White House fires top Tillerson aide who contradicted account of Secretary of State's dismissal

You have to declare a party in NH to vote in a primary. I want to vote in the Republican Party primary but I'll be embarrassed because you can tell from the colors on the top of the ballot which party it's for.

Absolutely under no circumstances will we be putting up signs, and normally our 1000 feet or so of street front property is filled with signs. I went out one day in November of 2016 and some yahoo from the Trump campaign, who must have seen our Ayotte/Guinta/Sununu signs, goes ahead and puts up some big Trump/Pence sign with the rest. I was pissed and told my husband to take it down and to the dump, stat.

We have always had an open primary.
I don't believe in GENERAL jungle primaries, like California.
I do like party jungle primaries, as with the recent Texas primaries.
I believe all state rules should be the same for federal offices, whatever for state offices.

I live in a 'lock her up' sign neighborhood.
Lots of buyer's remorse, and ... but Hillary and ... but Madigan ...

I'll be pulling a gop ballot, one vote for the incumbent GOP congressman and another against the gop governor.
One against a TEAloon for the House; one for a TEAloon for governor ...

Picky, picky. The democrats have no acronym matching the GOP. It's their fault, not mine.

How about the DuNCe, after their performance in 2010 and 2014 ?

Canadians do not make that distinction. Nor are we unaware that a good number of "blue state" democrats support the trade war.

Nor are we unaware that Canada has never had one word of official "thank you" for sheltering tourists at 911. Little Georgie couldn't get over his distaste for Jean Chretien, the longest serving prime minister in Canada's history. It might sound petty at this point, but in dealing with the psyche of a nation it becomes very important.

We have been your best friend for 150 years. This is not the first time we've been attacked in a trade war, in fact the war on lumber is four decades old...and illegal..

Five times since 1980, and during one of the Canadians were being killed in Afghanistan on your behalf. Note that it mentions 12,000 jobs lost in BC alone.

Now why would we suddenly trust people in "blue states"?

A former governor of the Bank of Canada has said if Canada wants to get even for fifty years of fighting, now is the time to do it...because America has no friends is deep in debt and the more they retaliate the more they are hated.

In closing, Canada was not given a reprieve because of anything democrats did, it was all the work of Paul Ryan.

Signed, someone who is on the hairy edge of changing her registration from Republican because she's embarrassed to let anyone in her town see her carrying a Republican ballot ever again

We have free beer in the Democrat corner. It's craft beer, we play a lot of annoying hipster bands, and lines for new restaurants are way too long, but for the most part it's a pretty good scene.

We had high end bourbon at one of the Marco Rubio house parties in 2016. Can I bring bourbon to the Democrat parties? If so, I'm in.

You never saw anything like this unless you were suckered by all the lies about Obama and Hillary. Trump has got his family in charge of diplomacy, hired foxes for every henhouse and is openly benefitting from foreigners looking for favors. It is the most corrupt Whitehouse in our lifetimes. Only a tribalist could turn a blind eye to these things.

Try not to be logical when these guys are setting up a new conspiracy. It just makes them have to work that much harder.

Well, Tillerson's ties to Russia through Exxon were evidence of Trump's Russia conspiracy with Russia until Tillerson was let go, now Tillerson's ouster is used as evidence of Russian conspiracy.

What did he say that in verified to be the truth? My point is that the entire story is built on speculation, which is the only truth in this thread.

And MY POINT is YOU might like it, but the US isn't alone in this world. You're out of allies now. Changing horses in mid stream is not going to fill them warm and fuzzies about Trump.

This isn't a New York real estate deal and he's definitely NOT the smartest guy in the room

I don't think we've run out of allies. I do agree that our allies, many of them, don't like Trump and his tactics.

I don't think we've run out of allies. I do think many of our allies don't particularly like Trump and his tactics, and that's understandable.
