I’m usually pretty good with counties in NC but I can never keep it straight with Morganton, Lenoir, and Marion and which one is in McDowell, Burke, or Caldwell county. All those foothills counties just run together in my brain.

Nah. Why the hell would Trump care about Colbert? If there's any late night host he hates, it's Kimmel. The late night market is pretty bad. Trump killed it. Now the jokes are mostly just depressing.

An even more intense battle is expected on the Senate floor over the nomination of a Trump immigration policy enforcer to a lifetime judicial post.


“… Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved the nomination after Democrats stormed out in protest when the panel’s chairman, Senator Charles E. Grassley, called the roll before every Democrat on the committee had a chance to air their objections.

“Sir, this lacks decency,” said Senator Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, his voice raised and visibly agitated. “It lacks decorum. It shows that you do not want to simply hear from your colleagues. This is absolutely wrong!”

Mr. Grassley ignored him and plowed on. In a voice vote, committee Republicans voted to confirm Mr. Bove, 44, to a lifetime appointment on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which encompasses Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. …”
