Jerrold Naddler on Chris Hayes

Anyone else who watched the segment feel like he was just awful tonight? He spent more time explaining the Republican case for the Rosenstein impeachment then attacking it.

Things that piss me off

I realize that people who write articles don't always make the titles. But seriously, any Democrat who agrees with the premise needs to go. This is Mitt Romney-47% bad.


In a statewide election, do candidates really need to bother with Greater Minnesota?

This Fourth of July, Boycott Johnsonville Foods (bratwursts, sausages, etc)

These SOB's are big supporters of Scott Walker which is reason enough to boycott them, but they also are supporting Trump and his tariffs.

So while farmer's are struggling with declining prices and manufacturers close down & lay off workers, these un-American jerk-wads are laughing with their tax cuts to the bank. So this Fourth of July, avoid purchasing Johnsonville. (I would recommend Klement's if it is available in your area). At the very least, it helps Wisconsin Democrats by cutting into one of their Republican donors.

Beware Big Wind (sarcasm)

This is an ad that popped for me on YouTube yesterday that I mentioned in another post. Apparently they are making the argument that MN "politicians" (Democrats) are in the pocket of "Big Windpower". Lots of misleading crap in there.

I especially liked the chart that tried to suggest an increase in use of wind power caused a lower decrease in CO2 emissions, like there isn't anything else that affects CO2 emissions (like a stronger economy), presuming their numbers are even legitimate. Someone will have to explain to me how a wind turbine causes an increase in CO2 emissions.
