Uh-oh! Here that noise? It’s like the noise a giant, 300 pound slug might make slurping it’s way across the pavement. It’s Bill Barr being majorly activated!

This is pretty surprising to me, especially considering it’s attached to the military budget. If it somehow made it through the Senate and House, Trump would never dare to veto it.

Funny thing about this…
In the south, they refused to buy his locomotives, because he was such an outspoken abolitionist.

I was actually surprised. Maybe the Southern Confederate Flag waving contingent is smaller than I think. I would have that this would have been very tough to get support from particularly from any Southern Republican Senators. But a 25-2 vote is pretty definitive.
I’ve been assuming that the anti-Confederate Flag movement was a political problem in border swing states and definitely in the south. While I agree that the Confederate flag is something that a lot of horrible people are flying to show their racist nature, I was worried pushing on this issue could cost critical votes for winning the Presidency and the Senate. But maybe not, maybe the vast majority of southerners have moved past that.
Anyone from the South have any insights into how big the pro-Confederate Flag contingent really is and how pervasive it is? Where does the “centrist” Southern voter (where centrist is defined as centrist within the Southern political culture) stand on this issue.

“I weep for you,” the Walrus said:
“I deeply sympathize.”
With sobs and tears he sorted out
[Oysters] of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
“O Oysters,” said the Carpenter,
"You’ve had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?’
But answer came there none–
And this was scarcely odd, because
They’d eaten every one.

Nothing of any value was done.
I’m sure this will appease protesters.

I encourage him to stick the executive order up his ass, using force with compassion.
