Although she's old, mills seems fine right? She's won't be the deciding vote on the filibuster should that come up?

Do you think this is policy specific for Rs? Or is it one of those "Trump says good so I say good" sort of things?

Knowing God wants a specific relationship with me helps me put the rest of the chaos of life in perspective. God loves me as demonstrated through the Eucharist and that makes the rest of my life easier.

Thanks for sharing your faith. So I'm assuming you're Catholic like me, and I agree that there's something wonderful/powerful/important with the Eucharist. Knowing that it is a direct/real/tangible interaction with the living God impacts me in a very positive way. 1/2

Gotta look at his itemized deductions to see what his gambling losses were. My guess is it's pretty close to that amount.

Articles about movie economics are so tiring. Aside from never really getting into the weeds of finances (which are very weedy), execs don't really care...they want to be on the Oscar stage. They want to have a legacy.

It's also good to have robust primaries. For dems at least, it usually produces effective general election candidates - which is ultimately the goal.

How black is that man's soul with the amount of constant lying he does? Is there a 'Dorian Gray' picture somewhere which gets more decrepit with each lie he tells?

For those of us following...is it that states *can't* have majority-minority districts or states aren't *required* to have them (but still can if they choose)?

Can we also say how good the field/end zone lettering/logo looked last night and in combination with Atlanta's unis? Bijan running all over it was a visual treat.
