Quite so. X is shrinking every day. I work very hard making sure that happens.

I can't follow the dialogue between ponygirl and Arkansawyer as well as I'd like. I wish I understood more, but as to identity politics, I think it is both toxic and necessary, and as to traditional liberalism, I think it is both dated and needing to be reclaimed. So somewhere in the mushy middle for me I guess. Bottom lines for me are that modern identity politics never would have evolved as they did had traditional liberalism not failed (or sold out), and identity politics alone won't get us where we need to go, and we need to refocus on the class and economic issues that lay underneath identity politics to move forward.
And I still don't like seeing ad hominem attacks no matter who they're directed at.

Confuse what you can of the ending
And revise your despise so impending
‘Cause I soak on the wrath
That you didn’t quite mask
I’m getting it clearly through alternate paths
Or mixed in with the signal you’re sending
The Katy Tur treatment for you, kind sir.

I'm in love with Katy Tur and her constant Phish lyric references in her political commentary.

Thanks for all of the suggestions dude! I really, really appreciate them. I'll touch base with you closer to.
Wait...is there tidings of peace in the Neverending Thread for Political Shit. I'm sorry for that. I'll make like one of Trump's Big Mac shits and get the hell out now.
I'm not sure if this is real or not. Shit, I'm not sure anything is real or not anymore. BUT, this is the best source I've found for the 'Fake News Awards'. It has been postponed a number of times, so I'm not sure if the Orange Anus will follow through or not. Either way, should be a total train wreck.
The extent to which the FBI has evidence of money flowing from Torshin to the NRA, or of the NRA’s participation in the transfer of funds, could not be learned.
However, the NRA reported spending a record $55 million on the 2016 elections, including $30 million to support Trump – triple what the group devoted to backing Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race. Most of that was money was spent by an arm of the NRA that is not required to disclose its donors.
Two people with close connections to the powerful gun lobby said its total election spending actually approached or exceeded $70 million. The reporting gap could be explained by the fact that independent groups are not required to reveal how much they spend on Internet ads or field operations, including get-out-the-vote efforts.
