"Scared of Charlotte" is a whole new level of "scared of cities" that I'd never even considered possible
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be

And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

One of the challenges was always gonna be 'how do you end this shutdown?"
And apparently the big brains in the Dem Senate decided that the answer was gonna be "let the GOP have everything they had before".
Fire them into the sun.

this is why I don't really believe that calling him a once-in-a-lifetime gifted *politician* in the same vein as Obama is correct; being a politician requires the gift of campaigning AND governing. what Trump is is a once-in-a-lifetime *conman* who knows how to play our mass media to his every whim.
