No idea who that is

It was about the video not NJ the article

Best article I've seen about Ahmed Mohamed.  All the initial reports were that he took a clock apart and put it back together.  Suddenly, though, as the story spread he built the clock and was the future of engineering.  Some perspective and insight is a good thing.  I still can't figure out why he's going to the White House (although I can.  I just hate the stupid reasoning of social media demanding rapidity of thought and action).

John Boehner is going to resign at the end of the month.  Wow.  We're just a few years removed from a series of elections in which the ability to garner bipartisan support was deemed a virtue to compete over.  Now, it's a weakness.  Trying to actually work together in Congress is a weakness.  freak.

The next leader better not be one of the Tea Party demagogues. I'd like my country to actually function.

LOL.

Too bad the last shutdown actually wasn't their fault, but hey keep thinking one senator from Texas has the ability to bring the entire government to a stand still.

I'm gonna be freaking pissed if we have a shutdown over Planned Parenthood.

Lame.  Planned Parenthood needs to be split.  How hard is it to fund an organization that provides all of the wonderful non-abortion services Planned Parenthood provides?

[Ignatius J Reilly]

I haven't heard one person defend Planned Parenthood by talking about their awesome abortion.  It's all about these necessary medical services for women.  Pretty sure the other side of the aisle has no problem funding an organization that provides only those.

Here's your compromise: you agree to fund contraception and you agree to not funnel funds to an organization that also provides abortions.

It's awesome that the next Speaker may be a rep from one of the shittiest districts in California, and one that probably has the highest per capita rate of illegal immigrants in the state.

I'm going to guess he's someone who is able to speak to a fellow congressman who are on the other team and make compromises and laws happen?

I can't wait to see all of the people on the left who were sucking the Pope's dick last week react to the Kim Davis meeting.

Does anyone think it actually happened?

Does anyone think it actually happened?

Well, the Vatican confirmed it, so I think people do believe it happened.

Something tells me Kevin McCarthy isn't going to be the next Speaker any more.
