    You’re reading a lot between those lines if you don’t see any distance between “no blank check” and “not sending any more aid”.

    No I mean the republicans who stand behind a dictator before they stand behind democracy.

    I voted a straight Democratic ticket yesterday for reasons mentioned. Dropped my ballot off at a 24 hour drop box by bicycle located a couple of miles from my home at a park entrance.

    My ticket is going to be peppered with D’s ( much to my chagrin) and R’s. Probably no L’s, G’s, this time around.

    I’m sorry I won’t be able to vote in the city election because the best alderman choice for my condo area is essentially the Republican candidate even though he’s running on a Democratic ticket because everyone runs on a Democratic ticket in the city.

    The only Republican I voted for on this ballot was the Registry of Deeds who was voting unopposed, and I have also dealt with her extensively via phone and she is a wonderful, competent person, so I voted for her.

    It would have been a tough choice if she had a Democratic opponent, but I probably would have still voted for her.

    Now I find this statement confusing because I thought the Democratic lead Congress passed the most important gun reform of recent decades. At least they are bragging about it.

    funny, since it doesnt actually control any guns but it throws money at a problem, Pretty much the M.O. of the Democratic Party

    Please note I used a CNN source so that you could understand it.

    Today a federal court blocked that illegal action.

    You are the one who needs to understand. What you don't seem to understand is that the ban would have been much more but was blocked by republicans. The bipartisan gun law was just that. If you read further in your citing... CA had the best laws because they have a democratic gov. The republicans block as much as they can because they are subsidized by the gun lobbists.

    Do you have to be so snarky?
