Mine does that, too. I love him, but geez.

Anyway, given the results of a mere 1,000 Russian-paid trolls on our 2016 election, I'm thinking we can't afford to discount the 'jackpine radical' fringe group. Now, I suppose I'm a Social Democrat, or a Democratic Socialist, whatever, but I'm not a purist. I'm not voting for some fringe party candidate because in our system that merely throws away my vote. I don't know the answer to this group, and those who come on here trolling, but it seems like we have lots of little 'faux outrage generator' posts on here. Ones that are more divisive than anything else. This concerns me.

To piggyback on what you said above, the attorney who filed this claim was clearly incompetent to argue anything before the Supreme Court, because his arguments were all thrown out on technicalities.

What bothers me most, though, is why, when we have a cancerous pustule in the White House and this cancer has metastasized to the US Congress, did these plaintiffs even bother with this lawsuit. Yeah, I have a real low opinion of Wasserman-Schultz, and I believe the claims in the suit had merit, but I myself would never have filed it in the first place. Why?

Because now is the time to band together and start putting together election-winning strategies, not refighting a primary.
