Report that Trump stinks.
Then Stay Upwind, America.
Trump stinks!
Kim Jong Un Stinks!
Their "Deal" stinks!
Moldy Stinks!!
Kim Jong Trump stinks twice as bad as both those guys.
The beautiful young lady who handed him the signing pen is his sister. How did THAT happen? (the beauty, not the fact she was there).
Maybe she was adopted.
Some good news from Ohio —
And some good polling (aka speculation) from Ohio
I had the pleasure of meeting Rich Cordray back in 1998 when he first ran for Ohio Attorney General. I bailed out of Ohio and moved here in 2003, but Cordray is still fighting the good fight in a state that's devolved into something of a wingnut shithole.

Almost 30 percent undecided still.
Stay the course Staplegun. They'll steamroll you.
CEA will need to put out another hit piece of Polis.
Many will strive, but only one can be SWAMP KING!

Did she get bounced by Chick-fil-A?
Apparently she/they never completed the franchisee application for Chick-fil-A. So she didn't get bounced, but certainly isn't on their list of approved applicants, either.
if reporting is correct and their net worth is $400,000, and having a hard time affording a house in Oklahoma and accommodations in Washington, DC, they may not qualify as franchisees, anyway.
Senator Chuck Grassley is missing yet another opportunity to be on the right side of history and siding with agriculture. Yesterday the Senator filed an amendment to the Farm Bill that would exclude CBD from legal hemp products and put its fate in the hands of the Attorney General. The good news? McConnell addressed his unwavering support for the industry and the entirety of the plant's opportunities in opening statements to the committee this morning, both CO Senators are on the right side of this argument and it looks like the Senator's 1930's idea is going to be put out to pasture.
Good news. The Farm Bill just passed the Senate Agriculture Committee by an overwhelming 20-1 vote, and will soon go to the Senate floor. The Grassley Amendment was never even voted on. The battle isn't over – Senator Grassley has indicated that he would like to meet with other Senators to incorporate his ideas after the committee votes on the Farm Bill. (I'm not sure you can call the perpetuation of a myth an "idea")
Good news, indeed. With a 20-1 vote, I'm assuming various punitive proposals for SNAP did not make it to the final bill being voted on.
Now, assuming the Senate does not intuit some sort of objection from the White House that will prevent it from being called up for floor debate, we can see if compromise legislation has a chance.
Nice piece on CNBC on this morning's vote:
Senate agriculture panel passes farm bill with hemp legalization
Enjoying the new visibility of our Republican Senator. From Vox
Typical Cory.
What's different this time is the identification of those beautiful beaches Little Rocket Man uses to blast off cannons into the ocean that could be luxurious hotels?!? (built with American steel, no?)
Ooooo … that's an impressive list. Is it your creation or from some other source?
A friend of mine (who is in the military complex)
Late word out of Winnipeg is that Prime Minister Trudeau has contacted Kim Jong Un to see if he can get help jump starting a nuclear weapons program. Said Trudeau, in an e-mail to the North Korean dictator, "You aren't gonna need all that stuff, and it looks like we may need them to protect ourselves from the US dictator."

Duke, you did see Borowitz' piece, right?
