Hah! Yeah, about like that. But I”d like to think my character was shaped out on the prairie. After seeing how Washington worked, I moved my family to an old farmplace in mid-central Minnesota. Solid conservative neighbors and friends, but I can sneak into Minneapolis once in a while for the Guthrie Theater. And the weather keeps the riff-raff out.

I grew up as a farm boy in South Dakota, which provides me with strong bucolic credentials. Much later, and far away, I was employed by a lobbying law firm in DC for a decade.

So, something like “I’m from Iowa. I only work in outer space.”

My concern, frankly, is that AG Barr will be “removed as a threat” by whatever means necessary.

I had hoped I was the only one thinking one of those means.
But then, I expected John McCain to have a “sudden heart attack” if he had ever gotten polling that might indicate he would win.
He never got close IIRC, and then the Democrats didn’t believe anyone predicting Trump’s win.
I understand his Secret Service detail is augmented by private security.

If they had not shown their extreme bias against Trump in many ways (tweets, books, interviews. etc.), their alibi might hold some water. ” – JJ

FWIW, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jack Phillips at Masterpiece Cakes not because of First Amendment rights, but because the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had overtly, blatantly, and demonstrably conspired to attack him due to their personal hatred of his Christian principles and opposition to his practice of the same.

In Colonial times, only male “freeholders” were allowed to vote. That was largely carried over into state constitutions after The Revolution. Some states allowed all taxpaying males to vote.

Here’s an interesting article:

Althouse today has a post on previous use of the term by the NY Times.

I’m also happy to see that creep Greg Craig going down for the same thing that Mueller went after Manafort for. K street will be decimated. GOOD !
