[I think I'll start this sandbox off with another confirmation of the 'two separate worlds' notion that abets our progress toward the Great Divide. It is always good to climb up the taxonomical tree to see under which branch these individual dust-ups we dissect belong.
A futile exchange on Bob Crabb’s blog (here). Mr Crabb accuses Trump administration members of harboring ‘medieval beliefs’ and being “religious fundamentalists” and people who would lock up gays as “deviants”. Challenging him to provide proof, Bob comes back instead with citations of policies the administration backs as prima facie evidence that such sentiments could only have come from people harboring the detailed medieval beliefs. When I pointed out the difference between policies and the alleged belief systems, as his repartee I was accused of being just like the other medievals and religious fundamentalists, extremists who are “destroying this nation just as much as the extremists on the other side of the fence.” In support, this drew in Messrs Frisch and Anderson, two of our local leftwing's intellectuals, who had similar problems setting up the dots and then correctly identifying their connectedness. In the process I was again accused of being a “traitorous ideologue” who should find a home on other shores. gjr]

That makes sense. Sources (Donna Brazile” or someone up in the HRC Campaign/DNC already noted that Hillary was dropping hints about The Holy Dossier Grail of Russiagate back in July. July? Hmmm. About the time Bubba and Loretta were discussing her non-existent grandchildren on that hot and steamy tarmac. About the time Comney let My Gal skate on gross negligence, a special provision in the Espionage Act that requires no motivation….written that way on purpose, but I digress.
Bottomline: “In a filing mostly ignored by the pro-dossier U.S. and British media, Mr. Steele acknowledged in a declaration that he never verified the information. He also said his work never should have been made public, as was done by the news website BuzzFeed, which posted the entire document in January.”
Yep, only a fool would take THAT dossier at face value. ALL information feed to Steele by Russian operatives and “KGB” type agents, lol Only the war hero Neocon ‘off his rocker’ McCain and some spastic human wannabe reporter from the NYT would be insane enough to swallow that floating boneless brown.

Wow….when you join the black rifle club you really join the black rifle club!
Anyway….your choice of accessories leads to a couple obvious questions!
1) Now I’ve seen you Doug….. and a man of your age and carriage and with you giving it the old Sierra College try, presumably you can still get into the “shooting position”. Once there I’m guessing that you will spend your usual minute thirty actually “shooting” assuming of course the the “little blue bullets” are working their magic?!
Now if everything goes according to plan at the “range”….theoretically…. how do you clean your “rifle”?
You use Hoppes Gun Solvent on the pink end or maybe you just take the whole thing into your walk in tub and hope things turn out OK?
2) Please tell me that the “business end” of your new rifle is latex or some other synthetic material!
I’m really praying that, were the Nevada County Sheriffs to search your secluded rural compound they wouldn’t find the remains of some poor runaway with her lady bits cut out like in Silence of the Lambs”…..please tell me you didn’t go full on “Buffalo Bun” when outfitting your new toy!

Anyway Punch, a legislator is supposed to reflect the opinions of those he represents (…..the reason that Maxine Waters is perfect for the district that she represents) and since issues of marriage and sexuality (both gay and straight) are political questions to a certain degree; if Alabama wants to elect a guy who isn’t perfectly comfortable with homosexuality it’s well within its rights to do so!
Homosexuality is pretty much ignored these days by society at large I imagine the gay community will weather this storm just fine!
