Trump is re-elected, Trump gets another justice confirmed, Pence is elected in 2024...etc, etc.
Nah. After the mid-terms, Trump is gonna announce he's not seeking another term. He'll endorse Nikki Haley for 2020. She'll crush the the Dem's candidate.

Trump loves coal. He's ending emissions regulations, getting miners back underground, and children's Christmas stockings will be full of it this year.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2018/09/21/walmart-tells-trump-prices-may-rise-if-new-tariffs-go-into-effect/1377610002/
If Trump had any political sense, he would have delayed last week's import tax hikes for consumers until after the midterm elections. He's waiting until the new year before raising import taxes from 10% to 25%, as if that would be more acceptable to middle Americans who are missing out on the Great American Tax Cut Windfall.
Trump is probably hoping that Wal-Mart won't raise prices to intentionally afflict his base of support, the way he hoped China and EU wouldn't target his voters with specific tariffs of their own.
Trump is delusional in believing that Wal-Mart, like Harley-Davidson before, is "with him" as he wreaks economic havoc in the name of National Security. When Wal-Mart executives raise prices to offset the capricious and arbitrary import taxes, Trump will call them a mob of unpatriotic traitors.

The secretly sordid lifestyles of rich, entitled preppies are about to be revealed to the public, "Full Disclosure"-style. Kavanaughgate is already a major breach in the code-of-silence dam that has been sequestering the dirty secrets. Caligular antics at expensive private schools are encouraged and applauded, even by the faculty. The inbred moral decay, and callous disregard for others, is intentionally fostered during the formative years of those who would later become judges, congressmen, CEO's and Wall Street bankers.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/09/21/brett-kavanaugh-christine-blasey-ford-supreme-court-prep-school-culture-bethesda/1367561002/
Once again, those with the most to lose under scrutiny are choosing to position themselves for maximum scrutiny. Trump is the king of this, and his associates follow his example to their own peril, as we have seen with Cohen and Manafort.
If I shut my eyes, no one can see me.
If my friend is the boss, I can get away with whatever I want.

Fixed it for you.
Cruz will prolly retain his seat, but it's awfully interesting that he's concerned enough about a real challenge to it that he's called GOP fundraisers to assist his campaign, and cozying up to Trump...all to retain a Senate seat in the reddest of red states. This shouldn't be even close for Cruz, but he's actually nervous.
You are probably correct because it is texass.
However, one of the latest polls showed it being even.
Notwithstanding your childish, snide remark

Their other haunts include the Heritage Foundation, The Federalist Society, Skull and Bones and a few more bastions for the White Protestant Male.
These men started this country and have enjoyed outright power for generations. Demographics and a changing culture have them clinging to power with murky alliances and Machiavellian principles. The Southern Strategy, fear mongering and Nationalism has been their silver bullet for years. Their recent alliances include Zionist Jews, Neocons, the Religious right, the Tea Party and the Freedom Caucus. However; in Trump they recognized something startling- he has lied with total impunity and the mainstream media has burned up their brakes in terms of sounding the alarm. So now they're back on familiar hunting grounds- blood, soil and racism along with a dangerous partnership with Russian Intelligence and Foreign Oligarchs and the press can't stop it.
This all to maintain a clutch on power, wealth and lineage.

Politico is now reporting that Ford has agreed to testify before the Judiciary Committee...however they are still apart on which day and a range of other details. The old white guys on the committee are still convinced this is a stalling tactic, and it's not a deal until the details are agreed on.
Stalling or not, it's pretty hard to listen to the whining cries of 'obstruction!' when they come from Republicans who used that tactic for 8 long years, and then blocked the constitutional duty that a sitting president had to ensure a SCOTUS judge is replaced in a timely manner. Cry all you want, Republi-bitches.

The number of people with Alzheimer’s disease will nearly triple over the next 40 years, unless something dramatic happens to change trends, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week.
Right now, about 5 million people have Alzheimer’s, the CDC says. That’s about 1.6 percent of the population. But by 2060, that number will hit nearly 14 million, which will then be 3.3 percent of the projected population.
More than 100 million tons of coal ash are generated each year from about 400 power plants across the country. When stored in disposal ponds, such as the one compromised in North Carolina, it is a toxic slurry teeming with mercury, arsenic, lead and chromium -- substances that can cause irreversible brain damage, cancer and other diseases.

Stop ripping on Jody.
If you want the true Jody story, go ask Phildo and Itchy Balls. They are all Staties who have traveled the same Statey-patrolled roads to ensure the safety of a frenetically-mobile citizenry fixated on Highway Star opportunity.
Jody's opinions are valid, as are all opinions.. Anyone going low, ad hominem, is taking cheap and irrelevant shots.
If Jody's opinion, or another's opinion, seems wrong, attack that with facts and logic. Please, don't personally attack the messenger.
Kaitlin Jenner is suing Bruce Jenner. Said he groped herself for years.
I suggest that this is an appropriate typo correction.

jody doesnt have opinions
Then, what are his postings?
If you disbelieve Jody's postings as facts, then recognize them as his opinions.
Or, are you accusing Jody of being a liar?

More than 100 million tons of coal ash are generated each year from about 400 power plants across the country.
Concrete admixture.
Pozzolan.
Coal ash is beneficial in concrete.
The ancient Romans only had Vesuvial sands for their alkalai-reactive material for permanent structures.
That unused and vilified coal ash is, now, an unused structural material admixture.

Look, Jody and Ed are here posting in trying times like good sports. Aside from our internet personalities, I'm certain that I'd get along fine with these guys in real life.
And proof that this demographic continues to be a viable political force- Der Wienerschnitzel remains open for business.
