    I hope that isn't BYU's only win this year.

      The headlines are “still too close to call.” Republicans should panic about the house. Great news for Dems.

      Not to go all Trumpian but you can see why people hate the media.

      Cardiac is my prophet.
      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        never mind, it's all good. Fox told me so

        in the very slight chance the GOP loses the House in November, would that be the media's fault?

        By the way, here is a rare realistic look at the current landscape from what is normally a very pro-Trump outlet:

              I agree. He's very good at what he does.

                • At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he tweeted "I never used the N-word. But if I did, I would have called Omarosa one!".
                  "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                    If you don't want a reality tv show circus in the White House you don't hire for it. Trump is getting just what he asked for.

                      Before your second sentence, I thought your first sentence was a chastisement for the American voters.

                        Yeah, his voters don't care. Either they knew this was what they were getting and were ok with it, or they can brush it off as "fake news" and pretend it's not really happening. But from Trump's messaging through twitter and otherwise over the last couple of weeks it seems like he's getting really freaked out by where the Mueller investigation is going. And now also from whatever this Omarosa might have on tape. How in the world do you even hire someone that unqualified or that crazy in the first place.

                          Trump has operated in an authoritarian world, and unlike authoritarians of the past, many have learned a lesson from capitalism. As long as most of the constituents are eating well, i.e., the economy is doing well, you can suppress, engage in corruption and all manner of misdeeds. It works for many political persuasions, because the core of what people first care about, "do I have a job? does it pay enough? do I have a home?" The rest is ancillary and discussion material for the wealthy or idle. For the most part, most voters are not navel gazers pontificating upon issue raised in every article from the WaPo or NYT.
                          "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

                          Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                            • When your salaried work for the government ends, you should lose your security clearance. I don’t care who you are. I'm surprised to find otherwise.

                                I agree, but to remove them selectively as a punitive measure is petty and not a policy.
