What's the situation with LePage and the Maine Medicaid expansion referendum?

Is such a referendum binding?

If so, is the governor able to veto? Is that what he's doing?

If not, what is it, just a tantrum?

Va voters to Democratic Party and 2018 Candidates: IT'S ABOUT DONALD EFFING TRUMP, STUPID.

Do you think this message can be received and internalized in time for next year?

You will not convert Republican voters to vote for Democrats. Their voters are their voters. Our voters are ours. They are too Fox Newsed. The best you can hope for is that their turnout will be depressed. And our voters will turn out.

Northam outperformed polls because the GOP voters turnout was depressed and the Dem turnout, with no particular thanks to the candidate or certain former Dem officials, was SUPER ENERGIZED.

The reason the Dem turnout was SUPER ENERGIZED, resulting in a wave that may yet even flip a gerrymandered state house, is the Cheeto Golem in the White House.

Not mealy mouthed statements about sanctuary cities or other claptrap.

Now learn that lesson and apply it going forward!

Trump apparently handed Merkel a BILL for "money owed" for NATO.

Donald Trump handed the German chancellor Angela Merkel a bill — thought to be for more than £300bn — for money her country “owed” Nato for defending it when they met last weekend, German government sources have revealed.
The bill — handed over during private talks in Washington — was described as “outrageous” by one German minister.
“The concept behind putting out such demands is to intimidate the other side, but the chancellor took it calmly and will not respond to such provocations,” the minister said.

So.. wait just a minute here.

Have any of the big media, or prominent Democratic officeholders, called BS in plain language on the President being able to make wild charges out of thin air against anyone (much less his predecessor) and expect to gin up a Congressional witch hunt out of it?

Either to distract from his own mess, to persecute his political enemies, or both at the same time?

"Get Out" - everyone go see this movie now.

One of the best horror movies I've seen in quite a while.

Awesome director's debut for Peele of Key and Peele.

The main character was also a standout in one of the "Black Mirror" episodes, also.
