.
Much of this great city of Seoul was reduced to rubble. Large portions of the country were scarred severely, severely hurt by this horrible war. The economy of this nation was demolished.
But as the entire world knows, over the next two generations, something miraculous happened on the southern half of this peninsula. Family by family, city by city, the people of South Korea built this country into what is today one of the great nations of the world. And I congratulate you.
In less than one lifetime, South Korea climbed from total devastation to among the wealthiest nations on Earth. Today your economy is more than 350 times larger than what it was in 1960. Trade has increased 1,900 times. Life expectancy has risen from just 53 years to more than 82 years today.
Nothing new there...BTW Roger....commie is the moniker loretta gave me and I embrace it....Opie..... Hope she is having a day she so richly deserves....LOL!!
Off topic again, Syria has signed onto the Paris Climate agreement which leaves the Trump and the USA the only UN nation not participating.....seems to me that is just stupid, but his base like menstral and CH think it is just fine.....See VA results....LOLOL
Politico: “This one was for Donald Trump. Exit polls revealed an unmistakable anti-Trump backlash Tuesday, as Democrats won resounding victories in governors races in Virginia and New Jersey. Majorities of voters in both states disapproved of the job Trump is doing as president, with significant numbers of voters in each state saying Trump was a reason for their vote. And far more of those voters said they made their choice to oppose Trump than to support him.
“What is unusual about Tuesday night is the extent to which the two races were about Trump. And the stark results cast fresh doubt on the health of Republican majorities in the House and Senate, in addition to gubernatorial races in next year’s midterm elections.”
Mike Allen: “Top Republicans were stunned by the severity of the shellacking, and worry that it will endanger both tax reform and the House majority.”
Politico: “Jubilant Democrats struck a defiant tone after sweeping victories across the country on Tuesday night, led by Democrat Ralph Northam’s surprise pummeling of Republican Ed Gillespie in Virginia’s gubernatorial race. Surveying their first electoral sweep in half a decade after a soul-crushing 2016 campaign and a desultory start to the Donald Trump era, Democratic leaders reset their expectations for the 2018 midterms.
“They’re now expecting a fundraising and candidate recruitment surge, powered by grass-roots fury at the Trump administration. While most Democrats stopped short of predicting the party will take the House next year, they noted in Gillespie the failure of a candidate who tried balancing between Trump-style populism and establishment Republicanism.”
New York Times: “Lessons from off-year elections can be overdrawn, but the Virginia race strongly suggests that Republicans running in swing states will have to choose a side rather than try to straddle an uncomfortable line. Mr. Trump’s blunt force, all-or-nothing approach has worked in deeply conservative areas, but Republicans will have trouble replicating that in certain states in the midterms next year when faced with a diverse, highly educated electorate like the one in Virginia.”
"Over the next weeks and months, the men soldiered through steep mountains and bloody, bloody battles. Driven back at times, they willed their way north to form the line that today divides the oppressed and the free. And there, American and South Korean troops have remained together holding that line for nearly seven decades"
the despicable "pastor" charges me with posting shit that he obviously posted himself. He has a small bit of "pastor" and faith in him so he avoids swearing on God's name it was not him. But despite him saying he "knows" it was me we both really know it was him. As dies everyone here.
"Racist messages written on a whiteboard at the Air Force Academy in September that made national news and inspired an impassioned speech from a lieutenant general were written by a student supposedly victimized by the messages."
So why should we have a constitutional right to bear semi-automatic rifles?
Because they are effective self-defense weapons.
We do not need weapons to shoot down fighter jets or military tanks, nor those which can indiscriminately injure or kill large groups of people. That may be what you mean by "too deadly", but if so the AR-15 and other semi-auto rifles are not deadly in that sense.
I am not responding from the standpoint of a philosophical antipathy respective of reasonable control of deadly weapons. However, I will reflexively oppose an argument which is an emotional appeal based on imagery conjured by false associations and this is one such. It is not only morally wrong to deceive people in that fashion but counterproductive as a persuasive argument - and if it ever does succeed to any extent, the gains if any will always be at risk.
It works best, in the long run, to be honest with people.
Wp, if machine guns being made illegal led to a situation in which very few deaths by machine guns resulted, why wouldn't the same be true for weapons that come close to being machine guns (and can be made even more so with bump stocks)?
What is "emotional" about pointing out that if we do not allow our citizenry to legally arm themselves with machine guns, bazookas, flame throwers, grenade launchers, or surface to air launchers, why should we not want our citizenry armed with weapons that are nearly as deadly as machine guns?
And again I say, if you were that mother in that church trying to protect her four little children by covering them with her own body, you might find yourself wishing that weapons like the one the assailant was using had been banned. Nor would you draw too fine a distinction between whether the assailant was using an "assault rifle" or merely a semi-automatic rifle.
But I guess that puts the matter in a way that you find too "emotional."
So we see that the ASSHOLE "rev james boswell" doesn't dispute that he in fact posted the despicable lie about the host and then accused me of so doing. Then he calls for this to stop.

Since so much of trumps base are ignorant uneducated dolts....this probably does not bother them....oh well, more fake cuts!!!!!
Nearly half of all middle-class families would pay more in taxes in 2026 than they would under current rules if the proposed House tax bill became law, and about one-third would pay more in 2018, according to a New York Times analysis, a striking finding for a bill promoted as a middle-class tax cut.
President Trump and congressional Republicans have pitched the plan unveiled last week as a tax cut for most Americans. But millions of middle-class families — particularly those with children — would see an immediate tax increase, averaging about $2,000. Among the hardest-hit under the plan would be some of the most vulnerable taxpayers: those with huge out-of-pocket medical expenses.
By 2026, 45 percent of middle-class families would pay more than what they would under the existing tax system.
The preliminary Times analysis found that, in 2018, the plan would cut taxes for about 68 percent of families in the middle class, broadly defined as those earning between two-thirds and twice the median household income, or between about $50,000 and $160,000 per year for a family of three. For

Trump adviser sent email describing ‘private conversation’ with Russian official
WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 02: Carter Page, former foreign policy adviser for the Trump campaign, speaks to the media after testifying before the House Intelligence Committee on Nov. 2 in Washington. (Mark Wilson/Getty Images)
By Rosalind S. Helderman, Matt Zapotosky and Karoun Demirjian November 6 at 10:43 PM
Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to President Trump’s campaign whose visit to Moscow during the election has drawn scrutiny, sent an email to fellow Trump aides during his trip describing “a private conversation” with a senior Russian official who spoke favorably of the Republican candidate, according to records released late Monday by congressional investigators.
Page also wrote that he had been provided “incredible insights and outreach” by Russian lawmakers and “senior members” of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s administration during the trip.
The email appeared to contradict earlier statements by Page, who had said he had only exchanged brief greetings with the senior Russian official, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, after he delivered a speech at a Russian university.
In his July 2016 note, Page wrote that Dvorkovich had “expressed strong support for Mr. Trump and a desire to work together toward devising better solutions in response to a vast range of current international problems.”
Page’s email was read aloud by Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) when Page met behind closed doors last week with the House Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 president election. The committee released the transcript of the seven-hour session late Monday.
Confronted with his email, Page told the committee that he had not meant that he met with any officials but rather that he had learned of their views about the U.S. election from local media and scholars. He maintained that his interaction with Dvorkovich consisted of a brief greeting, and that he had learned his views on the campaign while listening to Dvorkovich’s public address. Page told the committee that he had not worked with the Russians to hack emails or otherwise influence the election.
In a statement Monday, Schiff said that Page had failed to produce the email to the committee before his interview, despite receiving a subpoena for documents.
Page is one of a number of Trump associates whose contacts with Russians before the election are emerging as important factors in investigations by Congress and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

Nine members of the campaign, transition and administration have had contact with the Russians. Every single one of them,earlier have made sworn statements, but later, oh...

The elections today are in many states, are strongly influenced by the President's support, or the reverse.
In Virginia, the polls show a tight race. If the Democrats show up in numbers close to those in the general election year, we will see a large margin contrary to the polls.
This will be perhaps, an indication of the off year election next year.

Sean Trend, who used to contribute here, has comments on Virginia.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2017/11/06/va_governor_race_is_within_the_margie_margin_135456.html
Which brings us (finally) to Virginia. There seems to be little doubt that this race is narrowing in the final days, although there is disagreement among pollsters as to just how much. The RealClearPolitics Average currently has Ralph Northam up by 2.8 points over Ed Gillespie. But that’s where the Margie margin comes in. Some of this variability we see isn’t due to sampling effects; it is due to pollster assumptions about what the electorate looks like. Put differently, Quinnipiac doesn’t consistently find double-digit Northam leads due to random chance; it is because of how the pollster is viewing the electorate. We can’t really put odds on Quinnipiac being right in the way we can calculate probabilities for sampling error. It’ll either be right, or it won’t.
Which is a roundabout way of saying: Northam has a lead. Without any clear knowledge about what the electorate will look like on Tuesday, that’s still probably your best bet. But just keep in mind that this is well within the Margie margin, and pollster choices are probably the difference between the expressed result, a narrow Gillespie win, or a surprisingly comfortable Northam win.

Sticking my neck out again, I'm predicting a relatively strong win by Ed Gillespie. Trump is going to have a strong positive on the Democratic electorate and fire up the Democrats.

"Texas shooter allowed to buy weapons after Air Force failed to flag him
WASHINGTON — The Air Force failed to flag Devin Kelley as banned from buying the weapons he used to kill 26 people and wound 20 more worshipers at a South Texas church on Sunday, the Air Force acknowledged late Monday."
"It's working"
That's what liberals tell us.
He actually seems to have changed his mind again.. But it might be the right thing to do. But let's hope he doesn't get mad and tweet about Rocket Man..
President Trump didn’t threaten to unleash “fire and fury” or to “totally destroy” North Korea. He didn’t needle Kim Jong Un by calling him “little rocket man.”
Instead, at a news conference in South Korea’s capital Tuesday within range of North Korean artillery, Trump spoke in unusually measured tones and called on North Korea’s ruler to “come to the table and make a deal” to give up its growing nuclear weapons arsenal.
Trump delivered threats as well, calmly listing the firepower the U.S. currently has pointed at the Korean Peninsula, including three carrier strike groups and a nearby nuclear submarine — as well as “many things happening that we hope, we hope — in fact, I'll go a step further, we hope to God we never have to use.”
“I do see certain movement, yes,” Trump said at the joint news conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. “But let's see what happens.”
He offered no specifics, noting that his administration likes "to play our cards a little bit close to the vest."
Trump’s call for a deal came five weeks after he publicly dismissed the possibility of diplomacy with North Korea, saying on Twitter that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was “wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man.”

Ruger AR15, of which the AR 556 is a variant, is not an assault rifle.
But it looks scary
Ruhle’s description as “assault-type rifle” isn’t completely inaccurate as the weapons are semi- a AR-15 variant called a Ruger-556 — the number being a reference to the 5.56x45mm NATO round the rifle shoots. While these guns are typically referred to as modern sporting rifles (MSRs), Ruhle’s description as “assault-type rifle” isn’t completely inaccurate as the weapons are semi-automatic versions of their military counterparts.
If you were facing down the barrel of one, Wp, I get you'd think it was an assault rifle.
But in the interest of utter accuracy:

Not only did the Air Force fail to comply with gun laws, but the Democrats actually filibustered legislation that he sponsored that would have forced them to comply with the law which might have prevented this massacre from happening.

Fear Strikes Out: Dems Beat Back Race-Baiting To Win Crucial Virginia Gubernatorial Race.
FAIRFAX, VA. — Democrat Ralph Northam has won the Virginia governor’s race, scoring the first big electoral victory of the Donald Trump era by defeating a candidate who ran hard on Trump-like culture war issues.
Northam, Virginia’s lieutenant governor, led former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie by 51 percent to 48 percent with 48 percent of precincts reporting — more of them in GOP territory. Northam’s lead is expected to grow. The Associated Press has called the race.
The win is a huge psychic boost for Democrats who heading into election day had grown nervous that a rough final week might have given Gillespie a chance — and suggests that his hardline racially charged ads on Hispanic gang violence, sanctuary cities and Confederate monuments had blown up in his face.
The potentially big margin caught even Northam’s allies by surprise — many had expected a narrow win of three to four points and were still trickling into his election night party at George Mason University. When NBC called the race, many rushed into the room whooping.
<<<
We have to see if the Democrats can duplicate this turnout, in the future. They out number the Republicans IF they get their shit together, and Trump is a gift for the Democrats. As long as they don't blow it, they will take back the Senate and the house.
I turned on Fox News, and the story was on a Clinton issue, nnt a danb word on Virginia. The percentages in counties in VA that got more votes for the Democrat than Clinton got in 2016. And they are getting close on the hose of delegates in VA.
Indy..
R.I.P. Roy Halladay.
I saw some of the campaign ads, run by outside sources and the Republicans, and they were ugly and racist.
Democrats are doing extremely well in the Virginia House of Delegates. Republicans had a 66-34 advantage going in, but the Democrats look like they will be in the majority next year.
The margin is not at almost 8%
So you see a Yuge win by keeping a seat.
Lordie.
You booked your " Yell helplessly at the Sky" time and location?
Got Safe Space.
Indy we both know that projecting a year or so in advance. But I do see the Democrats are getting more together. Especially seeing how the GOP is in a civil war, with the alt-right and the establishment. Trump isn't a Republican, we all know that.
One thing I feel pretty sure about is that Trump won't change, so unless there is some unpredictable event, that the Democrats are getting more motivated, and the President will remain very unpopular. That could lead to the takeover of the Senate for sure, and the house is within reach, much more than it was even nine months ago.
Indy, nope, full on leftist yep.
Be honest, do a make over , do the name change.
This is the largest margin since 1988.
The Democrat holding seat has little if any influence. The Northram campaign was anti Trump, and the Republican tried to get the Trump vote,but a lot of them are regretting that vote.
HB, Democrats are very close to winning a majority in the VA House of Delegates TONIGHT, not a year from now. They're already projected to gain 10 seats in called races, and if they hold on to their current leads they will gain 17 seats for a 51-49 majority.
Trump was scheduled to speak in front of the South Korean assembly, half an hour ago. He's revising the speech and they are waiting. Here he goes.. OMG>
I don't like this speech. It's a war threat.
Looks like control of the House of Delegates will come down to recounts in about five races.
Indy, nope, full on leftist yep.
Be honest, do a make over , do the name change.
Wait, wait, wait. This election matters.
You two are funny, stupid asses.
Does this mean you two accept ALL 2016 Election results.

If you were facing down the barrel of one, Wp, I bet you'd think it was an assault rifle.
We happen to have an AR-15, and it's not particularly intimidating as opposed to a shotgun for instance. It probably depends on how afraid you are of guns in the first place. It is a weapon designed for civilian use, not military, and is not an automatic. Therefore, not an assault rifle.
You can shoot 556 ammo in an AR-15 btw, if you're dumb enough.
So the state that elected a slime ball like mccauliffe elected another dem over an establishment republican. Is anyone really surprised?
Democrats turned out their voters big time. (Negative Ads, no matter how despicable, really do work).
With the northern Virginian counties dominating the state electorate I think it's safe to say Virginia is no longer a toss up state.
It's solidly blue for the foreseeable future.
Fear Strikes Out:
Actually no. The LVF ad was nothing but a racist fear-mongering ad and it very likely drove Democrat turnout.

The election yesterday, was a total repudiation of President Trump.
"Pushback against Donald Trump helped lift Democrats to governorships in the two highest-profile U.S. elections since the 2016 presidential contest. In Virginia, voters by a 2-1 margin said they were casting their ballot to show opposition to Trump rather than support for him. In New Jersey the margin was nearly 3-1. And Trump’s weak approval rating among voters in Virginia, 40 percent, was weaker still in New Jersey, a dismal 34 percent.
Relatedly, a surge in turnout by politically liberal voters boosted Virginia Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, as did a broad advantage on health care, which voters by a wide margin identified as the top issue in the vote."

We are seeing the first wave of a tsunami, that will sweep across the country. The President has become the symbol of the Republican party. His record low in the polls dragged the Republicans into the swamp.
The turnout was at general election numbers. The women voters stood in line, in the rain account northern Virginia. The suburbs that supported Trump in 2016, overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic candidates.
Some people are going say that this is just the terrible campaign by the Republicans, but it strongly suggested that the President was the reason why the Republicans were devastated. An emotional response to the President is what we saw. And it's not going away.

Assembly Speaker Chung, distinguished members of this assembly, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the extraordinary privilege to speak in this great chamber, and to address your people on behalf of the great people of the United States of America.
In our short time in your country, Melania and I have been awed by its ancient, modern wonders, and we are deeply moved by the warmth of your welcome. Last night, President and Mrs. Moon showed us incredible hospitality in a beautiful reception at the Blue House. We had productive discussions on increasing military cooperation and improving the trade relationship between our nations on the principle of fairness and reciprocity.
Through this entire visit, it has been both our pleasure and our honor to create and celebrate a long friendship between the United States and the Republic of Korea.
This alliance between our nations was forged in the crucible of war and strengthened by the trials of history. From the Inchon landings to Pork Chop Hill, American and South Korean soldiers have fought together, sacrificed together, and triumphed together.
Almost 67 years ago, in the spring of 1951, they recaptured what remained of this city, where we are gathered so proudly today. It was the second time in a year that our combined forces took on steep casualties to retake this capital from the Communists.
Over the next weeks and months, the men soldiered through steep mountains and bloody, bloody battles. Driven back at times, they willed their way north to form the line that today divides the oppressed and the free. And there, American and South Korean troops have remained together holding that line for nearly seven decades.
Do you have anything other than childish insults?
Have you looked at the voting patterns in districts that had supported Trump in the election, that went strongly for the Democrats, including the legislation?

Hey Roger....have you noticed the silence of our R lambs???? I for one am enjoying this!!!!
— The world was watching as President Trump stepped to the microphone in the heart of South Korea’s National Assembly to deliver a high-stakes speech to rally fellow leaders against North Korea. What better time for the president to talk about ... his New Jersey golf course?
Not long after he began his remarks, broadcast live on television feeds from Tokyo to Seoul to Washington, Trump took a moment to praise South Korea on the nation’s remarkable economic rise after the Korean War six decades ago. In doing so, he talked about the people’s prowess in engineering, technology, medicine, music and education.
Then he got to golf. “Korean golfers are some of the best on Earth,” he said, drawing applause. Waiting a beat, he smiled and added: “And you know what I’m going to say — the women’s U.S. Open was held this year at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.”
The president continued to note that Sung Hyun Park, a South Korean, won the tournament and seven more of her compatriots finished in the top 10.

Over the next weeks and months, the men soldiered through steep mountains and bloody, bloody battles. Driven back at times, they willed their way north to form the line that today divides the oppressed and the free. And there, American and South Korean troops have remained together holding that line for nearly seven decades.
By the time the armistice was signed in 1953, more than 36,000 Americans had died in the Korean War, with more than 100,000 others very badly wounded. They are heroes, and we honor them. We also honor and remember the terrible price the people of your country paid for their freedom. You lost hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers and countless innocent civilians in that gruesome war.
Much of this great city of Seoul was reduced to rubble. Large portions of the country were scarred severely, severely hurt by this horrible war. The economy of this nation was demolished.
But as the entire world knows, over the next two generations, something miraculous happened on the southern half of this peninsula. Family by family, city by city, the people of South Korea built this country into what is today one of the great nations of the world. And I congratulate you.
In less than one lifetime, South Korea climbed from total devastation to among the wealthiest nations on Earth. Today your economy is more than 350 times larger than what it was in 1960. Trade has increased 1,900 times. Life expectancy has risen from just 53 years to more than 82 years today.
James, yes I have been noticing that. All they have are the insults. The numbers are blowing up their heads.
They are waiting for our esteemed host, will do an analysis that shows that the Republicans didn't really lose.
The Democrats erased the 32 vote majority in the state legislature.
..
All they have are the insults
Nothing new there...BTW Roger....commie is the moniker loretta gave me and I embrace it....Opie..... Hope she is having a day she so richly deserves....LOL!!
Chariot's a-coming.
Wave is a-coming.
Off topic again, Syria has signed onto the Paris Climate agreement which leaves the Trump and the USA the only UN nation not participating.....seems to me that is just stupid, but his base like menstral and CH think it is just fine.....See VA results....LOLOL
One year ago, what happened?

Voters Send a Message to Trump
November 8, 2017
Politico: “This one was for Donald Trump. Exit polls revealed an unmistakable anti-Trump backlash Tuesday, as Democrats won resounding victories in governors races in Virginia and New Jersey. Majorities of voters in both states disapproved of the job Trump is doing as president, with significant numbers of voters in each state saying Trump was a reason for their vote. And far more of those voters said they made their choice to oppose Trump than to support him.
“What is unusual about Tuesday night is the extent to which the two races were about Trump. And the stark results cast fresh doubt on the health of Republican majorities in the House and Senate, in addition to gubernatorial races in next year’s midterm elections.”
Mike Allen: “Top Republicans were stunned by the severity of the shellacking, and worry that it will endanger both tax reform and the House majority.”
Spam by the pedo
Oh God! We’ve lost the republican bastions of New Jersey and Virginia!
All has failed, the race of man is doomed, the Orcs will overrun Minas Tirith!
Democrats Euphoric After Election Romp
Politico: “Jubilant Democrats struck a defiant tone after sweeping victories across the country on Tuesday night, led by Democrat Ralph Northam’s surprise pummeling of Republican Ed Gillespie in Virginia’s gubernatorial race. Surveying their first electoral sweep in half a decade after a soul-crushing 2016 campaign and a desultory start to the Donald Trump era, Democratic leaders reset their expectations for the 2018 midterms.
“They’re now expecting a fundraising and candidate recruitment surge, powered by grass-roots fury at the Trump administration. While most Democrats stopped short of predicting the party will take the House next year, they noted in Gillespie the failure of a candidate who tried balancing between Trump-style populism and establishment Republicanism.”
Trumpism Without Trump Fails Badly
New York Times: “Lessons from off-year elections can be overdrawn, but the Virginia race strongly suggests that Republicans running in swing states will have to choose a side rather than try to straddle an uncomfortable line. Mr. Trump’s blunt force, all-or-nothing approach has worked in deeply conservative areas, but Republicans will have trouble replicating that in certain states in the midterms next year when faced with a diverse, highly educated electorate like the one in Virginia.”
Nothing but spam from the pedophile.
LOL Nothing but nothing from you.
Pretty strong tasting spam, eh?

Excellent speech by President Trump
Pedophile.
Roger hated it.
"Election romp"
That is what the left is saying about last night.
Ok.
I will take this time last year.
"Roger hated it."
Of course.
Roger hates this country.
ROFLMFAO !!!
the despicable "pastor" charges me with posting shit that he obviously posted himself. He has a small bit of "pastor" and faith in him so he avoids swearing on God's name it was not him. But despite him saying he "knows" it was me we both really know it was him. As dies everyone here.
False accusations, Lies, continuing bad behavior.
The Rev James Boswell is on the highway to hell.
Hopefully he doesn't take anyone else with him.
"Racist messages written on a whiteboard at the Air Force Academy in September that made national news and inspired an impassioned speech from a lieutenant general were written by a student supposedly victimized by the messages."
more behavior like the "pastor"
So why should we have a constitutional right to bear semi-automatic rifles?
Because they are effective self-defense weapons.
We do not need weapons to shoot down fighter jets or military tanks, nor those which can indiscriminately injure or kill large groups of people. That may be what you mean by "too deadly", but if so the AR-15 and other semi-auto rifles are not deadly in that sense.
I am not responding from the standpoint of a philosophical antipathy respective of reasonable control of deadly weapons. However, I will reflexively oppose an argument which is an emotional appeal based on imagery conjured by false associations and this is one such. It is not only morally wrong to deceive people in that fashion but counterproductive as a persuasive argument - and if it ever does succeed to any extent, the gains if any will always be at risk.
It works best, in the long run, to be honest with people.
Wp, if machine guns being made illegal led to a situation in which very few deaths by machine guns resulted, why wouldn't the same be true for weapons that come close to being machine guns (and can be made even more so with bump stocks)?
What is "emotional" about pointing out that if we do not allow our citizenry to legally arm themselves with machine guns, bazookas, flame throwers, grenade launchers, or surface to air launchers, why should we not want our citizenry armed with weapons that are nearly as deadly as machine guns?
And again I say, if you were that mother in that church trying to protect her four little children by covering them with her own body, you might find yourself wishing that weapons like the one the assailant was using had been banned. Nor would you draw too fine a distinction between whether the assailant was using an "assault rifle" or merely a semi-automatic rifle.
But I guess that puts the matter in a way that you find too "emotional."
So we see that the ASSHOLE "rev james boswell" doesn't dispute that he in fact posted the despicable lie about the host and then accused me of so doing. Then he calls for this to stop.
What an outrageous act by a piece of shit "pastor"
A decent human being would be shamed by his actions. NOT THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE.
ROAST IN HELL MOTHERFUCKER
Many years ago when machine guns were outlawed, they pretty well disappeared. Why? Why did criminals stop using them?
Simply because merely POSSESSING one, in a home or in the trunk of a car, could cause a criminal to do SERIOUS prison time.
Very, very few people have been killed by machine guns since they became illegal for ordinary citizens to own.
_______________
Why don't we have a constitutional right to bear machine guns? Because they are too deadly.
Why don't we have a constitutional right to bear grenade launchers? Because they are too deadly.
Why don't we have a constitutional right to bear flame throwers? Too deadly.
Bazookas? Too deadly.
Surface to air missile launchers? Too deadly.
Mortars? Too deadly.
So why should we have a constitutional right to bear semi-automatic rifles?
A mother in the Texas church covered her children, three girls and a boy, with her body trying to save them. She and two of her little daughters were killed and her little son was shot FIVE times by the semi-automatic rifle-wielding assailant.
But you and other 2nd amendment fanatics want to leave semi-automatic weapons on the protected list, so that the gun industry can continue to make their huge profits and contribute much, much money to NRA servile politicians.
-- How sad, sad, sad was that shoot up in that tiny little church, and who knows, there might have been less deaths if semi-automatic weapons were not so readily available. They should have been outlawed long ago the way machine guns were. But this will keep on happening until finally politicians do what any sane and reasonable person can see needs to be done.
