Damn I'm so proud of my state.

Not surprised.

Is there a GOOD jazz trio?

Not a fan of jazz. Was once in a record store with second hand CD's. There was a "Used Jazz" section and "Used Gospel".

Where it was "A genius and an idiot both listening to smooth jazz" and within a minute they both had the same reaction:

She blew the socks off the Louisiana Philharmonic.

Just not my cup of tea

Aka, the guy who did all the music for Peanuts.

Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and his father, jazz pianist, Ellis, released an album in 1995 called, "Joe Cool's Blues," where they covered a lot of the Peanuts songs as well as played some originals written in the style. In the liner notes, Ellis wrote about how he would make his kids watch the Peanuts specials because they had the best jazz you could find on TV at the time.

Never heard anyone diss jazz before ---- but perhaps you haven't ever heard it aside from Kenny G and that crap?

It's just not my personal favorite.

on the list.

Always good to know who is acting on behalf of foreign dictators.

It's a lower percentage of Russiapublicans in the House than in the Senate.

Edit to add:
There are 42 Russiapublicans in the Senate -- they voted to enrich Deripaska and Putin.

McConnell probably won't let it come up for a vote.

So tired of these shits. They just vote no on everything.

and neither is the latest offering from Idaho's 1st District, Russ Fulcher. Gohmert's showing him the ropes while Russ is trying on the shoes of his predecessors, Steve Symms, Helen Chenoweth-Hage and Raul Labrador.

Idaho's 1st can do so much better, but they-just-never-do.

is conducting the peoples work while McConnell obstructs. Traitor bastard.

I like the ratio and I like NATO. Just want all NATO members to pay their fair share = 2% of their country GDP.

These people have zero interest in the rest of the world. Pat Buchanan would be proud.

He ran against a dead woman in our district. She died after she won her primary. He also voted to drop the sanctions on Russia. He's one of Putin's pets too, I guess. I'm going to write the local papers to make sure people know how he votes...

I think I'll do that too. I hope we have an awesome candidate in 2020. Roy was voted in with a thin margin. I'm so angry at all the stupid voters around here. Ugh!

the 22 Russian republicons

The Reagan worshipper wants to empower Russia now.

Hypocrite.

Jim Jordan, no surprise there.

Call them out as the traitors they are!

Are Republicans all that different from Bernie Sanders who skipped the recent Senate vote blocking the Trump administration from lifting sanctions on a Russian billionaire, and who also has a long history of criticizing NATO as wasting US tax dollars. Indeed, hasn't Bernie advocated for a fundamental change in NATO from a bulwark against Russian expansion to a group that includes Russia. Are Bernie's views on NATO all that different from Trump's?

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called for a new accord between America, its closest allies and Russia as well as Arab nations as a major plank on how to destroy the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

“We must create an organization like NATO to confront the security threats of the 21st century — an organization that emphasizes cooperation and collaboration to defeat the rise of violent extremism and importantly to address the root causes underlying these brutal acts,” the Democratic presidential candidate said Thursday during a speech at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

“We must work with our NATO partners, and expand our coalition to include Russia and members of the Arab League.”

NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, started at the doorstep of the Cold War and eventually became a major alliance against the then-Soviet Union. So accepting Russia into NATO, or creating a new defense group all together, would rearrange one of the world’s most powerful bonds by uniting the former rival countries around ISIS as the modern enemy.
