Been out of town (In Mississauga) the last few weeks....only go on the forum when I'm bored,,,,Glad to see you are still on the planet, Sleepy. I was beginning to have serious concerns. Wisdom like yours (and mine) is sadly lacking here.
Fewer full time jobs replaced by two part-time, lower wage jobs together adding up to the same hours ... it's an apocalypse on the Middle Class.Such crap. Why are there more people employed in the US than ever before?

“Numbers show requests from African-American voters for absentee ballots in Georgia are coming in to county elections offices at a rate not seen since Barack Obama was elected president in 2008,” WSB-TV reports.
“According to the GeorgiaVotes.com website, which compiles data made available by the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, 41.9% of all absentee ballot requests are coming from African-American voters, while 44.7% are coming from white voters.”

Only Dems burned crosses.So the crosses burning on their front lawns haven't scared them off, yet?
Now, if angry, previously sexually molested women can be persuaded to step up and vote ...
Fractious lot the broad spectrum party that includes everyone to the left of Atilla the Hun. Gotta wonder if your two party system may have run it's course.The Dumbocrats still have the chance to snatch defeat from the jaws of certain victory, and it seems like they're doing everything they can to do just that.
"Trump Sucks," while certainly true, ain't much of a platform.
Total bullshit. Millennials will “forget” to vote.http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/kids-alright-theyre-voting-midterms-study-finds

The Kids Are Alright — And They’re Voting in the Midterms, Study FindsReport shows young people planning to vote in historic numbers in 2018

Young people, who typically sit out midterm elections, are planning to vote in potentially historic numbers in 2018, according to a report released Tuesday from Tufts University.
People ages 18 to 24 are also receiving more campaign outreach and paying closer attention this year, potentially matching the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, according to a report from the nonpartisan Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University.
“There has been repeated skepticism about young people and their intent to actually come out to vote,” said Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg, the center’s director. “It’s been really surprising to see even the teenagers express as much enthusiasm around voting.”

The survey of 2,087 people ages 18 to 24 found 34 percent were extremely likely to vote. Forty-five percent of those voters said they would vote for Democrats, versus 26 percent for Republicans.

Fox News Dumps Live Trump Rally Coverage After Ratings Tank
Fox News has stopped covering Trump’s rallies live because they were drawing lower rating than their regular primetime programming.
Politico reported, “During three Trump rallies last week, Fox News showed clips and highlights from his speeches but stuck largely with its normal weekday prime-time programming. On Saturday, when “Fox Report Weekend” and “Justice with Judge Jeanine” would ordinarily air, the network showed Trump’s speech from Topeka, Kan., in full. But on Tuesday, a rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa, was particularly hard to find — it was not aired live on any major network, and even C-SPAN cut away for other news. And on Wednesday night, as Trump took the stage in Erie, Pa., at 7 p.m., Fox News stuck with its coverage of Hurricane Michael.”
Trump is a ratings loser for Fox News
Fox News viewers still love Trump, but they don’t tune in because everybody has seen Trump’s act before. He offers nothing new. It is the same old schtick, with the same tired lock her up and build the wall chants that viewers have heard for the last three years. Trump needs to get some new material. CNN and MSNBC dumped Trump’s rallies long ago, as the networks both deemed them not newsworthy, but it is still a blow that Trump’s cable news home base doesn’t want to take the hit of showing his rambling rallies to a Trump fatigued nation.

Yet he is still President of the United States , and despite his crass bullying tactics has had two , count them 2 Supreme Court Judges nominated . That megalomaniac has changed the face of the court for years to come . It is quite possible a third could become available . Doesn’t that just send shivers down your spine ?Trump fatigue indeed. He has been tiresome , shallow, superficial and repetitive for a long time now.
