Senator Thad Cochrane of Mississippi resigning due to health. Now, I'd say that's a GOP lock this November, but a Dem just won in Alabama which is even more of a GOP lock, so anything can happen.

That victory depended on the Republicans nominating a complete creeper

Mississippi is going to be having two senate elections this November. In the current political climate what are the odds that the Mississippi GOP is able to avoid nominating a weirdo for one of those seats?

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'm sure Mississippi can come up with a doozy of their own :D

A rare example of in depth investigative journalism from CNN:

Jailed Russian 'sex coaches' offer to trade election info for US asylum

This story has it all: blonde woman in a Thai prison, Life Without Panties, Fake News, Russian oligarchs, espionage and the never ending 2016 election.  CNN even managed to work themselves into the story; so you can tell it's really important.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Disagreed about the tariffs, so got the axe I suspect.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Doubtful.  I think the story was from the beginning that he threatened to quit if Trump went through with the tariffs.

So we had our Primary today. Early indicators show me the Republicans will destroy in the statewide elections by a smaller margin than usual. TAKE THAT TRUMP  :P

There was some moron running in the Democratic Primary for State Senate around here who wanted to outlaw fracking, I made sure to vote his ass down and he is getting crushed so that is good.

Saw that early voting for the primaries had more Dem votes than GOP for the first time since 2006.

Outlaw fracking? What a loser.

And the GOP won all statewide elections by double digits in 2006 :P

I expect it to be closer this time, but the Republicans should still sweep based on what I am seeing so far.

I was a little bummed to see George P Bush still win the Republican nomination for Land Commissioner comfortably despite his remarkable incompetence and his pro-Trump propaganda offensive against his Ron Paulite opponent. Ah well.

But nationally the GOP did quite poorly in 2006, so I'd consider it a good sign.
